Quick Summary

A homeowner is planning to sell their house and has a buyer lined up. The buyer has requested to split the sale price into two parts: a larger amount for registration and a smaller amount for interior works. The seller is concerned about the tax implications of this arrangement, especially since they lack receipts for past renovation expenses. They are seeking clarification on whether this split is permissible and how it might affect their tax liability.

13 February 2023 I propose to sell my residential house this month. A buyer for this is already identified.Amount of sale consideration fixed at Rs 7800000 (Rupees seventy eight lakhs only).Now the buyer requested to break up the sale consideration into two parts,viz...Rs 59 lakhs( fifty nine lakhs) to registration and balance 19 lakhs( Nineteen Lakhs) towards Interior woodworks and modular Kitchen Etc,so that he can save some money outgo to Registration Dept. All payments are proposed to be paid by A/c Payee Checks only. we have paid to the builder by a/c checks only towards acquisition of the said property,4 years back.That time onwards,we spent about 8,00,000.00(eight Lakhs) for Woodworks,False ceiling and Modular Kitchen and Furniture etc periodically and we do not have all the receipts of that expenditure on our files. In the above circumstances,please clarify,if we can allow the current buyer of our property to show the break up of sale consideration,as stated in para 1 above.An early reply from you will help us to go ahead and enter into an agreement for Sale accordingly.
