Advice on Short Term Capital Gains

Hello
I am planning to sell a piece a land I brought for INR 53 Lakhs which is the actual value I paid but the stamp duty value is around 27lakhs last year May 2022
If I sell the land for 56 Lakhs, what would my cost of acquisition be, is it 53 Lakhs or 27 Lakhs?
I am looking at short term capital gains here if I must choose 27Lakhs as cost of acquisition and being a non-resident, Can I claim any deductions such as buying a house or flat in next one to two year or any other ways to avoid taxation on this STCG

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the calculation of short-term capital gains (STCG) on land sale, specifically questioning whether the cost of acquisition is the purchase price or the stamp duty/circle rate. The user, a non-resident, is concerned about tax implications and seeks ways to reduce or avoid STCG, such as investing in property. The advice highlights the importance of the registered agreement value and documentation like RTGS transfers for substantiating the cost of acquisition.

The COA will be Rs. 27 Lakhs only. How can you say that you paid 53 Lakhs by banking mode, if the same is not incorporated in the agreement?

Stamp duty value cannot be 27 lakhs. pls post actual circle rate.

Let me rephrase it, Circle Rate is 27 Lakhs, Market Value is 52 Lakhs 

What is the agreement value registered with?

The only way I can think of it is by using the RTGS transfers made by me to the sellers. I am not sure if this acceptable 

agreement value registered with is only 27 Lakhs
