 Consequences: 1. *Penalty under Section 271(1)(c)*: The buyer may be liable for a penalty under Section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for furnishing inaccurate particulars of income or concealing income.

 3. *Loss of Exemptions*: The buyer may lose exemptions or deductions available under the Income Tax Act, 1961, due to the incorrect disclosure.

 4. *Interest and Penalty on TDS*: The buyer may be required to pay interest and penalty on the TDS amount that should have been deducted but was avoided due to the incorrect stamp duty value.
