Buying of property at a price more than SDV

My query in this case is,

1) Which value will be capitalised in the books/balance sheet? Actual transaction price or the SDV?

2) Which value will be capitalised in the books if the SDV is more than transaction price?

Quick Summary
When purchasing property at a price exceeding the Stamp Duty Value (SDV), the actual transaction price, along with incidental expenses, is capitalised on the balance sheet. However, for tax purposes, if the SDV is more than 105% (or 110% from April 2020) of the actual transaction value, the SDV is considered the cost, and the difference is taxed as income for the buyer.

Price will be always at actual
Agreement value added with incidental expenses will be capitalized as cost of acquisition.

However for tax purposes if SDV is more than 5% that is 105% or above of actual value then SDV will be considered as cost and difference will be taxable as income under income from other sources. (in buyer's hands). The said 105% will become 110% or above effective from 1-4-2020 (FY 2020-2021)
