Quick Summary
A buyer is seeking advice on purchasing a resale flat where the owner is demanding a portion of the payment in cash to reduce the official sale value. The buyer, who is salaried, is concerned about potential repercussions. The advice given highlights that this practice is illegal and can lead to higher future income tax liabilities due to a reduced cost basis. It also points out the difficulty of legitimising 'black money' for salaried individuals.

First of all it is illegal
second it will decrease your cost so if you will sell in future then there will be more income tax liability.
Since you are a salaried person you will be having 99% white money which will be transferred into black asset.
Not a good option
