What do you mean by stamp duty paid as per guidance value? & sell amount totally received in bank!

Dear Expert

This is true picture.  The government guidance value is Rs.75000/-  and market value is Rs. 5 lacs/ for one cent-.  It is in a village in Tamil Nadu.  The stamp duty ( including registration) is 9% (as per the writer).  The buyer is insisting that the sale deed must be registered using the government guidance value of Rs.75000/- and he will pay the stamp duty and registration charges on that value only.  Remaining amount ( 5 lacs – 75000) will be paid to me through bank transfer.  My real question how does the amount (5 lacs – 75000) get treated.  What should be done to get the amount (5 lacs – 75000) also get  considered for capital gain. 

Thanks for the time and attention – Ignesius

To calculate the capital gain on the sale of a property, you need to follow these steps:

1. Determine the Cost Basis: This includes the original purchase price of the property, along with any additional costs incurred for improvements, such as renovations, additions, or major repairs. Add these costs together to calculate the adjusted cost basis.

2. Determine the Selling Price: This is the amount you received from selling the property.

3. Calculate the Capital Gain: Subtract the adjusted cost basis from the selling price. If the selling price is higher than the adjusted cost basis, you have a capital gain. If the adjusted cost basis is higher, you may have a capital loss.

4. Consider Exemptions and Deductions: Check if you qualify for any exemptions or deductions that can reduce your capital gains tax liability. For example, in some countries, there may be exemptions for primary residences or certain types of properties held for a specific period.

5. Determine the Tax Rate: The tax rate on capital gains depends on various factors, including your country of residence and the duration of property ownership. Consult the tax regulations in your specific jurisdiction or seek advice from a tax hydraulic steering system professional to determine the applicable tax rate.

You cannot register the property at rate different than the higher amount received from purchaser. Both purchaser & seller will be under litigation.
