if u have capitalized the furniture, then on plain paper issue a sale agreement / sale invoice of furniture and fixature to the buyer, and receive the payment by cheque.

remember you have to have to furniture and fixature in your balance sheet in fixed asset to avail this process.

No need to mention the furniture value in the main agreement of the sale of property. Make the sale agreement of the furniture on plain paper. You will not be required to pay the stamp duty also to the extent of sales value of furniture.
