I checked the TaxScan link you have mentioned. It is a news article about a ruling by ITAT, Mumbai. I cannot read the full news article as TaxScan asks for payment. I do not know, whether CBDT has made any modification to taxation rules based on that ITAT order.
But if this has been implemented, there should be provision for mentioning this in Schedule OS.
Special rate of tax has to be applied as it is supposed to be Capital gains.
Also, the Section 56(2) of the Income Tax Act referred by ITAT is not about advance payment but about Property Transaction done below Market value.
Under OS, your 70 lakh would attract 30% tax + 12.5% surcharge + 4% Cess, would become a huge amount.
So check thoroughly from other sources as well before doing your filing and tax payments.
