Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether the difference between the stamp duty value of a purchased property and the amount actually paid is considered taxable income under Section 56(2) of the Income Tax Act. If this difference exceeds fifty thousand rupees, it is indeed taxable under the head 'Income from Other Sources' for the recipient.

Definitely, as it exceeds by 50000. it will be taxable in the hands of transfree under head other sources.
As per Section 56(2)(x), any person receives an immovable property for a consideration which is less than the stamp duty value of the property by an amount exceeding fifty thousand rupees, stamp duty value of such property as exceeds such consideration is taxable as income from other sources... So, for you_difference is taxable.
