The provisions of Section 53A ,envisages situations where under a contract for transfer of immovable property , the purchaser has paid the price and has taken possession of the property even though the transfer deed or conveyance has not been registered. In such cases the transferor is debarred from agitating his title to the property against the purchaser.

For more detailed analysis refer: : section-53a-transfer-property-act   

As per Sec. 2(47) of IT act.....

(47) "transfer", in relation to a capital asset, includes,  .... ..... ....... ...... 

(v) any transaction involving the allowing of the possession of any immovable property to be taken or retained in part performance of a contract of the nature referred to in section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (4 of 1882)
