Property Purchased on Auction

I have purchased the residential property on auction in FY 2014-15 at bid price which is less than stamp duty value of property on the date of registration.At the same the difference between stamp duty value and purchased price is more than 50k.

Today i have received the notice from department u/s 148 saying i have escaped the income tax for the said transaction.

Do i need to pay tax on property purchased less than stamp duty value when property itself is purchased on fair market value through auction?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a query about receiving an income tax notice (Section 148) for a residential property purchased at auction in FY 2014-15. The purchase price was less than the stamp duty value, with the difference exceeding £50,000. The user is seeking clarification on whether tax is payable on this difference, especially since the property was bought at fair market value via auction. Advice includes responding to the Assessing Officer with explanations and supporting documents like bank statements.

In my opinion & as I understand the income tax act ...I can say is only 10 percent variation from municipal value of property is allowed from financial year 2019 / 20.
if auction price is less by 10 percent compared with municipal price, then tax has to be paid as per municipal value
still requested to reconfirm from professional
How much amount is escaped
Previously it was 2 percent or 5 percentage....so u might have got notice to pay tax on difference with int.
Write a letter to the Assessing Officer who has sent notice u/s 148 by stating that the property in question is not undervalued but purchased in auction and self attested copy of the bank letter that property purchased by you
