Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to calculate long-term capital gains when a property is sold for a higher amount than stated in the sale deed due to government rates. While the sale deed might reflect a lower figure (e.g., Rs. 4 lakh), the actual transaction value was higher (e.g., Rs. 6 lakh). Experts advise that the actual sale price should be considered for capital gains tax, even if paid partly in cash, to avoid penalties and ensure legal compliance. Ignoring the actual amount could lead to issues with tax authorities.

Sale deed executed for only Rs. 4 Lacs. sale price would be 4 Lacs only.
4 lakhs rupees shall be considered as it is shown in deed executed
Ok sir thanks a lot

your welcome for  response

Deed price need to be taken.
If value as per sale deed is the consideration for computation of LTCG, then what will happen to additional 2 lacs that has been received?
Yes... I am also with Mrs CMA Poornima Madhava...

If the amount received through banking mode then it's falling under illegal transaction. Also it's questionable in income-tax.
If the transaction has been carried through banking then they have to show 6L as sale consideration.
government value will be the minimum price to offer.

If the transaction (receipt of 6 lacs) has not been carried through bank, then can 4 lacs be considered as sale consideration?

Yes...
if seller will show cash amount also sale amount then no more problem.
If seller not like then he is the responsibility for the transaction and it's related activities...

Here the querist has specifically mentioned that the property is sold for 6 lacs. So in that case, 6 lacs can ONLY be the sale consideration whether received in cash or through bank. Further, accepting cash would lead to violation of provisions of section 269SS and 100% penalty will be levied.

So in the above scenario, I don't think considering 4 lacs as sale consideration is legally correct.

According to me ₹600000 shall be considered as Sale consideration. If ₹4,00,000 is taken as sale consideration then Rs 200000 would be considered illegal.
