difference between actual consideration and stamp duty value will be treated as gift(other sources) and if it exceed 50000 then the whole amount of gift will be chargeble to tax.

Dear saloni,

Prior to Finance act 2010, immovable property received without any consideration or without adequete consideration is taxable under the head income from other sources and the difference between actual consideration and stamp value if the same exceeds INR 50000 would be taxed as Income from other sources.

FInance Act 2010 amended this provision and it provides as follows : any immovable property received without consideration is taxable under the head income from other sources if the stamp value of such property exceeds INR 50,000.

Thus, only if immovable property received free of cost as a total gift without paying anything, it would be taxable under the head income from other sources. Otherwise no.

U may also refer finance act 2010 for ur reference. Hope this solves ur query.

Thanks and Regards,
