(A) - transfer taxable under capital gains. Capital gain would be Valuation as per stamp valuation authority reduced by cost/indexed cost of acquisition. Exception - As per Sec 50C no adjustments shall be made in a case where the variation between stamp duty value and the sale consideration is not more than ten percent of the sale consideration.
