If an immovable property is sold under value rate (meaning that the value for which the property is sold is below the guideline value), then the seller would be deemed to have received the full consideration i.e. as per stamp duty value, and taxed in the hand of the seller accordingly.
Similarly, the difference will be treated as 'income from other sources' in the hands of the purchaser and taxed accordingly.
