Agreement vs. lower amount on sale deed

Hi,

For my resale flat, the buyer paid all white money to me; but at the time of registration the sale deed was made at the government rates which is much lower (almost half of the agreement amount what he paid).
Is this OK?

If it's OK how do I account for the extra money that came as the sale deed is only for half the amount. While filing my taxes what proof do I show that I received the full amount from the buyer. I didn't even realize this while signing on the sale deed

I have a sale agreement (which is not registered) but says the full amount that was paid to me. Will this suffice for IT purposes to prove where I got the money from?
Please help.

thanks so much in anticipation for your replies.

Normally the sale deed should register in guideline value. In your case, if the registration done for guideline value then ok, If any discrepancy and  it will be traced in future then the buyer must pay the difference with fine

Thank you sankar sir.

The sale deed is on the government approved rate.

But I got more payment as the market value is much more. Hence the discrepancy is how do I show where I got that amount from?

The sale agreement says the total amount (which is the larger amount)
