What did the Tribunal hold?

What were the facts?
The assessee purchased immovable property for a consideration of INR 2,87,96,200.

The assessee contended that the property was booked and substantial payment was made on an earlier date, making the proviso to section 56(2)(x) applicable.
What were the issues?
Whether the stamp duty value on the date of allotment or registration should be considered for the purpose of section 56(2)(x), and if the provisos to the section are applicable.
