What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that the assessee fulfilled the conditions of the provisos to section 56(2)(x)(b), meaning the stamp duty valuation on the date of allotment should be considered. The issue was restored to the AO to compare this valuation with the actual sale consideration.
