The Tribunal held that the primary issue was the estimation of the land value under Section 50C of the Act for capital gains computation. Section 50C mandates that the value adopted by State Government authorities for stamp duty purposes shall be taken as the consideration for computing capital gains. If the assessee claims the stamp duty value exceeds the fair market value, the AO can refer the matter to the Valuation Officer. In this case, the assessee claimed the stamp duty value (₹1,80,20,000) exceeded the fair market value. The DVO's valuation was ₹1,53,15,300, which was lower than the stamp duty value but higher than the sale consideration. The CIT(A) rightly adopted the DVO's valuation. Since the assessee was a co-owner, 50% of this valuation was attributed to him. The Tribunal found no reason to interfere with the lower authority's order.
