I had booked an under construction residential property in mumbai in 2010. the registration of the same was done in 2013. at the time of purchase of the property in 2010 the ready reckoner rates were less than the reckoner rate in 2013, hence i could book the property at an economical rate. when i got the property registered. since i have paid the stamp duty as per the reckoner rates in 2013, i have received a notice from the It department under Section 56(2)(vii)(b) of I.T. Act 1961 explaining why the difference of amount should not be added in my income. some body please guide what can be done of this situation.
