At the stage of CIT(A), the matter was referred the matter to the District Valuation Officer, who has valued it around ₹ 29,83,500/-. Now the assessee s AR claims that this value should be substituted for the value declared by him in his return of income. On this issue, we are of the view that once the assessee has himself has offered the value adopted by the Registering Officer at ₹ 52,40,700/- and filed the return of income and paid the taxes.
