ITAT held that the assessee's property transaction did not constitute a short-term capital gain. The tribunal found no evidence of actual property transfer or possession, and the total consideration paid (Rs. 5,00,20,000) exceeded the market valuation (Rs. 4,74,00,000). The unregistered agreement was not considered a valid sale deed. The appellate tribunal set aside the lower authorities' order, directing the AO to delete additions under section 56(vii)(b), effectively allowing the assessee's appeal and rejecting revenue's claims of undervaluation.
