The market value of a property for the purposes of Section 47-A of the Indian Stamp Act[1] must be calculated with reference to the use to which the land is reasonably capable of being put immediately or in the foreseeable future, according to the Allahabad High Court.

The Allahabad High Court has stated that, for the purposes of Section 47-A of the Indian Stamp Act, the market value of a property must be established with reference to the use to which the land is reasonably capable of being put immediately or in the near future. It should be emphasised that if an instrument is found to be undervalued (as was the case in this case), a procedure has been established under Section 47-A of the Act for determining the correct stamp duty on the instrument.

The market value of the property must be considered, and if the market value of the property mentioned in the instrument is less than the minimum value determined in accordance with the Act's rules, the registering officer has the authority to impound the instrument when it is presented for registration.

It should also be noted that the authority has the authority to require the person entitled to pay stamp duty to pay a deficit stamp duty calculated on the basis of the minimum value set in accordance with the rules and to return the instrument for registration.
