A sold a house to his friend B on 1-11-2023, for a consideration of ` 25,00,000. The Sub-Registrar refused to register the document for the said value, as according to him, Stamp Duty had to be paid of ` 45,00,000 which was the Government Guideline Value. Mr. A preferred an appeal to the Revenue Divisional Officer, who fixed the value of the house as ` 32,00,000 (` 22,00,000 for Land, balance for Building portion). The differential Stamp Duty was paid, accepting the said value determined.

Assuming that the FMV is ` 32,00,000, what are the tax implications in the hands of Mr. A and Mr. B for the A.Y. 2024-25? Mr. A had purchased the Land on 1-6-2019 for ` 5,19,000 & completed the construction of house on 1-12-2021 for ` 14,00,000.
