For allowability of such deduction, the expenditure should be wholly and exclusively in connection with the transfer. A mere nexus between the compensation payment and transfer ould not suffice. Hence you should have documentation supporting your claim.
There is no direct case law in this matter. You can take help from following:
1. CIT vs Ramnatahn 152 ITR 489
2. CIT v Bradford 261 ITR 222
3. Ambavala v CIT 133 ITR 343
However, following case laws weaken your case:
1. Sita Nanda v CIT 251 ITR 575
2. CIT v Radio Talkies 238 ITR 872
