Vendor is asking for money not to be shown in the agreement

Respected Experts,

I have a problem & need your advice on the issue. Please help.

I am planning to buy a house at Rs. 40. The vendor on the other part is requesting me to register the prop @ 30.00 ( afraid of capital Gain tax). 

I have paid a consideration of 1 to vendor already, & wish to have a agreement for applying for the bank loan of 20. Now the vendor is asking me to apy the diff amount of 40.00 - 30 = 10.00 in cash before signing the agreement for sale. He also says that the same will not carry any referance anywhere & also I will not have any possesion also. We were suggested that we can have 2 agreements 1 for 30 declaring 10 as received & 2nd for 40 declaring as 10 received - the agreement for 40 will also say that the balance amount wioll be paid in terms of bank loan cheque & part  cash at the time of registration of the property.

The vendor is not agreeing to this also. Please suggest the best way to go forward.

Yours truky,

Shashidhar

for concealment of facts there remains some risk from revenue/tax authority, but will not hamper your agreement to enforce the contract for purchase of immovable property.

House is a commodity sold in market partly for black money and partly for white money.  If you want the commodity purchase on seller's terms or leave it.  What you have narrated is a common problem in the society faced by almost all buyers.  There is no formula to overcome this problem.  Put up with difficulty either way.
