1 No, it will not be transfer of business, capital gains tax not applicable. 2 An existing partnership firm can be converted into LLP by complying with the Provisions of clause 58 and Schedule II of the LLP Act. Form 17 needs to be filed along with Form 2 for such conversion and incorporation of LLP. ITC can be carried over to LLP. Income tax loss can be carried forward. New PAN and GST registration required.
