12 August 2025 Hi! Here’s how Mr. A can handle the transfer of land from “XXX Textiles” to “RRR Real Estate” in his books:

---

### Scenario:

* Land purchased under “XXX Textiles” on 05.04.2023 for ₹30 lakhs (vacant land, 50,000 sq. ft.)
* New business “RRR Real Estate” started from 01.04.2024
* Need to transfer land from old business to new business accounts

---

### Accounting Treatment:

1. **If Both Businesses are Sole Proprietorships of Mr. A (Same Owner):**

* Treat this as a **business asset transfer between two business segments**.
* Transfer the land’s **book value** (₹30 lakhs) from “XXX Textiles” books to “RRR Real Estate” books as capital introduced in the new business.

**Journal Entry in RRR Real Estate:**

```
Land A/c (RRR Real Estate) Dr. 30,00,000
To Capital Introduced by Proprietor (Mr. A) 30,00,000
```

**In XXX Textiles:**

* Remove land asset from books by transferring it to proprietor’s capital account:

```
Capital Withdrawn by Proprietor (Mr. A) Dr. 30,00,000
To Land A/c (XXX Textiles) 30,00,000
```

---

2. **If Both are Different Legal Entities:**

* The transfer is treated as a **sale or capital contribution**.
* Land transfer will be at **market value** or agreed price.
* Proper documentation is needed (sale deed/transfer deed).
* GST implications may arise if applicable.
* Accounting entries will depend on sale price/payment terms.

---

### Important:

* Maintain clear records and valuation for audit and tax purposes.
* Consider legal formalities if different entities.
* For GST, if land sale is exempt or taxable, check accordingly.

If you want, I can help draft the journal entries or guide on GST and legal aspects!
