Dear Expert,
Our firm is in construction line of business. We purchases a land and construct it and sell the flats.
Land so purchased is tobe shown under purchases or Fixed Assets.
Land so purchased is constructed within a period of around 2 years.
If we shown it as a Investment, then after construction of building will it amount to conversion of capital asset into stock in trade? and capital gain will arise
OR
If we shown a land as fixed Assets then also capital gain will arise.
If We will Show it as a purchases then no capital gain will arise at the time of sale of flats.
Which method is correct? Plz guide me. I am confused.

No, in any case on sale of constructed buildings would not form part of capital gain. It's income from business and profits
