Refer to section 47 the section read as follows
Any transfer of capital asset or intangable asset by a firm to a company as a result of succession of the firm by a company in the business carried on by the firm subjected to the following conditions

all assets and liability are transfered

all the members of the firm become the share holder of the company in same proportion

consideration received is not other than by way of shares

aggrigate share holding is more than 50% of the total voting power

only after satisfying all the conditions capital gains would be exempted.

please read the section and apply this will solve your query.
