My client is Ltd Construction Company. Earlier years they purchased Land and entered in Fixed Assets. Now, I want to correct the entry by transferring such land in Stock.

27 May 2015 In accounts, its just passing of JV but from the point of view of Income Tax Act,1961 following are the implications:

1)There will be short term or capital gain as per the holding period from the date of acquisition to date of conversion into stock in trade.
2)FMV of the land as on date of conversion would be the sale consideration
