One of the ways to do such things- . The land may be converted as Stock in Trade, on the date when the plan is passed by the local authorities. . For arriving the profit in the construction business , market value as on the date of conversion may be taken as part of Cost of Sale of the property constructed. . When the documents of constructed property will be executed two fold tax incidence will arise. . The difference of Market Value and indexed cost of acquisition of the land would give rise to Capital gains. . The Difference in Sales consideration and Cost of Sale (includes FMV of land) would give rise to the Business Income. .
