Any statutory backings for it sir?

Section 2(14) – Defines capital asset and excludes rural agricultural land.
CBDT Circular No. 682 dated 13-12-1995 clarifies that for property which was earlier not a capital asset, once it becomes a capital asset, the period of holding is counted from that date.
Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) and Courts have held similarly that holding period starts only when asset becomes a capital asset.
