p.s. You have said that the assets will be sold and the profits will be distributed by the partners.

the provision of Section 46 relating to distribution of assets by the co to it's shareholders in case of  liquidation & the related CG tax is as under:

Capital gains on distribution of assets by companies in liquidation.

 ⁹⁶ 46. (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in section 45, where the assets of a company are distributed to its shareholders on its liquidation ⁹⁷ , such distribution shall not be regarded as a transfer by the company for the purposes of section 45.

(2) Where a shareholder on the liquidation of a company receives any money or other assets ⁹⁷ from the company, he shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head “Capital gains”, in respect of the money so received or the market value of the other assets on the date of distribution, as reduced by the amount assessed as dividend within the meaning of sub-clause (c) of clause (22) of section 2 and the sum so arrived at shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration for the purposes of section 48.
