If the transfer of the land was through registered document......... capital gain liability over the original land owners arises in the year of the transfer, which would be long term.

Otherwise mutation in favour of any POA holder/ his sons requires some authentic deal/reason.

Once the deal of 2016-17 is established, the gain in 2017-18 can be capital gain (ST) or business income depending upon the treatment of land in books of accounts.

Mutation of land by family members in favour of  POA holder ( also a family member & land holder of the same property) was on the  basis of registered  POA deed , further transfer to  his sons was a non regsietred one , (as in Maharshtra , transfer of land property within family members is exempt from doing a regiseration , mere notarsied document is OK)
 
 in that case  what will be csot of acquistion and cost of transfer for the transferee- son of POA holder to transferor -developer , for which POA will be consenting (if required)

 

Supreme Court held that the GPA method of immovable property sales is not a valid form of transfer of property.
