04 December 2015 sec 45 (2) of Income tax. Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1), the profits or gains arising from the transfer by way of conversion by the owner of a capital asset into, or its treatment by him as stock-in-trade of a business carried on by him shall be chargeable to income-tax as his income of the previous year in which such stock-in-trade is sold or otherwise transferred by him and, for the purposes of section 48, the fair market value of the asset on the date of such conversion or treatment shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset

04 December 2015 Sir, Section 45(2) speaks for CAPITAL ASSET. Whereas, my query is for contribution of land held as STOCK IN TRADE by the partner which he wishes to contribute in the partnership firm.

04 December 2015 Sir, section 45(2) speaks for CAPITAL ASSET. Whereas , my query is for contribution of land held as STOCK IN TRADE by the partner which he wishes to contribute in the partnership firm. Whether the provisions of section 43CA will apply since it is held by the partner as STOCK IN TRADE ?
