You can convert capital asset into stock in trade by making entry in your books of account. But beware of provisions of section 45(2)wherein any conversion of capital asset into stock in trade will be treated as transfer in the year of conversion itself and taxability of capital gains arises in the year in which this converted stock is sold. For computation of which fair market value of asset as on the date of conversion is taken as the full value of consideration and simultaneously business profits are also calculated.
