1. yes, they can form LLP 2. yes, they can do the business of development, subject to RERA; as applicable 3. section 45 is silent about LLP. (In case of firm, the capital gain arised in the year in which the captal asset is transferred to firm, on the value at which the same is recorded in the books of accounts. 4. Since LLP is in the name of those 2 who hold the land jointly, no need to transfer the land in the name of LLP. (However, if the land is transferred to LP, stamp duty is very much payable)
