I have following querry An individual owns a land as capital assets for 2 years. He and two other have formed the partnership firm for development of land. The indivial introduced the land to partnership business as capital here the capital asset converted into stock in trade. But the entity is changed. My query is about the taxability under capital gain short term or long term... In which year taxability arises? year of conversion or year of sale of flats? What will be the effect on taxability if the individual on his own has developed the land

Capital Gain shall be taxable in the year of sale but period of holding shall be reconed from the date of acquisition to the date of conversion.

here capital assets is not converted in stock in trade but investment is made of a capital assets the book value (as recorded in P' firm of the land ) sale be the sale consideration and the year when such assets is converted . indexation will NOT be available as the land is held for 2 years giving rise to short term Capital Gain .
