A Sole Proprietorship firm can be converted into a Private Ltd. Company by way of a takeover.
For this what all you have to do is to execute a MOU between the proprietorship fim & the Company in which the value of firm shall be taken as consideration for takeover. If the consideration for takeover is to be discharged by way of allotment of shares, then F-2 or F-3 (depending upon the circumstances) shall be filed with the ROC in which copy of MOU shall be attached.
In case of takeover, no Capital Gain Tax is attracted.
