Roopa, It is not clear that joint ownership of land with whom. who is other one. Who is selling the apartment with land. please write the more details. Income tax is not concerned with accounting treatment. Business entity has to prepare books of accounts, and as per this profit should be true and fair.

A who is in the selling an construction business can claim the cost of land as direct expenses. The value of land can be decide betwween the parties but it will not be less then circle rate or the rate precscribed as per the stamp duty act.
