Declare the income under head Long Term Capital Gain, with indexation. In second case the gain would be ST in nature, if used under any block of assets.

Thank you Rambhia Sir. You mean to say, In second case it will treated as business income of the company that would be routed through P&L and taxed as per company tax slab rates???

Not exactly. It is disputable issue. As per act it is considered as short term cap gain. But here it being plain land depreciation is not allowed and the asset is considered as investment only, so long term cap gain.
