When you purchase the land it is capital asset. When you intend to do business of making plots it amounts to treatment of the same as stock in trade (i.e. conversion of capital asset into stock in trade) and will attract capital gain u/s 45(2). The chargeability of capital gain will postpone till the date of its final sale under business of selling the plot. Sale income of plots will be covered under business income (PGBP).
