03 March 2011 The property acquired by the private limited company will be the property of the company and not the members. Hence even after transfer of shares by members, the land will continue to be the property of the private limited company.

09 March 2011 stamp duty will not be involved in case of land but shall be involved only for the shares so transferred.

Also kindly remember sec 56 of Income Tax Act which provides for valuation of shares being transferred.There in there shall be tax liabillity if the value of shares is less than the value so determined u/s 56.
