A proprietorship firm was converted into a Pvt ltd company during 08-09. All assets and liabilities were taken over by the compnay and the Proprietor's Capital account was partly adjusted against the share capital and partly as Unsecured loans. The proprietor is also the Director of the company.

How will the IT returns for 08-09 of the two entites be filed. Separate return for Proprietorship till the date it existed and Pvt ltd co. from the date it took over to 31.0309. The TDS certificates are in the name of two entities as per the period of Business.

Is capital Gains tax applicable on such transfer?
