No sir, if the shareholding of the sole proprietor falls below 50% then capital gain will arise..hence there will be a transfer in the said case..

What is covered U/s 47(xiv)? It is not the transfer of capital assets by a proprietor to his company. It is the SUCCESSION by a company of the proprietary business.
So it is transfer chargeable to tax whether the shareholding is 27% or 57%.

Wel the query was transfer of capital assets from proprietary concern to Pvt Ltd Company.
Given that the business of both companies is same and there is already a pattern of shareholding now, at present, it is not a new company. To claim 47(xiv), the proprietorship must be succeeded by a company.
Hence a transfer chargeable to tax, since here only an asset is being transfer.

Yes capital gain shall arise. In case when properietorship concern is succeeded by a company and certain conditions are satisfied then there will be no transfer
