I have started a construction business and have purchased land worth 50 lakhs and now I have started the construction of house on that land. Now my question is that land should be treated as Asset or inventory because I have to sell the house after completion and the construction will take 15 months to complete let's assume.

for the persons who are into the business of property developments, land will be considered as only inventory and it all the construction works will be shown as work in progress till you receive completion certificate or occupancy certificate from the local authority/.
