9. Computation of capital gains in the case of conversion of capital asset into stock in trade U/S 45(2) :-
Investment (2000-01)
Converted into
Stock in trade (2005-06)
Sale (2016-17)
1. Conversion of capital asset into stock in trade is treated as transfer for the purpose of
capital gain.
2. For this purpose the fmv on the date of conversion is taken as sales consideration.
3. Thus Capital Gain = FMV on date of conversion – Purchase Cost.
4. However such capital gain will be charged to tax in the year of actual sale & not in the
year of conversion.
5. In the year of sale,
Business Profit = Actual Sales Price – FMV on date of conversion.
Cg = SC – COA
(Taxed in the year on sale)
BP = Sales Price–FMV on
date on conversion
