Conversion of a sole proprietorship into a private limited company entails a “transfer” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended (Income Tax Act). ... However, there is a provision under section 47(xiv) of the Income Tax Act, which lays down certain conditions for exemption from any capital gains.
To convert a Sole Proprietorship into a Private Limited Company, an agreement has to be executed between the Proprietorship and the Private Limited Company (once it is incorporated) for the sale of the business
Sole proprietorship can be acquired by the private limited company by simply signing an agreement between the sole proprietor and the private limited company (after its incorporation) mentioning that all assets, goodwill, liabilities are transferred to the private limited company.
Further, such Private Limited Company so incorporated must have “the takeover of a Sole Proprietorship Concern” as one of the objectives in its Memorandum of Association.
It may be noted that a private limited company must have a minimum of two directors. The incorporation rules of a private limited company mandate the minimum share capital requirement to be Rs 1,00,000

Thank you all for your valuable advices. I got the clarity for converting proprietary concern into private limited company.
Need clarity on stamp duty, if any involved. As per advices it comes under the definition of "transfer " under Income Tax Act duly complying the conditions to get exemption for capital gains tax. However, how the Land & Building get transferred to the company? they will also get transferred along with other assets? No need to approach sub-registrar office? What is the procedure for the mutation of Land & Building properties in the name of the company in the state of Andhra Pradesh? Any stamp duty is involved? I am grateful if anyone can clarify.

Stamp duty is state issue, independant from Income Tax provisions.
You have not mentioned your State?
You should contact local lawyer for the same.

It's Andhra Pradesh. Basically my doubt is whether stamp duty will come into picture or not.

Stamp duty is duly attracted. There is no chance of any exemption.
