The value of Machine belonging to Mr. A on 1.4.09 was Rs. 100000/- & that of Mr. B was Rs. 70000/- at the same date. On 1.10.2009, they have decided to exchange their machine to each other.There is no other consideration.

23 June 2010 if the machines are held as business assets and depriciation is being provided than there would be no gain because the block of assets remain in the books.

machine is also not a capital assets hence there would be no capital gain as well as capital loss.
