From the Querry , it appears that the Asset in Question is reflected as Building. Under the IT Act, the Dep. is allowable on the basis of the Block of Assets and the individual item of asset loses its identity after the same is being put to use.
The sale value is to be reduced from the block of assets and the Dep. is to be counted on the balance.
As the Asset would be discarded, nothing would be realised except scrap value.The sale proceed is to be reduced from the Op. WDV + Add. in that Block of Assets and compute the depreciation on the resul;tant figure.
