Hi Vivekanand,
If the company sale machinery which is Depriciated than on sale of machinery if the sale value is more than Opening WDV of Machinery, it is treated as short term capital gain...and it is liable to tax accordingly..

Hi
In Accounting perspective:
To calculate the gain or loss on the sale of an asset, you compare the amount of cash received for the asset to the asset’s book (carrying) value at the time of the sale. If the cash received is greater than the asset’s book value, the difference is recorded as a gain. If the cash received is less than the asset’s book value, the difference is recorded as a loss.
In order to have the book value at the time of the sale, you must record the depreciation expense up to the date of the sale.
Thanks
