31 July 2012 Block of asset can never be negative, hence on 31/12/11, u have a gain according to law, whether STCG or LTCG, and cannot claim depr on Rs. 10000 but u can claim depr on Rs. 50000 at half rate.

Hope your query is resolved

31 July 2012 When asset is sold during the year, then depreciation is not charged for that year. Hence your gain will be Rs. 10000/- (20K-10K)
since block gets nil.

And it is STCG since depreciated assets gain are always short term inspite of holding period.

Right answer is..udont have any gain or loss,and depreciation shall be on Rs. 40000 at half rate.cz we see block value at the year end for depreciation purpose.

01 August 2012 Dear aadish,

As per my understanding block of asset is not seen at the end of FY.

STCG will occur in this case.
