No set-off under any rule shall be admissible in respect of,—
(a) purchases of motor vehicles 1[(being passenger vehicles)] which are treated by the claimant dealer as capital assets and parts, components and accessories thereof unless the claimant dealer is engaged in the business of transferring the right to use (whether or not for a specified period) for any purpose, in respect of the said vehicles and the expression “motor vehicles” and “goods vehicles” shall have the same meanings as respectively assigned to them in the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988;
This is in respect of Passenger Vehicle only, so you should get full setoff on that truck .
