WDV as on 31.03.2012 100000 Depreciation for AY 2013-14 10000 ------- Cost of acquisition 90000 Less: Sales Consideration 500000 ------- Short Term Capital Gain U/s 50 410000 . You have not clearly stated that rental income is being shown. . The above approach is conservative still workable as depreciation has not remained a matter of option. . You can invest in a Residential House property and get exemption benefit U/s 54F. .
