As per books of accounts, profit / loss on sale of asset is = Sale consideration - WDV till the date of sale. As per income tax, if both block exists and value is available, then there will not be STCG or Terminal Depreciation. Rs. 14 lacs will be deducted from the block and Rs. 4 lacs will be added to the block.

Thank you Sir for your reply. this means, suppose total business profit Rs 6 Lakhs and Profit on sale of Building Rs 4 lakhs total profit as per P&L Rs 10 lakhs. but I have to pay tax only on Rs. 6 Lakhs only as no STCG will arise.
