Office Premises was purchased and sold in the same year without claiming depreciation. Another office Premises purchased during the same year and profit on sale of first premises is reduced from the purchase price of subsequent office. Thus the entire sale price is reduced from subsequent purchase being in the same block of asset. However on subsequent purchase of office no depreciation is provided. AO treated the sale transaction as short term capital gain.
