WDV needs to be calculated in accordance with provisions of Income Tax. You cannot claim indexation since depreciable assets are short term capital assets. Capital gain calculation depends on fact whether it is the only asset in the block. Capital gain/loss is calculated with reference to block, individual asset has no relevance.
