03 March 2011 i have 4 factory gala in block of asset as on 31.03.10.....the wdv is very less as on 01.04.2010 say rs. 1 lakh as the depreciation is claimed for manuy years...one of the gala is sold in the year 2010-11 for say Rs.50 lakhs .... whether the excess amount over wdv will be considered as short term capital gain?

if no asset is purchased in the same block whether entire excess will be taxed?

can i purchase the asset after march but before filing the return of income?

04 March 2011 all depreciable assets are treated as short term capital gains irrespective of thier holding.

in this case all 49 Laks will be treated as STCG.

you have to purchase the assets falling in the same block end of the financial year and that too for more than the STCG
