WDV of a assets is RS 10000/- on 1/4/11. it is sold for Rs 20000/- on 31/12/11. and repurchase same block of assets of Rs 50000/- on 3/3/2012.what is treatment of depriation

Block of asset can never be negative, hence on 31/12/11, u have a gain according to law, whether STCG or LTCG, and cannot claim depr on Rs. 10000 but u can claim depr on Rs. 50000 at half rate.
Hope your query is resolved

When asset is sold during the year, then depreciation is not charged for that year. Hence your gain will be Rs. 10000/- (20K-10K) since block gets nil.
And it is STCG since depreciated assets gain are always short term inspite of holding period.

Me and neha was wrong.sorry for that Right answer is..udont have any gain or loss,and depreciation shall be on Rs. 40000 at half rate.cz we see block value at the year end for depreciation purpose.
