respected members,
what is the treatment of liquidated damages received in connection with capital asset?
that is whether explanation 10 to section 43(1) applicable or not? that is whether it would reduce the actual cost of asset or not?
thanks in advance
Section 43 (1) states that actual cost" means the actual cost of the assets to the assessee, reduced by that portion of the cost thereof, if any, as has been met directly or indirectly by any other person or authority.

Thanks alot sir, So it would mean that the liquidated damages received are, (1) Neither taxable as revenue item, (2) Nor to be deducted from the actual cost of asset for the purpose of depreciation u/s 32.
