.
Loss on depreciable assets under the conditions prescribed U/s 50 is a short term capital loss and accordingly it has to be shown under the head Capital gains. It is suggested to read the Section.
.
You may pass the entry by debiting the Loss on Sale of Assets A/c and transferring the same to P&L A/c.
.
While preparing the computation of Total Income, Add the loss in NP as per P&L A/c and show it separately under the head Capital Gains.
