Working of Capital Gain

This query is : Resolved 

17 July 2008 My Client sold a shop building in the year 2001 which was earlier used for business & dep. was claimed accordingly. The gain of Rs 50000 from sale of shop was adjusted against the cost of rs 3 Lacs paid for new commercial property purchased in the same year. The new property has never been used in business & no depreciation has been charged till date. Now the new asset has been sold on 30.06.2008 & a surplus of Rs. 5 lacs has been generated. Plz tell me whether the same is Short Term or Long Term ?

17 July 2008 gain from Sale of new property is Long term capital gain

The gain from sale of First Property was adjusted against the second one as an item in the same block of asset. Will it not effect the tax implication while calculating the gain on same property. I think the block adjustment indicates that the gain is Short Term U/s 50 of Income Tax Act.


17 July 2008 You are saying that the property was never used in business

17 July 2008 Originally the property was purchased as an item of the same block but could not be used on account of closure of that unit & also no depreciation has been charged.

17 July 2008 Originally the property was purchased as an item of the same block but could not be used on account of closure of that unit & also no depreciation has been charged.

18 July 2008 It is clear that the property, though merged with the block, remained without depreciation charge ever since 2001 (the year of acquisition of new property). The block was also not further depreciated. Therefore I am of the view the gain on its sale is only LT capital gain.



18 July 2008 Mr.Srinivasaraghavan,

Further to my query i want to add that there is a deeming provision U/s 32 of income tax act that in a case dep. is not charged than it shall be deemed as presumed that such a depreciation charged and allowed hence under the circumstances shall i be able to convince & satisfy my version of treating the same as ST Gain
