Opening WDV - Plant and Machinery
Add New Asset
Less Sold Asset
Less Dep (incld addl depreciation)
Closing WDV
Notes:
1. Additional Dep is allowed
2. If the asset sold is the only asset in block then capital loss u/s 50 would have to be calculated
3. Asset should have been put to use
If the above conditions are fulfiiled then all is allowed.
