Dear Learned Members,

Section 72A of Income Tax Act States that , the amalgamating company

(ii) has held continuously as on the date of the amalgamation at least three-fourths of the book value of fixed assets held by it two years prior to the date of amalgamation;  to carry forward & set off business loss and unabsorbed depreciation in the amalgamted company.

Now my question is that should i consider the gross block or net block for calculating the Book Value of fixed assets.

Please help

Regards,

Shinil.
