Quick Summary
When a car is sold during the year, depreciation is calculated based on the WDV block concept. Sale value is reduced from the block of assets, and depreciation is charged on the remaining balance. Any profit or loss on sale is adjusted within the block as per Income Tax rules, rather than directly writing off loss to P&L.

first check whether any asset is there in that block of assets.

if yes deduct the sale amount from that block and then caluclate the dep

 

if not directly take that amount to Profit and loss a/c with out taking the Deprecitation

yes, i agree with Mr. Sudhaker. for income tax it is so. 

But for Company Accounts purposes, u can charge Dep.

i have three car in opening and sold one in oct.

W.D.V  as on 1st April                               XXXXXXXXXXX

Add: Purchases during the year             XXXXXXXXXXX

Less: Sold During the year                      XXXXXXXXXXX

 

Balance As at 31st March                       XXXXXXXXXXX

Dep On Bal at 31st March.    XXXX

 

No Loss will be transferred to P/L A/c. if the Balance on 31st Mar is positive.

as per companies act,you have to provide depreciation for 6 months

and in income tax treametn suggested by ankur goyal is correct...

Dear Sonu,

In the Given Case u have Sold a car and wdv is rs.275000 also u say that there is 3 car with u and also if we deduct sale value from wdv we are left with balance amount of rs.175000 hence we have to charge depreciation on balance 175000 as per incometax purpose.
