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

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.

Nice And Simple incometax rules isn't it?

For Any Queries on incometax contact me.
