E-filing - calculation of depreciation on vehicle

This is my first post on this forum :).

I am trying to do my efiling and under schedule DPM - Plant and Machinery at 15% I have a vehicle.

3. WDV on First day of previous year : 100000

4. Additions > 0

5. Consideration or other realization : 50000

6. Amount on which depreatiation at full rate > 50000

7. Additions for a period of less than 180 days : 200000

8. Consideration or realizations > 0

9. Amount on which depreciation at half rate : 200000

10. Dep at full rate : 7500

11. Dep at half rate : 15000

14. Total dep : 22500

17 Written down value : 227500

Now logically this does not tally. I had a car whose written down value was 1 lakh and I sold for 50 thousand. So I incurred a loss of 50 thousand on sale of car.

Then I purchased a new car for 2 lakhs. 

So logically the written down value at the end of the year should be 2 lakhs - 15000 so 185000

So why does the income tax form generate a different written down value? Or is it that I am entering some value wrong? Kindly guide me.

Thanks
