Dear Niki,
Accounting Treatment
I think New Asset will be recognized at the FMV, & difference of WDV of old asset & FMV will be recognized as Profit/Loss on Disposal of Old Asset.
Income Tax
WDV =
Opn. WDV = X
Add :- Assets acquired = Nil (Since cost is met by insurance co.)
Less :- Full value of money's payable = Nil (Since insurance Co. has replaced the asset & has not paid any money)
Depreciation will be allowed on amount "X"
Now in this casecapital gain will be computed with reference to Sec 45(1A) read with Sec 50
Sales = FMV Of the new asset
Less = X
