loss on sale of asset is called Short term or long term capital loss.
If asset is depreciable and there is no asset in block then it is short term capital loss.
if asset is not depreciable then if period of holding is more than 36 months then it is long term other wise it is short term.
Capital loss can be set off.

I am not agreeing with the above suggestions because as per income tax act
Loss on sale of Fixed assets(If any) should be chargeable under head PGBP, not Capital gain

No Akshey, u r not correct
loss of fixed asset is charged to P/L A/c in accounts and not in tax
under income tax it is charged under capital gain.

i agree with akshay to some extent. if block of assets is nil then it will be regarded as short term or long term cap loss/profit depending upon the case. but if block exists then we have to charge in p&l under head pgbp whether therer is loss or profit on sale as a business loss.

if block exist nd then there will be no capital loss. the amount of sale price will be reduced from WDV nd any balance remaining will be eligible for depreciation
