Since you said that there is "transfer of Knowledge", then there will be definitely be capital gains because transfer includes all kinds of transfer except those exceptions specified. Therefore it is an income and not a capital reciept. This is self generated asset and thus cost of acquisition is zero.(Sec 55(2)(a)). The purchaser of the Knowledge shall be entitled to claim depreciation as it an intangible asset.
