20 August 2009 No depreciation will be charged for the year as income tax prescribes the rate of 7.5% for assets purchased & used for 180 days or less & not on the sale of asset. In this case Rs 3000 will be deducted from the gross block of assets....Hope u r satisfied.

21 August 2009 Hi,

Calculation wil be as under:

Op. Bal. 1,00,000
Add: Pur. 2,000 (before 30/09)
Pur. 4,000 (after 30/09)
Less: sale 4,000
Cl.Bal. 1,02,000

Unless & Until assets sold are out of new purchased,it is always assumed that assets sold are out of old assets.

In ur case, Cl.Bal. of 1,02,000/- consist of 2000 of new pur before 30/09,new pur after 30/09 & 96000/- from op bal.

So depn wil be charged @ 15% on 96000/- & 2000/- & @ 7.5% on 4000/-.

Hope u r cleared now.
