But in the last year 12-13 we had charged the depreciation on it. while recovering the amount we had not deducted depreciation amount on that. now our accumulated depreciation lying in the liability side of balance sheet. so how do I square up that accumulated depreciation amount?

It is one type of sale of camara. Therefore, the difference between amount received and WDV as on 31.03.2013 is profit and you have to book the profit in the books of account.

Thanks I got your point. But before booking the profit, Can I charge depreciation in 13-14 till camera misplaced means till December? Thereafter I will book difference amount as profit.
