Hi Ashutosh,

Assuming that depreciation have been booked as expenses and not transferred as provision. The value of Asset on the day of sale is Rs. 60,000.00 and the sale proceeds is Rs. 65,000.00 so the entity have made a profit of Rs,. 5000.

The Entry would be

Bank A/c dr. 65000

To Asset A/c 60000

To Profit on Sale of Asset 5000

Thanks

it depends on the situation , whether the asset sold belongs to the block of assets or individual asset, if asset is sold sold from block of assets, then dont book profit upto the WDV of the block of assets.

but in case of individual asset you can book profit, and the entry will be

Bank -Dr 65k

to asset 60k

to profit 05k
