No, all three will not form part of DTA/DTL as per AS22 accounting for taxes on income as all three events fails to satisfy definition of timing difference.

What is timing difference?
Ans.differences originate in one period and capable of reversal in the subsequent periods.

Permenant difference do not result in DTA/DTL.

Thanks & regards

17 June 2013 If Fixed Assets being sold are part of block and the block still exists, it would lead to timing difference as Capital Gains would be taxed only when the block ceases to exist or the WDV becomes Zero.
