04 August 2016 You can treat it as receipt towards disposal of the fixed asset if you are no longer going to claim the fixed asset and/or the other company is no longer going to claim the security deposit.

If you have claimed depreciation, the difference in value will be the profit/loss from disposal.

05 August 2016 Thanks, you mean to say that the receipt is taxable as Short term capital gain between the differences of receipt amount WDV amount.

Thanks once again
