Sub Clause (2) of clause (iii) of Section 32(1) says that "sold" includes a transfer by way of exchange or...." . The old asset will be deemed as sold and the moneys payable in this case will be the WDV of it , provided any difference amount is not being considered. . The new exchanged asset will be added to the block, at the WDV of the old and the old asset will be deleted from the WDV. . The value shown will not differ in case where no difference amount is there. . However, the most important issue will be deprection of less than 180 days. In this case if the exchanged (new) asset has been used for less than 180 days, Dep. at Half the Rate can be claimed. .
