Section 50A refers to Section 48 & 49.
* Accordingly, in case of Long Term Capital Asset(held for more than 3 years), Indexation will be allowed.
* Capital Gain : -------------- It may be noted that to the extent of depreciation claimed the amount realised will be treated as Balancing Charge and will be taxed as Business Income.
Capital Gain arises only in such circumstances where Sales consideration exceeds the Cost of Acquisition (Original Cost and not WDV) *
