29 June 2009 Hi Anil,
It is important to note how u have filed your earlier returns. Whether you have closed the books of accounts before 5 years & transferred all the assets to capital account or still you are showing the factory land & building to the asset side of business balancesheet even though no business is going on? Have you claimed the depreciation in earlier years? mail me details on ratansharma123@rediffmail.com

29 June 2009 Hi Ratan,

we have claimed depreciation in the earlier years, however, its balance sheet is showing status quo since the date it has closed. Its other proprietory concern is claiming dep. on assets excluding this unit since it is closed.
