This discussion clarifies the tax treatment when an office premise, previously rented out and then sold, is disposed of. The excess received over its written-down value (WDV) is generally considered a short-term capital gain, taxable at applicable slab rates, rather than business profit. The sale proceeds also need to be adjusted against the block of assets for depreciation calculations on the remaining assets.

Assessee is having 2 office premises of which one office is given on rent and other for own business Rented office till Sept 20 was given on rent and in october sold .
My question is Whether excess received on sale value minus wdv will be taxable as business profit ? For calculation of depreciation under income tax whether from block of asset of office premises sale proceeds of office need to be reduced and depreciation on balance will be available ?
