04 June 2010 Profit on destroyed asset will be arise and shown as misll. income.

In Income tax schedule, Plant & Machinery Block will be redcued by 3 Cr.

At the time of calculating of tax liablity, Profit on destroyed asset will be deduct form total profit.

i.e treatment of such entry will be as it profit of sale of asset.

other expert's views are solicited.
