Short term capital asset


This query is : Resolved 

30 January 2015 Any asset on which depreciation is claimed by the assessee under the Income-tax Act shall always be a short term capital asset irrespective of period held. whats the logic behind it ??

31 January 2015 Friend,

Nobody can challenge the wisdom of lawmakers in making of any particular provision. Law and logic do not always go in one direction.

Still the obvious logic is that one cannot take double deduction on same asset. Once depreciation is allowed then the assessee cannot be allowed to claim indexation on same asset by treating it a long term capital asset as it will result in double advantage to the assessee.

31 January 2015 yes it is short term capital gain.
