Capital Reserve means resource created by accumulated capital surplus (not revenue surplus)of a firm such as upward revaluation of its assets to show at their current market value after appreciation,profit on issue of forfeited shares etc. Allocating such sums to capital reserve means they are permenently invested and will not be paid as dividends.
Profit/ loss on sale of assets, investments, property will go to P&L a/c but not to Capital Reserve.

By crediting the profits gained on sale of asset,it will be reflect as revenue earnings instead of capital earnings & automatically, due to this there may be a possibility that the company can't bifurcate which is revenue profit & capital profit. This problem arises during distribution of dividends as most of the companies merge their revenue & capital profit together.
By crediting the capital profits to capital reserve,the company can bifurcate between revenue & capital earnings.
