Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the accounting and tax treatment for profits made on the sale of fixed assets. Typically, sale proceeds reduce the asset's block value. If a profit arises, it's not immediately accounted for but is recognised as a short-term capital gain when the asset block ceases to exist.

19 July 2025 The total amount is credited to the block of assets, so the profit is not accounted. Whenever block of assets ceases to exist, then the profit is considered as Short term capital Gain.
