Short Term Capital Gains/Loss would be Sale value of Rs, 11lacs – Original Cost of Acquisition of the Asset by the firm.
This is as per Section 49(1)(iii)(a) of the I-T Act which says that cost of the asset would be cost to the previous owner by succession. In this case the firm is being succeeded by the pvt ltd. Co, so cost of the asset to the firm would be the cost of acquisition for computing of CG in the hands of the pvt ltd co.
I don’t think that any case law would be required for this, as the section itself explains the above. However if anyone can provide with the case law it would be helpful.
