According to section 50 of Income tax act if an assessee has sold a capital asset forming part of block of assets on which the depreciation has been allowed under Income Tax Act, the income arising from such capital asset is treated as short term capital gain.
If a part of such capital asset forming part of a block of asset has been sold and after deducting the net consideration received from sale of such asset from the written down value of the block of such asset the written down value comes to NIL then the gain arising shall be treated as short term capital gain and in such case where written down value has become NIL no depreciation shall be available on such block of asset even if some assets are physically left in the block of assets.
