When rent received is shown as business income then how depreciation is not charged on the said building. The same should have been charged and the same would have been taxed as STCG and the sale consideration will be the market value of the property as on the date of dissolution.

However in your case since u have not claimed depreciation and if the same is accepted by the A. O. then the transfer of property on dissolution will be taxed as LTCG is held for more than 3 years and STCG of less than 3 years and the tax will have to paid on sale consideration which will be the market value of the property less the indexed cost of acquistion.
