If the balance is still lying after reducing sale price from the block value, then the balance is depreciated as usual.
Then where does the question of Short term capital gain arise if the block exists? Short term capital gain will arise only if the entire asset in that black is sold or the sale value exceeds the sum of opening WDV and additions during the year otherwise, sale of assets will reduce your block value thereby reducing depreciation claim. Hence sale of a depreciable asset need not always result in Short term capital gain.
