dep can be claimed on balance amt of block provided car sold was not the only asset in the block

if it was the only asset in the block then capital loss/gain will come.....

Depreciation on car or any asset is not charged in the year it which it is sold. If there is a balance in the block , depreciation will be charged on the balance amount. If one charges depreciation on a business asset in the year of sale, as a result what will happen: it will give give depreciation at one hand and other hand it will increase profit /reduce loss on sale of that asset. It will have no effect.

As per IT Act no depreciation shall be allowed in the year of sale. However, as per Co Act depreciation upto date of sale shall be available.

No depreciation can be claimed on the car. As per Sec.32 of IT Act, depreciation for a particular F/Y is allowable on the closing WDV of the block after adjusting for all additions and sales during the year.

Hi

No depreciation should be charged on the car for the year in which it is sold,but if it not the only asset in the block then dep should be charged on the remaining block
