To Dhirajlal Sir,

Thanks a lot for your valued opinion.

Yes i got you all. AS standard, i didn't go through it completely or kissed this part. But in Indas, the car will be measured at lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. The carrying amount cannot have depreciation because it will be stopped for the period you've held the car for sale. The loss will be directly recognised here as well and no depreciation
