Hi,

The accounting treatment would be(As per income tax act)

Cash/Bank A/c.........Dr   27,000

      To Fixed Asset                       11,000

       To STCG                               16,000  

The tax treatment would be to show 16,000 as STCG and not to take any depreciation on the sold asset for the current year...........

If there are other assets in that block, what should be the accounting treatment for the same?

If there are other assets in the block there may be two situation 

1.the wdv of the entire block is less than 27,000(sale value received )

eg:-wdv is 24,000 

cash/bank a/c ........Dr.    27,000

    To     Fixed/ asset a/c.                  24,000

    To      STCG a/c.                             3,000

2.the wdv is more than the sale value

eg:-wdv is 30,000

cash/bank a/c.......Dr 27,000

        To Fixed assets.     27,000

that means there would no STCG In 2nd situation
