Under Income tax the loss on plant and machinery is to be based on Block of assets.If in the block whole of the assets is sold the net difference should be Short Term profit/Loss.If the Assset remains unsold in the block and if the net amount is positive then the depreciation should be allowable on balance amount.If it results in negative amount then the amount should be treated as short term capital gains.

In siple langauge, write down asset on book value from balance sheet and recognise loss in P&L A/c and this loss is tax deductable.
