Income Tax on Sale of personal Use Car

If a person sell his self used car after 3 years of buying then how we will calculate Income/loss on this transaction.
Can we use depreciation for income/loss calculation.
Example- I bought a car on 01.01.2017 at the cost of Rs. 8,00,000. I sold this on 31.12.2010 at Rs. 5,00,000.

Plz tell how i will calculate income/loss of this transaction and in which head i have to show this transaction in computation of Total Income.

Quick Summary
When you sell a car that you've used personally, you generally don't need to worry about income tax. According to the Income Tax Act 1961, personal-use cars are not considered capital assets. Therefore, any profit made from selling your personal car is not taxable.

Was that car used for personal purpose ???

PERSONAL CAR is not covered in definition of CAPITAL ASSETS - Sec. 2(14) of Income Tax Act 1961 

and any gain on such movable personal assets of assessee is not chargeable to TAX . 

 

NO TAX on personal car .
