Quick Summary
If machinery is scrapped shortly after purchase, you need to consider depreciation and potential impairment. Depreciation for the period it was held is generally charged. If the machinery is spoiled, impairment testing is required to write off the loss, comparing the carrying amount to its recoverable amount. While impairment testing is optional under AS, it's mandatory under Ind AS.

No depreciation is charged during held for sale period

What isbscrapped means is it spoiled or obsolete

Spoiled

Then you have to follow the impairment testing and weite of the loss. Carrying amount less accumulated depreciation less impairment charges. In AS impairment test is optional but in indas impairment reciew is mandatory. Xoming to how much depreciation needs to be charged? 1 day depreciation is enough.
