AS suggests all company assets can only be disposed or exchanged for consideration or, when their useful life is over. I’m not sure that anyone can transfer any assets as a gift. 

I think office assets cannot be transferred as gift
Can you please give any reference under income tax act or any other act which restrict such transfer?

Hi, only depreciation and other transactions which give temporary difference is adjusted for tax purpose. When it comes to disposal, the tax is capital gains. But, tax does restrict such transfer because, one can’t claim depreciation and transfer the asset. That is why disposal standards are used. Anything out of this, the transaction is not possible because imagine that your a tax collector, I purchased a big factory, used it for profits, fully claimed depreciation and gifted it. Your at a loss of capital gains and depreciation claims and that is the reason why Standards are mandatory while tax is statutory.

I think it is exempted from capital gains tax.

Last time you mentioned about ltcg on sale I guess. Anyways, a tax liability arises on disposal either it be ltcg or corporate taxes on gains.
