If the block of assets ceases to exist and the if the sale price exceeds the Original cost of asset then the situation will be:
1. The profit in excess of original cost will be [b]short term capital g[/b]ains, as the asset is depreciated and the difference between the original cost and the WDV will be treated as balancing charge u/s 41.
If the block of assets ceases to exist and the if the sale price exceeds the WDV but not the original cost of asset then the situation will be:
