Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to determine the opening balance for a second-hand car purchased before the business started. The consensus suggests calculating the revised book value as of the business's commencement date (August 2023) and applying the appropriate depreciation rate, likely 15% under the WDV method, for the car used in the business.

Take book value. Else apply WDV on 480000/- to arrive at WDV as on 31.03.2023
Sir,
Can you guide me.

I have small Capital Gain from Mutual funds Rs. 220 and some Capital Gain from stocks RS. 499 So while filling ITR2 schdlude 111A I need to add Rs. 220+499 and put the value of under Full value of Consideration. or need to show separately
You may combine it . Sale value of both together may be taken
Thank you Eswar Reddy Sir,
Car and mutual fund are not same.

Hi Rehman

If the Car is used for business purpose, You need to calculate revised book value of car as on Aug-23. Rate of depreciation you can consider is 15% under WDV Method.

For depreciation rates, refer III. MACHINERY AND PLANT category in below link:
