BROTHER IT WILL BE TREATED AS SHORT TERM CAPITAL LOSS PROVIDED THE BLOCK IS NIL. YOU CAN'T CLIAM AS BUSINESS LOSS..

HI Lucky,

If Business Asset -

Fixed Asset -  Treatment under Capital Gain u/s 50, provided no other assets are there in the same Block

 - Sale price will be reduced from the WDV if there are other assets in the same block (i:e cars) provided the resultant  WDV is +ve

Stock in Trade -  Ordinary transaction of Sale of Good.

If Personal Asset -

Capital gain shall NOT be computed since it will be treated as sale of a personal effect, which is outside the definition of CAPITAL ASSET
