Disallowance on account of depreciation on the amount written...

Disallowance on account of depreciation on the amount written back from Capital Reserve - Determination of Cost of capital assets u/s 43(6) - The waiver of loan in the earlier year has no impact either on the actual cost u/s 43(1) or the w.d.v. u/s 43(6) for the year under consideration and further section 2(24)(xviii) also does not envelope such waiver within the ambit of `income’ for the extant year. In that view of the matter, depreciation has to be allowed on the w.d.v. of the block of Machinery at the gross value without reducing the waiver of loan therefrom. Ex consequenti, disallowance of depreciation cannot stand and is hereby deleted. - AT
