O R D E R Manoj Kumar Aggarwal (Accountant Member) 1. Aforesaid appeal by assessee for Assessment Year (AY) 2019-20 arises out of the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), National Faceless Appeal Centre (NFAC), Delhi [CIT(A)] dated 25-01-2023 in the matter of an intimation issued by Centralized Processing Centre u/s. 143(1) of the Act on 04-05-2020. Though the assessee has raised multiple grounds of appeal

, however, the only ground urged before us is ground no.6 wherein the assessee is aggrieved by addition of an amount of Rs.8.69 Lacs to its income which represent profit on sale of car. This addition has been made by CPC u/s 143(1).

2. The material facts are that the assessee sold two cars during the year and credited the profit arising there-from in the Profit & Loss Account. However, since this car was forming part of block of asset eligible for depreciation, the resultant sale consideration was reduced from the block of asset and the depreciation was claimed on the balance amount. On the basis of these facts, the assessee submitted that profit on sale of car could not be considered as its income. However, Ld. CIT(A) rejected the same against which the assessee is in further appeal before us.

3. Upon perusal of computation of income and depreciation chart as placed on record, it could be seen that the two cars forms part of larger block of asset which is eligible for depreciation. The sale consideration of Rs.17.77 Lacs has been reduced from the block and depreciation has been claimed only on the net value which is in consonance with the provisions of the act. In such a case, profit on sale of car could not be treated as assessee’s income. By deleting the impugned addition, we allow this ground of appeal.

4. The appeal stand partly allowed. Order pronounced on 05th October, 2023. (V.
