..... d along with all the rights, privileges etc. through composite agreement. The deposits have been paid to MIDC for various purposes in connection with lease of land and therefore, these form part parcel of the land shed. Since, the rights have been transferred, these would also stand transferred to the assignee. This being so, there is no reason as to why the deduction of the same is not available to the assessee while computing the capital gains - we direct Ld. AO to allow the deduction of the same.

..... s cost of improvement of such capital asset. 3. Learned CIT (Appeals) having held that written down value (WDV) of ₹ 4,78,083/- of fixed assets discarded and written off in books is not deductible while computing capital gains as it does not form part of cost of acquisition or cost of improvement of assets sold and having further observed that deduction of WDV of these assets is allowable u/s 32(i)(iii) of the I.T.Act, learned CIT (Appeals) ought to have allowed the same u/s 32(i)(iii) because the appellant is entitled to the same and it was also claimed before CIT (Appeals). 4.

So far as the write-off of deposits is concerned, we find that the rights in land and shed have been assigned along with all the rights, privileges etc. through composite agreement. The deposits have been paid to MIDC for various purposes in connection with lease of land and therefore, these form part parcel of the land shed.
