b) In respect of properties other than the old properties replaced pursuant to clause (a), if any value remains by subtracting depreciation deduction until the income year when transfer takes place from the cost of those properties at the time when the entity transfers such a project to Government of Nepal, the entity may deduct such a remaining value as expenses.
