(b) a settlement; or
(c) a judicial decision.

(3) The consideration received for an asset treated as disposed of under sub-section (3) [or (3A)] of section 75 shall be the fair market value of the asset determined at the time it is applied to personal use [or discarded or ceased to be used in business, as the case may be].

(4) The consideration received by a scheduled bank, financial institution, modaraba, or leasing company approved by the Commissioner (hereinafter referred to as a “leasing company”) in respect of an asset leased by the company to another person shall be the residual value received by the leasing company on maturity of the lease agreement subject to the condition that the residual value plus the amount realized during the term of the lease towards the cost of the asset is not less than the original cost of the asset.
