Yes sir i am totally agree but in case if any one who is not required to compute tthe income as per income tax (earing Exempt Income) enters into taxable business and he has revalued his Business Assets in pevious years then what will be the WDV in case he enters into taxability

Pls read explanation 7 to section 43(6).
For the purposes of this clause, where the income of an assessee is derived, in part from agriculture and in part from business chargeable to income-tax under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession", for computing the written down value of assets acquired before the previous year, the total amount of depreciation shall be computed as if the entire income is derived from the business of the assessee under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession" and the depreciation so computed shall be deemed to be the depreciation actually allowed under this Act. Accordingly, the depreciation will be deductted as if it is actually allowed and no effect will be given to revaluation.

Even if you dont have any business income then also depreciation debited to profit & loss a/c will be deemed to be actually allowed. now onwards you will get depreciation on WDV so arrived at.
