15 September 2012 Additional depreciation is allowed only in the year of purchase of plant and machinery, used for production.
If it would be allowed in subsequent years also it wont be called ADDITIONAL depreciation but depreciation.

15 September 2012 Additional depreciation is that which is allowed over and above regular depreciation. It is allowed only in the first year of purchase. Lawmakers felt that this should be allowed only in the first year, otherwise revenue will suffer. This is provided in the law and thus can't be argued.
