20 September 2018 As per Company Act provisions for Depreciation, you need to maintain 5% of assets value till the disposal or sale of assets. After completion of assets useful life you need to maintain 5% value of assets in balance sheet. For example If you Purchased Furniture & Fixtures on 01/07/2007 at Rs. 100000/-. Useful life of Furniture & Fixture is 10 years. You need to maintain 5% of cost i.e 5000 till you use the assets. No depreciation charged on 5% amount.
