The IT Act provides for 60% depreciation on computers, but the word computer has not been defined. My question is, whether computer accessaries, like printers/scanner/UPS etc. should be debited to computer A/c to get benefit of 60% Depn. or it should be classified under Office equipments (eligible for 15% Depn.) Further, will it make any difference if these items are purchased along with computer or bought ubsequently/separately.

Yes depreciation of 60% can be claimed even on computer accessories(Printer, Scanner, UPS. Etc). It should classified under the head Computers.
