as per Schedule XIV: Notwithstanding anything mentioned in this Schedule, depreciation on assets, whose actual cost does not exceed Rs. 5,000 shall be provided depreciation @ 100%.
Provided that where the aggregate actual cost of individual items of plant and machinery costing Rs. 5,000 or less constitutes more than 10% of the total actual cost of plant and machinery, rates of depreciation applicable to such item shall be the rates as specified in Item 11 of the Schedule.
So, you have to see each and every individual item as a separate item and can charge 100% depreciation, if the cost of that item is below Rs.5000/-
