21 September 2011 My Company is not working since last 4 years,

As the machinery was utilised last years we used to charge depreciation,

but when we business is not running the depreciation is not being charged.

IS IT MANDATORY TO CHARGE DEPRECIATION EVEN IF THE MACHINERY STOPPED BEING UTILISED.

21 September 2011 No it is not mandatory to charge depreciation but however to declare dividend it is must to provide depreciation if any outstanding.

For income tax purpose the depreciation is must to charge for and it will be carry forward as unabsorbed depreciation for long term.
