WDV is better than SLM as it atleast accounts for the fact that utility of an asset reduces over time. That helps companies to reflect use of assets in profit and loss a/c

since in slm a fix rate is applied and u cannot determine that exactly that rate only the asset is being deleted in its value,

in company act both depreciation method is allowed.
under SLM assets value will get NIL after the years. but under WDV method assets value will not get NIL .
if you follow WDV it is same method as Income tax act.

both methods are allowed by Company law.
both's final destination also same.
in SLM your depreciation amount is fixed till useful life of ur asset, in WDV it will go down gradually.
