20 September 2013 Though JCB has been categorized as an excavator and its main function is removing soil or earth, yet at the same time, JCB’s another function is to carry or transport removed soil and dump it at another site to discharge function like transshipment and loading into another vehicle and therefore, for the purpose of depreciation, JCB can be treated as a motor lorry and it would be eligible for higher depreciation at 40 percent (30% from asst yr 2006-07 and onwards).
