24 August 2011 Respected All,

A co. had a block of Plant & Machinery in the previous financial year of Rs 3367472.00. The co. had acquired a new p & m of Rs 1082588.00 on or before 30th September & gave it on rental basis to an assessee, but depreciation had been charged Rs 505120.00(@15%) on old P&M only no depreciation charged on new p & m why?

Please reply at the earliest.

Thanks.

25 August 2011 for charging depreciation ownership should be of assesee. In this case Assessee has taken machinery on rental basis so he does not own the machine so he can not charge the dep. the Co from machinery is taken on rent will charge dep.
