23 May 2012 But due to this the Entire block of assets will become Zero. Then Also the company has to do the Retrospective effect. Company has a opinion that the Block will Become Zero if Assets Depreciated retrospectively.

23 May 2012 There is no block system in companies act.
Even if the depreciation with retro effect drastically reduces the net amount of assets. you will have to do it with retro effect.
