16 September 2009 Depreciation for accounting purpose.

You may charge depreciation for six month for accounting purpose and show the profit under indirect income in tally.

Depreciation under Income Tax Act.

Under Income Tax act, depreciation is allowed WDV of block of assets as at the end of the year.

Block of asset means all assets falling under the same asset class eligible for same rate of depreciation.

WDV as at the end of year = WDV at the begining + addition - sales.

As such, profit / loss on sale of fixed assets does not arise, unless the WDV of the block of asset is reduced to zero.
