However, for AY 17-18 40% rate is only for cases covered u/s 115BA i.e for domestic companies. Further details given below: As per notification no. 103/2016: (a) In rule 5, the following proviso shall be inserted w.e.f. 1-4-16 (i.e. AY 17-18): Provided that in case of a domestic company which has exercised option u/s 115BA (4), the allowance u/s 32 (1) (ii) in respect of depreciation of any block of assets entitled to more than 40% shall be restricted to 40% on the WDV of such block of assets.

Further, provisions to disclose depreciation at higher rate is given ITR forms or departments java/excel utility of AY 2017-18. You can also refer Taxmann ready reckoner in this regard. Therefore, depreciation is not restricted to 40% for AY 2017-18 except cases covered u/s 115BA. As such winman has given correct rate. Please correct your reply.
