01 October 2008 For FY 2000-01 (AY 2001-02), the carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation was restricted to 8 years. A Company X has an unabsorbed depreciation of Rs 2 cr for FY 2000-01 which is supposed to lapse in FY 2008-09.

Now I have received an opinion that such unabosorbed depreciation for FY 2000-01 would not lapse since the law has been changed in the meantime restoring the earlier unlimited carry forward of Tax depreciation. Is this opinion okay?

Thanks, S S Roy
