Unabsorbed depreciation is that amount of unutilised depreciation which the assessee will not be able to claim as an expense in his income tax returns due to lack of sufficient profit in the profit & loss account. This unabsorbed amount can be set-off against other heads of income and is carried forward for adjustments in the forthcoming years. It can be carried forward perpetually for any number of years until the excess amount is fully adjusted.
