Dear Suneet and Naina, There is no need to keep two books in case of any assessee. In case of company, we provide depreciation in books as per the companies Act and at the time of computation of total profit of the company as per Income tax, we just add back the depreciation as per companies act and reduce the depreciation as per Income tax Act. Yes, we need to make two different depreciation schdules, one as per companies act and another as per IT Act.

And In case of proprietorship and partnerships, there is no need to follow the Companies Act, so we just provide depreciation as per Income Tax itself in the books, so no need of such type of adjustment at the time making computation of total profit.

The assessee means Income tax payers is at his/her option is free to maintain Fixed assets Accounts on regular basis of accounting method employed by it. Only while computing Income tax you have to apply IT rates of depreciation. The assessee must keep in record the last depreciation chart as per Income tax to get the opening balance of assets as per Income tax. These are not entered in Books of Account means not to be mixed with books of accounts. I hope you get it.
