Dear sir,

You made a wrong entry, you should make following entry:

Computer & Printer A/c Dr.

To bank / Cash Cr.

Depriciation will be 60%.

Printer is an asset and printing and stationary is an expense head. You can capitalize printer as asset in the category of computer peripherals and charge 60% dep on that . Entry can be Printer To Cash/bank/creditor

He has not confirmed date of purchase. So we can not give depreciation if it is current day purchase, else can apply. Printer a/c dr To cash&bank a/c dr will be the entry.

Grn is not the criteria for capitalisation at all. Goods purchased under valid tax invoice and put to use is the case then eligible for income tax dep for 60% if purchase before 30 sep or 30% as the case may be.making grn is the good practise but not the basic criteria for eligibility. Refer dep as per income tax . ThNks

Dear Karthik,

GRN entry is required only if you involve stores in it, otherwise you can directly capitalize the same, Its not mendatory to route through the process you are telling about.
