Dear Experts and friends,

CBDT issued Notification on 07th Nov, 2016 regarding depreciation rate reduced to 40%.

In that Notification it is mentioned that:

(a) for company incorporated u/s 115BA, Reduced Depreciation rate is applicable wef 1st April 2016,

(b) for other taxpayers, Reduced Depreciation rate is applicable wef 1st April 2017.

 

Now my doubt is : wef 1st April, 2016 and 1st April 2017 mean Assessment years 2016-17 and 2017-18  respectively

OR, Previous year 2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively ?

 

 

Please suggest.
