Hi
Depreciation rates as per companies Act are only indicative and you cant charge depreciation lesser then the rates specified in the schedule but there is no restriction on charging depreciation at higher rates.
So if useful life of the Assets is lesser then what specified in the schedule then depreciation should be charged at higher rates.

Yes. You can claim higher rate of Depreciation provided that there is some basis of charging higher depreciation which is approved by the Managment. You can charge depreciation at a rate which is less than the rate of depreciation as mentioned in the Schedule.
Any change in rate of depreciation should be brought to the Notice of your Statutory Auditor.
