As per Schedule II to CA 2013, Air Conditioner should be classified as Office Equipment or Plant & Machinery. If PM will it be in the useful life of 15 years category. But AC with 15 years -- is it a reasonable useful life coverage.
Under old regime, depreciation rate on AC classified under PM was 13.91%.

Hi,
Air Conditioner is generally classified as Electrical Installations and Equipment which has a useful life of 10 years which is a fair estimate of the life of an AC in common parlance.
