Hi Sneha,
First of all, the rates given in Schedule Vi are Minimum rates... The company can provide Higher rates than rates given in Sch- VI but not lower rates.
Present case which you quoted, is an example of non compliance with Sch-VI. So, what you can can do is make sure that company provides depreciation in books, as per rates prescribed and not lower for each & every class of assets...
