As balance sheet for shareholder prepared on the basis of Schedules to Companies Act 2013 you can take extended life of an asset (reasonably), which results to lower amount of depreciation as per Companies Act 2013.
Although as per Income tax Act it is mandatory to charge depreciation on assets at a fixed rate on WDV method leaves no room for this.
Note: - The effect on Deferred Tax recognition shall also be taken into consideration.

Legally u cannot do anything to convert such loss into profit... what can be done is file ITR as per the provisions... Prepare operating cash flow statement and get it certified by a CA... Submit that statement along with ITR...
