Up to assessment year 1996-97, unabsorbed depreciation was considered as the depreciation allowance of the succeeding year(s) and, thus, had an indefinite life for set-off against any head of income.
From assessment year 1997-98 to 2001-02 ('intervening period'), the law was amended and unabsorbed depreciation of a particular year was permitted to be carried forward for a period of eight years only, for a set-off against profits and gains of business or profession.
The law existing prior to the intervening period was reinstated with effect from assessment year 2002-03.
