02 July 2013Can anybody suggest how to rectify wrong rate of depreciation charged by mistake under Companies Act. To be more specific Company follows SLM Method & they have charged Furniture rate 6.33% instead of office equipment rate of 7.07 to OFFICE EQUIPMENT right from the inception of Company. Now Company wants to rectify & adopt correct rate 7.07 as per Schedule VI.
Please suggest impact of it in books & in income tax.
