Depreciation can be made due to decline in value of asset,Obsolescence,technology upgradation like situation. Because an asset can be considered as used like standby powerunit, standby machinery. These assets may not be used during whole year, but kept ready to use as and when required by the business unit/factory. Depreciation can be provided for not used/unused/idle asset too.
