Account department is incorrect. Assets should be capitalised, when it is actually put to use not from the date when company received the certificate of put to use. comapany did not provided depreciation for one month( from 1 march to 31st March 2011.. so here AS -5 applicable ... for one month deprecation should be provided on books of account as prior period item ok............
