The above rule is appliable to newly assets purchased not in WDV of assets. WDV means after Depreciation value of assets. Even though assets WDV after depreciation goes below Rs.5,000 then in that case it is not allowed to 100% Depreciation. However you can Impair the assets subject to the AS-28 "Impairment of Assets"
