14 October 2010 Additional Depreciation is available only in the year in which the new plant & machinery is first put to use. As such it is not available in the subsequent year. If not claimed the WDV will be as per the amount of depreciation claimed i.e. without considering the additional depreciation.

19 March 2012 Mandatory.
Reason is as follows:-
Explantion 5 says...... "this subsection"....
The subsection referred therein is 32(1).
Since additional depreciation under sub section (iia) falls under subsection (1),explanation 5 squarely applies to (iia) meaning thereby addtional depreciation is mandatory.
