Is it is mandatory to claim additional depreciation u/s 32(1)(iia) of Income tax act 1961 ? Is Explanation 2 to section 32(1) Is applicable to section 32(1)(iia) of Income tax act 1961 ? Please give your views based on recent case laws, judgements, circulars and notifications ? Thanks in advance

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.
