09 May 2016 1. If damaged machinery is kept 'IDLE' , cannot be depreciated since 'USER TEST' fails.

2. If under repair, can be depreciated at full rate. Inference :- CIT Vs. G.N.Agrawal 75 Taxman 30 (Bom).

09 May 2016 Sir the entire asset has been completely
damaged not in condition to be repair
Hence the entire wdv will be debited in
profit & loss account and while computing
income it has be added back...
However No dep. Is allow if no any other
assets left in the block..

Pls clarify is this correct treatment...
