Dear All,

I have a query regarding the depreciation rates as per Companies Act 2013 as follows.

1. Under the heading Plant & Machinery point b(VI)there is no specific rate mentioned for Solar power plant. So which rates should be considered?

2. If we consider the rate mentioned in point a(i) other than continuous process plant it is 6.33% and plant life assumed is 15 yrs whereas the actual life of solar power plant in 25 yrs.

3. The plant life assumed by the Companies Act 2013 is different from the actual life given by manufacturer as given below.

a. Solar - As per Co. Act: 15 yrs
As per Mfg : 25 yrs

b. Wind - As per Co. Act : 22 yrs
As per Mfg : 20 yrs

c. Hydro - As per Co. Act : 40 yrs
As per Mfg : 35 yrs

So can we consider the depreciation rates as per the Companies Act 2013 given the difference in the plant life?

Hi i was working with a MNC bank where my PF account was running for less than 5 yrs. Now i am working abroad with another company. Now I am am aware that if i withdraw the PF amount my previous employer (the MNC bank) would deduct tax (TDS) @ 30%. The bank's PF trust would keep the account open and pay interest for 6 months and within that time i am suppose to withdraw the PF or instruct them to transfer to the new employer's PF trust.

What should i do? I can't transfer PF as i am working abroad and i can't withdraw as i would pay TDS. How do i save tax. I don't need the PF money now.

Can I,

1. Withdraw the PF after TDS @ 30% and then claim for refund of the 30% deducted along with my IT filling next year?

2. Transfer the PF money to PPF account and hence escape the TDS and still enjoy receiving the interest? Please help. thanks,
