I have read and heard that The rates prescribed under India companies act under 1956 for depriciation are bare minimum rates. One can go for higher rates of depriciation also.

Does any conditions are attached in claming higher rates of deprication ?

Is there any case law or judgement of rules which provides for the resonability of higher depriciation?

If reasonable cause is the condition, how a reasonable cause be defined ?

Other attached conditions/informations in this regard.

Please help me out in respect of this query

U/S 205 & 350 there is defined bare minimum depreciation rate for different assets, my question is if we want to depreciate an asset at more than the rate difined under company's act, how can we do so.

I completed Articleship on 21st Nov 2007. Took total of 191 days leave during the three years of articleship. In the meanwhile I had accumulated credit leave of 30 days during the articleship period itself and the balance was agreed to be served by me during the month of December 2007. My boss is agreeable to sign the Form 108 showing 138 days as leave taken (thus resulting in no excess leave) and we want to avoid the prospect of sending Form 107 (Supplementary Articles). I checked with my other CA friends who had completed their articles and they informed me that they had followed the same procedure in their cases too. Just want to check with the Experts as to whether this arrangement can be done so as to avoid the documentation and hassle of Form 107 and then Form 108 after the completion of Excess leave service.Please help soon.

We know that while Housing Loan is preclosed, there would be preclosure interest charges @ some% of the principal oustanding on the date of pre-closure.

My query is that whether the same can be treated as Interest under House property in the year of sale of house property as it is necessarily a interest cost on the housing loan & deductible under Sec 24.

If YES, please confirm as to whether there are any decided cases on this?

IF NO, Please confirm, whether it can be treated as COST OF TRANSFER of the capital asset (house property) and be taken AS DEDUCTION in computing CAPITAL GAIN
