28 July 2010 Can we claim depreciation at the rates lesser than those specified in the Income Tax Act ?

28 July 2010 yes

28 July 2010 If depreciation cannot be fully claimed in a particular year for want of profits, the un-absorbed depreciation can be carried forward for any number of succeeding assessment years. [section 32(2)].

Depreciation compulsory – As per Explanation 5 to section 32(1)(ii), inserted w.e.f. 11.5.2001, depreciation is compulsory in computing total income even if assessee had not claimed the same. This amendment applies to AY 2002-03 onwards. [In CIT v. Mahendra Mills (2000) 2 SCALE 384 = AIR 2000 SC 1960 = 243 ITR 56 = (2000) 109 Taxman 225 (SC), it was held that assessee has option to claim or not to claim depreciation. The depreciation cannot be thrust upon him. Now, this judgement is ineffective from AY 2002-03]
