07 September 2010 For accounting purpose,the firm can charge depreciation @ 10 % in the cited issue. But charginging of depreciation is mandatory as per Income tax Act,1961, and for tax purpose the partnership firm has to necessarily follow the rates prescribed in the Income Tax Rules,1962. As far as form 3CD is concerned, the tax auditor has to satisy himself that the assessee has complied with the accounting standards issued by the ICAI. However for the purpose of clause 14(d) the tax auditor has to compute the depreciation allowable under the Income tax Act,1961 and disclose it under that sub clause.
