if the query is with reference to income tax, then the depreciation has to be charged as long as the asset is kept ready for use regardless of it being actually used.
secondly, depreciation has nothing to do with profitability or otherwise of the company. it has to be charged even if company has incurred loss. if it is not charged and the return is filed accordingly, then AO calculates depreciation and loss thereafter.
