You cannot reduce the Book Value of any Asset but on some specific reason such as theft, damages in flood or fire etc.
The rate and method of calculating Depreciation is different as per Income Tax Rules and as per Company Rules. However, in books and balance sheet depreciation is considered as per Company Act.
