19 May 2014 Yes Depreciation is must on all of the Assets, if if later story that the business is closed or not.

19 May 2014 once you transfer assets from the books of business to the proprietor, depreciation need not be provided. alternatively, even if you continue showing the same as business assets, the unabsorbed depreciation will only keep piling up as it cannot be set off against salary income.


20 May 2014 sir is there any Legal provision that if the assets is transferred from proprietorship business to the proprietor ..on which as u said that depreciation should not be charged

20 May 2014 it is an accounting entry...not that you have to legally transfer assets. if the asset is not being used for business, depreciation should anyways not be provided. further given that you are not continuing any business, even if you provide for depreciation, you wont be able to set-off the loss against salary.
