It is mandatory to provide depreciation as per Companies Act 2013. The 2013 Act states that Schedule II will be applicable as follows: • For a prescribed class of companies (whose financial statements are required to comply with accounting standards prescribed under the 2013 Act), the useful lives should normally be in accordance with the Schedule. However, if a prescribed company uses a different useful life, it should disclose a justification for doing so; • For other companies, the useful life and the residual value applied should not be higher than that prescribed.
Non compliance will lead to auditors qualification.
