09 March 2015 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.
