16 July 2014 simply you have to revise ur net block as on 01.04.2014.
for eg you having a machine of worth 100000 which was capitalized on 01.04.2013 SLM rate of dep was 4.75%. it means the useful life was 20 years.
as per revised schedule useful life is 15 years.
as per earlier law you have to depreciate machinery 4750 Rs per year so as on 01.04.2014 your net block is 95250, out of which 90250 you have to charge in depreciation in next 14 years as per revised company law.
