I have a query regarding Depreciation calculation , when an Assesse purchased an WDV Machinery used by previous Assess e, for 9 years , suppose its life span of machinery is 10 years , can the assess e use the WDV machinery for more than 10 years and claim depreciation as the sec 32 of IT act 1961,

You are talking about straight line method perhaps. . Depreciation claimed for the purpose of Income Tax may be different then the amount of Depreciation written off in the books. In case , as per Income Tax you can claim depreciation .....on the WDV as per Income Tax Act. . If after 9 years WDV of Machinery is 1000. It has been sold by X to Y for Rs. 5000. Y can claim depreciation on Rs. 5000/. ( X can claim depreciation on Rs 1000/ if he repurchases the Machine from Y for Rs. 7500/-)
