30 May 2015 We have purchased a Fixed Asset on FY 2013-14 for Rs.22000/- ( Laptop ).

In that year it is used for 233 days and depreciation is charged @ 40% for Rs.5618/-.

Now the opening Balance as on 01.04.2014 is Rs. 16382/-

So now as per companies act 2013 what is the correct amount of depreciation to be charges for financial year 2014-15.

30 May 2015 calculate 5% of 22,000 and deduct it from wdv as on 1.4.2015 and divide the balance by life of asset as per sch2 is your dep for 14-15

01 June 2015 I understood the process of Charging Depreciation on existing assets on 01.04.2014 for FY 2014-15.

But how i will charge the depreciation on new acquisitions of Assets on 2014-15 as per companies act 2013.

For Ex-

Original Cost of a Refrigerator is Rs. 13000/- (Office Equipment)

Date of acq. and use - 10/03/2015

Rate of Dep. : 45.07%

Useful Life : 5 Years

Please help.

01 June 2015 The rate stated above by you is under WDV Method. You need to calculate the depreciation @45.07% for 22 days. So there is nothing difficult about it.
