This discussion clarifies whether individuals can claim depreciation on personal assets such as air conditioners and washing machines when preparing their balance sheet, especially if their income is solely from interest or dividends. The consensus is that depreciation is not permitted for personal assets in this context, and therefore, there is no practical benefit to accounting for it.
Is there any point in Depreciating Assets like Air Conditioner, Washing Machines etc. whilst preparing the Balance Sheet of an Individual who has now income from interest/dividend on FD, mutual funds etc?
