05 February 2016 1. Depreciation is calculated on block of assets.
2. New Appendix I of Rule 5 specifies the block of assets and depreciation rate for each block
3. A total of 4 blocks have been specified for tangible assets
4. All assets falling within a block or sub-block are to be treated as one block. For eg. Plant A, Plant B and Plant C are depreciated at 15%. So they will be combined and will form one block. Similarly Car 1, Car 2 & Car 3 are depreciated @ 15%. So they will be combined and will form one block. Similarly for other assets.

05 February 2016 Even one asset can constitute a block of asset. Accordingly plant will be first block and computer will be second block.
So you will have 2 blocks for Income Tax purpose.
