02 September 2013 Safar P Ltd engaged in Transportation activity is having 5 Trucks (Fixed Assets) in its own name. The trucks were purchased for Rs 125.00 Lakhs on 25/03/2012. While preparation of Financial Statements for FY 2011-12, depreciation was charged @ 16.21% for 6 days. So an amount of Rs 66540.00 (Rs 33308*5 trucks) was charged to Profit and Loss A/c. now, my question is how to charge the depreciation during 2nd year.
Should it be on Rs 125.00 Lakhs or on Rs 123.33460 Lakhs (12500000.00 - 66540.00) it means Rs 2026250.00 or Rs 2015464.00 which figure is correct.
Kindly explain the benefit of SLM and WDV rate as per Companies Act

02 September 2013 a) 16.21% is the rate under SLM( straight line method).

b) In the 2nd year and onwards depreciation has to be charged on Rs. 125 lakhs at the rate of 16.21%.

c) NESD means 'No Extra Shift Depreciation'.
