Dear Sir, As per Note No. 8 of Schedule XIV of Companies Act, 1956, the rate of depreciation is 100% for the assets whose value does not exceed Rs 5000/-, Now my question is If a assets is purchased for Rs 1000 as on 01-03-2012, whether the depreciation shall be Rs 1000 (100% of cost) or proportionate basis on the no. of days say Rs 84 for 31days in the month of march only?
