Dear user,
As per Accounting Standard 6-
Depreciation is a measure of the wearing out, consumption or other loss of value of a depreciable asset arising from use, effluxion of time or obsolescence through technology and market changes.
Hence, Depreciation is required to be charged even on idle assets.Companies Act no where requires to charge depreciation except u/s 205 if you want to declare dividend.
