Depreciation on lifts is debated. Some treat lifts as plant and machinery at 15 percent, while others classify them as part of building at 10 percent since they are integral and cannot be removed without damage.

thanks sir for your response, but some persons replied that lifts are a part of building, is there anything in writing somewhere about classification of lifts.
Lift Elevators form part of Building and can not be removed without dimolishing the building. Accrodingly, rate applicable to building i.e @10% will be charged.
