06 January 2016 Hello,

Land in not a Depreciable assets that we know, but so far as Mining and Quarry industries are concern, they are going to loose that part of land after excavation. so can we take depreciation on the land used for mining or quarring?. if so at which rate? Because there is no provision in companies act regarding such.

Thanks in advance...

But is there any chances of issues in income tax scrutiny?

07 January 2016 You are claiming under companies act right.. Under income tax act I don't think u can claim that as expenditure.
