04 January 2011 Regarding the levy of depreciation, note 4 to schedule XIV of the companies act,1956 may be referred to. Since computer is not used even for a single day, it can said that,as per the referred note,the asset is discarded meaning thereby levy of depreciation is not required since pro rata basis can't be applied to, being kept idle for the entire year.
