Resp Sir i could not understand. Kindly clarify.
what i know is that, at the time of charging depreciation, the amount of depreciation, instead of deducting from Fixed Assets, is credited to Accumulated depreciation and shown in liability. In google, i found that when accumulated depreciation is invested some where it is called as depreciation reserve. It has becomes very complex and i am fully confused on it. Would be grateful, if u could kindly break the concept of depreciation reserve and accumulated depreciation in a simple way.
Thnx and regd

Your understanding of accumulated depreciation is right.
For replacement of the asset after the life of the existing asset funds are earmarked and kept aside for which reserve is created based on replacement cost.
