In the above cases cited, cartridge or antivirus software are generally not used for more than one year as the antivirus software are regularly updated. Thus they are treated as consumables.
Remaining can be treated as computers and data processing units. The depreciation in this case is based on life of asset as per Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013. The life is prescribed as 3 years and 6 years.
