17 September 2011 It is a practise in India that a company charge depreciation as per the rate prescribed under schedule to companies act. I do not think that it is mandatory to folow that rates only. I think the co n management is free to decide the rate of depreciation to b used considering the nature and use of asset. If the rate used is other than the rate of schedule then the same should be disclosed properly in the notes to account alongwith the justification in suport of your rate used.
