Mistake in depreciation claimed as per IT Act - How to rectify and claim refund ??


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A company mistakenly deducted the original cost of a sold fixed asset instead of its sale price from the WDV, leading to higher tax payments. They are seeking to rectify this error for AY 22-23 and claim a refund. While section 154 rectification is deemed inapplicable, the advice is to adjust the error in the current year's filing by adding back the wrongly deducted amount to the WDV to claim the correct depreciation.

19 October 2023 In AY 22-23 Co. has sold Fixed assets for Rs.22 lacs ( original cost - 92 lacs). As per income tax ( WDV concept) Rs.22 lacs should have been deducted from WDV ( sale price). However by mistake 92 lacs was deducted which resulted in lower depreciation. We have paid higher tax due to above mistake.

can we file rectification u/s. 154 or revision application and claim refund ?


20 October 2023 Section 154 rectification not applicable for such mistakes.
Adjust it in current year filing.

21 October 2023 how to adjust in current year ? is there any specific section ??

21 October 2023 Add 60 lacs for wrong deduction and claim depreciation.
No section it's depreciation calculation.

23 October 2023 you mean i should add in WDV ? so that we get higher depreciation

23 October 2023 Yes you are right.....
