04 March 2013 Depreciation is reduction in value of asset.

For salaried employees accounting for depreciation does not make any difference in computation of Income for tax purposes.

Normally, assets in personal books are not depreciated. The logic being, you balance sheet will look healthy if you show assets at cost in balance sheet.
