08 July 2011 all rate is right except software

Software is an intangible asset and for depreciation on the same you will have to refer AS - 26 on intangible assets and the same should ideally be written off over a period of 5 years but not more than 10 years as per the standard

17 July 2011 I think the students should also make some effort to open the books given by the institute or they can search even on the internet.

17 July 2011 i agree with you abhishek, but you should understand that CA is course which requires regular updation. the rates i mentioned above were taken from the institute book only and i just wanted to confirm them, which is why i posted this question in the first place.
my main doubt was over office equipments and software. Software i know is under as26 so no problem there. office equiments is where i am not clear.
