21 January 2014 Hi

It is mandatory under the AS 6 to charge depreciation on fixed assets. Accounting standards are notified under the Companies Accounting Rules 2006 section 211 (3C) and therefore it is mandatory under the companies act. As per AS 6, depreciation is due to efflux of time as well and therefore even if asset is not in use, depreciation is mandatory.

Thx
