08 October 2013 A Private Limited Company is charging depreciation as per Income Tax Act, 1961 in its books of accounts since its inception as per policy adopted by the Company.
1. Whether it is mandatory to charge depreciation as per rates of Companies Act or the Company may charge the depreciation as per alternate rates.
2. If mandatory to follow the Companies Act rates, then what are the implications.
3. If no, what are the disclosure requirements in the financial statements of the Company.
