Thank you Seetharaman, but on what basis depreciation will be calculated, as per Companies Act 2013 or Companies Act 1956? Should it be retrospectively as per the new act or the carrying amount as on 01/04/2014 as per the old act be taken?

Depreciation has to be calculated as per Companies Act 2013. Carrying amount as on 01/04/2014 is to be taken. carrying cost is to be depreciated in remaining useful life of an asset as per Schedule II, and where remaining useful life is Nil, carrying cost (after retaining residual value) is to be recognized in opening balance of retained earnings.
