AA-54-Deprecition of Previous Years Not Charged.

699 views 13 replies
Hi All Respected Members,

Please educate me if any business did not charged depreciation on their Assets in previous 2 or 3 years (due to have less competency) and now they wanted to record or depreciate it, what will be the best procedure to record it ?

Do they have to calculate each year depreciation (including current year depreciation) as per scheduled rate and then reduce it from current Assets value

or

they can't take precious depreciation and they have to only calculate and reduce current fiscal year depreciation from their Assets ?

Thanksin advance for your precious time and efforts to reply this query.

Just check in shedule II that , If you not depreciated an Asset , then can you transfer depreciation to Accumulated Depreciation , if yes then you should have pass the following entries.

1st year

Depreciation A/c Dr
To Accumulated Depreciation A/c Cr
( Transfer to Accumulated Depreciation A/c )

2 nd year

Depreciation A/c Dr
To Accumulated Depreciation A/c Cr
( transfer entry)

3 rd year when you charged depreciation

Accumulated Depreciation A/c Dr
Depreciation A/c Dr
To Asset. A/c Cr
( Accumulated Depreciation & Depreciation charged)

But above entries if it is as per  schedule II of the companies Act , you should have pass above entries in the past year.

When Asset was purchase ? what is an Asset  ? , Have you taken  input tax credit ? As per section 16(3) of the CGST Act  ,you can not claim Depreciation on tax Component  if you have taken  ITC  , so you  have to consider all  these things . 

Take more Opinion  on this

Dear Veenet Monga Sir,

Dear My videos.

you Cab claim previous years depericatio but in future may be case open so have to face difficulties.
Dear Mr. Sandeep Jain,

Thanks for your reply.

Suppose, if case will be opened, can't we justify them because of some reasons (Incompetent Accountant, lack of knowledge), we could not claim it previous years ?

If we see, we are doing right thing. we are not cheating as well as we are not doing fraud.

Whats your opinion?

Respected Mr. Sandeep Jain, 

Your kind response awaited on above post.

Please respond at your earliest.
