Fixed Assets should be capitalized on the date of Installation.

Can u plz elaborate along with the wordings of AS if possible...

Regards,

Dear,

 

In companies act as per AS-10 & AS-6 depreciation is allowed from the date assets are ready to use  and similarly AS-16 says to capitalize borrowing cost till date the assets are ready to use. We capitalize them on that date. Reason given here is depreciation occurs even with efflux of time so assets can be depreciated between the period  of ready to use & put to use. May be this period can be long

 

As far as income tax is concerned you are allowed depr. from the date put to use


Ask if unclear....

Correct me if you find it wrong...

 

 

Thanks a ton

As per income tax you can take the benifit of dep after put to use it means that uses of assets is start for buisness pupose & you can claim the expenditure as  dep.on it. but ready  to use means that assets is ready for use .but actualy we have not use the assets If we are not use the assets in the Buisness than we can not claim the dep.

Practically, ready -to-use date = put-to-use date=date of installation for Plant & Machineries block of assets.
