Depreciation

Yes you can claim higher amount of depreciation .

However, there must be some basis on why you are charging excess depreciation.

Hi
Depreciation rates as per companies Act are only indicative and you cant charge depreciation lesser then the rates specified in the schedule but there is no restriction on charging depreciation at higher rates.

So if useful life of the Assets is lesser then what specified in the schedule then depreciation should be charged at higher rates.

the answer is no you cannot claim higher rate of depreciation as per comp act....

agree with Mr. Rajesh

You cannot claim depreciation higher than mentioned in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act.

Thank you members for your replies...

Dear Ketan,

Now, what other grounds you have to charge excess depreciation - war/ act of God.

Yes, a company can claim higher rate of depreciation. The rates given in sch.XIV are minimum rates.

I agree with praveen and sanket.

Yes. You can claim higher rate of Depreciation provided that there is some basis of charging higher depreciation which is approved by the Managment. You can charge depreciation at a rate which is less than the rate of depreciation as mentioned in the Schedule.

Any change in rate of depreciation should be brought to the Notice of your Statutory Auditor.

yes you can claim higher rate of depreciation provided there is some basis for it.
