You can charge it to Profit & Loss account as prior period expenditure

depreciation diff is same 14-15 ..15-16..16-17... so I am thinking to adjust with reserves and surplus so that current year profit will not get effected PLEASE CORRECT ME

No, you have to root it through PNL and psecify same in Notes so that its clear that profit is affected due to prior period depreciation

if i do that Current profit will change to loss..and what will be the entry?

Ya its okay of current profit turns to Loss, you have to follow companies act though.

In income tax computation you can subtract companies act depreciation and charge income tax depreciation and get back profit on which tax will be calculated

Entry will be as usual

Depreciation account debit to those assets credit from which you are deducting depreciation

In audit report prior preiod item needs to be mentioned
