 If printer cann't be used wthout computer then it will be treated as peripheral and depreciation will be @ 60% but if it can be used seprately then depreciation can be claimed @ 15%.

whether it is charge depn as per office equipment or computer

There are certain type of printers which can be used only as part of computer. Without a computer, printer has no use. There are also other type of printers, ie. (printer + photcpying facility).These type of printers can be used as a photocopying machine. These factors should be considered before deciding on15% or 60% rates.

60 %

both rates i.e. 15% or 60% are acceptable..........

If Computer Printer then 60%  or 10% as Office Equipments.

I do think... it is 60% only....

A computer is integrated by differnt input and output system. Printer being an out put forms a part of computer. Without computer a printer does not have any meaning.

Hence printer can be charged depreciation at 60% along with computer. However UPS is having alternative use of power supply and thus it is not a part of input and output system. thus it should be charged at 15% depreciation.

I agree with As Mr.Roopsh point of view.

Before deciding rate of depreciation rate of printer, we need to check functionally of Printer. Now days, printer are come up with other facility also like scanning, Copier system, etc.

If printer with other facility, we need to classify under office equipment, not under computer

Printer can only be used in conjunction with some computing devices... 15% not feasible for it... 60% should be the rate..........

dear 

it is a queaction of fact that whether a printer is a part of computer or not 

if it will be considered as a part of computer than it will be elligible for 60% dep

otherwise 15%.

in my view and as per IT act computer does not include printer. a printer is a part of computer system which is connected with a computer.

hence a printer is elligible for 15% dep.
