For the purpose of control, it is recommended not to write off the assets. If the asset is completely written off, then control over the asset cannot be established. Hence, the ideal practice would be to write down to asset to Re.1 or Rs. 100 till it is held by the business. Once it is sold, scrapped or physically disposed off, it can be written off.

This is how many multi-nationals do their fixed asset accounting.
