As per Schedule II to CA 2013, Air Conditioner should be classified as Office Equipment or Plant & Machinery. If PM will it be in the useful life of 15 years category. But AC with 15 years -- is it a reasonable useful life coverage.
Under old regime, depreciation rate on AC classified under PM was 13.91%.

Hi,
Air Conditioner is generally classified as Electrical Installations and Equipment which has a useful life of 10 years which is a fair estimate of the life of an AC in common parlance.
| Particlulars as per Companies Act 2013 | Life | SLM | WDV |
| (XIV) Electrical Installations and Equipment [NESD] | 10 | 9.50% | 25.89% |
What is now the depreciation value of Air Conditioners?
The depreciation value of Air Conditioners is 15%
Hope it helps!
When an air-conditioner is utilized for business purposes and falls within a block of assets, it is subject to a depreciation rate of 15%.
