According to Income Tax Act,1961 depreciation is calculated for the full six months if the asset is purchased after 1st of october in the respective financial year.
But due to that the expenses of that F.Y. will increase and the net profit will get reduced & that will indirectly reduce our tax liability.
so that will cause a loss to our ITO. Why they have kept such a rule? i feel method of calculating depreciation according to Company's Act is more appropriate.
Reply if anybody knows why such a method is adopted by the Income Tax Act.
