Depreciation rates in case of co-operative banks

CA. Himanshu Verma (Audit Manager) (73 Points)

22 July 2013

Hello all Peers,

I am performing statutory audit of district and state co-operative banks of Uttrakhand. and facing problems in calculation of depreciation. they are charging depreciation at unique rates which i have never seen like 2.5%, 3%, 7.5% etc.

I would like to know is there any rule or guideline issued by RBI / NABARD / Co-operative Society Act/ Banking Regulation Act, with regard to rates of depreciation to be charged for the FY. 2012-13. If yes, please tell me or send me link for that rule/guideline and if not, can I apply Income Tax rates of depreciation for preparing my audit report.

Thanks & Regards
