08 August 2013As per Act, Mobile phones are taken in 15% depreciation category which takes much time to write off the entire value. Whereas within 2 years the value of such phone will obviously come down. So in that case, why cant we take it under Computers and Accessories and depreciate @ 60%?

Any ways it has to be capitalised as per the definition of Fixed Asset and Capital Expenditure.

Cell phones are not listed property.
You can deduct or depreciate cell phones under the regular rules for business property. You don't need detailed documentation on usage.
You must use your listed property continuously for more than 50% of the time for business purposes.
