Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that you cannot simply choose not to claim depreciation on fixed assets when filing your ITR-5. According to Section 32 of the Income Tax Act, depreciation is an allowable deduction if the asset is used exclusively for business purposes and owned by the assessee. Furthermore, accounting standards mandate depreciation in the books of accounts for non-corporate entities, making it a compulsory entry.
No, you can not skip depreciation, as per section 32 of the income tax Act and it is allowable deduction if asset is used exclusively used for business purpose , Also depreciation is mandatory as per accounting standards 10 (PPE) in the books of accounts, which is applicable to non corporate entities, so as per my opinion file ITR5 as per the Income tax law .
Please correct deduction meaning ( mistake due to oversight ), it's allowable expenses while calculating taxable profit. If the asset is exclusively for business purpose.
You cannot skip or opt-out of depreciation under the Income Tax Act. Even if an assessee fails to claim it explicitly, the law mandates that the Written Down Value (WDV) of the asset block will still be reduced by the prescribed depreciation amount for future years.
