Hi,

Unabsorbed Depreciation can  be carried forward indefinitely to any number of years. It can also be set off against any head of Income except salary.

It is 100% confirmed.

The wordings of that section clearly says that if there is no sufficient profit, then the amount which cannot be set off can be added to next years Depreciation allowance and if that also cannot be set off, then it is carried forward to subsequent years.

agree with the above and he is 100% correct

Hi Sargun, I clicked on point 20 & read it. It actually explains the position before 1.4.2002. As per the present law, unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward indefinitely(as already explained by Vignesh). Pls read clause 2 of section 32 from the same link before clicking on point 20..that is the clause relevant now.  

Yes... Unabsorbed Dep. can be claimed for infinite period.

Thanks
