Asset purchased and put into use for less than 180 days. So I claimed depreciation @ 50%. I have a doubt regarding the balance 50%

Let’s break down the depreciation calculation for your laptop:

Initial Cost of Laptop: Rs 10,000
Depreciation Rate: 20% (as you mentioned)
Depreciable Amount: Rs 10,000 - Rs 2,000 (claimed in FY 22-23) = Rs 8,000

Now, let’s calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method:

Annual Depreciation = Depreciable Amount / Useful Life
Useful Life (in years) = 5 (since you haven’t mentioned a specific useful life, I’ll assume 5 years)

Annual Depreciation = Rs 8,000 / 5 = Rs 1,600

For FY 23-24, you can claim a depreciation of Rs 1,600 for your laptop.

Regarding unclaimed depreciation from the previous year (FY 22-23), unfortunately, you cannot carry forward unclaimed depreciation to the succeeding year (FY 23-24). Each financial year’s depreciation is calculated independently based on the asset’s value and useful life during that specific year.

Therefore, the total depreciation claimed in FY 23-24 would be Rs 1,600, and you cannot include any unclaimed depreciation from the previous year.

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! 😊

Asset is acquired by the assessee during the previous year and is put to use for the purposes of business for a period of less than one hundred and eighty days in that previous year, and the deduction under this sub-section in respect of such asset is restricted to fifty per cent of the amount calculated at the percentage prescribed for an asset under clause [iia] for that previous year, then, the deduction for the balance fifty per cent of the amount calculated at the percentage prescribed for such asset under clause [iia] shall be allowed under this sub-section in the immediately succeeding previous year in respect of such asset

Can anyone please explain this?

You are getting confused between between depreciation and additional depreciation

Depreciation has insufficient examples like how the economy is in a deficit. Oherwise why would anyone ask questions about depreciation when google and bing are there?
