Retrospective effect means that taking effect of any change from from past date.
Take an example : Suppose We charge Depreciation on SLM and we are in such practice from 2 years.
Now we change to WDV method.If the change is to be retrospective, then the entire depreciation charged during past 2 years will be adjusted according to WDV by adjusting the same in current year.
