Hi friends

One of my client is having residential flat as fixed asset. The company is earning rent on that residential flat but it is not providing depreciation on it on the plea that the asset is in the nature of investment and there is no depreciaion in the value rather its value has increased as per the rates prevailing in the market. A note to this effect has been given in the notes of account. Please suggest if this practice can be continued.
