In The case of: ACIT v Container Corporation of India Ltd.
Appeal No. : ITA Nos. 2851 & 3680/Del/2007
Decided on: February 27, 2009
SUMMARY OF CASE LAW
Printers, scanners and other peripherals are part and parcel of computer and depreciation against such asset are allowable @ 60 per cent.
Also here the case is decided by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal which may be challenged later. So in my opinion for practical purpose 60% depreciation can be claimed but for the purpose of examination 15% should be used.
Yes Mr.RK sing is right , though the printer & scanner is used to out put the data processed thorough computer it can also be used independently. the printer or scanner has its identity as induvidual machine.
It is advisable to group it under office equipment./ to claim dep @ 15%
