DepreciationThe Companies Act, 2013 does not specifically requires providing depreciation.
Section 123 of the Act requires a company to provide depreciation before declaring dividend.
If it is a private company to which Section 198 (Managerial Remuneration) does not apply.
Is it still mandatory to provide depreciation every year?
The answer is “Yes”. 2CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Why Depreciation should be provided?
Depreciation must be provided in financial statement every year due to:
Accounting Standards (Section 129) Accrual Basis of Accounting (Section 128) True and Fair View (Section 129) Declaration of Dividend (Section 123) Managerial Remuneration (Section 198)
3CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
AS 6 – Depreciation Accounting
Para 3.1 Definition of Depreciation:– …Depreciation is allocated so as to charge a fair
proportion of the depreciable amount in each accounting period during the expected useful life of the asset.
Para 29- Main Principle:– The depreciable amount of a depreciable asset
should be allocated on systematic basis to each accounting period during the useful life of the asset.
4CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Accounting Standards
Section 129 requires that accounting standards notified in section 133 must be followed for preparing the financial statements.
In case any of the accounting standard is not followed, it must be disclosed along with reason for not following and its financial effect.
5CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Accrual Basis of Accounting
Section 128 of the Act provides that financial statements shall be prepared following the accrual basis of accounting.
Depreciation is the cost of use of asset It is a systematic allocation of cost of the asset over its Useful Life.
If depreciation is not provided it will mean that accrual basis of accounting is not followed.
6CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
True and Fair ViewThe expression “True and Fair View” means
“True” suggests that the financial statements are factually correct and have been prepared according to applicable reporting framework such as the accounting standards and they do not contain any material misstatements that may mislead the users. Misstatements may result from material errors or omissions of transactions & balances in the financial statements.
“Fair” implies that the financial statements present the information faithfully without any element of bias and they reflect the economic substance of transactions rather than just their legal form.
7CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Depreciation [Section 123(2) and Schedule II]
The Companies Act, 2013 has brought major change in depreciation.
Schedule II under the Act provides for systematic allocation of depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life against the rate based depreciation charge under the Companies Act, 1956.
8CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Section 123- Declaration of Dividend
Sec 123. (1) No dividend shall be declared or paid by a company for any financial year except—
(a) out of the profit of the company for that year arrived at after providing for depreciation in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (2), or out of the profits of the company for any previous financial year or years arrived at after providing for depreciation in accordance with the provisions of that sub-section and remaining undistributed, or out of both; or…
9CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Section 123- Declaration of Dividend

11CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Section 198 – Computation of Net Profits

Schedule II – Useful Lives to Compute DepreciationPart A- • Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the
depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. • Useful life is the period over which an asset is
expected to be available for use by an entity or the number of production units expected to be obtained from the asset by the entity.
• Useful life of an asset shall not ordinarily be different from the useful life specified in Part C and the residual value of an asset shall not be more than 5% of the original cost (Revised by Notification dated 29.8.2014)
13CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Schedule II – Useful Lives to Compute DepreciationPart A- • Where a company uses a useful life different from that
specified in Part C or uses residual value different from that specified above justification for the difference shall be disclosed in its financial statement.
• Justification in this behalf should be supported by technical advice.
14CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Schedule II – Useful Lives to Compute DepreciationPart A- • For intangible assets, the provision of
accounting standards applicable for the time being in force shall apply except for toll roads for which method is prescribed in the Schedule.
15CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Schedule II – Useful Lives to Compute Depreciation
Part B-
Useful life and residual value of any specific asset, as notified for accounting purposes by a Regulatory Authority constituted under an Act of Parliament or the Central Government shall be applied in calculating the depreciation to be provided for such asset irrespective of the requirement of this Schedule.
16CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Schedule II- Useful Lives to Compute Depreciation
Part C- • Nature of asset and their useful life• No Extra-shift depreciation on certain
assets.• For Double-shift - 50% more number of
days worked• For Triple-shift – 100% more number of
days worked
17CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Schedule II – Useful Lives to Compute Depreciation
• Amendment in Part C through Notification dated 29.8.2014
• Paragraph 4 is substituted. The new para says:• Useful life specified in Part C of the schedule is for the
whole of the asset and where cost of a part of the asset is significant total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part shall be determined separately.
• This requirement is voluntary for FY 2014-15 but mandatory thereafter.
18CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Schedule II – Useful Lives to Compute DepreciationPart C- • From the date this schedule comes into effect, the
carrying amount of asset on that date:– shall be depreciated over the remaining useful
life of the asset as per this schedule.– after retaining the residual value, may (replaced
from ‘shall’) be recognised in the opening balance of retained earning where the remaining useful life of an asset is nil.
19CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Action Points to implement Schedule II• Determine date of purchase of the asset.
Fixed Assets register will give this information. • Determine the cost of asset debited.
Fixed Assets register will give this information. • Determine total amount of depreciation charged up to
31st March, 2014 of the asset.
Fixed Assets register will give this information. • Determine Useful Life of the asset or take Useful Life
as given in Schedule II of the Act.• If Useful Life is different from that given in Schedule II
of the Act, give reason.
20CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
Action Points to implement Schedule II• Determine residual value of the asset.
It should not to be more than 5% of Cost.• Determine the amount to be written off over the
remaining Useful Life.
It is Cost less depreciation charged on the asset up to 31st March, 2014.
• Determine the Rate of Depreciation to write off the balance amount over the remaining Useful Life.

AS – 26, Intangible Assets
Para 63. The depreciable amount of an intangible asset should be allocated on a systematic basis over the best estimate of its useful life. • There is a rebuttable presumption that the
useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use.
• Amortisation should commence when the asset is available for use.
36CA. (Dr.) G.S. Grewal
AS – 26, Intangible assets
Para 72. The amortisation method used should reflect the pattern in which the asset's economic benefits are consumed by the enterprise. • If that pattern cannot be determined reliably, the
straight-line method should be used. • The amortisation charge for each period should
be recognised as an expense unless another Accounting Standard permits or requires it to be included in the carrying amount of another asset.
