The component approach requires that each part of an item of PPE with a cost significant in relation to the total cost, and a useful life different from the whole, be depreciated separately. Under Ind AS 16 paragraph 43-44 the component approach is mandatory. Under AS-10 (revised), Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 makes component-based depreciation mandatory for companies where the component cost is significant. Examples — aircraft engines vs airframe; ship hull vs engine; building HVAC vs structural shell.

Statutory hooks that bite here — In Athipet Ambattur, Athipet Ambattur businesses in the auto components arm find that tier-2 component suppliers face GST classification disputes between HSN 8708 and 8483 and frequent ITC reversal notices; where SIDCO-CMDA developed engineering units operate on B2B procurement and capital-goods ITC accumulation cycles.
Schedule II replaced the earlier rate-based Schedule XIV and prescribes the useful life of tangible assets over which depreciation is to be provided. It requires companies to depreciate the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life, with Part C listing indicative useful lives for classes such as buildings, plant and machinery, furniture, vehicles and computers. The Schedule mandates component accounting, so a significant part of an asset with a different useful life must be depreciated separately. Where a company adopts a useful life or residual value different from the indicative figures, the justification must be disclosed. Reliable application of Schedule II is impossible without an accurate Fixed Asset Register that captures acquisition date, cost, componentisation and location, which is precisely what a fixed asset audit verifies.
Section 143 sets out the powers and duties of the statutory auditor, including the obligation to enquire whether loans and advances are properly secured and whether the company's assets are properly recorded. To express a true and fair opinion the auditor must obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the existence, ownership and valuation assertions for property, plant and equipment. Physical verification of fixed assets and reconciliation to the Fixed Asset Register is the primary procedure by which the auditor tests the existence assertion, while title deeds, invoices and capitalisation records support ownership and valuation. Section 143(3) also requires the auditor to report on the adequacy of internal financial controls, which for PPE covers tagging, custody and periodic verification. A fixed asset audit produces the evidence the statutory auditor relies upon.
The Companies (Auditor's Report) Order 2020, issued under Section 143(11), requires the auditor to comment specifically on property, plant and equipment. Clause 3(i)(a) asks whether the company is maintaining proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation, of PPE and intangible assets. Clause 3(i)(b) asks whether these assets have been physically verified by management at reasonable intervals and whether any material discrepancies were noticed and properly dealt with. Clause 3(i)(c) requires verification of whether title deeds of immovable property are held in the company's name. These clauses make a documented fixed asset physical verification and a reconciled register a direct compliance requirement, and gaps translate into adverse remarks in the audit report.
Section 32 allows depreciation on tangible assets such as buildings, machinery, plant and furniture, and on specified intangible assets, that are owned wholly or partly by the assessee and used for the purposes of the business. Depreciation is computed on the written-down value of the block of assets at the prescribed rates using the block-of-assets concept, rather than asset by asset. Additional depreciation is available on new plant and machinery in specified cases. A claim for depreciation must be supported by evidence that the asset exists, is owned by the assessee and was put to use. Where a fixed asset audit reveals assets that are missing, scrapped or never installed, the depreciation claimed on them is exposed to disallowance, making the register the foundation of a defensible depreciation claim.
Section 43(6) defines written-down value and prescribes how the written-down value of a block of assets is computed. The opening WDV is increased by the actual cost of assets acquired during the year that fall within the block and reduced by moneys receivable in respect of assets sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed during the year, together with the scrap value. When the full value of consideration on sale of an asset exceeds the block value or the block ceases to exist, a short-term capital gain can arise under Section 50. Accurate additions and deletions in the Fixed Asset Register are therefore essential to compute the correct WDV, and errors in recording disposals directly distort both the depreciation base and any balancing charge.
Ind AS 16 applies to companies within the Ind AS roadmap and aligns closely with IAS 16. It requires that PPE be measured initially at cost and subsequently under either the cost model or the revaluation model. The standard's component approach is mandatory: significant parts must be depreciated separately, and the residual value and useful life must be reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Decommissioning and site restoration costs form part of cost where an obligation exists. Ind AS 16 interacts with Ind AS 36 on impairment, so a reliable register is needed to identify cash-generating units and carrying amounts. A fixed asset audit supports Ind AS 16 by confirming physical existence, component splits, review of useful lives and correct treatment of disposals and revaluation.

Yes. Ind AS 16 paragraph 31 permits the revaluation model as an accounting policy choice — applied to an entire class of PPE. Revalued carrying amount = fair value at revaluation date less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment. Revaluation surplus is credited to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under 'Revaluation Surplus'. Additional depreciation...
The component approach requires that each part of an item of PPE with a cost significant in relation to the total cost, and a useful life different from the whole, be depreciated separately.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it improves the asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance — for example, increased capacity, extended useful life, substantial reduction in operating costs, or material improvement in output quality. Routine repair, maintenance and minor replacements that merely restore the asset to its original condition are charged to P&L.

“Our manufacturing unit had ₹42 crore gross block with no proper component-approach split. FilingPro carved out plant motors, control panels and structural casing under Ind AS 16 paragraph 43-44 with separate useful lives. Depreciation came down by ₹38 lakh annually with full disclosure compliance.”
“Form 3CD Clause 18 depreciation block working was a mess for our trading and warehousing business. FilingPro reconciled Schedule II useful-life depreciation to Section 32 block-of-asset WDV, computed deferred tax under AS-22 and prepared a clean tax audit working paper. No 3CD adverse comment.”
“Our title deeds for two warehouses were in the name of the previous director. CARO 2020 Clause 3(i)(c) was a real risk. FilingPro's title deed verification drive identified the gap, helped us complete the deed transfer and ensured clean CARO reporting in the next audit cycle.”
“After the Ind AS 116 transition, our 14 office leases needed ROU asset and lease liability working. FilingPro mapped each lease, derived IBR from our borrowing profile, computed PV of lease payments and built the ROU register. Tied line-item to opening retained earnings adjustment.”
“Section 32(1)(iia) additional 20% depreciation eligibility on ₹6.5 crore of new plant was missed in prior years. FilingPro's audit identified eligible additions, computed the half-rate impact (assets put to use less than 180 days), claimed the balance 10% in the next year and recovered ₹78 lakh of tax over two assessment years.”
“Goodwill of ₹14 crore from a subsidiary acquisition needed annual impairment testing under Ind AS 36 paragraph 90. FilingPro identified the CGU, computed value in use using WACC discount rate and pre-tax cash flow projection, and documented the test rigorously. Statutory audit accepted without qualification.”
