Under AS-10 (revised) and Ind AS 16, an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset only if both conditions are met. First, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity. Second, the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Items not meeting these criteria — for example, free samples, indirect costs not attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition — are charged to the statement of profit and loss.

The master record showing full particulars of each item of PPE including asset code, description, location, cost, date of acquisition, put-to-use date, componentisation, accumulated depreciation, written-down value and disposal details; it is the document against which physical verification is reconciled.
Records the results of the physical count of assets against the register, listing assets seen, assets not located, unrecorded assets found, condition and location, together with the discrepancy schedule and management's proposed treatment of differences.
Assigns a unique identifier, often a barcode or QR label, to each asset and maps it to the register entry so that assets can be tracked by location and custodian; underpins repeatable verification and controls over movement of assets.
Reconciles the totals of gross block, accumulated depreciation and net block per the Fixed Asset Register with the corresponding control accounts in the general ledger, explaining and clearing every reconciling item before the accounts are finalised.
Sets out asset-wise or block-wise depreciation computed under Schedule II for the financial statements and under Section 32 block-of-assets rates for the tax computation, reconciling additions, disposals and the resulting written-down values.
Documents the review of useful lives, residual values and indicators of impairment of PPE, and supports the sum-insured used for insurance; links the verified carrying amounts to Ind AS 36 impairment testing where applicable.
Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
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.
Section 50 provides a special computation of capital gains where the capital asset transferred forms part of a block of assets on which depreciation has been allowed. It deems the gain to be a short-term capital gain in two situations: where the sale consideration and other reductions exceed the written-down value of the block together with the cost of assets acquired, and where the block of assets ceases to exist at the year-end. Correct application depends on knowing exactly which assets were disposed of, the consideration received and the composition of the block, all of which flow from the Fixed Asset Register. A fixed asset audit that reconciles disposals to sale invoices and gate passes helps ensure that gains under Section 50 are neither understated nor overstated.
Because PIN 600044 sits inside the Chennai South jurisdiction, the handling office for Chromepet stays consistent across years, which matters when filings or approvals span cycles. Records we prepare for Chromepet carry the geo-zone 600xx tag and coordinates 12.9516, 80.1462, which map each submission back to this locality. Statutory correspondence for Chromepet businesses routes through the Tambaram Division, so we align every Fixed Asset Audit engagement to that jurisdiction from the start. Every Chromepet engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600044, the Tambaram Division, and the coordinates 12.9516, 80.1462 that anchor the locality.
The businesses clustered around Madras Institute of Technology in Chromepet drive the bulk of the Fixed Asset Audit workload we see each cycle. Document pickup near Madras Institute of Technology is a same-hour errand for our Chromepet engagements rather than the half-day a typical Chennai client expects. Chromepet sustains a high flow of commerce for a education it residential corridor locality, and that flow is the raw material for the FA Audit files we close here. Commercial activity in Chromepet runs high, so FA Audit volumes scale through peak months and we staff the Chromepet desk accordingly.
The residential firms we serve in Chromepet value a FA Audit partner who already understands their sector's compliance rhythm. The residential character of Chromepet commerce influences everything from invoice formats to the supporting documents a Fixed Asset Audit review needs. Because Chromepet hosts a cluster of residential businesses, we benchmark each new Fixed Asset Audit engagement against patterns we already track for the locality. Mixed residential activity across Chromepet means our FA Audit team keeps sector playbooks ready rather than improvising per client.
The Chromepet Fixed Asset Audit workflow is documented end-to-end: WhatsApp document intake, a working file, qualified review, and a filed acknowledgement back to you. We keep a repeatable FA Audit checklist for Chromepet so nothing in the cycle is improvised or missed. Working papers for Chromepet Fixed Asset Audit engagements stay archived and retrievable, which makes any later notice or query straightforward to answer. Our Chromepet FA Audit process is built to be predictable, documented, and on time, cycle after cycle.

A client relocating between Chromepet and Sembakkam keeps the same FA Audit file and the same team. We treat Chromepet and Sembakkam as one catchment for Fixed Asset Audit, which keeps documentation and turnaround consistent. Proximity to Sembakkam means a Chromepet engagement can extend across the locality cluster with no change in cadence.
Over several cycles in Chromepet, the recurring Fixed Asset Audit issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early. Common patterns in the Tambaram Division give Chromepet businesses an early-warning map we use to pre-empt FA Audit issues. Sector signals in Chromepet — seasonal residential swings and peak-period volumes — shape how we schedule FA Audit work. The longer we serve Chromepet, the more precisely we predict where a FA Audit file needs attention.
Incorporating in Chromepet comes with jurisdiction, registration and FA Audit steps that we sequence so nothing stalls the launch. Shifting principal place of business to Chromepet means updating jurisdiction to the Chennai South, and we manage the paperwork end-to-end. When a Pallavaram business expands into Chromepet, we extend its FA Audit setup to PIN 600044 without disruption. First-time Fixed Asset Audit for a Chromepet business is where getting the basics right saves years of cleanup later.
AS-10 and Ind AS 16 Property Plant and Equipment audit for Chromepet businesses — fixed asset register reconciliation, physical verification, gross block adjustment, Schedule II useful-life depreciation tie-up to Section 32 block of asset, AS-28 / Ind AS 36 impairment review and CARO 2020 Clause 3(i) working papers.
Every PPE engagement starts with reconciling the fixed asset register opening gross block to the prior-year audited balance sheet, tagging discipline review (asset code + barcode + custodian + location), physical verification of high-value assets and material discrepancy adjustment under AS-10 / Ind AS 16.
Useful-life-based depreciation under Schedule II Companies Act 2013 (SLM or WDV with consistency disclosure) is reconciled to block-of-asset WDV depreciation under Section 32 of the Income Tax Act — the timing difference feeding into AS-22 / Ind AS 12 deferred tax computation and Form 3CD Clause 18 disclosure.
Impairment indicators reviewed at every reporting date and recoverable amount computed as the higher of fair value less costs to dispose vs value in use. Component approach (Ind AS 16 paragraph 43-44) applied for material parts with different useful lives — building HVAC vs structural shell, plant motor vs casing.
Form 3CD Clause 18 requires the tax auditor to report depreciation block-wise — opening WDV, additions during the year (with date and Section 32(1)(iia) additional depreciation flag), deductions, depreciation rate, depreciation for the year and closing WDV. The reconciliation between Companies Act depreciation (per Schedule II) and Income Tax depreciation (per Section 32) feeds into...
Section 32(1)(iia) allows additional depreciation of 20% on actual cost of new plant and machinery (excluding ships, aircraft, office appliances, second-hand machinery and machinery installed in office or residential premises) acquired and installed by an assessee engaged in manufacture or production. If the asset is put to use for less than 180 days, additional depreciation...
AS-26 / Ind AS 38 require that an intangible asset be recognised only if it is identifiable (separable or arising from contractual rights), the entity controls the asset, future economic benefits are probable and cost can be measured reliably. Internally generated goodwill is not recognised. Research expenditure is expensed; development expenditure is capitalised only if...
AS-28 / Ind AS 36 require the entity to assess at each reporting date whether any indicator of impairment exists — declining market value, technological obsolescence, physical damage, restructuring plans, worse-than-expected economic performance, increase in market interest rates. If any indicator exists, the recoverable amount is determined as the higher of (a) fair value less...
A Cash-Generating Unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or groups (Ind AS 36 paragraph 6). Where an individual asset does not generate independent cash flows — typical for plant integrated into a manufacturing line — impairment is tested at the CGU...
Yes. Ind AS 36 paragraph 10 requires CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated to be tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether indicators of impairment exist. The test compares the recoverable amount of the CGU (including allocated goodwill) with its carrying amount. Impairment loss is first applied to reduce goodwill, and any balance is...

“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.”
