Practitioners note that where engineering job-work units file GST under SAC 9988 and run ITC-04 job-work returns with capital-goods accumulation.
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.
AS 10 (revised) governs accounting for property, plant and equipment for entities following Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules. It requires that the cost of an item of PPE be recognised as an asset only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow and cost can be measured reliably. The standard mandates that each part of an item with a cost significant to the total cost be depreciated separately, and that the carrying amount of a replaced part be derecognised. It also deals with spare parts, capital work-in-progress and revaluation. A fixed asset audit checks that the register reflects componentisation, that retired or replaced parts have been derecognised, and that additions during the year are correctly capitalised rather than expensed.
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.

Perambur (PIN 600011) falls under the Perambur Division of the Chennai North, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN. Perambur is anchored by the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) and the Perambur Loco Works, with a dense cluster of supporting engineering, railway-supply vendors and a residential base. GST scenarios include B2B railway-supply contracts, e-way bills and RCM on transport. Records we prepare for Perambur carry the geo-zone 600xx tag and coordinates 13.1175, 80.2381, which map each submission back to this locality. Approvals, acknowledgements and queries for Perambur businesses tie back to the Perambur Division, so our FA Audit cadence accounts for how that office works.
The businesses clustered around Perambur Loco Works in Perambur drive the bulk of the Fixed Asset Audit workload we see each cycle. Perambur sustains a high flow of commerce for a railway industrial and residential locality, and that flow is the raw material for the FA Audit files we close here. Most commerce in Perambur — invoices, expenses, purchases and statutory records — eventually surfaces in the FA Audit working file we maintain for clients here. Working in Perambur brings a logistical edge: proximity to Perambur Loco Works and the Perambur Junction Railway corridor keeps physical document handling fast.
The business mix in Perambur centres on retail, and that sector carries its own Fixed Asset Audit quirks we plan for in advance. For a retail business in Perambur, the Fixed Asset Audit scope is rarely generic; we tailor the checklist to how that sector actually transacts. The retail character of Perambur commerce influences everything from invoice formats to the supporting documents a Fixed Asset Audit review needs. Mixed retail activity across Perambur means our FA Audit team keeps sector playbooks ready rather than improvising per client.
Document intake for Perambur clients runs over WhatsApp, so there is no office visit and no paper shuffle for a Fixed Asset Audit engagement. From the first Fixed Asset Audit cycle, a Perambur engagement is set up to be audit-ready rather than reconstructed under pressure later. Our Perambur FA Audit process is built to be predictable, documented, and on time, cycle after cycle. A Perambur client sees the same FA Audit cadence each cycle: intake, reconciliation, review, filing, acknowledgement.
We treat Perambur and Kilpauk as one catchment for Fixed Asset Audit, which keeps documentation and turnaround consistent. Businesses straddling Perambur and Kilpauk get a single FA Audit point of contact rather than two. From the same Perambur team we also serve Kilpauk and other nearby localities without re-onboarding clients. Coverage from Perambur naturally extends to Kilpauk, so group entities across the area share one Fixed Asset Audit workflow.
Each engagement in Perambur adds to a record of what the Chennai North jurisdiction expects, sharpening the next FA Audit file. The Fixed Asset Audit mistakes we see most in Perambur are avoidable with disciplined intake, which our checklist enforces. Because we work repeatedly across Perambur, we can benchmark a new client's Fixed Asset Audit position against the locality norm. Over several cycles in Perambur, the recurring Fixed Asset Audit issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early.
Shifting principal place of business to Perambur means updating jurisdiction to the Chennai North, and we manage the paperwork end-to-end. First-time Fixed Asset Audit for a Perambur business is where getting the basics right saves years of cleanup later. A startup setting up near Perambur Junction Railway in Perambur gets a FA Audit foundation built for the Perambur Division from day one.

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.
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...
CARO 2020 Clause 3(i) requires the auditor to report on four matters.

Per AS-10 paragraph 17 and Ind AS 16 paragraph 16, capitalisable cost includes: (a) purchase price net of trade discounts and rebates, plus non-creditable duties and taxes (GST not eligible for ITC, customs duty), (b) directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for intended use — site preparation, freight,...
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...

“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.”
