SEZ units do not get a separate accelerated depreciation rate — Section 32 rates apply uniformly. However, an SEZ unit claiming Section 10AA tax holiday computes profits net of Section 32 depreciation. Section 32(1)(iia) additional 20% depreciation on new plant is available to SEZ manufacturing units like any other manufacturer. Loss on transfer of an SEZ asset before the 8-year period under Section 35AD-linked benefits is dealt with under Section 35AD(7B).

Expert FA Audit in Royapettah — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.
Our practice has handled fixed asset audits since the AS-6 / AS-10 era, through the Schedule II transition (1-Apr-2014), the Ind AS phase-wise rollout and the Ind AS 116 lease transition (1-Apr-2019). Deep institutional memory of how each transition was handled in Royapettah businesses.
Every engagement starts with reconciling the fixed asset register opening gross block to the prior-year audited balance sheet PPE note. Rounding gaps, untraced additions and missing custodian assignments are flagged to Royapettah clients in the first week.
All material assets are physically verified at the registered location with asset tag (barcode or QR) scanning. Custodian sign-off taken in writing. Discrepancies — assets in books not on floor, assets on floor not in books — are reported with proposed adjustments under AS-10 / Ind AS 16.
Buildings RCC 60 years, General Plant 15 years, Computer 3 years, Furniture 10 years, Vehicle 8 years — Schedule II Part C indicative life applied to every asset. Deviations supported by management's technical justification disclosed in notes.
Section 32 block of asset depreciation reconciled — Buildings 5%/10%, Plant 15%/30%/40%, Computer 40%, Vehicle 15%/30%, Intangible 25%. Half-rate applied where assets put to use less than 180 days. Form 3CD Clause 18 working ready for tax audit signature.
The timing difference between Schedule II depreciation (book) and Section 32 depreciation (tax) is computed line-item and feeds into AS-22 / Ind AS 12 deferred tax asset or liability. Royapettah clients get a clean DTA/DTL working tied to the audit file.

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.

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 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. Under Ind AS 16 paragraph 43-44 the component approach is mandatory. Under AS-10 (revised), Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 makes...
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.
Schedule II Part C prescribes indicative useful lives — Buildings (RCC) 60 years, Buildings (other than RCC) 30 years, Plant and Machinery (general) 15 years, Plant in continuous process 25 years, Computers and data processing 3 years, Servers and networks 6 years, Office equipment 5 years, Furniture and fittings 10 years, Motor vehicles (passenger) 8...
Section 32 of the Income Tax Act applies the block-of-asset concept on written-down-value (WDV) basis at prescribed rates: Buildings (residential) 5%, Buildings (non-residential) 10%, Plant and Machinery (general) 15%, Computers including software 40%, Motor vehicles (personal use) 15%, Motor vehicles for hire 30%, Furniture 10%, Intangible assets 25%. Schedule II uses useful-life-based depreciation (SLM or...
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...

“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.”
