Chartered Accountant Statutory Advisory & Compliance Guidelines (Act 2025)

Section 33 Proviso (< 180 Days)

When an asset is acquired during the financial year and put to use for less than 180 days (on or after 4th October), depreciation is restricted to 50% of the prescribed rate for that initial tax year.

Additional Depreciation Carry Forward

If new plant & machinery is put to use for < 180 days and receives 10% additional depreciation, the balance 10% is eligible in the immediately succeeding financial year.

Section 50 Deemed Capital Gains

Under Section 50, if the net sale proceeds of assets in a block exceed the opening WDV plus additions, the resulting surplus is treated as Short Term Capital Gain regardless of the holding period.

Companies Act 2013 Useful Life

Under Schedule II of Companies Act 2013, financial statements must charge depreciation based on technical useful life with a maximum 5% residual value, leading to timing differences vs tax WDV.

Ind AS 12 / AS 22 Deferred Tax

When Tax Depreciation exceeds Book Depreciation, a Deferred Tax Liability (DTL) arises. Conversely, when Book Depreciation exceeds Tax Depreciation, a Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) is recognized.

Tax Audit Form 3CD / Section 63

Clause 18 of Form 3CD requires detailed disclosures of block-wise asset additions, deductions, rates, and depreciation admissible for entities subject to statutory tax audit.
