    What Is Written-Down Value?

    Written-down value shows the present value of an asset owned by a business entity after computing depreciation. It is added to the balance sheet of a corporation.

    As per Section 32(1), individuals must compute depreciation with the WDV percentage of an asset. This is further evaluated in reference to an asset's actual cost.

    When an individual purchases an asset in the previous year, an asset's actual cost is equivalent to WDV.

    At the same time, when an asset is purchased in earlier years, WDV is equivalent to the actual cost of an asset minus depreciation as permitted under the ITA.

    What Are the Methods to Compute Depreciation?

    Methods to calculate depreciation as per the Income Tax Act are mentioned below:

    As Per the Companies Act 1956

    • Written-down value method

    • Unit of production method
    • Written-down value method
    • Straight-line method

    As Per the Income Tax Act 1961

    • Written-down value method (based on the block of assets)
    • Straight-line method for units generating power

    What Are the Conditions to Claim Depreciation on an Asset?

    Take a look at the following criteria that individuals need to fulfil to claim depreciation on an asset:

    • An assessee must fully or partly hold an asset.
    • An assessee must use this asset for his or her business or occupation. If that asset is utilised for business and other purposes, the amount of depreciation that individual claims will be based on the proportion of its usage in business. Section 38 of the Income Tax Act allows the Income Tax Officer to assess the proportion of depreciation to be claimed.
    • Individuals cannot avail depreciation on expenses of land.
    • Co-owners of an asset can avail of depreciation based on its value.
    • A taxpayer is unable to claim depreciation on a damaged asset or object that has been sold in the year in which he or she purchased it.

    Thus, knowing about depreciation rates and calculating depreciation with specific methods will help individuals claim the same without any hassle.
