What is unabsorbed depreciation ? how its treatment different in taxation vis-a-accounting?..

Answer / bhupender janmejai

Take a simple example -
In P/L a/c you have G.P./ Income etc. on credit side as Rs.
50,000. Depreciation during the year is say 10,000. Now
you will simply debit the depreciation and your net profit
will become 40,000 chargeable to tax.

However if the credit side remains same as Rs. 50,000 but
the depreciation is 60,000 then what will happen?
In accounting terms it will simply show a loss of 10,000 to
the firm. However in taxation terms this 10,000 will be
known as unabsorbed depreciation.

Now the assessee can carry forward this 10,000 to next years
and can setoff it against future profits. For details you
should read SET-OFF & CARRY FORWARD chapters along with
topic of depreciation in b&p
