Why depreciation is charged in P&L Account?

Answer Posted / n.shankar nath, sr. accountant

Fixed assets are held for the services they yield in the
production of other goods & services called fixed asset,
while getting the finished goods asset value will decrease
year to year i.e. called depreciation it's nothing but
expenditure.

Secondly it's a nominal account, expenses & loses debit &
income & gains credit, that's why depreciation will treat
as expenditure & post into P& L Account
