Rate of depreciation on mobile phone, Income Tax

[Ashish Agarwal]

I have included my new mobile phone in my proprietary business as a fixed asset ( i even bought it in the name of my firm)

What shall be the rate of depreciation? Will be 15%(plant and machinary) or 40%(computers)?

I shall also be claiming ITC on the gst paid on buying this phone? I Hope i am eligible for it.

Sir, if you claim ITC you cannot capitalize the GST component. If you want to claim depreciation then do not take ITC.

In my view, the rate of depreciation on mobile is 15%.

Depreciation rate under company's act for plant & machinery is 13.91 % (mobile taken as plant & machinery) as per income tax act 15%. Since you are a proprietary firm, therefore it will be 15% depreciation on the Mobile Phone.
