Hello Sir,
We have got the notification from Income Tax regarding Wind Mill Installation, Stating
CBDT has amended the income tax rules to restrict the depreciation allowed on windmills installed after 1 April, 2012 to 15 %. This was 80% for the windmills installed on or before 31st March, 2012.
My question is If you see the above statement it is contradictory in first statement they are saying wind mill Installed after 1 April, 2012 to 15 % and in next statement they are saying, This was 80% for the windmills installed on or before 31st March, 2012.
So Sir for our accounting purpose should we take a deduction for Depreciation of 80% or 15%, as we have purchased wind mill on 31/03/2010 date please advise.
Thanking you
