As per the provisions of Companies Act, the depreciation has to be worked out only on the pro rata basis. If this is done, depreciation will be less by Rs. 31,69,163. 3.

....lowed on pro rate basis on the plea that s. 115J does not speak of such pro rata basis. 6. After careful consideration of the rival submissions, facts and circumstances of the case and the decision in the case of Vandana Rolling Mills ltd., we are in agreement with the submissions of the learned Departmental Representative that it is the profit arrived at by drawing P&L a/c in terms of Parts II and III of Sch.
