What is  depreciation?

Depreciation in accounting refers to two parts of the same concept: first, the real decline in fair value of an asset, such as the worth of factory equipment each year.

Depreciation is used to match the cost of a productive asset with a useful life of more than a year to the revenues received by employing the asset. The expense of an asset is frequently spread out throughout the years that it is used.

Section 32 of the Income Tax Act of 1961 contains the provision for authorising depreciation. Depreciation is a deduction allowed by the Income Tax Act for the reduction in the real worth of a physical or intangible asset used by a taxpayer.
