 USEFUL LIVES TO COMPUTE DEPRECIATION
 | Notified Date of         Section: 01/04/2014 |  
            | PART ‘A’ 1. Depreciation is the  systematic         allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over  its useful life.         The depreciable amount of an asset is the cost  of an asset or other         amount substituted for cost, less its  residual value. The useful life of         an asset is the period over  which an asset is expected to be available         for use by an entity,  or the number of production or similar units         expected to be  obtained from the asset by the entity.2. For the purpose of this Schedule, the term depreciation includes         amortisation.
 3. Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of paragraph 1,—
 
 1         & 4[(i)          The useful life of an asset shall not ondinarily be different  from the         useful life specified in Part C and the residual value  of an asset shall         not be more than five per cent. of the  original cost of the asset:
 Provided that where a company adopts a useful life different  from what         is specified in Part C or uses a residual value  different from the limit         specified above, the financial  statements shall disclose such difference         and provide  justification in this behalf duly supported by technical          advice";]

Where a compmany is not  required to comply with the Indian Accounting Standrads (Ind AS), it shall  comply with relevant Accounting Standrads under Companies (Accounting Standards)  Rules, 2006."],  except in case of         intangible assets (Toll Roads) created under  ‘Build, Operate and         Transfer’, ‘Build, Own, Operate and  Transfer’ or any other form of         public private partnership route  in case of road projects. Amortisation         in such cases may be done as follows:-   (a) Mode of amortisation 
                
                    
                        | Amortisation                 Rate = | Amortisation                 Amount -------------------------------------- | x                 100 |

                        | Cost                 of Intangible Assets (A)                        x   | Actual                 Revenue for the year (B) --------------------------------------------------------- |  
                        | Projected                 Revenue from Intangible Asset (till                 the end of the concession period) (C) |    (b) Meaning of particulars are as         follows :- 
                
                    
                        | Cost                 of Intangible Assets (A) = | Cost                 incurred by the company in accordance with the accounting                 standards. |  
                        | Actual                 Revenue for the year (B) = | Actual                 revenue (Toll Charges) received during the accounting year. |  
                        | Projected                 Revenue from Intangible Asset (C) = | Total                  projected revenue from the Intangible Assets as  provided to the                 project lender at the time of financial  closure / agreement. |  The          amortisation amount or rate should ensure that the whole of the  cost of         the intangible asset is amortised over the concession  period. Revenue          shall be reviewed at the end of each financial year and  projected         revenue shall be adjusted to reflect such changes, if  any, in the         estimates as will lead to the actual collection at  the end of the         concession period. (c)         Example:-
