## Overview

This section covers fixed asset depreciation for India. It has two pages: one on setting up fixed assets for depreciation, and one on how depreciation is calculated once setup is done.

The setup page covers the items needed under the Income Tax Act 1961 and Companies Act 2013: depreciation books, the FA accounting period for income tax, FA block codes, additional depreciation, seasonal and non-seasonal days, and depreciation thresholds. The calculation page covers FA block depreciation, additional depreciation, and shift depreciation for manufacturing operations with multiple production shifts.

Start with the setup page to configure the depreciation book, accounting period and block codes. Then use the calculation page to see how depreciation is computed.

## Key points

- Setup is based on the Income Tax Act 1961 and Companies Act 2013.
