Royal Sundaram General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Dy. CIT (2025) 123 ITR 507 / 175 taxmann.com 427 (Chennai)(Trib.)

S. 32: Depreciation-Computer accessories-Uninterrupted Power System eligible for 60 per cent. depreciation-Projector not part of computer system-Computer software-Tangible asset-Eligible for depreciation at 60 per cent.

The Tribunal held that an uninterrupted power system forms an integral part of the computer system and is eligible for depreciation at 60 per cent. However, a projector is an independent electronic device and is not entitled to depreciation at the higher rate applicable to computers. The Tribunal held that computer software is classified as a tangible asset under the block of “Plant” in Appendix I to the Income-tax Rules and is therefore eligible for depreciation at 60 per cent  (AY. 2008-09 to 2014-15).
