such particulars in the books of
account :

Changes:
Definition of book and paper and book or paper is
modified, so as to include minutes and registers and
all documents maintained in electronics form also
form part of it.
Now `books of account are specifically defined.

Companies (Account) Rules 2014 inter alia, provides
manner of keeping books of accounts in electronic mode.
It reads as;
3. Manner of books of account to be kept in electronic
mode.- (1) The books of account and other relevant
books and papers maintained in electronic mode
shall remain accessible in India so as to be usable for
subsequent reference.
(2) The books of account and other relevant books and

(5) There shall be a proper system for storage, retrieval,

and such records shall not be disposed of or rendered

Provided that the back-up of the books of account and

a periodic basis.
(6) The company shall intimate to the Registrar on an annual

(b) the internet protocol address of service provider;
(c) the location of the service provider (wherever applicable);
(d) where the books of account and other books and papers
are maintained on cloud, such address as provided by the
service provider.
Explanation.- For the purposes of this rule, the expression
"electronic mode" includes electronic form as defined in
clause (r) of sub-section (1) of section 2 of Information
Technology Act, 2000 (21 of 2000) and also includes an
electronic record as defined in clause (t) of sub-section (1) of
section 2 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (21 of 2000)
and books of account shall have the meaning assigned to it
under the Act.
Unlike The Companies Act 1956, now manner of
maintenance of books of accounts under electronic mode
have prescribed along with filling of the details of the
service providers with its IP Address, Location of servers
etc.
It is also provided that vouchers be maintained in
legible form.
Audit committee or board is required to evolved a
system for storage, retrieval and display of print out of
electronic records and disposal there of.
In case of accounts being maintained in electronic mode
out side India it is required that the back ups there of be
kept in servers physically located in India.
If the managing director, the whole-time director in charge of finance, the
Chief Financial Officer or any other person of a company charged by the
Board with the duty of complying with the provisions of this section,
contravenes such provisions, such managing director, whole-time director
in charge of finance, Chief Financial officer or such other person of the
company shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may
extend to one year or with fine which shall not be less than fifty thousand
rupees but which may extend to five lakh rupees or with both.
It may be interesting to note that in view of representations various
Chamber of Commerce, Standing committee on finance had made
following suggestion on the issue of penalty in case of default:
The Committee are of the view that the Ministry may consider a less harsh
position on the question of default not committed willfully with respect to
books of accounts etc., to be kept by the company, particularly in the
context to the existing position in law, which provides defenses for non-
willful cases. However the relief prescribed by the Standing Committee on
Finance constituted by Parliament has not been addressed by MCA.

Companies Act 1956, did not permit inspection of books of
accounts by any director of the company.
CA 2013 by Section 128 (3) provides that provides that books

of accounts etc shall be open for inspection by any of the
director of the company and under Rule 4 it provides the
manner and conditions of inspection of books of accounts of
company and its subsidiary.

It has been provided that a Director of the Company
can inspect books of accounts of the company.
1. Can a director nominate a professional for carrying
out inspection of books of accounts on his behalf ?
2. Can a director of holding company inspect books
of accounts of subsidiary ?

3. Maintenance of books of accounts in electronic form
has been permitted now in CA 2013, similar provision
was not there in CA 1956. Most of the companies were
maintaining accounts in SAP/ERP or Tally or such
other software. Was it illegal to maintain accounts in
electronic form under the regime of CA 1956 ?

Poser
4. Section 116 (5) inter alia, provides that books of
accounts together with vouchers be kept in good order
for eight years or till the completion of inspection if
any, which ever is later.
Now a days every company has a space problem.
Whether maintaining vouchers in electronic form i.e.
scanned copy, would be sufficient compliance ?

Notes
1. "Factory buildings" does not include offices, godowns, staff

any asset, or where any asset has been sold, discarded,
demolished or destroyed, the depreciation on such assets shall be
calculated on a pro rata basis from the date of such addition or, as
the case may be, up to the date on which such asset has been sold,
discarded, demolished or destroyed.
3. The following information shall also be disclosed in the accounts,
namely:
(i) depreciation methods used; and
(ii) the useful lives of the assets for computing depreciation, if they
are different from the life specified in the Schedule.
4. Useful life specified in Part C of the Schedule is for whole of the
asset. Where cost of a part of the asset is significant to total cost
of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful
life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part shall
be determined separately.
Notes (contd.)
5. Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount
substituted for cost, less its residual value. Ordinarily, the
residual value of an asset is often insignificant but it
should generally be not more than 5% of the original cost
of the asset.
6. The useful lives of assets working on shift basis have been
specified in the Schedule based on their single shift
working. Except for assets in respect of which no extra shift
depreciation is permitted (indicated by NESD in Part C
above), if an asset is used for any time during the year for
double shift, the depreciation will increase by 50% for that
period and in case of the triple shift the depreciation shall
be calculated on the basis of 100% for that period.

Notes (contd.)
7. From the date this Schedule comes into effect, the
carrying amount of the asset as on that date
(a) shall be depreciated over the remaining useful life
of the asset as per this Schedule;
(b) after retaining the residual value, shall be
recognised in the opening balance of retained
earnings where the remaining useful life of an asset is
nil.
8. Continuous process plant means a plant which is
required and designed to operate for twenty-four
hours a day.

Some examples :
1. Where the useful life of assets still persist as
compared to the useful life of asset provided under
schedule II.
2. Useful life remains.xlsx
3. Where useful life of asset is over as compared to
useful life provided under schedule II.
4. Useful life over.xlsx

68
Poser
CA 1956 had Schedule XIV wherein SLM Rates and WDV
rates were prescribed for different class of assets and
companies had an option to provide depreciation and any
of these rates.
Now CA 2013 has provided that depreciation has to be
provided as per Schedule II of the Act wherein useful life of
different class of assets have been provided and
depreciation has to be provided accordingly till 95% of the
value of asset is written of.
Does this mean that depreciation has to be written off
according to SLM only or still the companies have option to
provide depreciation based upon other methods ?
