₹2,00,000–₹8,00,000 per audit cycle (typical penalty: 50% of tax short-paid + 1.5% monthly interest on unpaid tax; for ₹50 lakh rental fleet, 2-4% depreciation error = ₹1–2 lakh tax exposure)Equipment rental companies in India must comply with two depreciation regimes: (1) Companies Act 2013 Schedule II for financial reporting (useful-life based approach, residual value capped at 5% of original cost), and (2) Income Tax Act 1961 (fixed WDV rates: 15% for plant/machinery, 30% for commercial vehicles). Misalignment between these two methods, improper salvage value assumptions, or failure to track component-level depreciation triggers audit notices. Search results show Schedule II allows company discretion on useful life, creating inconsistency. Manual spreadsheet tracking across dispersed equipment inventory introduces transposition errors.
