Straight Line Method (SLM): Depreciation = (Cost − Residual value) ÷ Useful life — the same amount every year.
Written Down Value (WDV): Depreciation = Opening WDV × Rate — a higher charge in early years that reduces over time.
Under the Income-tax law, depreciation is generally computed on blocks of assets at prescribed WDV rates, while companies follow the useful lives in the Companies Act for their books.
