Depreciation is a permanent, continuous and gradual shrinkage in the book value of a fixed asset.

It is the fall in the quality or value of a fixed asset through physical wear and tear due to use or passage of time or from any other cause.

depreciation is a process of allocating the cost of a fixed asset over its estimated useful life in a rational and systematic manner.

The Institute of Charted Accountants of India has defined depreciation as “a measure of the wearing out, consumption or other loss of value of a depreciable asset arising from use, effluxion of time or obsolescence through technology and market changes. Depreciation is allocated so as to charge a fair proportion of depreciable amount in each accounting period during the expected useful life of the asset. Depreciation includes amortisation of assets whose useful life is predetermined.
