Under India Companies Act 2013, depreciation is required to calculate the useful life of an asset regardless of the method of depreciation already used. Updates are included in this release to address component accounting and shift depreciation calculation.

When you import services from overseas and the invoice is issued before payment, the payable service tax is expected to be converted using the GAAP rate on the payment date. For TDS, the TT rate is used instead of the GAAP rate.

Electronic reports are now compliant with the File validation utility (FVU) version 4.5 tool. In the Vendor and Customer forms, on the Tax details tab, if the PAN status is Not Available, Applied, or Not valid, the Reference number field is enabled so that you can enter the reference number needed by the FVU 4.5 tool.

The functionality that is included for the RG23D requirement regarding invoice references in sales invoices, covers end-to-end scenarios of the sale of goods. These scenarios include, for example, from importer to first stage dealer, first stage to second stage dealer, first stage to manufacturer, second stage to manufacture, second stage to end consumer, and second stage to dealer.
