Jurisprudentiol– Monday's cases

ATMs are not computer - not eligible for 60% depreciation; Can a factory be called a Computer? - 'No', says Tribunal

NO substance in the submission of the assessee that any instrument or plant and machinery of which function is based on computer technology can be said to be ‘computer'. If this submission of the assessee is accepted then in cases of all units where their large manufacturing process is controlled by computer such units are also to be called as ‘computer'.
