    When the Accumulated depreciation account is not maintained, the journal entry for vehicle depreciation shall be

                                 Particulars     Debit   Credit
    Depreciation a/c                                              Dr.      (xxx)
         To Vehicle a/c      (xxx)
    (Being Depreciation charge on Vehicle made)

    For example, let us assume that a vehicle (Bike) was purchased on 1st April 2019 with INR. 2,50,000, the rate of depreciation is 15% and also the Company follows the straight-line method of calculating depreciation.

    Then the journal entries shall be,

    The depreciation charge for the 1st Year 

            Date                                Particulars  Debit  Credit
    31-03-2020 Depreciation a/c Dr.  37,500
        To Vehicle a/c  37,500
    (Being Depreciation made on Vehicle)

    The depreciation charge for the 2nd Year 

            Date                                Particulars  Debit  Credit
    31-03-2021 Depreciation a/c Dr.  37,500
        To Vehicle a/c  37,500
    (Being Depreciation made on Vehicle)

    The depreciation charge for the 3rd Year

            Date                                Particulars  Debit  Credit
    31-03-2022 Depreciation a/c Dr.  37,500
        To Vehicle a/c  37,500
    (Being Depreciation made on Vehicle)

    The respective ledger accounts for all three years are given below:

    When the Accumulated depreciation account is maintained, the journal entry for vehicle depreciation shall be

                                 Particulars   Debit   Credit
    Depreciation a/c                                              Dr.    (xxx)
         To Accumulated depreciation a/c    (xxx)
    (Being Depreciation charge on Vehicle made)

    Taking the above said example,

    The depreciation charge for the 1st Year 

            Date                                Particulars  Debit  Credit
    31-03-2020 Depreciation a/c Dr.  37,500
        To accumulated depreciation a/c  37,500
    (Being Depreciation made on Vehicle)

    The depreciation charge for the 2nd Year
