Hello friends,

I returned to India a couple of months ago after a 6 year stint in the USA. I continue to work for a pharmaceutical giant in NJ, USA. I was made aware of the tax benefits of registering with STPI. I intend to setup a proprietary concern to register for the same. I had met the person in-charge at Hyderabad STPI. The process seems to be laborious and time consuming. I would like to request you to help me in identifying a qualified/efficient CA in Hyderabad to assist me in registering and filing returns every month.

Thank you,
Gautam Reddy G

As per the Proviso to Section 32(1)...

50% of the depreciation is allowed, if the asset is put to use for less than 180 days in the previous year..

but if an asset is purchased in Jan 2007 but put to use on Dec 2008, the restriction of 50% of depreciation will not apply i.e. for A.Y. 2009-10 (F.Y. 2008-09) depreciation on the respective asset will be charged at 100% and no depreciation will be charged for the A.Y. 2008-09 (F.Y. 2007-08) as the asset is put to use in the next year.

However, if the asset is put to use in April, 2009, will the respective asset be eligible for depreciation in A.Y. 2009-10 (F.Y. 2008-09), considering the put to use principle...!!!!!
