Option 1) The asset is shown at Actually Incurred Cost
Option 2) The asset is shown at Full Cost including Subsidy amount
E.g.
Asset full cost price Rs.100
Subsidy Rs.40
Incurred Cost Rs.60
Here the tax treatment would be at the discretion of the assessee.
If he opts for Option 1) then depreciation would be charged on Rs.60
