13 June 2009 A is the partner of ABC & CO. He introduce capital in the form of stock transfer and immvable property. but title chain is continue in the name of A only i.e. not transfer at sub registrar office of concern state. Can partnership firm benefit of depreciation merely use of such property for business purpose and accounting of partnership firm.

14 June 2009 In my opinion, the AO has a right to disallow the depreciation and other expenses u/s 30 since this is attempt to avoid stamp duty.
But if capital gains tax and stamp duty is paid by the partner, only registration is pending, then there is no reason for disallowance.
