No, Partially Yes.
As per companies act, Schedule II
You can charge depreciation for an asset over its useful life, Here useful life is which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity. so irrespective of put to use status you can charge depreciation in books of accounts.

As per Income tax act
But as per Sec 32, You can charge depreciation of an asset only for the period of Put to use.
the logic behind in taxation is you can claim depreciation exp only for the period you have been used the asset for business purpose and generate revenue from the usage.
