This query is : Resolved

Say a proprietary concern ABC is owned by Mr.X for 3 months & Mr.Y for 9 months due to inheritance.As there are two owners two separate returns would be filed.Then how to compute depreciation for each owner.There is provision in IT to apportion it in the ration of 3:9.

Claim of proportionate depreciation,in certain situations, is covered in the fifth proviso to section 32 of the Income tax Act,1961.But the situation referred is not covered in the said proviso. Therefore,my understanding is,Mr.X can claim full year depreciation at half the rate since asset is used for less than 182 Days. Similarly Mr.Y also can claim full year depreciation at full rate on the WDV ,arrived at by the above method, since he used the asset for nine months.

Apportionment in case of succession is applicable i.e. total depreciation available to an assessee shall be apportioned in the ratio of 3:9
See proviso to Section 32(ii)which runs as under : -
Provided that the aggregate deduction, in respect of depreciation...........in the case of succession referred to in.....section 170.......shall not exceed in any previous year the deduction calculated at the prescribed rates as if the succession .....had not taken place.., and such deduction shall be apportioned between the predecessor and the successor, .....in the ratio of number of days for which the assets were used by them.

I think Mr.Surendra is right in saying that total depre cant exceed the deduction computed as if there were no succession.But I am not sure this provision is applicable to individual assessees as they have mentioned only company assessees.
