12 July 2012 motor ca can also be treated as a business assets instead of personal assets, provided it is in business use.....so you can claim in firms assessment....this will be a proper way

The problem is that,since it is a personal asset how it can be accounted in firm,s business. Whether depreciation is accountable in firm's account without accounting the assetin the books of the firm. Kindly clarify
