Depreciation for pre commercial operation

This query is : Resolved 

16 December 2009 Hi Sir,

Could you please clarify

can depreciation be charged before commencement of business in case of a newly formed company??? if yes..then as there is no P&L a/c..the same would be treated as pre operative exp..isn't it???

17 December 2009 No depreciation is charged till the assets (i.e. machines etc.) are put to use.

So either for the purpose of accounting or for income-tax you need not claim depreciation.
