03 February 2016 1. Income Tax Act - As per Income Tax Act, depreciation is charged on the closing WDV. Closing WDV is calculated as follows:
Opening WDV+Additions during the year-Sales/disposal during the year.
Since the asset has been sold during the year it shall be reduced from the WDV. Accordingly depreciation is NOT admissible on such asset for the FULL year. For claiming depreciation the asset should be in possession on the closing hours of the last day of the year.

2. Companies Act - As per Companies Act, depreciation is allowed for the number of days for which the asset has been used. So you can claim depreciation for 365 days (2016 being a leap year).
