23 April 2014 No accounting treatment will b made for the financial year. Let us see an Example:-

U purchased on say 21st Apr. 2014 but u installed it on say 31st of May 2015 then u will make the following Entry:-

Assets Dr
To Cash/Bank
(In the amount of assets all expenses which r incurred for installing the assets will b included along with its purchase price)

And for the Fy 2015-16 u can claim Dep.n on that assets:-

Dep.n Dr
To Assets
