This discussion clarifies depreciation rules for a land purchase made in 2020-21 with subsequent construction completed in December 2023. The key takeaway is that only the construction expenses (totaling 15 lacs) are eligible for depreciation, not the land value itself, as land is not depreciable under income tax law. The depreciation rate for the financial year 2023-2024 can be calculated based solely on the construction cost.
