Treatment of purchased goodwill in income tax .

This query is : Resolved 

08 August 2019 One among the two partners in a firm took a mortgage loan on his personal account and such loan proceeds were remitted via neft to purchase a existing partnership firm.

Total amount paid was Rs. 12,00,000/-. (2,00,000 for fixed assets approx. and 10,00,000 for goodwill)

Can such goodwill be claimed in books of accounts as it is in the nature of purchased goodwill ? And can depreciation be charged on it ?

Also, can such amt Rs. 12,00,000/- in all be shown as capital contribution by such partner in the new firm books of accounts ?
