24 April 2009 Rajesh -
It is a normal practice to buy vehicles in the name of the business and using them for business and sometimes for personal purpose.
The proprietor can avail depreciation on all the vehicles as the vehicles are being used for business purpose.

24 April 2009 if all the assets will allowable for depreciation as per income tax than everyone would buy as much vehicles on loan to avoid tax as he will get deprecitaion and interest on loan.

24 April 2009 You have to prove to the income tax department that all the vehicles are exclusively used for business purpose. such a log book containing day of use kms starting and ending kms place, customer name or purpose. The assessing officer has right to disallow even the depreciation stating that this is not a reasonable expenditure. It depends on the turnover and the requirement of vehicles. We cannnot get the benefit just like that.

24 April 2009 of course

24 April 2009 AGree with CA. B.SRINIVASULU
