Hi,
section 43A provides for that gain/loss due to exchange flutation at the tim eof payment need to be adjusted against the assets value if assets had been purchased by using foreign funds or from foriegn on credit basis.

section 32 provides for the depreciation and the depreciation is granted @ 50% if assets is put to use for a period of less tahn 180 days during the year of purchase.

In your case assets have already put to use and hence, the present case does not fall with in the scope of proviso.  The depreciation shall be granted at full rate for the exchange fluctuation.

Hope this clarify.

Agreed with Mr. Jonu jain
