Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies depreciation rules for plant and machinery purchased in the 2019-20 financial year. If the asset was unused for seven months during the 2020-21 financial year, you can still claim full depreciation. The rule for claiming half depreciation typically only applies to the first year an asset is purchased. Using the Written Down Value (WDV) method helps track an asset's condition and aids business planning.

Written down value method is decline in book value of asset.If plant and machinery is depreciated by WDV then business will get to know exact condition of asset on that particular date. and also business can plan accordingly.

Yes you can claim full depreciation.
the half depreciation is only for the first year when asset was purchased
Full depreciation should be claimed
