You can claim depreciation on Rs 75000 in your books of accounts but as per section 40A(3) of income tax depreciation will only be claimed on amount paid by bank i.e. Rs 45000.

Hope this helps.
Depreciation should be claimed on 75000 rupees
As per Accounting standard and relevant guidelines , the cost of asset is the sum paid for accquistion of asset whether in cash or kind till the asset is put to use.
As a result of the same depreciation must be calculated on the accquistion cost till it is put to use.
