The receipt of Subsidy is to be given effect as per AS-12. For IT also you must reduce it from cost of acq.

For companies act  you charge depreciation for the number of days used as per rates prescribed in sch XIV. For IT you can claim normal and additional depreciation for the asset. If asset is put to use less than 180 days in the year .,then 50% of normal and additional depreciation can be claimed.
