Depreciation as per income tax

What Conditions? Even I am in favour of full year depreciation however i am unable to find anything material to prove my stand. Please help!!

For determining the 180 days limit, you need to count only the days starting from the day on which the asset is put to use. So in your case, only half of the normal depreciation can be claimed.

Hi Vicky,

Under the plain reading of your question its clear that only 50% of depreciation will be allowed to you as the asset is put to use for the purpose of business or profession for less than 180 days(Relevant to AY 2015-16).

Rather full depreciation can be claimed if asset was ready to use , the term used in Sec 32 "use" for the purpose of business or profession includes ready to use. (CIT vs Vindhyanchal distillaries, CIT vs Vishwanath Bhaskar Sathe).

As per my understanding of the subject, without involving into any conflict with income tax department we should take half of depreciation on plant & machinery because same was put to use for business in current year and also same was for less than 180 days.
