Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the basis for starting depreciation on fixed assets. It distinguishes between 'ready to use', typically from the purchase date under Income Tax Act, and 'put to use', which refers to the date the asset is actually employed according to the Companies Act. The consensus leans towards the asset being 'put to use' as the trigger for depreciation.

It is on the basis of asset being put to use..
1.As per companies Act - PUT TO USE (From the date of using the asset)


2.As per Income tax Act - READY TO USE (From the date of purchase of the asset)

I have read advocates and laws, the day you open the seal and covers depreciation starts
