Thankyou. Please give me the referance of the section.

REFER TO SECTION 170 FOR COMPUTATION OF BUSINESS INCOME IN CASE OF SUCCESSION AND FIFTH PROVISO OF SECTION 32 FOR DEPRECIATION.

However, induction of partners will be treated as transfer and not succession. Refer to CIT v H. Rajan & H. Kannan (1999) 236 ITR 42 (SC). Therefore, in my opinion, depreciation will not be allowed to proprietor and will be allowable to partnership firm for remaining period.
