Yes. You can claim depreciation in partnership firm on commercial vehicle although the vehicle is registered in the name of Registered owner as the beneficial owner of the vehicle is partnership firm. For the documentary evidence, ther should be an agreement between the Managing Partner and the firm regarding the use of vehcile by the firm. Rate of Depreciation is 15%.
