Syed,

Sec. 32(1) read with Rule 5 states that the asset should actually be used for the purpose of the assessee's business or profession.

Since you have let out the assets, you cannot claim depreciation on them. ( Exception to the above are motor casr , buses used in the business of running them on hire)

As for the Dep. rates, you may treat the above assets under Plant & Machinery on which the rate is 15%

Hi Syed,

The rate of depreciation is 15% as P&M......

You need to assess if the taxability is as PGBP or IFOS. 

Under both heads depreciation is allowed.

Under PGBP, it is allowed u/s 32 and under IFOS is allowed u/s 57.

Rupesh ji,

1 Q from you, Whether Letting out of P& M is not a business and if we let out P&M , it is not for our business purpose.

Mr. Syed, In the case u can claim dep. on Mixer at 15% add additional dep. 20% if it is new in its 1st year.
