Depreciation cannot be availed if the car is for personal use.

Mihir is right, no depreciation available on car used for personal purpose.

agreeee with mihir

"Agree with to all above"

I am using the car for business purpose as I am a professional and car is being used for doing business.

if you are carrying on any business then only you can claim depreciation proportionately. by claiming it has been used for business.. otherwise you can't claim....

I hope u have only one car in the business.

Purchase price of the old car                    10 L

Less : sale price of the old car                 ( 8 L)

Add : purchase price of the new car         15 L

Closing WDV                                                17 L

Less : Depreciation on 17 L @ 15%         

Opening WDV

Note : The above calculation is applicable if you purchase new car before 31st march. 

thanks
