Dear Preeti,
since you have only made half payment, your balance sheet will show the value ofthe asset as only half of its total cost...
therefore, according to me, depreciation will be allowed only on the half of the total cost of the asset....

Ok...this is a moot point...
according to me, what you can do is that if the asset has been put to use in july(date of the bill) then you claim the depreciation on the bill value
