Dear friend as much i know as per accounting standards you can charge depr on any .i.e either you can charge depr on 1.5cr and the depr amount will be tranf. to p&l a/c and if you are charging depr on 1.75cr than you will trf the depr amount on 1.5cr to P&L a.c and balance to subsidy amout that is shown in balance sheet ,but depr on 1.5cr is preferred because as per IT Act also you will be allowed depr on 1.5cr only. you can confirm this from others.
 

Option I

Deduct the subsidy from the asset cost and claim depreciation on the balance.

Claim Dep on the full cost and credit the amt of grant over the useful life of the asset.

Net effect on P& L in both options will be the same.

1. Additive/gross method :- Claim Dep on the full cost and credit the amt of grant over the useful life of the asset.Net effect on P& L in both options will be the same.

The capital subsidy is to be deducted from the cost of machinery for depreciaiton purpose. The capital subsidy received may be kept under reserves account or under capital account so that the capital may be increased. This will be useful in case when we go for bank loan
