Hi Jiten,

If he is engaged in running it on hire then he can get 30% dep. rate for the AY 09-10 otherwise 15%, however he has used it for less then 180 days so the will get 50% of the eligible dep. He can't get 50% rate of dep.

Thnx tinku..

But there is some dfrafting error .. So plz clarify it AGAIN..

Sry bt plz do that for me...

Hi Jiten,

Kindly let me know whats the error you are facing.

                      New commercial vehicle which is acquired on or after the 1st day of April, 2001 but before the 1st day of April, 2002 and is put to use before the 1st day of April, 2002 for the purposes of business or profession 

50

                   Commercial vehicle means heavy goods vehicle, heavy passenger motor vehicle, light motor vehicle, medium goods vehicle and medium passenger motor vehicle but does not include maxi-cab, motor-cab, tractor and road-roller. The expressions heavy goods vehicle, heavy passenger motor vehicle, light motor vehicle, medium goods vehicle, medium passenger motor vehicle, maxi-cab, motor-cab, tractor and road-roller shall have the meanings respectively assigned to them in section 2 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (59 of 1988).

 

Only in the above case you can claim depreciation @ 50% on motor car.

you can claim depriciation at the rate of 50% if you purchase and put to use on or after 1-01-09 but before 30-09-09 and only for the business purpose.important point is that it should be commercial vehicle not  luxury cars
