IT depreciation

 i am also looking forward for the answer

 hi,

I have asked the same question few days back. On a overall analysis, additional dep., for assets purchased and put in use in less than 180 days, should not be claimed.

No. In case of additional depreciation, is available only in the year of put to use. It is available on the basis of number of days use, i.e for more than 180 days @ 20% and less than 180 days @ 10%. The balance is not available in the next year.

Yea thats true I guess..I had the same doubt and clarified this with my sir..It can only be claimed in the 1st year.

Pl. check this attached file. check point no. 6.3.

Thanku deepika.........

no way the balance additional dep will not be available next from the year in which the asset is put to use. the above  ans are rite.

To avail additional dep. following conditions should be satisfied:-

1. The assessee must be engaged in manufacture/production of articles or things.

2. NEW Plant & Mechinery only. ( Not old one and not any other assets)

3. Should not only be acquired but also be installed ( Put in Use) after 31st Mar. 2005

4. New P & M should  both be acquired and installed in the same year. Means acquired in PY 2008-09 and installed in PY 2009-10, then additional dep. is not available.

5. It should be an eligible P & M

Rest things my friends have mentioned earlier.

Balance 10% cannot be claimed in the next year
