Ans. You are eligible for total value of machinery installed during previous year
Yes you can claim Additional depreciation in the year in which installation is completed.
Yes.Date of completion of installation is relevant and not the purchase date for claiming additional depreciation.
Hope you have installation certificate from chartered engineer or the person who installed the machinery in your factory . . to confirm date of installation. . . Installation certificate generally contain words like,
Installation is completed in all respects and machine is ready for commercial production and it is dated..XXXX
