13 April 2012 Depreciation is allowed U/s 32 of the Income Tax Act, and the condition laid down under that section for claiming depreciation is asset should be owned either jointly or is a beneficial owner, the year in which the asset is put to use depreciation will be allowed irrespective of the method of accounting. Method of accounting is for the purpose of accounting purpose but depreciation can be claimed in the computation of income.
