19 November 2014 Explanation 10 to Section 43(1) of the Income Tax Act provides that Where a portion of the cost of an asset acquired by the assessee has been met directly or indirectly by the Central Government or a State Government or any authority established under any law or by any other person, in the form of a subsidy or grant or reimbursement (by whatever name called), then, so much of the cost as is relatable to such subsidy or grant or reimbursement shall not be included in the actual cost of the asset to the assessee

In this case the subsidy received from the Govt. will be reduced from the cost of the asset & depreciation will be admissible on the reduced amount.
