Dear Kaushal, Put to use date is considered.whenever installation is required, normally installation date is taken as put to use date e.g. Plant & Machinery, whereas in case of other assets like ready made Furniture, the receipt date is taken as put to use date. rgds, ramesh

for capitalization date of assets is normally the date on which the entries to be made in the books of account which is usually the date of invoice after the general procedures/policy followed by the company ( keeping in view that the invoice is received with or after the capital item is received) but in case of claiming the depreciation as per company act as well as income tax act the date when the assets is put to use is to be considered.
