IF MR X INTRODUCES HIS VEHICLE PURCHASED BY HIM 3 YRS AGO FOR RS 5,00,000.00 IN HIS PROPRIETORY BUSINESS WHAT SHOULD BE THE VALUE OF THE INTRODUCTION. ALSO IF THE RATE OF DEP AS PER THE I.T ACT IS TO BE APPLIED THAN SHOULD WE CONSIDER THE 182 DAYS CRITERIA.

i think 180 days criteria applies where new asset is purchased and put to use in same year. present case is different as vehicle was purchased earlier. introduction to prop. business does not mean new purchase, it is just capital addition.
so, 180 days criteria should not apply for prop. firm now.

Written down value of an asset is calculated after reducing the deprecation allowed/claimed .In case of vehicles for personal use , no depreciation is claimed/allowed . Therefore the wdv of the vehicle is cost of acquisition.
The date put to use is relevant for calculating 180 days crieria . The date put to use for business purposes for calculating deprectiation will therefore will be relevant

i disagree with both gentlemen on 180 days criteria.
i copy an explanation from section 32:
"Provided further that where an asset referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) 53[or clause (iia)], as the case may be, is acquired by the assessee during the previous year and is put to use for the purposes of business or profession for a period of less than one hundred and eighty days in "that previous" year,......."
the language clearly says that 180 days condition will apply where asset is purchased and put to use for less than 180 days in same previous year.
suppose, if asset is purchased in Oct.06, but put to use in Mar.07, half year's dep. will be allowed in p.y. 06-07.
if it was put use in Mar.08, no dep. is allowed in p.y.06-07 and full years' dep. will be allowed in p.y. 07-08.
