Substance of form shall prevail. Merely because the asset is purchased in the name of the partner does not disentitle the firm to claim depreciation. Very often, such a course is taken for the purpose of convenience. Mptor vehicles are purchased in the name of directors.
If the vehicle is used for business purpose by the firm, depreciation can be claimed.
In a recent ruling the ITAT was examining whether membership fee paid to club in the name of Partner can be claimed by the firm as revenue expenditure u/s 37(1). The Tribunal ruled in favour of the assessee observising that in today's enviornment, life of executives is business centric and hardly have a personal life of their own.
