From 1-09-2011 you have converted your proprietory Concern into Partnership.
Now as both are the different entity under Income Tax Act, sales Tax etc. so it is advisable to prepare two diff books of account. First up to 30-08-2011, in your pro. firm you cannot claim depreciation as there is no asset in prop. concern as on 31-03-2012.
The value at which you transferred it to partnership firm is a purchase cost for the firm and you can claim depreciation for full year @ rates prescribed under ITact.
