The Assets under TUFS- Technology Upgradation Funds Scheme of Ministry of Textiles are eligible for deprecation at 50%.(section 32)
TUFS is extended upto 31.03.2012. But the Income Tax Act says the asset put to use before 01.04.2004 are eligible for depreciation @ 50 (Section 32)
What is the implication of extension of TUFS ?? Is it the asset should be put to use on or before 01.04.2004 and such asset would be eligible for depreciation @ 50% till 31.03.2012 or the asset can be purchased and put to use on or before 31.03.12???
