I am a businessman by profession, and i am buying a car next week, ie. on mid-december for business purpose. I am purchasing the car on loan. Am i eligible for getting 50% depreciation benefits? Can i claim interest of my car as an official expense? Should i buy the car in my Company's Name or mine ie.(proprietor)? Please Help.

You can claim depreciation as you explained in the question.
If u use it for the business purpose; then definitely the interest paid by you are business expenditure.
U can purchase car in your own name and claim depreciation because for income tax purpose there is no difference between a proprietory concern and the proprietor. Because I T Return is file one only.

No Question if you are using your car in your business that means you can show your car in your balance sheet as Fixed assets & its loan also in it. with this which you will be paying interest & Depriciation, its also you can show & Claim as expenditure in your P&L A/c..

I read somewhere where it says that the car bought should have a minimum of 180 days as usage to get the depreciation. is it true? or putting the car to use anytime before 1st April will do it?

Even if u buy a car on 31st March of the previous year (the year for which you want to claim depreciation); half of the depreciation will be allowed.

Sir, i didn't get that. if i buy the car and put it to use, though i don't complete 180 days would i get 50% depreciation or half to it? suppose i am buying a car worth 8 lakhs, what is it that i need to do to get the best benefits out of it.

Hi Subhodeep, if u use the car for 180 days or more u get full year's dep n if the use is less than 180 days then 50% dep can be claimed (even if it is 1 day). Regards,

But what is the full years dep %? its 50% i guess? so whats the diff if i am using it for one day or 181 days?

Dep rate for motor car - 15%
IF USED for less than 180 days - 50% of 15% = 7.5%
IF USED for less than 180 days - 50% of 15% = 7.5%
