24 October 2009 For claiming depreciation one of the condition is- The assets must be owned, wholly or partly, by the assessee.

Further:-
Where the business or profession is carried on in a building not owned by assessee and any capital expenditure is incurred for construction of any structure or for renovation, improvement or extension of the building then depreciation will be allowed in respect of such capital expenditure at the rates prescribed for "building".
