For 6 months only. In fact there is no 6 months or 3 months. It is on the basis of number of days. If the assets is purchased and put to use for less than 180 days then 50% depreciation and if more than 180 days then 100% depreciation as per the rate allowed to be charged for depreciation.
If we calculate on the basis of 6 months then it exceeds 180 days.
