Delhi Vat Act speaks about equal annual instalment of 1/3rd , so u can avail equally by 36 months - no problem.
Don't include the VAT paid in the cost of the P & M for claiming Depreciation.
Relevent provisions are as under
# (f) “capital goods†means plant, machinery and equipment used in the process of trade or manufacturing;
#(9)(a)Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in sub-sections (1) and (3) and subject to sub-section (2), tax credit in respect of capital goods shall be allowed as follows –
(i) 1/3rd of the input tax on such capital goods, in the same tax period, in which tax credits arises
(ii) Balance 2/3rd of such input tax in equal proportions in two immediately successive financial years.
Provided further that, no tax credit in respect of capital goods shall be allowed if such capital goods are used exclusively for the purpose of making sale of exempted goods.
Provided further that no tax credit in respect of capital goods shall be allowed on that part of the value of such capital goods which represents the amount of input tax on such capital goods, which the dealer claims as depreciation under section 32 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961).
