As per the section 32 Depreciation, The date on which the machine was put to use is considered.
Where any asset is acquired by assessee during the previous year and PUT TO USE for less than 180days in that previous year. then depreciation shall be restricted to 50% of the depreciation allowable.
But the restriciton of half depreciation is applicable only in the 1st year in future year, full depreciation shall be allow even if it is used for a single day.

Calculation of normal depreciation is started from the date on which asset was put to use which is as follows
Block of Assets as on 31 st March xxxx
Less: Assets put of use for less than 180 days xxxx
Balance Amount xxxx
Take 100% depreciation on balance amount and 50% on assets put to use for less than 180 days.
For additional depreciation u/s 32(iia) in case machinery or plant(except aircraft and ships) which has been acquired or installed on or after 01.04.2005, by an assessee engaged in the business of manufacture or production of any article, sum equal to 20% of actual cost is also allowed as deduction, provided fulfilling certain conditions

I think this is posted in Income Tax forum so we are talking according to provisions of tax and not accounts or companies act.

According to me in Income Tax it is put to use because if it is not put to use then it is not used to generate income and if it is not used to generate the income than expenses for that should also not be allowed. It just my interpretation. I am not considering AS 6 and Companies Act, 1956 provisions here.

Hi,
As per AS - 6, Depreciation is a measure of the wearing out, consumption or other loss of value of a depreciable asset arising from use, effluxion of time or obsolescence through technology and market changes.
Hence, depreciation must be charged to assets even when not put to use.

hi friends,
depreciation can be claimed from the date on which it is put to use. Use means not only active use, it also includes passive use., eg0 generator s purchased. its not used for the whole year because of regular electricity supply. but still depreciation can be claimed

Hello friends,
As far as companies act is concerned you can claim depreciation if the asset is ready for use. That is successful completion of trial run.
In General it depend on class of assets. If the depreciation is provided on the basis of obsolesence then charging depreciation from date of put to use will be wrong. But if the depreciation is provided on the basis of wear and tear then charging depreciaiton from the date of put to use is correct.
As far as income tax act is concerned the act provides for depreciation from the date of put to use only.
