hi deepan,
the depreciation should be apportioned as recommended by the act and the that has to be done in the first 180 days and next 180 days break up.
though it is act based,logically also this holds good.

Hi Deepan...
In this case the first method is correct as the second method i.e. of 180 days will be chargable only in case of new addition (brand new not second hand) only.
Since the predecessor is buying the assets from a running concern hence no case of charging dep as per 180 days rule.
In this case the first calculate the whole depreciation for the year then divide it between the predecessor and successor in proportion of number of days of the year for which they used it i.e. if the predecessor got converted into partnership after 5 months of financial yr. then dep for 5 months will be charged into his accounts and for rest of the year in successors accounts.
