No you can't claim depreciation for personal used products.

you need to show the car as a business asset in the balance sheet by way of capital introduction, after that you can claim depreciation

sir, request your clarification that if depreciation is only for business assets , why the insurance companies deduct depreciation for calculating insurance claim.

the depreciation for business and the one that insurance Co deduct are two different things. it does not matter that the car is being used for business purposes or for personal use.
basically insurance Co deduct dep to arrive at the declared value on which premium is charged. if they charge premium on actual cost that doesn't make any sense.
