1) Rate of Depreciation on Computer Software is same as for Computer i.e. 60%.
2)Deduction u/s.24 in respect of interest payment is available to the asessee to whom House Property belongs provided loan is taken by him for the purchase of the said property and interest is paid on such loan by him. As House property belongs to Father and EMI of the loan taken by father has been paid by son, deduction is not available to son and even to father. The deduction can be claimed in Father' s income by passing necessary entry and creating a liablity in favour of son for EMI paid on behalf.
Thanks,
