As per Section 32 of the Income Tax Act, depreciation shall be allowed only when the asset is put to use.
In this case, the Company can capitalise 90% of the total scheme in one FY and claim depreciation. The remaining 10 % can be shown as an addition to the asset and depreciation can be claimed on it from the next FY onwards.
