Provsion under Income Tax states:
Eligibility for Depriciation
1) Assets must owned by the assessee.
ii) Assets must be used during the Financial year.
Here in your case The car purchased is being owned by the Director but not by the company. (Existence of company is diffrent than its Directors)
Therefore Depreciation under Income Tax will not be allowed under Income Tax Act.
