Depreciation will not be allowed to firm, Running Exp. will be allowed, however log should be maintained.

As already answered, only Out of pocket expenses be allowed. NO depreciation can be allowed, unless you prove that car is used solely used for the purposed of business

To claim depreciation that asset's ownership must be in the name of business otherwise it should not be possible to claim depreciation and about running expenses will allowable

Yes Dear... u can claim depreciation and as well as running expenses only in the proportion used in the business... refer section 38 of Income Tax Act, 1961... as per Act. " If any assets not used in business wholly then then deduction of expenditure shall be restricted to the propertion as determined by Assessing Officer to the extent assets used in business.

Lalit u can claim depreciation & car running expenses. As per law u have to consider the proportionate amount of expenses incurred for use in business, but this is practically not possible to have records of personal & business use.So as i am following you can disallow approx 20% of the total expenses indicating as for personal use.

lalit, under income tax act, partnership firm have distinct identity from its partner and therefor both are seprately assessed under the law. as you use the car partly for personal purposes and partly for partnership business and car is owned by you in individual capacity so in that case depreciation will not be allowed on car in firm assessment. however running and maintainance cost will be allowed if proper log is manitained and duly verify for personal use as well as for business use.
