The rate of depreciation is 15% of any new vehicle purchased and additional depreciation is available only when you are in the business of manufacture of article or thing and its available @20% only on new machine purchased and not second hand machine.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

The rate of depreciation in your case would be 15%. These machines being medium/ heavy machines and registered with RTO, can be classified as motor lorries.

 

However, if you are in the business of hiring these machines, then you can claim 30% depreciation.
