The High Court held that the solar plant was put to use for the purpose of business on 20.03.2013 when it started generating electricity, despite being non-functional initially due to defects. Consequently, the assessee was entitled to claim depreciation on the solar plant from the financial year 2012-13 itself, even though synchronization with the grid took place on 20.04.2013 in the subsequent financial year 2013-14. The appeal filed by the Revenue was dismissed.
