03 April 2018 As per my view., We can't capitalize some expenses in the rented building... You can book the Furnitures under fixed asset... All other above said will be book under expense head...

03 April 2018 Generally expenses incurred in rented premises cannot be capitalised and it can be debited as repairs & maintenance expenses except the expenses incurred for movable assets like furniture & fittings. other expenses will be debited as maintenance

04 April 2018 In my view same is not to be capitalized as expenses made on rented office don't be under your ownership & same is also not your assets. So charged it against P&L a/c

04 April 2018 Furniture will be account in Asset head. Bcoz, It's removable...
All other (paints' tiles) can't removable. So, These are only can book under PandL account.
