17 August 2010 In case of expenditure on leased premises in order to make it fit for assessee’s business, if any extra facility was created by way of brick works and connected expenditure, the same would be a capital expenditure eligible for depreciation under explanation 1 to section 32(1) and if not, the expenditure would be revenue in nature covered by section 30(a)(ii).

17 August 2010 If these expenses (decoration etc) are in the nature of fixtures, then it should be capitalized & to be written off over the current lease period.

But, if these exp are purely in the nature of maintenance etc then it should be debited to PL A/c.
