21 November 2011 Dear All,
We pays certain amount towards software for a particular year for ex. Rs. 10K for Tally subscription for year, Rs. 50k towards visual impex renewal for year.

I am of the view that as these amount we are paying for a particular year so it shoul be W/o & not capitalised.

Pls explain as per Accounting Standard correct treatment if i my view is not correct.

Thanks

Raj
