As yu have stated that the company is paying the hire charges only. It means the company has taken the computers on rent and does not have any onwership right on the same. The computers will also be returned to the supplier/ landlord on complition of contract.
In my view since, the company does not have any vested interest in computers apart from rent. The hiring charges should not be capitailsed.
These should be shown as computer hiring charges in P/L account. A TDS @ 2% will be applicable on this u/s 194I
