06 March 2014 As per accounting standards it should be capitalized..but in general practice we normally booked as a expense these small expense..and ya now there is nothing like limit of 5000 u mentioned.So all capital expense should be capitalized..

06 March 2014 There is no limit if Rs. 5000/-. But it depends on the nature of transaction either. If the mobile is purchased 4 staffs it belongs 2 the company & not to staffs, suppose if the staff left the work then he will not take the cell phone with him. So i suggest to Capitalized it & do not record it as expense.
