25 April 2008 ROC FEES ON INCREASE OF AUTH. SHARE CAPITAL IS CAPITAL EXP.
THE SAME VIEW WAS TAKEN BY SOME OF OUR CA CLUB MEMBERS ALSO EARLIER AND ONE OF THEM EVEN QUOTED SOME CASE LAW ALSO.
PRLIMINARY EXP. SECTION WHEN YOU READ INCOME TAX ACT IS ALL RELATED TO PROJECT EXPENDITURE.NEW/EXPANSION AND DOES NOT FIT INTO THIS TYPE OF EXP.

15 May 2008 no, there is a difference. it is capital expenditure but for income tax purpose, means it is not allowed while computing taxable income.
for accounting, you should debit it to P&L a/c only not and not in misc. expenditure under assets.
