A company has purchased one LPG Stove with related fittings for one of the furnished accomodation it has provided to its executive. The Value of the stove with fittings is less than 5000/- (Rs 1420/- only)
According to the Companies Act, any asset whose value is less than 5000/- should be capitalized but depreciated at 100%.
What should be the block of asset for this LPG Stove for the purpose of capitalization. Can it be shown under the Block "Furniture and Fittings" ? Please Help..

no depreciation can be claimed and it cannot be shown in the books as it cannot be classified as fixed assets because it does not provide any enduring benefit to the business..
it can be claimed as rvenue exp as staff welfare expenses
