Ours is a manufactring company and is developing a project ie(Purchased land and started to develop a building for its own use). Can we capitalise salary cost of Our MD, CFO and Other corporate staff on some % basis to the new project as they are attending the sites for some work.

Whether the expenses to be capitalised are to be treated as development cost and AS-26 Intangible Assets would be applicable.

OR
