Our Company paid, Rs.2.83 crores to state power distribution corporation for supply, errection, service line for a sub station in our company premises for 2400kva power supply, initially we have old substaion having 1200kva capacity which was totally dismantelled and new one was errected.
Now my doubt is, can I treat such expense as Revenue as I am not having any control over such sub station and our payment is for getting additional power for our production and not to build an asset in the form of sub station.
even though we are getting future benefits from such sub station, is it correct to treat it as Revenue expenses

This payment is nothing just an expenditure incurred for getting more electricity...so this must be booked as revenue expenditure.wait for the other experts reply.
