These items like travelling, boarding, lodging of employees cannot be capitalised and should be debited to p&l account and threfore FBT will be applicable automatically.
The costs which will increase the value of the assest has to be capaitalised.

Any expenditure incurred for the purposes referred to in clauses (A) to (P) of subsection (2) of section 115WB is liable to FBT irrespective of whether such expenditure is incurred prior to commencement of the business or thereafter. If you have still any confusion please ask anything, welcome.
