In income tax there are only two types of expense either revenue or capital. As such there is no concept of deferred revenue in income tax. The entire advt. expense would be allowable if it is incurred for business purpose & incurred during the year.

Since the expenditure is related to extension of business undertaking, such expenditure can be claimed under section 35D of Income Tax Act.
Such Expenditure may be disallowed by the AO is claimed as revenue expenditure.

Mr. Kartik has perfectly answered the query,,,,
AS-26 has specified that any expense in nature of Deferred Benefits should be written off in the very first year of expenses incurred, no matter how bug the amount is,, Co. should disclose the fact in notes to accounts,,,,,,,,
Thou AS-26 is prevalling since 2006, the Course books still shows the treatment of Deferred Revenue Expenditure,,, Only Discount on issue and premium on redemption are written off over a period....
