NO. IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS AN INTANGIBLE ASSET. REGARDING RATE OF DEPN, THE RATE SPECIFIED BY BHAGESH IS CORRECT

Cost of software comprises the part of software and hence the same should be capitalised. The reason behind that software is purchased for use for long term purpose and provide long term benefit to the companybecause it is not possible for a company to change its software quickly. Hence value of software should be capitalised. I think ur doubt must be cleared.
Rate of Depreciation
Tax purpose 60%
Companies Act 16.21% (SLM) & 40%(WDV)
