if we have purchased car of rs. 500000/- then after some days we purchased car accessories of rs.4500/- then should we capitalised Rs. 4500/- or treated as revenue exp?

This concept of increasing efficiency is theoritical and difficult to apply in practise. Accessories bought along with the car can be capitalized. A few days gap should not matter. If the accessories are brought after a delayed time period its better to treat it as revenue exp.
