It will be treated as drawing...
However, if purchased for office, the same will be shown as Fixed Assets....

say you are salary earner, and get salary after deducting TDS, so C2C is with you,
now you purchased the following
1) garments for self
2) grocery for family
3) petrol for your two wheeler
4) movie tickets for family
5) cosmetics for females of house
6) gifts for relatives
7) jewellary for wife
you spent the following
1) air ticket for tour
2) taxi fare for tour
3) dining at hotel
4) credit card payment, cc used for misc expenses during the course of living
5) rent paid for house / Tax paid for house property you are living
6) electricity bills / telephone bills of house
7) medical bills
how many of such expenses you can account and whats the head for such expenses? as there is no impact of tax on your personal nature of expenses, except the jewellary you purchased can be capitalized in assets.
So these expenses are outgo of capital and its only waste of accounting exercise to maintain these, but a gross outgo is created as "drawings" for the year ( in installments during the year) which represents the cost of living by the tax payer.
