If you are buying new harddisk in addition to your harddisk in computer, it is an asset. Capitalise it as Computers.

If you are buying Harddisk as replacement of your existing Harddisk then expense it and charge it to computer maintainance account.

I agree with Chandra

If I m buying new hard disk in addition to existing hd & the cost is less than Rs. 5000 then is it capital expenditure..??
Yes it is , irrespective of the amt incurred on it..

Even when you are replacing the asset, it should be noted that- if the new hard drive results in increases the standard performance of the computer than the existing one. Whether the technology used in making the new hard-drive is different/ new leading to better performance. If yes, then should be capitalised.
