Operating lease...NO...WHATEVER IS PAID TO THE LANDLORD IS EXPENSED...i mean debited to p/l a.c

25 June 2008 Thanks. Let me rreframe my question.
a) In case of Finance Lease- Who should provide for depreciaion in Books? and who gets the benefit of Depn under sec.32 of IT ACT.

b) In case of Operating Lease- Who should provide for depreciaion in Books? and who gets the benefit of Depn under sec.32 of IT ACT.
c) in case of Pure Hire, I feel the owner of the Asset, i.e one gives on Hire gets Depn and the Hire Charges are income only. The One who takes on Hire pays only Hirre charges and expenses it in his Books by debiting it to his P& L A/c. Is this thinking correct? kINDLY REPLY POINTWISE for better understanding
