Capitalization of Repairs

Please assist me on the issue ASAP:-

There has been a repair of the concealed rain water piping in the 16 floor bulding costing around Rs 20 lacs. The repairs included the following as major expense:

Labour Charges

Material Charges(Cement etc)

Refixing of new pipes where the pipes where broken

Consultancy Charges

The work was on contract for a period of 1 year and has been complete in F.Y 08-09. The payment has also been made up to date.

My view is that:-

Since the repairs have improved the efficiency of the piping and also there has been addition of pipes at places where it was leaking or broken which definitely increases the future benefits from the new repaired piping, IT SHOULD BE CAPITALISED. Please note that,Had the pipe not been repaired it woyuld have been leaking. Doesnt this mean improvement of efficience?

What are the criterias for capitalising the repairs exp?

What criteria supports my view,which i can put forward?

Anticipating a quick response from all.

Thanks and Regards

Accounting treatment and TDS

We had launched the scheme with our franchisees that if franchisee achieves the target then he will be alloted a new Car.
Now 2 of our franchisees have achieved their targets and are eligible for the Car.
So what will be the accounting treatment. Is it to be called as commission,an incentive or discount or any thing else.

My next question is about the applicability of TDS. Whether TDS will be attracted and if yes under what head.
Further we have not yet given the cars but while finalizing our books we need to take provision on the same so if TDS is applicable do we need to pay immediately.
Similarly we will have to recover TDS from the party since he is paid in kind. So is it a correct to recover the same from him


Thanks in advance
