This is regarding the material purchased by our company and will be used for construction at site for our project.We are in construction business.
The material purchased is from ' doka , The formwork Experts ' consisting wall systems, out side walls , beams , slabs, scaffolders , plates , rods,
clamps etc. of metal . In the construction business for centering , slabs and concreting the pillars wooden planks and metal sheets are used and the ' doka ' is a substitute to the same wooden scaffoldings , planks and metal sheets.
The cost of this material is approximately Rs. 70.00 lakhs. The life of the same is based on number of usage i.e. can be used for 4 times. Hence this material will be used 4 times in the same project.
We are of the opinion that instead capitalising the expenditure , the same should be charged to expense and differed for 4 years .
Please let us have your opinion about :
a ) Capitalised as Fixed Assets or Expense Out
b ) If capitalised - Applicable Rate of depreciation as per Company Act and Income Tax act.

In case the 4 times usage is spread over more than 1 financial year, you can capitalize the cost. Depreciation on SLM method is 25%. You are permitted to charge depreciation rate higher than the Schedule XIV rate
