21 April 2015 Thanks Sanjay. You are right with respect to B2C exhibitions. Expenses on B2C exhibitions are of the nature of revenue expenditure. However, expenses on B2B exhibitions are more in the nature of capital expenditure since the business generation takes time- few months to a few years.

21 April 2015 Welcome Charu Ji. If you have proper justification then you can treat it as Deferred Revenue Expenditure.
