11 May 2009 This is an answered query as following -
As per AS - 10 on fixed assets accounting any cost which is incurred to bring the machinery or any capital assets to a working conditions, should form part of the plant and machinery or capital assets. Accordingly the all expenditure whether foundations freight, salaries, travel expenditure labour charges technical fees etc. paid to bring the machine / capital asset in working condition forms part of the plant and machinery / capital asset eligible for deprecation at the rate applicable to plant and machinery as per Companies Act. This applies the Income tax act depreciation as well. So find out all the expenditure incurred connected directly to being the capital assets in to existence / working condition and capitalise the same capital assets. The entries have been well explained by Prakash. Please note that any CENVAT claimed against the plant and machinery needs to be reduced from the cost or any subsidy received should also be reduced from the cost of the asset
