Freight is 10,000
The amount we capitalize is 1,20,000 in books
Quire is, Is there any section say's that Rs 1,20,000 should be the cost of asset as per Income Tax act 1961.?

Thanks In Advance

20 February 2016 Section 32 of the Income Tax Act 1961 allows depreciation on assets put to use in the business while computing the profits of the business. The cost of assets is relevant only for computation of depreciation. Therefore to arrive at the cost one has to follow the GAAP and specific AS is any. Accordingly, the cost of an asset is inclusive of all incidental expenses incurred in making the asset usable. Hence the above concept of cost of fixed assets.
