13 August 2015 As per AS-26, intangible asset can be capitalized only if
1 it results in future eco benefit, and
2 useful life can be estimated.

So should an accounting software, like tally, purchased be capitalized?

13 August 2015 Nops, it should not be capitalised, as without software the computer will not loose its identity and could not be used for work.

13 August 2015 Tally software can be capitalized as per AS 26. It has future economic benefit and useful life. Capitalize and depreciate it for 5 years.

17 August 2015 Although I have advised many times to capitalise this, but recetly there was a case where capitalisatiion has been disallowed.

I would suggest you to take decision based on the amount involved.
