For a credit card manufacturing company, can the cost of acquired software be claimed as Reveneue Expenditure?

No, The software that you get will not be utilised in a year, but the benefit is shared over year, This is a Capital Expenditure

Does it matter if the software is not an operating software, but an application software only? Kindly advice. Can it then be treated as Revenue expenditure and claimed in the same year?
