26 January 2009 Generally there will not be any charge for issue of licence. If you have spent on administration or prepartion of application or survey that becomes your operating expenses.

On the other hand if you have paid any licence fee to the government and have receipt stating the licence fee then the value should be amortised based on the estimated no. of years you can utilsie the licence. If no particular years of validity is there, depending on managment perception the benefit for the number of years to be utilised has to be arrived at.
