Section 35D(2)(c)(iv) of the Income tax Act,1961 says the referred expenditure is preliminary expenses. But Companies Act,1956 does not contain a separate section for preliminary expenses. Therefore, for accounting purpose, the company can follow Accounting Standard 26 and for Income tax purpose section 35D as well.
