26 November 2010 My point was Software purchased of Rs.7.18 lakhs debited to Computer Consumables : Softwares purchased debited to "Computer Consumables" instead of as Computer Software (Intangible Asset covered under AS- 26).

But manager's response was
It is a computer application software and right to use is given and not the right to ownership. Hence it is a revenue expense and accordingly charged off. The life of every software version is very shot till the new one hits the markets, at that time such license becomes obsolete.

Plz tell me what is right ?
