29 June 2008 There is no such requirement tat expenditure below 5000 should be capitalised.

The amount of 5000 is for this section under companies act

[Provided that any item under which the expenses exceed one per cent of the total revenue of the company or Rs. 5,000 whichever is higher shall be shown as a separate and distinct item against an appropriate account head in the Profit and Loss Account and shall not be combined with any other item to be shown Under "Miscellaneous expenses".]

30 June 2008 If Refrigeraor purchased for Rs. 6000 in 2006-07 and dep. provided @ 13.91% for that F/Y .
Whether in F/Y 2007-2008 it sud be entirely written off of dep. will be charged @ the prescribed rate?

i.e., it should be first capitalised and then it should be depreciated 100%. and the expenses should come under the head depreciation and not any other head.

Further WDV whose value is less than or equal to 5000 cannot be charged off fully unless it is impaired or disposed off.

Should you have any further query in this regard let me know.

19 July 2008 I too hold the same opinion as expressed by Sri Amit Bazaz who felt "Further WDV whose value is less than or equal to 5000 cannot be charged off fully unless it is impaired or disposed off."
