05 July 2019 NO YOU CAN NOT TAKE CREDIT because architecture service is also part of construction service is MY OPINION
– “Construction” is defined under explanation to sec 17(5)(c) and (d) for the purpose of these provisions to include re-construction, renovation, additions or alterations or repairs, to the extent of capitalisation, to the said immovable property.

– Therefore, for any work to qualify as construction, the cost of construction work must be capitalised in the books of accounts which is guided as per Ind AS 16- Property, Plant and Equipments issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
