21 June 2014 Capital expenditure is the expenditure which improve the life of assets and increase the efficiency of the assets, therefore insurance premium paid on fixed assets is neither improve the life of assets nor improve the efficiency therefore it is revenue expenditure.

22 June 2014 For all years it is a revenue expenditure as it does not increase / maintain life of asset

only insurance allowed to be capitalised is for transit
