04 April 2009 These items like travelling, boarding, lodging of employees cannot be capitalised and should be debited to p&l account and threfore FBT will be applicable automatically.

The costs which will increase the value of the assest has to be capaitalised.

04 April 2009 Till now we advise client to capitalise expenditure during construction period till comencement of Production.Allocate directly related exp. to the respective asset & balance exp. on proprtionate basis.[As per guidance note]

But now,Guidance Note on Treatment of Expenditure during Construction Period has been withdrawn (19-08-2008)as the same is no longer relevant in the present day context.

So it will depend upon circumstances.
