The cost of an itemof fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including
import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to itsworking condition for its intended
use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase
price. Examples of directly attributable costs are:
(i) site preparation;
(ii) initial delivery and handling costs;
(iii) installation cost, such as special foundations for plant; and
(iv) professional fees, for example fees of architects and engineers.
there is no such interpretation of directly attributable cost. but examples are given and service charges paid for epcg for acquiring FA is no where associated with it.

i think this is a type of manufacturing exp not to be capitalized.
other opinions are invited.
