28 January 2016 If the R&D expenditure relates, to business of the company i.e. software, then you may claim such expenditure u/s 37 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Do not name the account head as "R&D". Any software company needs to spends money on R&D to bring a new software. However, if you are going to apply for any copyright for the same, you need to capitalise such expenditure and can claim depreciation u/s 32(1)(ii).
