27 November 2009 Dear sir Data processing machine means a machine like computer server it is a tangible asse but i m asking for intangible asset. software is used to program data processing machines....
that software is intangible. i want to knw abt that. not the machinery.

27 November 2009 Software is an intangible asset and for depreciation on the same you will have to refer AS - 26 on intangible assets and the same should ideally be written off over a period of 5 years but not more than 10 years as per the standard
