16 October 2013 Mr Tushar what you are saying is as per income tax but as per companies act it is to be wfritten off in the same year. Please go through the M.P. Vijay Kumar's Financial Accounting Book.

16 October 2013 Pls refer to AS 26 it clearly mentions that it must be written off in 5 years.

16 October 2013 As per para 56 of AS 26 preliminary expenses do not qualify to be an intangible asset. Hence ,such expenses should be written off in the year of occurrence for accounting purpose.

For taxtion purpose section 35D can be applied.
