29 January 2010 As per AS 26, this expenditure are in nature of Intangible in nature hence it is intangible asset instead of treating as revenue expenditure nd writing off it to P&L a/c

30 January 2010 Citation :- CIT Vs. Southern Roadways Ltd (2008) 304 ITR 84 (Mad).

Findings :- The payment of such application soft ware, though there is an enduring benefit,does not result in acquisition of any capital asset and it merely enhances the productivity or efficiency and hence, has to be treated as REVENUE EXPENDITURE.
