25 February 2011 1) Revenue expenditure can be grouped in preliminary expenses a/c and pre-operation a/c respectively.
2) Capital expenditure ,other than identifiable fixed assets, may be grouped under the account "Capital work in progress".

15 March 2011 Now that the GN is withdrawn and AS-26 is applicable you cannot adopt those old archaic methods... Anything to be carried in the balance sheet should have future economic use...

So direct expenses and expenses attributeable to construction activities should be taken to FA / CWIP while pure admin expenses should be charged off to P/L immediately... The concept of deferred revenue expenditure or expenditure pending allocation is no more relevant..
