Quick Summary
Tally software with 1-year license can be treated either as software expense (revenue expenditure) or intangible asset depending on accounting policy. Many treat it as prepaid/software expense and amortize over the license period, while some classify it as intangible fixed asset.

Since the usage is not more than 12 months, you need not capitalise it. Directly expense off in expenses.

You can account the "Tally Software" under fixed asset.

At a time of purchase software if you purchase software after 1st April

Dr. Software Expenses
Dr. Prepaid Expenses (unexpired portion)

Cr. Vendor A/c

Next year

Dear All...

Why it's to expenditure head..?
Why not under Asset head...?

Dear Hemanth.,

Tally Software is one of Fixed Asset. You can book it under FA with full value. No more restrictions...
everyone having different opinion... I'm confused wt to do😅😅
How can treat tally software as fixed assets

licence of intellectual Property Rights (Tally Software) for 1 year not a fixed assets

in my opinion, treat expenses (You need to renew every year)
Renewal of TSS will be accountable in to expenditure...

But, Software is under fixed asset...

Check out this point to anywhere...

Agree with RAJA P M sir, treat it as Intangible asset.
