If books purchased are annual publications - depreciation can be claimed @ 100%

otherwise it will be depreciated @ 60% as plant & machinery.

Whether capitalization of Books purchased is mandatory or can we charge all purchases of Books to revenue.

Can anyone  mention the relevant provision of Income Tax stating the situations under which purchases of Books to be capitalized Or case laws regarding this
