Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a 'Consent to Operate' is a capital or revenue expenditure. Generally, if the permission is permanent, it can be treated as goodwill. However, if it requires periodic renewal, it's suggested to consider it a revenue expense, apportioned over its usage period, with any remaining cost reflected on the balance sheet.

If the permission is given on permanent basis, it can be treated as goodwill, otherwise revenue expenditure.

Respected Sir,
thank for advice
it is a permanent basis but every five years it will be renewed.. so it will be treated as a balance sheet item or p&l

Consider it as revenue expense (P & L item), but apportioned cost; divided by five years of usage.

So, the remaining part will get reflected in BS.
