Need your views-

1) A partnership firm paid 23.60 as a franchise fees which is valid for 9 years and is non refundable.

What should be its treatment?

As per AS 26 it is to be considered as intangible asset and should be amortised in agreement term.

And as per sec 32 of it act, it is to written off in 4 years.

So we should prepare 2 depreciation charts ? Or can we just maintain books as per it act as this is a partnership firm and AS are not mandatory. Please guide

You can prepare single depreciation charts , rather than 2 depreciation charts if AS 26 is not applicable. AS 26 is even applicable on non corporate entities, even partnerships. If you are a level 1 or level 2 entity you must apply for compliance with AS 26, if you fall in the category of level 3 you are exempted from complying with AS 26.

What do you suggest , Should i go with Sec 32 of IT Act and amortize this in 4 years, or should i write off this in 9 years ( as per agreement). Please guide
