If software validity is upto one year then whole purchase value consider as an expense.

It is called as residual value in this standard.

No scrap value cannot be considered

What will be the depreciation applicable in such a case?

75. The residual value of an intangible asset should be assumed to be zero unless:
(a) there is a commitment by a third party to purchase the asset at the end of its useful life; or
(b) there is an active market for the asset and:
(i) residual value can be determined by reference to that
market; and
(ii) it is probable that such a market will exist at the end of the asset's useful life.
76. A residual value other than zero implies that an enterprise expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life.
