Pre-incorporation expenses

Hi,

Can someone tell me whether the pre-incorporation expenses are to be claimed in 5 years equally (balance showed in Misc. Exp. in Balance Sheet) or can it be taken as expense in the first year itself? Whether it is mandatory to do so? Need its reference as per accounting polices as well as Companies Act 2013.
