Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct accounting treatment for purchasing a residential house. If the property is for personal use, the purchase cost should be debited to the capital account. However, if it's acquired for business or professional use, it should be debited to the fixed assets block.

if it is a residential house, why would you add it to fixed asset block? 

Depends on the purpose on which it was acquired...
Personal Use: Debit the purchase cost to the capital account.
Business/Professional Use: Debit the purchase cost to the fixed assets block.
