Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the depreciation rate for Tally software. Generally, under the IT Act, software is depreciated at 40% as an asset. However, if Tally is purchased as a yearly subscription, it's typically treated as an expense and charged to the Profit & Loss account. For hybrid models, the initial purchase cost attributable to a one-time fee should be depreciated, while usage fees are expensed.

For software, rate of depreciation is 40% under IT Act.

Initial purchase of software is an asset. Yearly renewal is an expense.

40% Depreciation
Ohhk thanks a lot Poornima Mam & saurav sir
It should charged to p&l since we usually buy only a yearly license

Yearly renewal cannot be done without buying the software initially.

Does the license agreement stipulate two sets of payment i.e., initial software purchase and yearly renewals?
if so, what part of the initial cost is attributable to usage fee for the first year. such amount must be brought to p&l. only that part which is for one time fee for obtaining software should be depreciated
Yes you're right.

If its a yearly subscripttion you can charge it P&L. You may also calculate prorata and put some amount in prepaid if required.
