Dear Raman,
in income tax of india allow depriciation on intengible assets on a flat rate of 25% on WDV of Block of Intengible Asset
but As per Sec-35A of Income Tax Act,1961 if the capital expenditure incurred on such integible assets is before the 1st April, 1988
than, is allowed to amortise equally over the period of 14 years or the expected life of the asset whichever is less
this is not my practical experiance and only my interpetation of bare Act
