Trademark and copyright expenses treatment

Hi, the amortisation method depends upon the pattern of consumption and it’s usually straight line method. Here, 25% is the allowable rate in the recognition year and wdv 25% in the subsequent years. You will capitalise them when there is an economic benefit and a reliable estimate available IndAS 38.21. It is initially measured at cost.

Hi, @ Eswar Reddy S first part is also correct but only to the extent of writing off. Eg. if someone buys an intangible asset for 10,000₹ and it’s useful life is ten years, but purchased it in the middle of the year, then, the six months can be amortised and the other first six months can be expensed as scrap value is of no use when there is no intention to classify the asset as held for sale. Or else, this can be adjusted as half year by the end of its useful life instead of expensing it  This is my assumption only.
