Deductibility of software licence fees was treated as revenue expenditure because licences were limited-term, conferred no enduring benefit, and available material established revenue treatment; disallowance deleted. Depreciation on intangible assets acquired under business transfer agreements was allowed because assets were not recorded or depreciated by transferor, so aggregate deduction did not arise and the sixth proviso to section 32(1) did not apply; AO directed to allow depreciation.
