Suppose we have taken a loan of Rs. 100Cr for Capex Purpose @ 10% .
That loan could be used to the extent of Rs.75 Crs only. Rs. 25 Crs is being invested in Mutual Fund and we got a return of 15%. Then what is the Interest amount needs to be capitalised
a.) Int Cost Rs.100 Crs *10%= 10.00 Crs Less:Income on Invt Rs.25 Crs*15%= 3.75 Crs Net Borrowing Cost to be = 6.25 Crs Capitalised
b.) Int Cost on Rs. 75 Crs = 7.5 Crs.
Had it would be suppose income on investment exceeds Rs.10.00 Crs (Total Int on Borrowings) then whether this income (Net of Interest) on investment needs to be deducted from cost of Fixed Assets.

For that u need to refer the accounting treatment for AS16 on borrowing cost.
Secondly investment in mutual funds are no way connected to the capital exp of the asset that is why u need to give separate accounting treatment for income on investments.
