30 October 2013 Dear Sir/Mam,

A company has been incorporated on 29.03.2013.

Please give clarification on following items:-
1) Do we have to write off Preliminary expenses of Rs 12000 completely?
2) If point 1 is correct Reserves will be negative 12000.
3) In That case will the balance sheet total will be 88000 Rs only?

Please help me on this.

Regards,

31 October 2013 if company not yet started commercial operations dont write off preliminary expences

if company started commercial operations you can writeoff total preliminary expences in that year

it is okay even your reserves and surplus goes to negative..no problem with total of balancesheet also

31 October 2013 Agreed with Ganesh Bhai.

How does it matter whats the balancesheet total. Don't confuse companies account treatment with tax treatment. It may be disallowed in tax but no problem with companies act.
