Hi, For the purchase of Machinery, we have paid * 30% paid as advance to vendor * 70% through LC, and bank has charged LC charges As on 31-Mar-26, machinery is not yet received.
We are showing vendor advance under Capital Advances (Non-current assets). But my query is on LC Charges (It should be Capitalised). Should it be shown under CWIP or under any other Group in IND AS FS ?

Under Ind AS, LC charges related to the purchase of machinery that has not yet been received should typically be shown under Other Non-Current Assets (as part of Capital Advances) rather than Capital Work-in-Progress (CWIP). Under Ind AS 16 (Property, Plant, and Equipment), the cost of an item of PPE includes any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating. LC charges are directly attributable costs.

Since the machinery is not yet received as of March 31, 2026: Group: Other Non-Current Assets Sub-head: Capital Advances Treatment: Add the LC charges to the amount already shown as Capital Advance (the 30% advance). Once the machinery is received and construction/installation begins, the total accumulated amount (Advance + LC Charges) will be transferred to CWIP.
