06 July 2014 Expenses incurred prior to formation of Company are to be treated as preliminary expenses(In asset side of Balance Sheet) and has to be amortised in next five F.Y. Hence following will be recognised in above heads:
1. Rent paid for the period July to 12/11/2012
2. Rent Deposit is an asset and not an expenditure hence will be shown under deposit and advances in B/s
Rest all are to be treated as preliminary expenses (same as above) in totality
