19 November 2012 Dear member, first of all pls check the date of purchase..
If you purchase it on that date as a fixed asset(not dealing in furniture) and want to sell it then why have you bought it???
Even if you have intention to sell the table then also it would be classified as non current asset only. There is no other choice/option

19 November 2012 If the management is having intention of sale and can substantiate it with the evidence then it can clssify it as assets held for sale under current investment.

19 November 2012 In short my question is if on 31.03.12 we know that a particular fixed asset would be sold in april 12 then can we classify such fixed asset as 'Current Asset' by applying the criteria 'would be realized within 12 months from the reporting date'?

19 November 2012 Yes. then it would be classified as "assets held for sale" as current assets.
