Cash / Asset / Bank A/c Dr.                             xxxx To Capital A/c                                                             xxxx  

How can it be capital as it will surpass taxes? 

What AS standards teaching Indian CA's is rubbish. Capital? and a dozen of them made the same entry? It surpasses taxes! It must be recognised in income statement of corporate gifts are taxed.

How about a fridge received from Coco cola company?

Depreciate the asset and reduce the Coco cola account but don't charge the depreciation into income statement.
