As per AS - 10 Accounting for Fixed Asset,

An Asset should be valued at its Historical Cost,

Historical Cost includes:

  • Purchase Cost
  • Non Refundable Taxes
  • All other Expenses directly attributable to bringing asset to its Present location & Condition.

 

Hence if the said debonding charges is such that

  • which can be ignored to bring asset to its present location or condition, then its should be charged to Revenue.
  • which is necessary to can't be ignored then it should be capitalised.

Thanks Ansari for your reply.

The debonding charges paid not at the time of original acquition but at the time of bringing the asset from selling company to purchasing company on account of acquisition of a business from purchasing company and the debonding charges paid were not part of purchase consideration.
