I want know whether Demurrage charges incurred should be capitalised to the asset cost or it should be write off to the P/L Account. As these charges are something which relate to inefficiency of an organization rather to a handling charges which is described AS-10.
As per my view it should not be capitalised but I want to know a reference Para no of AS/ AS Interpretation, any guidance note or any other statutory requirement.
