Fictitious Assets

What is Fictitious Assets ?
Replies (7)
Quick Summary
Fictitious assets are intangible items that don't represent concrete value, such as preliminary expenses or share underwriting commissions. Although they are expenses, they are recorded as assets because they are intended to be written off over future accounting periods. This is often mandated by regulations, like Section 35(d) of the Income Tax Act, which specifies timeframes and limits for their amortisation.

Fictitious assets means , asset which are not represented by anything concrete ,there is no tangible property . For example preliminary Expenses , Commission or brokerage on under writing shares etc .
Fully agree with above comment
As preliminary expenses , commission, brokerage etc. are expenses so why we are taking it into asset
We are showing under asset because ,we have to written off such type of Expense in the coming years and balance carried forward to next year for write off i.e preliminary expense incurred at time of incorporation of company is to be written off as per section 35(d) of the Income tax act 1961 within stipulated time period.

I just  want correct my second reply  above preliminary expense can be written off  within five year , however as per section 35 of the income Tax act , total  preliminary expense can not be more than 5 % of the capital employed , which can be amortized  in  five equal  installment .   

Prasad is correct
