Dear Piyush,
Goodwill is an asset because it is the monetized value of the reputation and good name of a business concern. This reputation is also what enables a business to generate excessive profit and gives a company or any other business concern an edge or its competitors. This is why goodwill is considered an asset for a business.
As per the relevant Accounting Standard, Goodwill if purchased should be recognised as an asset in the balance sheet.
Self generated goodwill is not recorded.
All the best.
