Quick Summary
This discussion explores the accounting treatment of government incentives received for capital asset purchases. The consensus, particularly for AS12, INDAS, and ICDS, is to reduce the fixed asset's value directly by the incentive amount. This approach is favoured because the incentive is tied to the specific asset rather than general income.

Reduce from Fixed Asset.
It must be reduced from Asset value, since the incentive is for that asset and not related to Income
