jivraj singh .....pls guide abt misc. exp in details.

Miscelleneous Expenses are those expenses that do not find any specific classification under any head or group of expenditure. Ledger accounts cannot be created with the name Misc. Exp. It is rather a group under which unclassified expenses are defined.

In the case of non-corporate business entities expenses like: Preliminary Expenses (expenses incidental to commencement and constitution of business),etc; while in the case of corporate entities all the various expenses mentioned by Mr. Jeevraj Singh Tanwar will be disclosed under "Other Current Assets" in the Revised Schedule VI.

i thing so this will disclosed under "OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS"

as this expenditure we have to write  off in 5 years(i.e. more than 12 month) so it will not grouped under current assets

You are right Arpan as per the revised schedule VI the treatments of all those items is as per your reply except "P&L Accounts Debit Balance (Loss)",

It is shown under the head Reserve & Surplus as negative item. it is  not shown under the head Other current asset like other Misc. exp..

pls suggest the write off journal entry for misc expenses
