Quick Summary

This discussion explores the accounting treatment for investment properties under AS-13, specifically whether they should be recorded at market value or cost, taking the lower of the two. It delves into the accounting implications when the market value falls below the cost, questioning which account (e.g., revaluation, capital reserve, or P&L) absorbs such losses. The consensus leans towards equity investment losses being recognised in reserves, while revaluation losses are initially posted to equity before potentially impacting the P&L.

I said equity investment losses and correct me if i am wrong. Because loss on discount is miscellaneous expenses and its an asset. It can be written off against pl or premium account.
