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.

The carrying amount for current investments is the lower of cost and 
fair value. Indian AS your all wronged, youve missed opportujities for companies and eploited companies. Indas is recession tested.  Do you all know what it means? 

Depends on the investment. Equity investment losses are taken to reserves and revaliation losses are taken to reserves and trading losses are taken to pl

Revaluation reserve and then to capital reserve.

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. 

 

Does the loss on revaluation is debited to p&l a/c

Sorry! First time downward revaluation is. Then on it can be treated directly onto equity
