Query on a.s. 16

AS 549 views 1 replies

I would like to know that

We have taken a loan to construct a building for business. It gets completed in 11 months. Since it is not a qualifying asset, where do we show the interest on loan for the 11 months period?

 

Thanks

Hello Mr. Neeraj,

 

As per the Explanation provided in AS - 16,

 

"What constitutes a substantial period of time primarily depends on

the facts and circumstances of each case. However, ordinarily, a

period of twelve months is considered as substantial period of time

unless a shorter or longer period can be justified on the basis of

facts and circumstances of the case. In estimating the period, time

which an asset takes, technologically and commercially, to get it

ready for its intended use or sale is considered."

 

Hence, you should capitalise the expense of Interest on Loan account.
