Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the accounting treatment for expenses incurred on a withdrawn Further Public Offer (FPO). The consensus is that these share issue expenses should be expensed through the profit and loss account in the year they are incurred, as they are considered revenue in nature. If initially offset against security premium incorrectly, further steps will be needed to rectify the balance sheet.

In such a situation, share issue expenses are to be expensed out through the profit and loss account in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. ... Such a situation warrants the expenditure be carried in the balance sheet till it is written off.

It's a process chargges and revenue nature so p&L.
