Treatment of Fixed Assets less then 5000

Can we directly charged the fixed assets (valued less then 5000) to P & L, without routing them from Fixed Assets Register. If yes then what is the way for this (are we need to report this change in our notes of accounts). What is method suggested by our accounting standard. Kindly provide AS reference if possible. If we do this, is there any violation as per income tax act ?

 

Many Thanx in advance

AS-10 doesnt speak about this actually it is stated only in Schedule VI of companies Act.Since Act Prescribes the same definitely it is not voilation of Income tax Law 

Fixed Assests costing less than Rs. 5000 can be directly charged to P & L a/c as per Schedule XIV of Companies Act. Further, Depreciation need to be recalculated as per Income Tax Act, since the fixed asset is in capital nature & is not an admissable expense. For Income Tax purpose, depreciation will be charged on such fixed asset.

Agreed with Divya, but it is a good practise to disclose assets less then Rs. 5000 in the FA schedule, with descripttion n shown at a nil value. it is also useful for Audit purposes

Mr Robin,

 

That means u r not concentrated on your studies

Schedule XIV to the Companies' Act,1956 (the Act) requires that asset costing Rs.5000/- or less shall be depreciated in full (i.e 100%). WDV of Re.1/- may be retained on those assets. The basic idea behind retaining Re.1/- is the identification of asset. It is nowhere mentioned in the Act that those items can be charged directly to P & L. Kindly notice the word "ASSET Costing....." in the Act.

I may stand corrected if I was wrong.

agree with divya

In books of accounts you show it as a expenses, just while filling incometax return you add back that expenses from net profit and deduct depreciation from net profit.
