It wil be shown in reserve and surplus as negative item....

Preliminary expenses are not shown in the balance sheet.
.
Whole amount will be recognised as an expense when it is incurred, by way of a charge to the profit and loss account. [Refer to Para 56 of AS 26]

.
Further, if the same has been treated incorrectly by the company in the year of incurrence, it should be rectified in the current year and disclosed appropriately as a prior period item in accordance with AS 5.

Whole amount charged to p/l a/c. No need to disclose in b/s.
I got to know this...
Preliminary expenditure show in balance sheet asset side
show in reserve and surplus as negative item

you must write it off to p&l when it is incurred considering it as an expense. it should not be disclosed in b/s.

preliminary exp are shown in b/s under current or non current asset depending on the period of amortisation
