The classification of asset is, it called as an asset only when it is ready to use. If work in progress is there, like constructing a building, only land can be revalued because the building did not come into existence. Now, when you revalue it for the first time, eg., land value is 100₹ last year and it is revalued to 110₹ this year, take the excess to OCI and from there take it to the reserves and surplus section in SOCIE. if the land value falls to 90₹, take the revaluation loss to SPL. This is the normal procedure for revaluation. The building your constructing will be in accordance with revenue recognition standard’s output method. Go through that standard for more clarity about satisfying your performance obligation over time. For the time being, if your constructing a building, mmmm...report expenses for work in progresses and let me guess, expense-> bank->WIP Asset. You can recognise WIP in fixed assets section if you have a reliable estimate and this can balance the balance sheet equation without tax or sometimes or overstate the assets. On a second thought, there is no credit entry for WIP so, technically can’t be recorded as it does not fall into the inventory category. So don’t report WIP of your construction as IndAS 116 has no treatment for WIP.
