                    Ind AS 40 : INVESTMENT PROPERTY
1)   Definitions
     a) Investment Property - Property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held
          (by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital
          appreciation or both. For Eg :- land held for long-term capital appreciation, building
          leased out under an operating lease, building leased out under an operating lease,
          property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment
          property etc
     b) Owner-Occupied Property – Property held(by the owner or by the lessee under a
          finance lease) for use in production or supply of goods or services or for
          administrative purpose
2)   The following are not investment property and, therefore, are outside the scope of
     Ind AS 40 :-
     a) property held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for
          administrative purposes
     b) property held for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of
          construction of development for such sale (Ind AS 2 Inventories)
     c)   property being constructed or developed on behalf of third parties (Ind AS 11
          Construction Contracts)
     d) owner-occupied property (Ind AS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment), including
          property held for future use as owner-occupied property
     e) property held for future development and subsequent use as owner-occupied
          property, property occupied by employees and owner-occupied property awaiting
          disposal
     f)   property leased to another entity under a finance lease
3)   Recognition Criteria - Investment property should be recognised as an asset when
     a) it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the
         property will flow to the entity and
     b) the cost of the property can be reliably measured
4)   Ancillary Services - If the entity provides ancillary services to the occupants of a
     property held by the entity, the appropriateness of classification as investment property
     is determined by the significance of the services provided. If those services are a
     relatively insignificant component of the arrangement as a whole (for instance, the
     building owner supplies security and maintenance services to the lessees), then the
     entity may treat the property as investment property.
5)   Initial Measurement - Investment property is initially measured at cost, including
     transaction costs. Such cost should not include start-up costs, abnormal waste, or initial
     operating losses incurred before the investment property achieves the planned level of
     occupancy
6)   Deferred Payment – If payment for an Investment Property is deferred, its cost is the
     cash price equivalent
                                            :1:                REVISION NOTES – MAY ‘19
J.K.SHAH CLASSES                                  FINAL C.A. – FINANCIAL REPORTING
7)   Initial Cost of Investment Property under Finance Lease – Fair Value or Present
     Value of Minimum Lease Payment, whichever is lower
8)   Cost of Investment Property acquired through exchange of another asset –
     Approach similar to Ind AS
9)   Accounting Policy for Measurement of Investment Property after Initial
     Recognition – Cost Model prescribed as per Ind AS
10) Transfers to or from Investment Property classification - Transfers to, or from,
    investment property should only be made when there is a change in use, evidenced by
    one or more of the following:
    a) commencement of owner-occupation (transfer from investment property to owner-
         occupied property)
    b) commencement of development with a view to sale (transfer from investment
         property to inventories)
    c)   end of owner-occupation (transfer from owner-occupied property to investment
         property)
    d) commencement of an operating lease to another party (transfer from inventories to
         investment property)
11) Transfers between Investment Property, Owner – Occupied Property & Inventories
    does not change the carrying amount of the property transferred
12) Disposal - An investment property should be derecognised on disposal or when the
    investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic
    benefits are expected from its disposal. The gain or loss on disposal should be
    calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
    of the asset and should be recognised in the P&L.
                                         :2:               REVISION NOTES – MAY ‘19

     Ind AS 105 : NON – CURRENT ASSETS HELF FOR SALE AND
                   DISCOUNTINED OPERATIONS
1)    Following conditions must be met for an asset (or 'disposal group') to be
      classified as held for sale:
      a) management is committed to a plan to sell
      b) the asset is available for immediate sale
      c)   an active programme to locate a buyer is initiated
      d) the sale is highly probable, within 12 months of classification as held for sale
      e) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a sales price reasonable in relation
           to its fair value
      f)   actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that plan will be
           significantly changed or withdrawn
2)    The assets need to be disposed of through sale. Therefore, operations that are
      expected to be wound down or abandoned would not meet the definition (but may be
      classified as discontinued once abandoned)
3)    An entity that is committed to a sale involving loss of control of a subsidiary that
      qualifies for held-for-sale classification under Ind AS 105 classifies all of the assets and
      liabilities of that subsidiary as held for sale, even if the entity will retain a non-controlling
      interest in its former subsidiary after the sale
4)    Held for distribution to owners - The classification, presentation and measurement
      requirements of Ind AS 105 also apply to a non-current asset (or disposal group) that is
      classified as held for distribution to owners. The entity must be committed to the
      distribution, the assets must be available for immediate distribution and the distribution
      must be highly probable
5)    Disposal Group – It is a group of assets, possibly with some associated liabilities,
      which an entity intends to dispose of in a single transaction. The measurement basis
      required for non-current assets classified as held for sale is applied to the group as a
      whole, and any resulting impairment loss reduces the carrying amount of the non-
      current assets in the disposal group in the order of allocation required by Ind AS 36
6)    Measurement
      a) At the time of classification as held for sale - Immediately before the initial
          classification of the asset as held for sale, the carrying amount of the asset will be
          measured in accordance with applicable Ind AS
      b) After classification as held for sale - Non-current assets or disposal groups that are
          classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair
          value less costs to sell
7)    Non-current assets or disposal groups that are classified as held for sale are not
      depreciated.

J.K.SHAH CLASSES                                    FINAL C.A. – FINANCIAL REPORTING
8)   Assets classified as held for sale, and the assets and liabilities included within a
     disposal group classified as held for sale, must be presented separately on the face of
     the Balance Sheet
9)   Disclosures - Following disclosures are required for assets (or disposal groups) that
     are held for sale
     a) description of the non-current asset or disposal group
     b) description of facts and circumstances of the sale (disposal) and
     c)   the expected timing impairment losses and reversals, if any, and where they are
          recognised
     d) if applicable, the reportable segment in which the non-current asset (or disposal
          group) is presented in accordance with Ind AS 108
10) Discontinued Operation - A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that
    either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and :-
    a) represents either a separate major line of business or a geographical area of
          operations
    b) is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business
          or geographical area of operations, or
    c)    is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale and the disposal involves
          loss of control
11) The net cash flows attributable to the operating, investing, and financing activities of a
    discontinued operation is separately presented on the face of the cash flow statement or
    disclosed in the notes.

              Ind AS 16 : PROPERTY PLANT & EQUIPMENT
(1)   This Standard does not apply to:
      (a) biological assets related to agricultural activity other than bearer plants. This
           Standard applies to bearer plants but it does not apply to the produce on bearer
           plants; and
      (b) wasting assets including mineral rights, expenditure on the exploration for and
           extraction of minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non- regenerative resources.
      However, this Standard applies to PPE used to develop or maintain the assets
      described in (a) and (b) above.
(2)   Investment property should be accounted for only in accordance with the cost model
      prescribed in this standard.
(3)   Definitions - The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:
      i.    Agricultural Activity is the management by an enterprise of the biological
            transformation and harvest of biological assets for sale or for conversion into
            agricultural produce or into additional biological assets.
      ii.   Agricultural Produce is the harvested product of biological assets of the enterprise.
      iii. Bearer plant is a plant that
            (a) is used in the production or supply of agricultural produce;
            (b) is expected to bear produce for more than a period of twelve months; and
            (c) has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce, except for
                   incidental scrap sales.
            The following are not bearer plants: (i) plants cultivated to be harvested as
            agricultural produce (for example, trees grown for use as lumber); (ii) plants
            cultivated to produce agricultural produce when there is more than a remote
            likelihood that the entity will also harvest and sell the plant as agricultural produce,
            other than as incidental scrap sales (for example, trees that are cultivated both for
            their fruit and their lumber); and (iii) annual crops (for example, maize and wheat).
            When bearer plants are no longer used to bear produce they might be cut down
            and sold as scrap, for example, for use as firewood. Such incidental scrap sales
            would not prevent the plant from satisfying the definition of a bearer plant.
      iv. Biological Asset is a living animal or plant.
      v.    Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised after deducting
            any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
      vi. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other
            consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction
      vii. Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost,
            less its residual value.
      viii. Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset
            over its useful life.
      ix. Enterprise-specific value is the present value of the cash flows an enterprise
            expects to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the
            end of its useful life or expects to incur when settling a liability.
      x.    Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between
            knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
                                              :5:                 REVISION NOTES – MAY ‘19
J.K.SHAH CLASSES                                       FINAL C.A. – FINANCIAL REPORTING
      xi.   Gross carrying amount of an asset is its cost or other amount substituted for the
            cost in the books of account, without making any deduction for accumulated
            depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
      xii. PPE are tangible items that:
            (a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to
                 others, or for administrative purposes; and
            (b) are expected to be used during more than a period of twelve months.
      xiii. Useful life is:
            (a) the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an
                 enterprise ; or
            (b) the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the
                 asset by an enterprise.
(4)   Recognition
      The cost of an item of PPE should be recognised as an asset if, and only if:
      (a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
           enterprise; and
      (b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
(5)   Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment are recognised
      in accordance with this Standard when they meet the definition of PPE. Otherwise, such
      items are classified as inventory.
(6)   An enterprise may decide to expense an item which could otherwise have been
      included as PPE, because the amount of the expenditure is not material.
(7)   An enterprise evaluates under this recognition principle all its costs on PPE at the time
      they are incurred. These costs include costs incurred: (a) initially to acquire or construct
      an item of PPE; and (b) subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it.
(8)   Subsequent Costs - The costs of the day-to-day servicing of an item of PPE are not
      recognized in the cost. Rather, they are charged to the P&L.
(9)   Parts of some items of PPE may require replacement at regular intervals. For example,
      a furnace may require relining after a specified number of hours of use, or aircraft
      interiors such as seats and galleys may require replacement several times during the
      life of the airframe. Similarly, major parts of conveyor system, such as, conveyor belts,
      wire ropes, etc., may require replacement several times during the life of the conveyor
      system. Items of PPE may also be acquired to make a less frequently recurring
      replacement, such as replacing the interior walls of a building, or to make a non-
      recurring replacement. An enterprise can recognise in the carrying amount of an item of
      PPE the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if the
      recognition criteria are met. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced should
      be derecognised
10) When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount
    of the item of PPE as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Any
    remaining carrying amount of the cost of the previous inspection (as distinct from
    physical parts) is derecognised.
                                             :6:                 REVISION NOTES – MAY ‘19
J.K.SHAH CLASSES                                     FINAL C.A. – FINANCIAL REPORTING
(11) An item of PPE that qualifies for recognition as an asset should be measured at its cost.
     The cost of an item of PPE comprises:
     (a) its purchase price, including import duties and non -refundable purchase taxes,,
           after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
     (b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition
           necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
           management.
     (c) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling, removing the item and restoring the
           site on which it is located, referred to as ‘decommissioning, restoration and similar
           liabilities’, the obligation for which an enterprise incurs either when the item is
           acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period
(12) The cost of a self-constructed asset is determined using the same principles as for an
     acquired asset. The cost of abnormal amounts of wasted material, labour, or other
     resources incurred in self-constructing an asset is not included in the cost of the asset.
(13) Bearer plants are accounted for in the same way as self-constructed items of PPE
     before they are in the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the
     manner intended by management. Therefore, this Ind AS covers activities that are
     necessary to cultivate the bearer plants before they are in the location and condition
     necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
(14) Measurement of Cost - The cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the
     recognition date. If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference
     between the cash price equivalent and the total payment is recognised as interest over
     the period of credit unless such interest is capitalised in accordance with Ind AS 23.
(15) One or more items of PPE may be acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset or
     assets, or a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets. The cost of such an
     item of PPE is measured at fair value unless (a) the exchange transaction lacks
     commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset(s) received nor the
     asset(s) given up is reliably measurable. The acquired item(s) is/are measured in this
     manner even if an enterprise cannot immediately derecognise the asset given up. If the
     acquired item(s) is/are not measured at fair value, its/their cost is measured at the
     carrying amount of the asset(s) given up.
(16) Where several items of PPE are purchased for a consolidated price, the consideration is
     apportioned to the various items on the basis of their respective fair values at the date
     of acquisition. In case the fair values of the items acquired cannot be measured reliably,
     these values are estimated on a fair basis as determined by competent valuers.
(17) Measurement after Recognition - An enterprise should choose either the cost model or
     the revaluation model as its accounting policy and should apply that policy to an entire
     class of PPE.
(18) Cost Model - After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE should be carried at its cost
     less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
                                            :7:                REVISION NOTES – MAY ‘19
J.K.SHAH CLASSES                                       FINAL C.A. – FINANCIAL REPORTING
(19) Revaluation Model - After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE whose fair value can
     be measured reliably should be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the
     date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent
     accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations should be made with sufficient regularity
     to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be
     determined using fair value at the balance sheet date.
(20) The frequency of revaluations depends upon the changes in fair values of the items of
     PPE being revalued. When the fair value of a revalued asset differs materially from its
     carrying amount, a further revaluation is required. Some items of PPE experience
     significant and volatile changes in fair value, thus necessitating annual revaluation.
     Such frequent revaluations are unnecessary for items of PPE with only insignificant
     changes in fair value. Instead, it may be necessary to revalue the item only every three
     or five years.
(21) When an item of PPE is revalued, the carrying amount of that asset is adjusted to the
     revalued amount. If an item of PPE is revalued, the entire class of PPE to which that
     asset belongs should be revalued. A class of PPE is a grouping of assets of a similar
     nature and use in operations of an enterprise. The following are examples of separate
     classes: (a) land; (b) land and buildings; (c) machinery; (d) ships; (e) aircraft; (f) motor
     vehicles; (g) furniture and fixtures; (h) office equipment; and (i) bearer plants.
(22) The items within a class of PPE are revalued simultaneously to avoid selective
     revaluation of assets and the reporting of amounts in the financial statements that are a
     mixture of costs and values as at different dates. However, a class of assets may be
     revalued on a rolling basis provided revaluation of the class of assets is completed
     within a short period and provided the revaluations are kept up to date.
(23) An increase in the carrying amount of an asset arising on revaluation should be credited
     directly to owners’ interests under the heading of revaluation surplus However, the
     increase should be recognised in the statement of profit and loss to the extent that it
     reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in the
     statement of profit and loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset arising on
     revaluation should be charged to the statement of profit and loss. However, the
     decrease should be debited directly to owners’ interests under the heading of
     revaluation surplus to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus
     in respect of that asset.
(24) The revaluation surplus included in owners’ interests in respect of an item of PPE may
     be transferred to the revenue reserves when the asset is derecognised. This may
     involve transferring the whole of the surplus when the asset is retired or disposed of.
     However, some of the surplus may be transferred as the asset is used by an enterprise.
     In such a case, the amount of the surplus transferred would be the difference between
     depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation
     based on its original cost. Transfers from revaluation surplus to the revenue reserves
     are not made through the statement of profit and loss.
(25) Depreciation - Each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is significant in relation to the
     total cost of the item should be depreciated separately.
                                             :8:                REVISION NOTES – MAY ‘19
J.K.SHAH CLASSES                                     FINAL C.A. – FINANCIAL REPORTING
(26) Component Based Accounting - An enterprise allocates the amount initially recognised
     in respect of an item of PPE to its significant parts and depreciates each such part
     separately. However, if a significant part of an item of PPE may have a useful life and a
     depreciation method that are the same as the useful life and the depreciation method of
     another significant part of that same item then such parts may be grouped in
     determining the depreciation charge.
(27) The depreciation charge for each period should be recognised in the statement of profit
     and loss However, sometimes, the future economic benefits embodied in an asset are
     absorbed in producing other assets. In this case, the depreciation charge constitutes
     part of the cost of the other asset and is included in its carrying amount. For example,
     the depreciation of manufacturing plant and equipment is included in the costs of
     conversion of inventories . Similarly, the depreciation of PPE used for development
     activities may be included in the cost of an intangible asset
(28) Depreciable Amount and Depreciation Period - The depreciable amount of an asset
     should be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. The depreciable amount of
     an asset is determined after deducting its residual value.
(29) The residual value and the useful life of an asset should be reviewed at least at each
     financial year-end and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the change should
     be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate as per Ind AS 8
(30) Depreciation is recognised even if the fair value of the asset exceeds its carrying
     amount, as long as the asset’s residual value does not exceed its carrying amount.
(31) The residual value of an asset may increase to an amount equal to or greater than its
     carrying amount. If it does, depreciation charge of the asset is zero unless and until its
     residual value subsequently decreases to an amount below its carrying amount.
(32) Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, i.e., when it is in the
     location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
     intended by management.
(33) Land and buildings are separable assets and are accounted for separately, even when
     they are acquired together.
(34) Depreciation Method - The depreciation method used should reflect the pattern in which
     the future economic benefits of the asset are expected to be consumed by the
     enterprise. The depreciation method applied to an asset should be reviewed at least at
     each financial year-end and, if there has been a significant change in the expected
     pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset, the
     method should be changed to reflect the changed pattern. Such a change should be
     accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with Ind AS 8.
(35) A variety of depreciation methods can be used to allocate the depreciable amount of an

     During the financial year 2017-2018 due to wear and tear, the rope used in the conveyor
     system was replaced by a new one at cost of ` 8 crores. As new rope did not increase the

     new rope to repairs & maintenance. Old rope continues to appear in the books of account
     and is charged with depreciation every year.
     Discuss the correctness of the accounting treatment.

Q.3. A company is engaged in the manufacture of electronic products and systems. As per Chief
     Accountant a prototype system was installed at one of the customer's locations in June
     2017 for getting acceptance on the performance of the system. The Chief Accountant has
     stated that as the ownership of the system installed for field trials was vested with the
     company, for accounting & control purposes, the prototype system installed at customer's
     location in 2017 was capitalised in the accounts for the year 2017-18 at its bought - out
     cost. Whether the accounting treatment adopted by the company is correct ?
Q.4. A Ltd. had purchased a plant at a cost of ` 1,50,00,000. Its expected life is 10 years at the
     end of which it is expected to have a scrap value of ` 10,00,000. The company followed the
     written down (WDV) value method of depreciation for the first three years and decided to
     switch over to straight-line method in the fourth year. What is the effect on income as a
     result of change in the accounting policy?
Q.5. Taking the same data as in Problem 23 above and assuming the company follows WDV
     method of depreciation, what would be the amount of depreciation to be charged in the 4th
     year, if the life of the asset has been revised to 8 years (instead of 10 years) at the
     beginning of fourth year?
Q.6. Taking the data as in Problem 24 above what would be the depreciation charge in, the 4th
     year, if the company had been following straight-line method of depreciation?
