1. Introduction
1. This section describes the systems and procedures to be followed, documentation to be used
and accounting policies to be adopted in respect of fixed assets including accounting issues such
as capitalisation, depreciation, amortisation and adjustments of discrepancies on physical
verification.
2. Fixed Asset is defined as an asset held with the intention of being used for the purpose of
producing or providing goods and services and is not held for sale in the normal course of
business. As per the Companies Act, proper books of accounts have to be maintained for all
assets of the Company.
3. The cost of an item of fixed asset should comprise of its purchase/ contract price, including
import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition or for its intended use. Trade discounts and rebates,
if any, should be deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Directly attributable costs include
the following items:
a. Site preparation
b. Initial delivery and handling costs
c. Installation costs, such as special foundations for plant
d. Professional fees (fees to architects, engineers, etc.)
4. The main features of the capital work in progress and fixed asset accounting system are:
a. Fixed assets (FA) and Capital Works-in-Progress (CWIP) are to be recorded in financial
books as per Chart of Accounts (CoA);
b. Deprecation shall also be charged under the corresponding heads of accounts.
c. For recording of expenditure in respect of CWIP, a register of CWIP will be maintained at
the concerned accounting unit in respect of each capital work order under a
project/scheme.
d. Capitalisation of assets will be done in the books of the accounting unit where asset is
physically located;
e. The accounting in respect of depreciation, impairment, retirement, scrapping,
obsolescence and sale of fixed assets will also be done at the accounting unit where asset
is physically located.
5. Organization: For the purpose of carrying out all the accounting work related to capital
expenditure, fixed assets and depreciation, one personnel of compilation section shall be made
responsible for asset accounting including planning and monitoring of physical verification of
assets.
6. Accounting Policies: The accounting policies to be followed for accounting of capital
expenditure and fixed assets are:
a. Fixed assets will be recorded in the books of accounts and disclosed in annual accounts at
historical cost. No revaluation of fixed assets will be done for adjusting its historical cost
to replacement cost, current cost etc. Similarly, depreciation will be charged on all
depreciable assets based on historical cost.
b. Any fixed asset, which can be put to use directly (e.g. computers, air conditioning
machine, vehicles etc.) should not be routed through CWIP but capitalised immediately
to avail depreciation benefits;
c. Capital Works-in-Progress will be capitalised when the asset is first commissioned and
put to use based on technical certificate from engineers to this effect;
d. Charge borrowing costs on loans borrowed specifically for construction and development
of qualifying assets upto the date of commercial operation including renovation and
modernization, to capital cost of the asset concerned and thereafter charge the borrowing
cost to revenue. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use. Capitalisation of borrowing costs would cease when
substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended
use or sale are complete.
e. Depreciation on depreciable assets is to be provided on straight line method at the rates
specified by Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Depreciation shall be
calculated upto 90% of the cost of the asset (except freehold land) and the balance 10%
will be considered as the residual value except in case of lease assets were 100%
depreciation shall be charged.
f. In case, assets are purchased/constructed/deduction during the year, proportionate
depreciation for that period shall be charged on a pro-rata basis commencing from/upto
the month following the month of purchase/completion or disposal.
g. Depreciation on assets, whose actual cost do not exceed Rs.5000/-, shall be provided at
the rate of 100% in the year of its acquisition/purchase.
h. Plant and machinery, loose tools and items of scientific appliances, included under
different heads of assets, costing Rs.5000/- or less, or where the written down value is
Rs.5000/- or less as at the beginning of the year, are charged off to revenue.
i. In case of any transfer of depreciable assets between the accounting units, the accounting
units shall charge proportionate depreciation based on the period of holding.
j. Any addition or improvement to a fixed asset that results in increasing the utility or
capacity or life of the asset shall be capitalised and included in the cost of fixed asset.
k. Expenditure in the nature of repairs and maintenance incurred to maintain the asset and
sustain its functioning or the benefit of which is for less than a year, shall be charged to
the revenue.
l. As demarcation of spare parts purchased subsequent to the commissioning of the asset,
between capital and revenue, is difficult, a list of spare parts which are to be treated as
Capital Expenditure is provided in Annexure-A. All other spares will be initially included
in inventory and charged to revenue as and when used.
m. Any fixed asset, which has been acquired free of cost or in respect of which no payment
has been made, shall be recorded at nominal value of Re. 1/-;
n. Any subsidies and grants towards cost of capital asset will be capitalised and credited to
capital reserve. This capital reserve shall be withdrawn proportionally to the extent of
depreciation on such asset charged during the year and credited to the P&L account;
o. The net trial run expenses (i.e. actual cost incurred during trial runs upto the date of
commercial operation less actual revenue earned from sale of infirm power) are to be
capitalised; any expenses incurred or the income arising beyond date of commercial
operation will be considered under revenue account;
p. Depreciation on depreciable assets used during construction period for construction
works is to be capitalised till the date of commissioning of the project and thereafter
charged to revenue;
q. In respect of freehold and leasehold land all expenditure on purchase, acquisition,
agreement fees, land development cost, compensation for trees and crops etc. are

capitalized under the cost of the land. Lease hold shall be amortized during the period of
lease. However, the leasehold acquired on the basis of perpetual lease shall not be
amortized.
r. Capital spares purchased along with the equipment prior to commissioning of the asset
will be capitalised along with the value of the asset for which the spares are purchased;
s. Any excess observed on physical verification of assets will be brought into books by
valuing each excess item at Re.1/- and by crediting to miscellaneous income account; in
case of assets not found on physical verification and established after investigation as
deficit, the written down value of these assets will be written off to the revenue account
and the original cost and accumulated depreciation on such assets will be withdrawn;
t. The capital asset or capital spare, whether in service or removed from service, which has
become obsolete shall be recognised at lower of net book value and net realizable value by
making a provision for loss due to obsolescence. This provision for obsolescence will be
adjusted at the time of disposal/ scrapping of such assets;
u. Expenditure on project identification, survey and feasibility studies incurred, before the
project is considered for sanction or rejection, will be accumulated in an account
provided for this purpose.
v. If the project is rejected, the entire expenditure will be charged to revenue as in fructuous
capital expenditure in the year in which the project is rejected; if the project is
sanctioned, the expenditure will be charged to Capital Works-in-Progress account for
that project; any subsequent expenditure after a project is sanctioned, will also be
charged to the Capital Works-in-Progress account for that project; the aggregate of the
expenditure incurred before and after sanction of a project will be allocated over the
tangible assets acquired/constructed on the basis of their direct costs.
w. In case of change in historical cost of an asset arising out of acceptance of escalation
claims of contractors, correction of errors in earlier accounting, supplementary bills by
suppliers/contractors and such other reasons, the depreciation shall be charged
prospectively.
x. Liability to supplier/contractor for capital assets will be created once the ownership of
capital items comprising the asset passes on to the company.
y. At the year end, the capital works completed by contractors in respect of which bills are
not received or received but not passed will be identified and certified by engineers and
provided for in accounts to create liability to contractors as ascertained on the basis of
the contract. In case of works in progress which has not reached a milestone, the
engineer shall measure the progress in the Measurement Book and estimate the value of
work done for which corresponding liability will be provided.
z. The estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed for capital works and not
provided for; shall be disclosed as a footnote to the Balance Sheet.
aa. At each balance sheet date an assessment will be made for any impairment of an asset
and carrying amount of an asset will be adjusted to the extent of impairment loss, if any,
and accounted for in the books as impairment loss.
bb. Fixed Assets created on land not belonging to the Company will not be included under
fixed assets and the capital expenditure on such assets shall be written off in the year of
its incurrence. For example, any road development expenditure on land not belonging to
Company will not be included under the asset head of ‘Roads, Bridges and Culverts’,
rather it will be written off in the year of its incurrence.
cc. Insurance claim for loss of profit are accounted for in the year of acceptance. Other
insurance claims are accounted for based on certainty of realization.

1. Do not charge any borrowing costs to the asset, where construction of assets involve no time
periods or involve insignificant time period for bringing the asset into usable condition. Such
assets are vehicles, furniture, office equipment etc.
2. Adopt the following principles for calculation and charging of borrowing costs to capital and
revenue:
a. Borrowing costs shall include the following:
i. interest and commitment charges on borrowings;
ii. amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings;
iii. amortisation of incidental costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of
borrowings;
iv. finance charges in respect of assets acquired under finance leases or under other
similar arrangements; and
v. exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that
they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
b. Borrowings mean funds that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the
qualifying asset had not been made.
c. To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a
qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation on that asset
should be determined as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during
the period less any income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.
d. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a
qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation should be
determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset. The
capitalization rate should be the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to
the borrowings of the enterprise that are outstanding during the period, other than
borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The amount
of borrowing costs capitalised during a period should not exceed the amount of
borrowing costs incurred during that period.
e. In case of completed items during the year, apply the capitalisation rate as calculated
above to the capital expenditure upto the month of completion/ commissioning of these
items.
f. In case of Capital Works-in-Progress, apply the capitalisation rate to the whole year's
expenditure
g. Capitalisation of borrowing costs should be suspended during extended periods in which
active development is interrupted.
3. Determine the total borrowing costs to be capitalized by adding the total of (e) and (f) above.
4. Work out the portion of borrowing costs to be charged to revenue by deducting the total amount
of borrowing costs charged to capital cost as in (h) from the total amount of borrowing costs
accrued/paid on borrowed loans charged to revenue account
5. Raise accounting entry number 1 as shown under accounting entries for transferring the
borrowing costs to capital work in progress.
6. Update the CWIP Register for the capitalisation of borrowing costs asset-wise in proportion to
time adjusted accretion to CWIP.

5.1. Provision for Depreciation
RESPONSIBILITY ACTION
Compilation Section
1. Deprecation shall be charged on depreciable assets as per the rates prescribed by JSERC on
historical cost of the assets.
2. When a change in the method of depreciation is made, depreciation should be recalculated in
accordance with the new method from the date of the asset coming into use. The deficiency or
surplus arising from retrospective re-computation of depreciation in accordance with the new
method should be adjusted in the accounts in the year in which the method of depreciation is
changed. In case the change in the method results in deficiency in depreciation in respect of
past years, the deficiency should be charged in the statement of profit and loss. In case the
change in the method results in surplus, the surplus should be credited to the statement of
profit and loss. Such a change should be treated as a change in accounting policy and its effect
should be quantified and disclosed in the financial statements.
3. Any addition or extension which becomes an integral part of the existing plant & machinery
should be fully depreciated over the remaining useful life of the original plant & machinery of
which it forms part and the depreciation shall be charged prospectively on such addition or
extension over the residual useful life of the asset of which it forms part.
4. Where an addition or extension retains a separate identity and is capable of being used
independently depreciation should be provided on such additions separately.
5. In case an asset permanently ceases to be used by the Company, depreciation shall be provided
on a pro-rata basis. Such asset shall be valued at lower of book value or net realizable value,
whichever is lower and shown separately in the financial statements under the head of fixed
assets.
6. Depreciation on small and low value items (i.e. assets whose actual cost does not exceed
Rs.5000/-) shall be fully depreciated in the year of its acquisition/purchase.
7. Pass the accounting entries number 1 and 2 as shown under accounting entries for the type of
activity shown against each.
8. Update the Fixed Assets Register with the amount of depreciation charged asset-wise.
9. The calculation of depreciation for the purposes of calculating of income tax liability will be
done in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act.

RESPONSIBILITY ACTION
Compilation Section
1. Objective of this activity is to prescribe the procedures that should be followed to ensure that
the assets are carried at no more than their recoverable amount in accordance with AS-28. An
asset is carried at more than its recoverable amount if its carrying amount (i.e. book value)
exceeds the amount to be recovered through use or sale of the asset. If this is the case, the asset
is described as impaired and the company should recognise an impairment loss.
2. The competent authority or a person authorized by him assesses at each balance sheet date
whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The indications include the
following:
a. an asset’s market value has declined significantly more than as expected as a result of the
passage of time or normal use
b. significant changes with an adverse effect on the company have taken place during the
period, or will take place in the near future, in the technological, market, economic or
legal environment;
c. market interest rates have increased which is likely to decrease the asset’s value using the
discounted return method
d. the carrying amount is more than the market capitalisation, once the company is listed in
a stock exchange
e. the asset has gone obsolete or got physically damaged
f. the nature of use of the asset is likely to change in the near future which includes
disposal, retirement from use, etc.
g. economic performance of an asset will be worse than expected
3. If there exists no indication of any of the above then there will be no impairment loss.
4. If any such indication exists, estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. Recoverable amount
is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use.
5. Estimate Net Selling Price of the asset which is the selling price of an asset in an arm’s length
transaction less costs of disposal.
6. Value in use is the estimate of future cash flows discounted with an appropriate discounting
rate to estimate the present value.
7. If the recoverable amount of an asset is more than its carrying amount, no impairment loss
should be recognised
8. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of
the asset should be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss.
The impairment loss should be recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss.
9. Reversal of impairment loss - Assess at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication
that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist
or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, estimate the recoverable amount of that
asset. In case the recoverable amount of the asset exceeds the carrying amount, reverse the
impairment loss and should be recognised as income in the statement of profit and loss.
