06 October 2013 generally finsihed products are discarded when obsolete/destroyed.But even in this case you should realise something as scrap value which may well be a nominal amount.
But as you said that you are discarding all goods at nil value,then it should be a revenue loss to be written off in p&l and accordingly your inventory value will be decreased.Lets wait for other experts opinion on the same
