As per AS - 16 borrowing costs spent to purchase an asset which has long gestation period or takes time to being put to use can be capitalised.
If the asset purchased is ready to use at the time of purchase then no borrowing cost can be capitalised.
So upfront fee of loan and interest on loan cannot be treated as Borrowed costs for purchase of machine ready to use
If the asset purchased is ready to use at the time of purchase then no borrowing cost can be capitalised.

is it not incidental expenses to capitalise as per AS 10?
29 January 2010
Incidental expenses are expenses which are incurred to bring the asset to its present location and use.
Fees paid for loan facility or interest cannot be treated as incidental expenses to put the machinery for use
Fees paid for loan facility or interest cannot be treated as incidental expenses to put the machinery for use

That means we have to charge off the interest if the interest relates to the period Date of Purchase of Machinery and Date of put to use. Is it Right?

Borrowing cost as per AS - 16 can be capitalised only on qualifying asset
A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
Explanation:
What constitutes a substantial period of time primarily depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. However, ordinarily, a period of twelve months is considered as substantial period of time unless a shorter or longer period can be justified on the basis of facts and circumstances of the case. In estimating the period, time which an asset takes, technologically and commercially, to get it ready for its intended use or sale is considered.
If the above condition is satasfied then the same can be capitalised, otherwise not.
