in coachings i studied that losses prior to incorporation are capital losses and shown under the head miscallenous exp in BS but as per rev schedule vi we have to debit the expense in p and l itself
so in case we find loss prior to incorporation should it be written off in the current year and reduce the profit of current year???

No it should appear under the head other current assets to be written off in number of years as may be decided by the company or if it is capital in nature then work in progress to debited
