My view is, crediting the capital account is more appropriate accounting treatment

Agree with Mr. Sampat,
crediting Capital A/c would be more appropriate...

Sanjay sir if u say that ganesh babus entry is correct then you not following the accounting principle and technically if shares are assets then how come it can be an indirect income??????????
since sharesfulfill the defintion of "asset"
then it cannot be first taken to indirect income though later it will be transfered to capital a/c.
the question is not of final effect , the question of reflecting true and fair view of accounting and following correct accounting treatment.
hence ganesh babu's entry is fundamentally only wrong.

Dear Tushar please say which accounting standard has been violated.
Shares are Investment but when these are received as gift without any consideration then such gift is an Income and shown as Gift Received under Indirect income.
Ganeshbabu you could have proved your point by citing the example of Shares received as gift from non relatives amounting to FMV more than Rs 50000/-. If FMV of shraes receved from Non relative is more than Rs 50000/- than the entire amount is taxable. So what would be the entry in that case?
You have to show the entire amount as Indirect Income and pay Tax on it. So no way you can show direct transfer to Capital A/c.
The amount will be shown as Indirect Income. Anything received as gift is Income to the Assessee.
When gifts are tax exempted a direct entry gto capital account is also passed but passing the entry as suggested by Ganeshbabu is also correct and is not in violation of any accounting Principles.
I stand with my view that both the entries are correct. Please seek any further clarification if required.
Awaiting your replies.

Firstly dear sanjay gupta accounting treatment and tax treatment are different aspects and you cannot mix it at time of booking enrty.
Follow AS 13 it is in respect of "Accounting of Investments" and nowhere it has even mentioned that gifts should be first transferred to indirect income as there is no income at all infact income will be earned from such gifted shares and shares are asset as per the definiton by ICAI -can also refer accounting principle on booking assets in books of accounts.

Dear Tushar please tell where is accounting standard it is written that if you get an Investment without any consideration then the said gain will not be passed through P/L account.
Also please state the entries which you will pass when the Shares are received from Non Relative with FMV more than 50000/-.
Tax Treatment and Accounting treatment are not same but the concept is same. Also state any deviation from Accounting Principles/Standards with proper extracts of the said principle/standard based on which you have said that the entry as suggested by Ganeshbabu is wrong.

my answer to your question is simple tell me whether shares are assets or not?
if yes the simply it cannot go to indirect incomes as assets are those resources which are owned by entity and with the intention to earn revenue from it.
Tax treatment is not to be invoked while passing any accounting entry so lets not debate on it.
shares received from non relative are to be shown under investments only and if there is no cash outflow then capital account is appropriate.

Shares A/c are real accounts as classified under accounting concepts, principles and accounting conventions.
All real accounts never got to Profit and loss a/c.

Most imp u justify how it is an indirect income????
i showed it how it is an asset as it falls in definition of assets.
Moreover only items of exp, provisions and income are respectively debited and credited to profit and loss a/c......
so when it not an income only then how it can go to profit and loss a/c thus in the light of above explanation it is appropriate to credit capital a/c.

Also refer AS -14" Accounting for amalgamation"
where shares are not given for cash and shares are credited to transferor company's shareholders a/c.
for details accounting pls refer book by DS Rawat it has mentioned many eg on this.

Dear Tushar you are mixing it up.
See the entry.
Investment in Shares A/c Dr
To Gift Received.
Here Shares are not going to P/L, Shares are going to balance sheet only. The gain part is being shown in P/L A/c...So dont get confused.

sir im not getting confused,
indirect income is also written besides gift received a/c.
To my knowledge indirect incomes never goes to bal sheet, it goes to profit and loss a/c

Investment is going to Balance Sheet

sir pls understand even if its gift it is not an exp nor an income as it doesnt fall in ambit or definition of income , sir u can ask any1 as it is an asset received in gift without consideration, assets never first go to P&L fundamentally speaking.
07 October 2013
No problem with any accounting standard or principle,,if it is let me know with para no.
.
.
And my intention in writing by entry was,, i want to show that shares received was gift(income),, and indirect income,,
.
.
my entry will give effect as below
.
Asset side increased with investment
.
.
Once you transferd the profit(gifts recd) to capital it will added back to capital,,which consequently increases liability side
.
.
Hence the effect would be same
.
.
No need to break our heads with this however it is individual and it is fine with any of the above entry,,only difference of opinion...but effect of both will be same and enough for individuals book keeping
.
.
only difference is tushar ji has given credit directly to capital account
.
.
i showed it as income(gift from relative is exempt from tax,and need to disclose in income tax return)how can you say there is no income?
and later transfered to capital which i feel more appropriate
.
.
Thanks..

My question still unanswered:
1) Which accounting Principal/Standard has been violated or which para of the said standard has been violated. I have checked both AS-13 & AS-14. In fact both AS-13 & AS-14 are not related with treatment of Gift.
2) What will be the entry when Shares received from non relative with FMV more than Rs 50000/-.

Dear Tushar my focus is on both the aspects.
Link seen. I never said that your treatment was wrong. But the entry as suggested by Ganeshbabu is not wrong, too. I gave all explanations in support of my answer. If you want any type of clarification then i am ready to explain. I still can not understand why you think that the entry suggested by Ganeshbabu is wrong?

Both Entries are correct in my view,
But Tushar ji's entry is more appropriate..
as the gift of shares was made by the mother..
If the gift were received from non-relative then I think Tushar ji answer will be in question...

Dear Tushar please behave like a professional. Arguments and deliberation are not bad. Its exchange of views and knowledge. No one is perfect. Each person has his opinion but the same should be properly supported with logic and principles.
You should not say that go and ask ICAI to anyone. Please end this here as this is taking a bad shape.
I QUIT.

In the past; many used to gift OUTSIDERS and the "amount" was directly credited to the Capital Account.
.
At that time the definition of relatives was not required.
.
Now Act defines who are your relatives.
.
( In reality; the situation may not be so - we had experienced how two Ambani brothers "behaved" with each other in the past).
.
Coming back -
In those days; there was no need to show the Gift in the Profit and Loss Account which is now-a-days have come into practice due to amendments in law.

A property may come into the hands by way of either a gift or will.
.
.
In both the cases; the cost is NIL to the receiver.
.
.
Now the "participants" are required to answer what would be the treatment in Accounting when the property comes into the hands of the receiver through a will.
.
.
Hope you will get the right answer automatically.

THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT :
.
.
If something is INCOME (direct or indirect) for one then generally it is accepted that it is EXPENSE for the other.
.
Example :
.
Salary is income for the salaried person and expense for the employer.
.
Right?
.
.
Can we say "donor" has made any "expenditure" if he has "gifted" his property to someone?
.

THE CONCEPT IN INCOME-TAX :
.
.
When the "gifts" are not flowing from the relatives; means these are "adjusted" income of the assessee and the same should be assessed to tax.
.
.
In the past; many assessees took undue benefit of provisions of GIFT TRANSACTIONS.
.
.
To curb such practices; the term "relatives" has been defined.

Surendra sir 1 request to you...just need a last clear cut accounting entry which is correct as asked by the queriest so that at last all becomes well ...
11 October 2013
in case of assets get devolved through will then it is as good as capital introduced but without any flow of cash directly in business but by way of inheritance and in such case in my view still it will go to Capital a/c only...
Conclusion for the entry will be..
Investment in Shares a/c...Dr
To Capital A/c.

@ Tushar,
Please read carefully all my posts.
.
From the above; it is crystal clear that your accounting treatment is 100% accurate.
.
What others are following is now acceptable according to the amendments made in the income tax and majority are concerned with Income-Tax. Otherwise many are not "interested" to maintain books of account.
.
However; it is also true that we are supposed to maintain books of account on the basis of ACCOUNTING STANDARDS; and not as per Income Tax Act.
.
Various "WEIGHTED" deductions, non-deduction of expenses, allowances etc. are taken into account while preparing the TAX RETURNS hence BOOKS OF ACCOUNT can never give the results which will directly give the AMOUNT OF GROSS TOTAL INCOME.
