11 October 2011 The amount should be disclosed as loans and advances and not as investments.

The nature of the share application money is never as an investment. It is just a deposit lying with the company, as The share application money is not really invested in shares. It is an advance against issue of shares.

12 October 2011 As per my opinion they must be classified under "Other Current Assets" as per new Schedule VI,

the opinion of other experts is invited on the issue.

The share application money does not fall in the category of advance in my opinion as advance is given for the certain execution of a work/contract in future. when the execution is uncertain, that whether the contact will be done or not is an advance against issue of shares as rightly quoted by Mr. Sumit but to be classified under oTHER CURRENT ASSETS.

the opinion of other experts is invited on the issue.
