Dear Experts

The query which I'm posting is related to accounting treatment for waiver of loans specifically waiver of principal amounts.

Lets say A Ltd. took a loan for financing fixed assets and later on A Ltd. turned into loss making company.

Lender i.e. financial institution waiver off certain portion of principal and interest. Now the query is what should be the accounting treatment of waiver of principal in the books of A Ltd.

MY FRIEND MR. HITESH REPLIED WELL ON WHY PROVIDE DEPR.
BUT I WONDER HOW MANY COMPANIES SET ASIDE THE AMOUNT SEPARATELY OR IN AN IDENTICAL WAY TO REPLACE THE ASSET ON BEING WORN OUT?
NOT MAJORITY COMPANIES.
SO THE QUESTION IS ECXCEPT TO REDUCE PROFITS AND PAY LESSER TAXES , THE REAL OBJECTIVE OF REPLACING AN ASSET ON BEING WORN OUT IS NOT ACHIEVED.
THUS EVEN THE CONCEPT OF CONTINUITY OF BUSINESS IS NOT FULLY ACHIEVABLE FOR A GOING CONCERN IF WE CANNOT FIND FUNDS TO REPLACE AN ASSET WHEN DUE.
IS NOT IT TIME TO MAKE IT MANDATORY TO SET ASIDE DEP. PROVIDED IN SEPARATE OR IDENTIFIABLE WAY TO COME TO OUR rescue?
