24 June 2008 First of all classifying a BUILDING WORK IN PROGRESS as a current asset is wrong... it is a CAPITAL ASSET ONLY... it must have been shwon under Fixed assets even though it is a WIP.

It is a self constructed asset... .so the cost of construction should be taken as the cost of building (Accounting Standard 10)

therefore......then one more thing... there is no chance of CAPITAL GAIN......

24 June 2008 Dear Sir,

If Suppose the Building is under construction and it is shown under Fixed Asset as Building Under Construction Can we claim depreciation on Building Under Construction or We have to Calculate depreciation after receiving the Completion certificate from Architect

24 June 2008 Building under construction is an capital asset of the company. Therefore, classified as fixed assets as WIP. The depreciation for the said assets is only after the building is completed.

The capital gain to the company arises, when the property is sold.
