How to revalue the long-term investments?
What does AS 13 states for it?
I think AS 13 just states about the diminishing in the value of investments.
There is no priciple as such for revaluation of long term investments?

As per AS-13; in case there is a decrease in the value of long term investment which is of permanent nature :-
Loss in Long Term Investment a/c Dr To Respective Investment a/c
Transfer it to profit and loss account.
When there is any increase (may be above the cost of long term investment) then reverse the above entry and bring the Investment a/c to its original price.
Indicators of value of an investment -
1. Market Value 2. Assets and Results of Investee Co. 3. Type and extent of stake in the investee co.
