I am confused with 2 heads in statement of profit and loss... what is the difference b/w 2 heads namely cost of material consumed and Purchases of stock in trade.. In which head I have to show purchases in case of trading concerns..

If it is the case of trading concern then the head " Cost of materail consumed" is not applicable to you. You will just have to show purchase of goods under "purchase of Stock in trade".

Direct expense will be booked under direct expense only and one more item will be there called " Increse/Decrease in Stock in trade". both of them will be separate line items in P&L Statement.
