If car is purchased then it should b shown as asset and respective liablity should b shown seperately .......
Only yearly depreciation can b written off to p&l.......

Thanks for the reply.
Let me give a situation:
A company enters in to contract with the customer to provide certain services. As a part of service, car need to be provided to customer. The company get a capex loan for purchasing the car. Now the car has to be invoiced to customer. In this scenario, whether company needs to capitalise or charge it off against the revenue received from customer.

Thanks Radhika. But clarify, once the car is invoiced to customer. how to show the same in the B/S.
Let me explain the case:
As per the service contract with customer, the company is supposed to invoice the car to customer.
Purchase of various assets along with car is funded by bank through capex loan.
I am invoicing the car to customer as part of the contract. Once it is invoiced, it need not be part of the company asset.
In this scenario, can the company show a capex loan without the asset that is invoiced to customer.

Thanks Radhika, will explain u further, its a construction contract. As per the contract, the company need to provide cars to customer....Company gets a loan towards various equipment required for construction. Along with that the car is purchased. It is getting invoiced to customer...Pls Mind..it is AS 7 based accounting.. Sales is recognised to the extent of cost incurred with margin under percentage of completion method. whether invoiced to customer or not,the company need to recognise sales for the car provided to customer.
Suggest pls.. Capitalise or charge it off...
