DEAR SATISH,
THE LAND SHOULD BE SHOWN AT THE MARKET VALUE TO STATE THE CORRECT POSITION OF THE BALANCE SHEET.
FOLLOWING IS THE JV TO BE PASSED TO GIVE THE EFFECT IN THE BALANCE SHEET :-
LAND A/C DR. 1000000
TO GIFT A/C 1000000
(BEING LAND RECEIVED AS GIFT)
REGARDS,

Dear Devandra,
I dont think it is shown be under Gift account and showing the market value as it GIFT (without consideration) and more over it is not at all a income for the enterprise. if land is debited, land is brought in, & hw where is d corresponding liability created.......?????!!!

even as gift the land has to get transferred by registration instrument, and the price adopted by registrar as fair value would be considered as gift value.
an enterprise is not a person, so the gift would be passed through P/L account
however u can capirtalize it direct but u have to take back it again at computation sheet for addition of gift tax.

Land accounts naturally debited as Assets Comes in & Credit to Capital account/Reserve & Surplus accounts directly.

How can u directly credit Reserves & surplus A/c??
That Gift value is indirect income of that year & will be taxed..And must come in P & L A/c and thereafter Net profit of that year will be transferred to Reserves & surplus A/c..
