Pavan, I believe these are FOC assets for which your company does not have any accounting records except may be showing in FAR at Zero cost.
In this case, you have to first get your parent company's consent. Also, need to keep in mind about the STPI provisions pertaining to bonding-debonding of assets.
Once your parent company confirms back, you may dispose off the assets and treat the proceeds as miscellaneous incomes.
However, parent compnay has to adjust their books accordingly.
