Dear Narendra,
The profit or loss of pre-incorporation period is transferred to Capital Reserve because it is not the profit of the company. Profit earned prior to incorporation of company is always t/f to Capital Reserve.
As you know that the period is divided into two parts:-
- Pre-Incorporation Period and
- Post-Incorporation Period
Profit or Loss earned in Post period is only the profit of the company. Hence. t/f to profit & loss A/C.
In simple words,
Pre -period mein kamaya hua profit - PAPA ka hai (i.e., Inheritable)
But Post -Period mein kamaya hua profit - Beta ka hai (i.e., Khud ka)- Company Ka
I hope this will help in order to understand the concept.
