In case of conflict, requirements of Companies Act or Accounting Standards will prevail over revised Schedule VI. In my view, accordingly, as per AS-13, long term investments (including current portion thereof) are carried at cost less diminution in value (other than temporary) determining separately for each investment, and should be shown as 'current portion of long term investments' .

Hi sunil kumar
I think your query is why to show some long term investments(current maturities) in current investment, while valuations rules as per AS 13 are different for long term & current investments...
Answer is Rev Schdule VI deals with only presentation NOT valuations
you need to view both in isolation , valuations are governed as per their rules & presentations is a different matter ,
presentation made for better understanding of FS & valuations rules made for accurate results
And i have done analysis of Rev. sch VI its most focus on current , non current segragation of all FS items........

Let me be more clear on my question.
We are presenting investments named as "current investments" and "non current investments". And we are presenting current investments as defined by schedule VI. But what are current investments, is also defined by AS13. So when u present a particular item which is not defined as per standard together with items defined by standard does it give correct picture.
And normally while presenting, we mention accounting policies and we say that the current investments are valued as per cost or market value which ever is less. So in this case current investments are not really current invesments as per AS. How we are going to value those investments??
