1.) I am preparing accounts of proprietary firm . There is capital shown as Rs 50,000
and first year loss is more than capital . Then how should I transfer net loss to his capital accounts.
2.) If preliminary expenses show in balance sheet then loss reduced but more than capital Rs 5000
Is it necessary to show preliminary expenses

Yes preliminary expenses needs to be shown as Other current liability and written off in 5 years if all conditions fulfilled as per section 35D

and yes you have to transfer loss to capital even if its more than capital and write off loss in future years as per specified

preliminary  expenses should be  under  Mics expense not written off  on  the Asset  side  not as current  liability   It is not liability to payas  we have alrady paid  & should written off in 5 Years . please confirm 

Preliminary expenses will be written off as per section 35D.

Yes it will be under Miscellaneous expense in other current liability
