The document examines the accounting treatment of an exchange transaction involving de-recognition of Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) and recognition of freehold land under the Ind AS framework. It addresses the critical question of whether the transaction should have been recognized in F.Y. 2019-20 when the exchange agreement was executed, or deferred to F.Y. 2022-23 when the Revenue Department issued a formal ratification order.
The analysis focuses on whether the freehold land received in exchange for leasehold land should have been recognized at fair value immediately upon the exchange transaction, given that the company had possession and control over the asset, with only procedural ratification pending. It further evaluates whether the land given in exchange should have been derecognized in the same financial year, considering that the transfer of control had already occurred. Additionally, the document assesses whether the associated Right of Use (RoU) asset and lease liability should have been removed from the company’s financial records under Ind AS 116, Leases.
Furthermore, it examines the financial impact of the exchange transaction, including any resulting gain/loss from de-recognition in compliance with Ind AS 16 Property, Plant & Equipment.
