“Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and
excellence”
The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not.
“Excellence” is drive from inside, not outside, excellence is not a singular act but a
habit. You are what you repeatedly do.

 IAS 36 : IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
OBJECTIVE OF IAS 36 :
The objective of this Standard is to
prescribe the procedures that an entity
applies to ensure that its assets are
carried at no more than their recoverable
amount. An asset is carried at more than
its recoverable amount if its carrying
amount exceeds the amount to be
recovered through use or sale of the
asset. If this is the case, the asset is
described as impaired and the Standard
requires the entity to recognize an
impairment loss. The Standard also
specifies when an entity should reverse
an impairment loss and prescribes
disclosures.
APPLICABILITY :
IAS 36 applies in general to all tangible and intangible non-financial
assets, including:
! Property, plant and equipment, irrespective of whether carried at
cost or revalued amount under IAS 16;
! Goodwill arising on an acquisition, accounted for under IAS 22;
Investments in Subsidiaries, accounted for under IAS 27;
! Investments in Associates, accounted for under IAS 28;
! Interests in Joint Ventures, accounted for under IAS 31;
! Intangible assets, accounted for under IAS 38; and
! Investment property measured at cost, under IAS 40
! Property, plant and equipment, irrespective of whether carried at
cost or revalued amount under IAS 16;
! Goodwill arising on an acquisition, accounted for under
IAS 22;
! Investments in Subsidiaries, accounted for under IAS 27;
IAS 36 does not apply to the following assets covered under other
accounting standards :
! Inventories (IAS 2, Inventories, measured at the lower of cost and
net realisable value);
! Assets arising from construction contracts (IAS 11 requires
determination of recoverable amount albeit on an undiscounted
basis);
! Deferred income tax assets (IAS 12 applies);
! Assets arising from employee benefits (IAS 19 specifies that an
upper limit of such assets be determined on a discounted basis
broadly compatible with IAS 36);
! Financial assets included in the scope of IAS 32;
! Investment property measured at fair value (IAS 40 applies); and
! Biological assets measured at fair value (once IAS 41 becomes
effective).
KEY DEFINITIONS :
Fair value : the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's
length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties less the cost
of disposal. The Cost should be incremental Disposal Costs - which are
directly attributable to the disposal of an asset.
Value in use : the discounted present value of the future cash flows
expected to arise from :
! the continuing use of an asset, and from
! its disposal at the end of its useful life
Impairment of loss : impairment of loss occurs only when Carrying
Amount > Recoverable amount. If an impairment loss is recognized, any
related deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined in accordance
with IAS 12 by comparing the revised carrying amount of the assets
with its tax base. [IAS 38.64]
IDENTIFYING AN ASSET THAT MAY BE IMPAIRED :
At each balance sheet date, review all assets to look for any indication
that an asset may be impaired (its carrying amount may be in excess of
the greater of its net selling price and its value in use). IAS 36 has a list of
external and internal indicators of impairment. If there is an indication
that an asset may be impaired, then you must calculate the asset's

recoverable amount.
The recoverable amounts of the following types of intangible assets
should be measured annually whether or not there is any indication
that it may be impaired. In some cases, the most recent detailed
calculation of recoverable amount made in a preceding period may be
used in the impairment test for that asset in the current period :
! an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life
! an intangible asset not yet available for use
! goodwill acquired in a business combination
The impairment test in these circumstances may be carried out at any
time during the period, provided that it is carried out at the same time
each period.
RECOGNITION OF AN IMPAIRMENT LOSS :
! An impairment loss should be recognized whenever recoverable
amount is below carrying amount. [IAS 36.59]
! The impairment loss is an expense in the income statement (unless
it relates to a revalued asset where the value changes are
recognized directly in equity). [IAS 36.60]
! Adjust depreciation for future periods. [IAS 36.63]
REVERSAL OF IMPAIRMENT LOSS :
! Same approach as for the identification of impaired assets: assess
at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that an
impairment loss may have decreased. If so, calculate recoverable
amount. [IAS 36.110]
! No reversal for unwinding of discount. [IAS 36.116]
! The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more
than what the depreciated historical cost would have been if the
impairment had not been recognized. [IAS 36.117]
! Reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income in the
income statement. [IAS 36.119]
! Adjust depreciation for future periods. [IAS 36.121]
! If the reversal of the impairment is in relation to a cash-generating
unit, then the reversal is recognized on a pro-rata basis with the
carrying amount of the assets, excluding goodwill. [IAS 36.122]
! Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited. [IAS
36.124]
DISCLOSURE by class of assets: [IAS 36.126] :
! impairment losses recognized in profit or loss
! impairment losses reversed in profit or loss
! which line item(s) of the statement of comprehensive income
! impairment losses on revalued assets recognized in other
comprehensive income
! impairment losses on revalued assets reversed in other
comprehensive income
Disclosure by reportable segment: [IAS 36.129]
! impairment losses recognized
! impairment losses reversed
Other disclosures :
If an individual impairment loss (reversal) is material disclose: [IAS
36.130]
! events and circumstances resulting in the impairment loss
! amount of the loss
! individual asset: nature and segment to which it relates
! cash generating unit: description, amount of impairment loss
(reversal) by class of assets and segment
! if recoverable amount is fair value less costs to sell, disclose the
basis for determining fair value
! if recoverable amount is value in use, disclose the discount rate
If impairment losses recognized (reversed) are material in aggregate to
the financial statements as a whole, disclose : [IAS 36.131]
! main classes of assets affected
! main events and circumstances
Disclose detailed information about the estimates used to measure
recoverable amounts of cash generating units containing goodwill or
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. [IAS 36.134-35]

Contd. from December 2010 CIRC Newsletter….
A DOZEN OF ISSUES ON SECTION 50 C OF INCOME TAX ACT
2.5 Whether section 50C is
mandatory? How can
assessee prevent himself
from the rigors of section
50C?
Assessee may sell his
property below the guideline
value for various reasons,
some of which are: -
1. Title is disputed.
2. L a n d h a s i n h e r e n t
problems like it is on slope or inner side of colony etc.
3. Surroundings are not palatable; there is a nearby
railway line or high-tension line or hospital or a
factory etc.
4. Urgent need of funds.
In such a case, the question becomes important whether
section 50C would be still applicable. U/s. 50C(2),
assessee has two defenses against the application of
section 50C: -
a) Assessee can challenge the stamp valuation before
the Stamp valuation authority; or in alternative,
b) Assessee can apply to the AO for making a reference
to the District Valuation Officer (DVO). On such
application by assessee, the AO may make a
reference to DVO.
In determining the Fair Market Value (FMV), the DVO
shall follow the provisions of sections 16A(2) to (6),
23A(1)(i), 23A(6) and 23A(7), 24(5), 34AA, 35 and 37 of
Wealth-tax Act, 1957.
It has been held in N. Meenakshi 226 CTR 625 (Mad.) that
once the assessee applies to AO for making reference to
DVO u/s. 50C, “may” becomes “shall”. Therefore, if
assessee applies, AO shall make reference to DVO. It is
not optional for AO to make reference to DVO. It was held
that right of assessee u/s. 50C is a valuable statutory
right available to protect his interest against arbitrariness
which may creep in while fixing the value of capital gain
and it is the safeguard given to the assessee. The said
right is more effective in cases where the parties to the
document have not taken any steps to defend or to
initiate proceedings under Stamp law. [Jitendra Mohan
Saxena 117 TTJ 974 (Trib. Luck.)]
Further, in Jitendra Mohan Saxena 117 TTJ 974 (Trib.
Luck.), it was held that both the remedies u/s. 50C are
alternative. If guideline value has been challenged before
the stamp valuation authority, same cannot be again
challenged before the AO. In other words, assessee can
challenge the guideline value before AO only if he has not
challenged the same before stamp valuation authority.
[Mohd. Shoib 127 TTJ 459 (Luck.)]
2.6 Assessee sold his property below the guideline value.
Only those who do nothing do not make mistakes
– CA. Ashish Goyal
E-mail: ashishgoyalg@yahoo.com
Assessee asked the AO to make valuation of property.
DVO valued the property at a figure more-or-less similar
to what was the guideline value. Whether still section
50C would be attracted?
Although not much research has been done on this
aspect, I may submit that in an array of decisions in
respect to section 55A and 142A, it has been held that
Report of the DVO is not sacrosanct. It is only estimation.
It has been held in Santosh Kumar Dalmia 208 ITR 337
(Cal.) that valuation is only a matter of opinion and
valuation differs from valuer to valuer, depending on the
facts and circumstances of each case. The valuer's report
is after all a statistical hypothesis that leaves wide room
for error on either side. [Bhola Nath Majumdar (1996)
221 ITR 608 (Gau.); Kamalam Rajendran 129 Taxman 840
(Mad.); Abdul Mazid 178 ITR 616 (MP)]
Therefore assessee can give report of his Authorised
Valuation Officer (AVO) and can also challenge the
valuation on merit. This view further finds support by a
direct decision in Waqf Alal Aulad (2010) 37 SOT 58 (Del.)
the DVO had given deduction of 33% on account of
encumbrances in tenancy while computing Market Value
u/s. 50C. Matter was remanded back to AO to allow
proper time to assessee to rebut the DVO's report. See
also Ravi Kant (2007) 110 TTJ 297 (Del.), where the DVO
made the valuation at Circle rates, which are not
indicative of market rates. It was held that such an
approach will render exercise u/s. 50C(2) a meaningless
ritual and an empty formality. In such a case, the DVO's
report should be based on consideration stated in the
registration documents for comparable transactions, as
also factors such as inputs from other sources about the
market rates.
Further, one can argue that if there is an acceptable
margin, say upto 15% in the actual consideration and
valuation of DVO, same should be ignored and no
addition should be made. [Rahul Construction 38 DTR 19
(Pune)]. Reliance is further placed on C.B. Gautham 199
ITR 530 (SC).
2.7 Assessee sold a land for Rs. 10 lacs. However, u/s. 50C,
the Full Value of Consideration was treated as Rs. 19
lacs. Whether, for claiming exemption u/s. 50F, assessee
should invest Rs. 10 lacs or Rs. 19 lacs?
As per the latest decision in Gyan Chand Batra 133 TTJ
482 (Jp.), the "full value of consideration" for section 50C
shall be the guideline value. Section 50C creates a fiction
and replaces the “full value of consideration” u/s. 48 with
the guideline value. Such fiction cannot be extended to
section 54F. Reinvestment u/s. 54F shall be done only of
actual consideration. In given example, assessee shall
only invest Rs. 10 lacs. The decision needs to be highly
appreciated, as the assessee may not be in a position to
reinvest Rs. 19 lacs since he received only Rs. 10 lacs.

5
2.8 Compare the provisions of section 50C with section
56(2)(vii).
As on date, section 50C and section 56(2)(vii) operate in a
totally different fields:
a) Section 50C will apply to seller, if he transfers an
immovable property (being capital asset) without
adequate consideration. This transfer may be to a
relative or to a non-relative. For the buyer, the cost is
actual cost of acquisition and not the guideline
value.
b) Section 56(2)(vii) apply to a buyer, if he receives an
immovable property (being capital asset) without
consideration. This is taxable only if it is received
from a non-relative. For the buyer, the cost is the
guideline value considered for the purpose of
section 56(2)(vii). [One may note that this is in
contradiction to section 49, whereby in case of asset
received under a gift, the cost is cost of previous
owner]
2.9 Assessee becomes a partner aof the firm. He gives his
house as capital contribution to firm. Value recorded in
books of firm is Rs. 30 lacs. Guideline value is Rs. 45 lacs.
Section 45(3) states that full value of consideration for
the partner shall be the value recorded in the books.
However, section 50C states that the full value of
consideration shall be guideline value. Whether section
45(3) or section 50C would be attracted?
This issue came for consideration in a latest decision in
Carlton Hotel P Ltd. (2009) 122 TTJ 515 : 35 SOT 26 (Luck.).
In that case, it was held that in such situation, section 50C
would override section 45(3). Section 45(3) is a general
provision and section 50C is a special provision which
would override section 45(3) if the sale deed is sought to
be registered by paying stamp duty. Hence, in the given
case, the partner transferring his house to the firm would
be subjected to capital gain by taking sale consideration
at Rs. 45 lacs.
2.10 Assessee sold a building which was depreciable asset.
Can section 50C be applied.
As held in ACIT vs Roger Pereira Communications P Ltd.
34 SOT 64 (Mum.), section 50C cannot be applied as
section 50 is a special provision for computation of
depreciable assets which are covered by block of assets
concept. [see also Panchiram Nahata 127 TTJ 128 (Kol)]
2.11 Assessee sold the immovable property by way of
transfer u/s. 53A of Transfer of Property Act, 1882, on
10.03.2010. At that time the guideline value was Rs. 40
lacs. Subsequently, the property is registered on
12.05.2013. On that date, the guideline value becomes
Rs. 150 lacs. Whether sale consideration shall be Rs. 40
lacs or Rs. 150 lacs?
CONDOLENCE....
CIRC deeply mourn the said demise of CA. Vijay Kumar Dodia (M. No. 085567) of Pali. He passed away
in a road accident on 28th Nov. 2010. His wife and son were also with him in the same car and both of
them were injured. We pray to almighty that the departed noble soul may rest in eternal peace.
f
You won`t get a second chance to make the first impression
One may note that transfer of a capital asset is taxable
under the head Capital Gains on the date of transfer.
Section 50C is merely a computation provision. Section
50C shall apply to compute the income under the head
capital gains. Section 50C therefore applies at the time of
transfer. Therefore, in my view, guideline value on the
date of transfer shall be applicable. Registry is a post-
transaction event. The same should not have value for
computation of capital gains u/s. 50C.
One may note that such an issue was for consideration in
one of the cases in Smt. Meera Somasekaran (2010) 4 ITR
(Trib) 271 (Chennai). In this case, it was held that assessee
should bring evidence on record to show that all the
conditions of section 53A of Transfer of Property Act are
satisfied at the time of agreement.
Further, in Kaushik Sureshbhai Reshamwala 39 SOT 357
(Ahd.), assessee transferred agricultural land in March
2006 u/s. 53A of Transfer of Property Act, but the
registration could be done only in F.Y. 2007-08. AO
adopted the market value instead of stamp value u/s.
50C. It was held that section 50C applies only to
computation of capital gains in real estate transaction.
Therefore, even on the date of transfer u/s. 53A, section
50C would apply and AO cannot adopt a higher figure on
the plea that registry was done belatedly. It was further
held that AO had no evidence otherwise to adopt a
higher value than the guideline value.
In M. Siva Parvathi 129 TTJ 463 (Visakha), the issue was
whether section 50C would apply to transfers which
were entered into prior to insertion of section 50C, but
registry was done after the insertion of section 50C. It
was held that section 50C shall not be applicable. This
decision can be taken as a help for argument that
“transfer” is different from section 50C, which is merely
computation provision; and the computation is done at
the time of transfer.
2.12 Whether addition u/s. 50C would necessarily mean that
assessee has “concealed” the income or “furnished
inaccurate particulars thereof” and therefore penalty
u/s. 271(1)(c) should be levied?
As held in ACIT vs N. Meenakshi (2009) 125 TTJ 856
(Chennai), penalty cannot be levied in such a case, as
there is no 'concealment or furnishing of inaccurate
particulars'. Also see Prakash Chand Nahar 110 TTJ 886
(Jodh.); Balkrishna Waghere & Others, July/ Aug, 2010,
BCAJ, 3 (Pune).
3.0 Conclusion
To sum up, section 50C is a specific section creating a
deeming fiction. The section is only for the purposes
where there is underhand dealing. The section should be
applied only with reference to the context for which it
was introduced.
