Borrowing Cost- Specific Borrowing

UUdeshya6y ago
Greetings Sir, I have a question: In case of specific borrowing, if there is a situation where some amount the loan is not utilized for construction of qualifying asset. Should the interest on such unutilized part be charged to Profit or Loss or capitalized ? For eg: Loan : 100 mil. Interest: 10 mil. Unutilized Loan: 20 mil. Investment Income: 60,000 whether the interest on 20 Mil. should be expensed? And what will be the treatment of investment income? Thanks.

This is probably more relevant to FR than SBR. I would only capitalise interest on the utilised part of the loan. I would expense the rest.
