12. Recognition
CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants 12

13. Investment property shall be recognised as an asset
when, and only when:
◦ It is probable that the future economic benefits that are
associated with the investment property will flow to the
entity; and
◦ The cost of the investment property can be measured
reliably.
Recognition
13CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants

14. Measurement
CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants 14

15. An investment property shall be measured initially at its
cost. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial
measurement.
Cost includes
◦ Purchase Price
◦ Any directly attributable expenditure – Legal services, taxes, other
transaction cost
Does not include
◦ Initial estimate of dismantling cost
◦ Cost of bringing the asset to its intended place of use
Initial Measurement
15CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants

16. Leased Asset
The initial cost of a property interest held under a lease and
classified as an investment property shall be as prescribed
for a finance lease i.e. the asset shall be recognised at
◦ The fair value of the property; OR
◦ The present value of the minimum lease payments.
Whichever is Lower.
An equivalent amount shall be recognised as a liability
towards lease rentals
Initial Measurement
16CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants

17. ◦ An entity can choose as its accounting policy either the fair
value model or the cost model and shall apply that policy to all
of its investment property.
◦ After initial recognition, an entity that chooses the fair value
model shall measure all of its investment property at fair value.
Except for when the fair value of the investment property is
not reliably determinable on a continuing basis. Then, an entity
shall measure that investment property using the cost model
in IAS 16. The residual value shall be assumed to be zero. The
entity shall apply IAS 16 until disposal of the asset.
Subsequent Measurement
17CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants

18. Carve Out: Operating Lease – Investment
Property in books of lessee
IAS 40 permits treatment of property interest held
in an operating lease as investment property, if the
definition of investment property is otherwise met
and fair vale model is applied.
Since Ind AS 40 prohibits use of fair value model,
this treatment is prohibited in Ind AS 40.
18CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants

19. CA Pranav Joshi, Partner | P. G. Joshi & Co., Chartered Accountants
Subsequent Measurement
An entity shall adopt Cost Model as its accounting
policy and apply it to all of its investment property.
However, the standard requires all entities to
measure the fair value of Investment Property, for
the purpose of disclosure.

20. Transfers
Transfers to, or from, investment property shall be
made when, and only when, there is a change in
use.
