Q&A
Q - Why do we classify Financial Assets held for Cash
flows and Capital Appreciation as Fair Value through
OCI and as Fair Value through P&L?
A – If the Financial Assets held for sale are with an
entity on the reporting date, any gain/loss by change in
the FV of the Financial Asset is only notional. It is not
actual gain. And thus it is not part of the P&L A/c.
