As per Ind AS 16 on Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE), an asset should be removed from the books when it is no longer useful—like when it is damaged or destroyed. In this case, a company faced a major fire that completely destroyed one of its manufacturing units. Although the assets were insured, the company had to deal with the loss, the insurance claim process, and the purchase of new equipment to replace what was lost.
The issue here is about how these events should be understood and presented in the company’s financial statements. There are three separate parts to the situation: first, the loss of the old assets; second, receiving compensation from the insurance company; and third, buying new assets. Each of these events happens at a different time and needs to be treated separately in the books. This story highlights how companies need to carefully handle such situations under the provisions of Ind AS 16.
