This document provides an analysis of the classification of a portion of a shared office complex under Ind AS 40, focusing on the two floors in Tower B utilized by the Parent Company. The issue arises from differing interpretations of whether the property should be classified as Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) or Investment Property, considering the rental arrangement introduced through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Key provisions of Ind AS 40, such as the primary intent of property use, dual-use criteria, and separability of portions, are discussed. The document delves into the Company’s justification for administrative use, audit concerns about classification, and the practical challenges posed by inseparability of portions under the existing leasehold arrangement. The analysis ensures that the treatment of such dual-use properties is aligned with Indian accounting standards while addressing operational realities.
