Borrowing costs incurred for qualifying assets are capitalised. These are the costs which would have been avoided if the qualifying asset was not constructed.

So it means if a company takes a loan of ₹1 00,00,000 @10% p.a interest rate on 1st April 2023 to construct a factory but the factory construction has been delayed for one year due to some reasons, so here the interest for the delayed period(1st apr. 2023 to 31st Mar. 2024)₹1000000 should be avoided ie., it should not be capitalised.Am I right? If yes then how should we treat the delayed period interest of ₹10,00,000.shall we take it as abnormal loss?

If delay is due to abnormal reasons, than you should expense it

Okay Sir
