Asset Recognition/Capitalization
Policy

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the University becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument; the particular recognition methods
adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.
The University derecognizes the financial assets and liabilities when it ceases to be a
party to such contractual provisions of the instruments. The University recognizes
the regular way purchase or sale of financial assets using settlement date accounting.
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. Cost of tangible assets consists of historical cost and other
directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to working condition.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a
separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the University and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to income and
expenditure account during the year in which they are incurred.

Impairement of Assets

An assessment is made at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment or reversal of previous impairment, including items of
property and equipment. In the event that an asset's carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognized in the income and expenditure
account. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however not to an
amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of
depreciation), had no impairment losses been recognized for the asset in the prior
years. Reversal of impairment loss is restricted to the original cost of the asset.

Assets Disposal/Derecognition Policy

An item of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future

economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income and expenditure
account in the year the asset is derecognized.
Disposal must be in accordance with procedure agreed by the Finance and Planning
Committee. The Local Disposal Committee will be constituted by the Rector (for
BU) and Heads of CUs in case of CU. The Committee will comprise of a
Chairperson & two members. The Chairperson Local Disposal Committee will not
be below the status of Director/equivalent.

Disposal of lands and buildings will take place only with the prior authorization of
