Intangible Assets (Toll Road) created under Build, Operate and Transfer, Build, Own, Operate and Transfer or any other form of Public Private Partnership Route. Amortization Rate = Amortization Amount x 100 Cost of Intangible Asset (A) Amortization Amount = Cost of Intangible Asset (A) X Actual Revenue for the year (B) Projected Revenue from Intangible Asset (till the end of the concession period) (C) 2. Meaning of particulars are as follows:- Cost of Intangible Asset (A) = Cost incurred by the Company in accordance with the Accounting Standards. Actual Revenue for the year (B) = Actual Revenue (Toll Charges) received during the accounting year. Projected Revenue from Intangible Asset (C) = Total Projected Revenue from the Intangible Asset as provided to the Project Lender at the time of financial closure/agreement. The amortization amount or rate should ensure that the whole of the cost of the intangible asset is amortized over the concession period. Total Revenue shall be reviewed at the end of each financial year and the projected revenue shall be adjusted to reflect any changes in the estimate which will lead to the actual collection at the end of the concession period. 3. For Example:‑ Cost of creation of Intangible Assets ₹ 500/- Crores Total period of Agreement 20 Years Time use for creation of Intangible Assets 02 Years Intangible Assets to be amortized in 18 Years Let us assume that the Total revenue to be generated out of Intangible Assets over the Period would be ₹ 600 Crores, in the following manner:- Year No. Revenue (In Rs. Crores) Remarks Year 1 5 Actual Year 2 7.5 Estimate* Year 3 10 Estimate* Year 4 12.5 Estimate* Year 5 17.5 Estimate* Year 6 20 Estimate* Year 7 23 Estimate* Year 8 27 Estimate* Year 9 31 Estimate* Year 10 34 Estimate* Year 11 38 Estimate* Year 12 41 Estimate* Year 13 46 Estimate* Year 14 50 Estimate* Year 15 53 Estimate* Year 16 57 Estimate* Year 17 60 Estimate* Year 18 67.5 Estimate* Total 600 * will be actual at the end of financial year. Based on this the charge for first year would be ₹ 4.16 Crore (approximately) (i.e. ₹ 5/₹ 600 X ₹ 500 Crores) which would be charged to profit and loss and 0.83% (i.e. ₹ 4.16 Crore/₹ 500 Crore X 100) is the amortization rate for the first year. ] W.D.V.: means Written Down Value. S.L.M.: means Straight Line Method.

Where, during any financial year, any addition has been made to any asset, or where any asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed, the depreciation on such assets shall be calculated on a pro rata basis from the date of such addition or, as the case may be, up to the date on which such asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed. 5. The following information should also be disclosed in the accounts: ( i ) depreciation methods used; and ( ii ) depreciation rates or the useful lives of the assets, if they are different from the principal rates specified in the Schedule. 6. The calculations of the extra depreciation for double shift working and for triple shift working shall be made separately in the proportion which the number of days for which the concern worked double shift or triple shift, as the case may be, bears to the normal number of working days during the year. For this purpose, the normal number of working days during the year shall be deemed to be- ( a ) in the case of a seasonal factory or concern, the number of days on which the factory or concern actually worked during the year or 180 days, whichever is greater; ( b ) in any other case, the number of days on which the factory or concern actually worked during the year or 240 days, whichever is greater. The extra shift depreciation shall not be charged in respect of any item of machinery or plant which has been specifically, excepted by inscription of the letters N.E.S.D.
