Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

Leases are classified as Financial Lease & Operating Lease.
Under IFRS(IAS 17)& Indian GAAP(AS 19) -

A Lease is a Finance Lease if it transfers substantially all
the risks & rewards incident to the ownership.

All Other Leases are classified as Operating Leases.

Under Finance Lease the Lessee Accounts the Asset and claims
depreciation & The Asset will not appear in the books of the
Lessor.
Under Operating Lease the Assets will be shown in the books
of the Lessor & the Lease payments will be treated as Income
in his book. Where as the Lessee shows the lease payments as
expenses.

The treatment of different types of Leases & their sub-types
my differ as per GAAP of any other country. For detailed
