Answer / bharadwaj
P&L debit balance means loss.
Why loss shown on assets side???
Ans always will be write off in future which means future
profit retained with company in the name of write off.
unless write off the profit is to be given to share holder,
as the profit is not given to share holders and retained n
future profits, P&l debit balance is treated as Asset
