On disposal of the investment, consolidated profit and loss account will include the transactions till the date the parent-subsidiary relationship ceases to exist. The difference between the proceeds from the disposal of investment and the parent’s share in the net asset of the subsidiary on the basis of the carrying amount, on the date of disposal is recorded in the consolidated profit and loss account. While calculating the share of parent in the net asset of the subsidiary on the date of disposal, adjustment is made for the minority interest calculated as above.

The carrying amount of the investment at the date that it ceases to be a subsidiary is regarded as cost thereafter.
