Under Ind AS 105, a non-current asset is classified as HELD FOR SALE only when ALL of the following are met EXCEPT:

AThe asset has appreciated in market value relative to its carrying amount
BThe asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition
CManagement is committed to a plan to sell and an active programme to find a buyer has been initiated
DThe sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The asset has appreciated in market value relative to its carrying amount
Para 6-8 of Ind AS 105 — held-for-sale requires: committed plan + active marketing + available for immediate sale + highly probable + completion within 12 months. Asset value appreciation is NOT a criterion (and is irrelevant — held-for-sale measurement is lower of carrying amount and FV less costs to sell, so appreciation isn't reflected in carrying amount until disposal).
