Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Remeasure to FV ₹1,50,000 with the ₹50,000 difference recognised as a gain in P&L (per Ind AS 109 FVTPL applies once investment-entity status begins)
Ind AS 27 paragraph 11C: when an entity becomes an investment entity, investments in subsidiaries are measured at FVTPL under Ind AS 109 from that date; the step-up gain/loss is recognised in P&L. If prior measurement was FVOCI, any cumulative OCI is reclassified to P&L (as if disposed).
