Dear friend, --Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by an enterprise in connection with the borrowing of funds. The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,construction or production of a qualifying asset are those borrowing costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been made. When an enterprise borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a particular qualifying asset, the borrowing costs that directly relate to that qualifying asset can be readily identified. As per para 4 of AS 16 on Borrowing Costs, borrowing costs may include: (a) Interest and commitment charges on bank borrowings and other short-term and long-term borrowings; . (b) Amortization of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings ; (c) Amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings; (d) Finance charges in respect of assets acquired under finance leases or under other similar arrangements; and (e) Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

The expenses for taking on a debt obligation that can involve interest payments and other financing fees. The borrowing cost for a business tends to go up when prevailing market interest rates are rising during times of economic expansion and increased inflation, even if its credit standing remains excellent. Borrowing cost may include interest expense calculated by the effective interest method under IAS 39, finance charges in respect of finance leases recognised in accordance with IAS 17 Leases, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs Thanks
