When a company (or any legal entity) is of the opinion that the value of an asset has appreciated (or) depreciated much than the recorded historical value, revaluation of asset is undertaken. This necessitates us to create an account known as "revaluation A/c". It is understood that, the outcome of revaluation may be a gain (or) loss. As per Golden rule of Accounting, revaluation a/c is a nominal a/c since the a/c measures the gain (or) loss of the asset.
