FAQ
How many accounting standards are there in IND-AS?

The naming and numbering of IND-AS are the same as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These standards are recommended by the National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). MCA determines and informs the accounting standards applicable for businesses in India. As of now, MCA has notified 41 IND-AS.

Is IND-AS applicable to all entities in India?
MCA has notified a phase-wise merging of IND-AS with current accounting standards. IND-AS shall be adopted by specific categories of businesses based on their Net worth and listing status.

Phase I
IND-AS is compulsorily applied to all companies from 1st April 2016, given that:

  • It’s a listed or unlisted company.
  • Its net worth is ₹500 crore* or more.
  • Net worth shall be determined based on the records of the previous three Financial Years (2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16).

  • Its net worth is ₹250 crore* or more, but less than ₹500 crore (for any of the below-mentioned periods).

Can we adopt IND-AS voluntarily?

Yes. Organizations have a choice to voluntarily incorporate IND-AS in their reports for accounting periods starting on or after April 01, 2015. Such entities must include a comparative report for the periods ending 31 March 2015 or thereafter, where IND-AS have been incorporated to present a comparative view.
However, once you start reporting as per the IND AS, you cannot go back to reporting as per previous laws.

What are the advantages of adopting IND-AS?
  • Providing service to international clients: Professionals knowledgeable in IFRS/IND-AS are better positioned to serve global clients in consultancy, bookkeeping outsourcing services, etc.
  • Comparability: IFRS is considered a universal standard because most developing, as well as developed nations, have adopted IFRS, and because IND-AS are based on and substantially merged with IFRS, it enhances the comparability of Financial Statements at the global level.
  • Funds worldwide: Adopting IND-AS increases accessibility and reduces the cost of capital raised from capital markets across the globe. This is because IFRS is now globally recognized as a financial reporting framework for raising funds from global capital markets.
How to calculate Net Worth?

Net worth is determined based on standalone accounts of an organization as on 31st March of a year or the first audited period ending after that date. Net worth is the total of paid-up capital and all reserves out of securities premium account and profit, after deducting accrued losses, deferred expenses, and miscellaneous expenses not written off. You can include only the capital reserve coming from promoters’ contributions and government grants received. But, you cannot include the reserves coming from revaluation of assets and written back depreciation.
