FOREWORD
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) through Accounting

Standards Board (ASB) has been relentlessly working towards establishing sound
financial reporting system in the Country. For this purpose, apart from formulation
of Accounting Standards, the ASB from time to time takes various necessary
initiatives to provide guidance for applicability of Accounting Standards and to
ensure successful and proper implementation of Accounting Standards.
Financial Statements prepared applying Accounting Standards results in providing

relevant and useful information to the users of financial statements. Therefore,
true and fair preparation and presentation of financial statements is an integral part
of good financial reporting system.
It has been noted that in recent times, LLP has become a preferred form of entity
since it is an alternative corporate business form that gives the benefits of limited
liability of a company and the flexibility of a partnership. Therefore, to provide
guidance on the applicability of Accounting Standards to LLPs and prescribing
formats for the preparation of the financial statements by such LLPs, the ASB had
issued Technical Guide on Financial Statements of Limited Liability Partnerships in
June 2022.
I am glad to share that to further enhance the quality, comparability and

comprehensiveness of the financial reporting by the LLPs, the ASB has come out
with the Guidance Note on Financial Statements of Limited Liability Partnerships. I
am confident that this Guidance Note would result in preparation of financial
statements of LLPs in a standardised manner thereby achieving the comparability
of financial statements of these entities.
I appreciate the contribution of CA. Pramod Jain, Chairman, ASB, CA. Abhay
Chhajed, Vice Chairman, ASB and all the members of the ASB in various activities
of the ASB and their endeavours in bringing out this Guidance Note.
I am sure that this Guidance Note would be useful for LLPs in preparing their
financial statements and also for professionals and other stakeholders in
discharging their duties.

PREFACE
The Limited Liability Partnership is a corporate form of entity incorporated under

the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. LLP is form of entity that offers the
benefits; limited liability of a company and the flexibility of a partnership. In 2021,
Limited Liability Partnership (Amendment) Act provided that standards of
accounting, as recommended by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India,
may be prescribed by the Central Government in consultation with the National
Financial Reporting Authority for a class or classes of Limited Liability
Partnerships. Following the aforesaid process, the Accounting Standards for LLPs
are in process of notification by the Central Government.
Currently for the purpose of preparation and presentation of the financial

statements, the LLPs need to apply Accounting Standards prescribed by the ICAI
for non-company entities. Considering the importance accorded to the LLP form of
structure in recent times, the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) of the ICAI, in
June 2022, issued a Technical Guide on Financial Statements of Limited Liability
Partnerships to prescribe guidance for applicability of Accounting Standards to
LLPs and to recommend formats of the financial statements for standardisation of
presentation of the financial statements by LLPs. The Technical Guide also
included Illustrative formats of Financial Statements for ease of the preparers.
Moving forward in the direction to further enhance the quality, comparability and
comprehensiveness of the financial reporting by the LLPs and providing
authoritative guidance to the members of ICAI, the ASB has upgraded the
Technical Guide into Guidance Note on Financial Statements of Limited Liability
Partnerships. The Guidance Note will enable the LLPs to communicate their
financial performance and financial position in standardised formats thereby
enhancing their comparability.
I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to our Honourable President, CA.

Aniket Sunil Talati, and Vice-President, CA. Ranjeet Kumar Agarwal, for providing
the opportunity to upgrade the Technical Guide into Guidance Note. I also
appreciate the support and assistance of Vice Chairman of ASB, CA. Abhay
Chhajed, in all the endeavours of the ASB. I also acknowledge the valuable
contribution of all the members of the ASB tin various activities of the ASB and
finalisation of this Guidance Note.
I thank and appreciate my Council Colleague CA. Vishal Doshi for his contribution
and support in this project. I also acknowledge the contribution of members of the
Study Group comprising CA. Padmashree Crasto, CA. Dimpy Khandhar, CA.
Vivek Newatia, CA. Rajesh Kumar Jain, CA. Manoj Kumar Mittal, CA. Kunal
Kapoor, CA. Mukesh Chhajed, CA. B. L. Agarwal, CA. Madhu Sudan Ladha, CA.
Asha Taneja, CA. Shreya Jain and CA. Neetika Khiwani.
I also acknowledge the support of CA. S.N. Gupta, Joint Director, Technical
Directorate, CA. Parminder Kaur, Secretary, ASB, and CA. Sonia Minocha, Deputy
Secretary, in bringing out this Guidance Note.
I strongly believe that the Limited Liability Partnerships would follow the formats
prescribed in the Guidance Note for preparation of their financial statements. I also
believe that the auditors of such LLPs’ financial statements would ensure that
these formats are followed in preparation of financial statements of LLPs.

Introduction
Background
The Parliament of India enacted the Limited Partnership Act 2008 to make provisions for
the formation and regulation of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). An LLP is a body
corporate formed and incorporated under LLP Act and is a legal entity separate from that
of its partners. The LLP is a corporate business form that gives the benefits of limited
liability of a company and the flexibility of a partnership. Since LLP contains elements of
both ‘a corporate structure’ as well as ‘a partnership firm structure’ LLP is called a hybrid
of a company and a partnership. The LLP Act allows existing private limited companies,
unlisted public limited companies and partnership firms to get themselves converted into
LLP.
An LLP shall be under obligation to maintain annual accounts reflecting true and fair view
of its state of affairs. A “Statement of Accounts and Solvency” in prescribed form shall be
filed by every LLP with the Registrar every year.
APPLICABILITY OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards contain wholesome principles of accounting and can be viewed as

standardised language of business to communicate high quality information in financial
statements based on principles of transparency, consistency and also comparability and
reliability. Accounting standards are a set of principles which entities follow while
preparing the financial statements providing a standardised way of describing the entity’s
financial position and financial performance.
Accounting Standards apply in respect of any entity engaged in commercial, industrial or

business activities. Exclusion of an entity from the applicability of the Accounting
Standards is permissible only if no part of the activity of such entity is commercial,
industrial or business in nature. Even if where a very small proportion of the activities of
an entity are considered to be commercial, industrial or business in nature, the Accounting
Standards would apply to all its activities including those, which are not commercial,
industrial or business in nature.
At present, there are three sets of Accounting Standards:

(i) Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) for specified class of companies;
1
(ii) Accounting Standards (AS) notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules,
2021, for companies other than those following Ind AS;
(iii) Accounting Standards (AS) prescribed by ICAI for entities other than companies.
(i) Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) for Companies
In view of global developments and importance of integrating local Accounting

Standards with global financial reporting standards, keeping in view the Indian legal
and economic scenario, IFRS converged Ind AS have been notified and are
applicable to all listed companies and listed Non-Banking Financial Companies
(NBFCs) and to unlisted companies and unlisted NBFCs with networth of INR 250
crores or more. Ind AS are also applicable to holding/subsidiaries/joint ventures/
associates companies of such companies.
(ii) Accounting Standards (AS) notified under Companies (Accounting Standards)

Rules, 2021 for companies other than those following Ind AS
Companies that are not covered under Ind AS, as given in paragraph above, are
required to apply Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act as
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021. As on date, Accounting Standards
(AS) 1 to 5, 7 and 9 to 29 are effective. As per the Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2021, Small and Medium Companies (SMCs) are given certain
exemptions/relaxations.
(iii) Accounting Standards (AS) prescribed by ICAI for entities other than
companies.
Limited Liability Partnership (Amendment) Act, 2021, has prescribed that the Central
Government may, in consultation with the National Financial Reporting Authority
constituted under section 132 of the Companies Act, 2013, prescribe the standards
of accounting as recommended by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
constituted under section 3 of the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, for a class or
classes of limited liability partnerships. The Accounting Standards for LLPs are yet to
be notified by the Central Government.
Hence, the Limited Liability Partnerships are applying Accounting Standards
prescribed by ICAI for the purpose of preparation and presentation of their financial
statements.
2
For the purpose of applicability of AS issued by the ICAI, non-company entities are
classified into four categories viz., Level I, Level II, Level III and Level IV non-
company entities. Level I non-company entities are required to comply fully with all
the AS. Level IV, Level III and Level II non-company entities are considered as
Micro, Small and Medium Sized Entity (MSMEs) that have been granted certain
exemptions/relaxations by the ICAI. The applicability of AS and
exemptions/relaxations thereof for MSMEs are given in Appendix A.
Compliance with Accounting Standards
Apart from requirements to comply with AS, as may be prescribed in relevant standards,
the ‘Preface to the Statements of Accounting Standards’, issued by the ICAI, lays down a
few critical principles, which are reproduced below, regarding compliance with Accounting
Standards:
“6.1 The Accounting Standards will be mandatory from the respective date(s)
mentioned in the Accounting Standard(s). The mandatory status of an Accounting
Standard implies that while discharging their attest functions, it will be the duty of the
members of the Institute to examine whether the Accounting Standard is complied with
in the presentation of financial statements covered by their audit. In the event of any
deviation from the Accounting Standard, it will be their duty to make adequate
disclosures in their audit reports so that the users of financial statements may be
aware of such deviation.
6.2 Ensuring compliance with the Accounting Standards while preparing the financial
statements is the responsibility of the management of the enterprise. Statutes
governing certain enterprises require of the enterprises that the financial statements
should be prepared in compliance with the Accounting Standards, e.g., the Companies
Act, 19561 (section 211), and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
(Preparation of Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report of Insurance Companies)
Regulations, 2000.
6.3 Financial Statements cannot be described as complying with the Accounting

Standards unless they comply with all the requirements of each applicable Standard.”
1 With regard to the reference to Companies Act, 1956, relevant section of Companies Act, 2013,
shall be referred.
3
In view of the above, the auditors are required to examine compliance with AS
while discharging their attest function.
Audit Requirements under LLP Act, 2008, and Rules thereunder
In accordance with the LLP Act 2008, the accounts of Limited Liability Partnership
shall be audited in accordance with the Rules prescribed under LLP Rules 2009.
The accounts of every LLP are required to be audited in accordance with Rule 24 of
the LLP Rules 2009. Proviso of such rule provides that any LLP, whose turnover does
not exceed, in any financial year, 40 lakh rupees, or whose contribution does not
exceed 25 lakh rupees, is not required to get its accounts audited. However, if the
partners of such LLP decide to get the accounts of such LLP audited, it shall be
audited in accordance with such rule.
The Auditor of an LLP is required to conduct the audit and issue the Auditors’ Report
in accordance with the Auditing Standards issued by the Auditing & Assurance
Standards Board of ICAI. Where tax audit is also applicable to a LLP, the auditor
should issue a report as required under the income Tax Act 1961 read with Income
Tax Rules 1962, taking into consideration the "Guidance Note on Tax Audit under
Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act, 1961” as issued and revised by the ICAI.
Objective and Scope of Guidance Note
In June 2022, t he Accounting Standards Board of ICAI has issued the Technical
Guide on Financial Statements of Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) to deal with
applicability of Accounting Standards to the LLPs and recommending formats of the
financial statements for the LLPs.
The Accounting Standards Board has now prescribed the formats for the presentation of
the financial statements of LLPs in the form of Guidance Note, which were earlier issued
as a part of Technical Guide. The objective is to standardise the formats of financial
statements for these entities and to enhance the quality and comprehensiveness of the
financial reporting by these entities.
4
Effective Date
This Guidance Note is effective for financial statements covering periods beginning on
or after April 1. 2024. The Technical Guide on Financial Statements of Limited
Liability Partnerships stands superseded by this Guidance Note.

Chapter II
Financial Statements
What Are Financial Statements?
Financial statements form part of the process of financial reporting. A complete set of
financial statements normally includes:
 a balance sheet,
 a statement of profit and loss,
 a cash flow statement (where applicable) and
 those notes and other statements and explanatory material that are an integral part
of the financial statements.
The notes also include significant accounting policies as required by applicable

Accounting Standards. They may also include supplementary schedules and information
based on or derived from, and expected to be read with, such statements. The objective
of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, performance
and cash flows of an entity.
Few critical principles prescribed in the ‘Framework for the preparation and presentation
of Financial Statements’, issued by the ICAI, are reproduced below:
Financial Position, Performance and Cash Flows
15. The economic decisions that are taken by users of financial statements require an
evaluation of the ability of an entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and of the
timing and certainty of their generation. This ability ultimately determines, for example, the
capacity of an entity to pay its employees and suppliers, meet interest payments, repay
loans, and make distributions to its owners. Users are better able to evaluate this ability to
generate cash and cash equivalents if they are provided with information that focuses on
the financial position, performance and cash flows of an entity.
16. The financial position of an entity is affected by the economic resources it controls,
its financial structure, its liquidity and solvency, and its capacity to adapt to changes in the
environment in which it operates. Information about the economic resources controlled by
the entity and its capacity in the past to alter these resources is useful in predicting the
ability of the entity to generate cash and cash equivalents in the future. Information about
financial structure is useful in predicting future borrowing needs and how future profits and
6
cash flows will be distributed among those with an interest in the entity; it is also useful in
predicting how successful the entity is likely to be in raising further finance. Information
about liquidity and solvency is useful in predicting the ability of the entity to meet its
financial commitments as they fall due. Liquidity refers to the availability of cash in the
near future to meet financial commitments over this period. Solvency refers to the
availability of cash over the longer term to meet financial commitments as they fall due.
17. Information about the performance of an entity, in particular its profitability, is

required in order to assess potential changes in the economic resources that it is likely to
control in the future. Information about variability of performance is important in this
respect. Information about performance is useful in predicting the capacity of the entity to
generate cash flows from its existing resource base. It is also useful in forming
judgements about the effectiveness with which the entity might employ additional
resources.
18. Information concerning cash flows of an entity is useful in order to evaluate its
investing, financing and operating activities during the reporting period. This information is
useful in providing the users with a basis to assess the ability of the entity to generate
cash and cash equivalents and the needs of the entity to utilise those cash flows.
19. Information about financial position is primarily provided in a balance sheet.

Information about performance is primarily provided in a statement of profit and loss.
Information about cash flows is provided in the financial statements by means of a cash
flow statement.
20. The component parts of the financial statements are interrelated because they
reflect different aspects of the same transactions or other events. Although each
statement provides information that is different from the others, none is likely to serve only
a single purpose nor to provide all the information necessary for particular needs of users.
Notes and Supplementary Schedules
21. The financial statements also contain notes and supplementary schedules and other
information. For example, they may contain additional information that is relevant to the
needs of users about the items in the balance sheet and statement of profit and loss. They
may include disclosures about the risks and uncertainties affecting the entity and any
resources and obligations not recognised in the balance sheet (such as mineral reserves).
Information about business and geographical segments and the effect of changing prices
on the entity may also be provided in the form of supplementary information.
7
Chapter III
Balance Sheet
Information about financial position is provided through balance sheet. The elements
directly related to the measurement of financial position in the balance sheet are assets,
liabilities and equity.
Items Included in the Balance Sheet
As per the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements,
issued by the ICAI:
49. The elements directly related to the measurement of financial position are assets,
liabilities and equity. These are defined as follows:
(a) An asset is a resource controlled by the enterprise as a result of past events from
which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the enterprise.
(b) A liability is a present obligation of the enterprise arising from past events, the
settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise of
resources embodying economic benefits.
(c) Equity is the residual interest in the assets of the enterprise after deducting all its
liabilities.
The definitions of an asset and a liability identify their essential features but do not attempt
to specify the criteria that need to be met before they are recognised in the balance sheet.
Thus, the items are recognised as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet if they satisfy
the criteria for recognition as specified in the relevant Accounting Standards and, if there
is no specific Accounting Standard, as specified in the said Framework.
The formats of financial statements prescribed in the Guidance Note use the term
‘partners’ funds’ in place of ‘equity’ considering that some of the items of ‘partners’ funds’
may not strictly meet the definition of ‘equity’.
8
Chapter IV
Statement of Profit and Loss
Statement of Profit and Loss is one of the three important elements of the financial
statements used for reporting an entity’s financial performance over a specific accounting
period. It is also known as the ‘Income Statement’ or ‘Profit & Loss Account’. The
Statement of Profit and Loss primarily focuses on an entity’s income and expenses during
a particular period.
As per the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements ,
issued by the ICAI:
68. Profit is frequently used as a measure of performance or as the basis for other
measures, such as return on investment or earnings per share. The elements directly
related to the measurement of profit are income and expenses. The recognition and
measurement of income and expenses, and hence profit, depends in part on the concepts
of capital and capital maintenance used by the enterprise in preparing its financial
statements.
69. Income and expenses are defined in the Framework as follows:
(a) Income is increase in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of
inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in increases in
equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants.
(b) Expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form
of outflows or depletions of assets or incurrences of liabilities that result in decreases in
equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants.
The definitions of income and expenses identify their essential features but do not attempt
to specify the criteria that need to be met before they are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. Criteria for recognition of income and expenses are prescribed in relevant
Accounting Standards and, if there is no specific Accounting Standard dealing with the
item, the recognition criteria prescribed in the Framework may be referred.
9
Chapter V
Cash Flow Statements
As per AS 3, Cash Flow Statements, a cash flow statement, when used in conjunction
with the other financial statements, provides information that enables users to evaluate
the changes in net assets of an enterprise, its financial structure (including its liquidity and
solvency) and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash flows in order to adapt to
changing circumstances and opportunities. Cash flow information is useful in assessing
the ability of the enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalents and enables users to
develop models to assess and compare the present value of the future cash flows of
different enterprises. It also enhances the comparability of the reporting of operating
performance by different enterprises because it eliminates the effects of using different
accounting treatments for the same transactions and events.
For non-company entities, AS 3 provides that financial statement of Micro, Small and
Medium sized Enterprises (Level IV, Level III and Level II non-company entities), may not
include cash flow statements, i.e., preparation of cash flow statement is not mandatory.
Such entities are, however, encouraged to comply with this standard.
The cash flow statement reconciles the income statement with the balance sheet in three
major business activities. The three components of the cash flow statement are listed
below.
a) Operating Activities
Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the enterprise
and other activities that are not investing or financing activities. The operating
activities in the Cash Flow Statement include any sources and uses of cash from
running the business and selling its products or services. Cash from operations
includes any changes made in cash, accounts receivable, depreciation, inventory,
and accounts payable. These transactions also include wages, income tax
payments, interest payments, rent, and cash receipts from the sale of a product or
service.
b) Investing Activities
Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other
investments not included in cash equivalents. Investing activities include any
sources and uses of cash from an entity’s investments into the long-term future of
the entity.
10
Purchases of fixed assets such as property, plant, and equipment (PPE) are
included in this section. In short, changes in equipment, assets, or investments
relate to cash from investing.
c) Financing Activities
Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of
the owners’ capital and borrowings of the enterprise. Cash from financing activities
include the sources of cash from investors or banks, as well as the uses of cash paid
to shareholders. Financing activities include debt issuance, loans, and repayments
of debt.

Appendix A
Announcement
Criteria for classification of Non-company entities for applicability

of Accounting Standards
The Council, at its 400th meeting, held on March 18-19, 2021, considered the matter
relating to applicability of Accounting Standards issued by The Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI), to Non-company entities (Enterprises). The scheme for
applicability of Accounting Standards to Non-company entities shall come into effect in
respect of accounting periods commencing on or after April 1, 2020.
1. For the purpose of applicability of Accounting Standards, Non-company entities are

classified into four categories, viz., Level I, Level II, Level III and Level IV.
Level I entities are large size entities, Level II entities are medium size entities,
Level III entities are small size entities and Level IV entities are micro entities. Level
IV, Level III and Level II entities are referred to as Micro, Small and Medium size
entities (MSMEs). The criteria for classification of Non-company entities into
different levels are given in Annexure 1.
The terms ‘Small and Medium Enterprise’ and ‘SME’ used in Accounting Standards
shall be read as ‘Micro, Small and Medium size entity’ and ‘MSME’ respectively.
2. Level I entities are required to comply in full with all the Accounting Standards.
3. Certain exemptions/relaxations have been provided to Level II, Level III and Level
IV Non-company entities. Applicability of Accounting Standards and
exemptions/relaxations to such entities are given in Annexure 2.
4. This Announcement supersedes the earlier Announcement of the ICAI on
‘Harmonisation of various differences between the Accounting Standards
issued by the ICAI and the Accounting Standards notified by the Central
Government’ issued in February 2008, to the extent it prescribes the criteria for
classification of Non-company entities (Non-corporate entities) and applicability of
Accounting Standards to non-company entities, and the Announcement ‘Revision
in the criteria for classifying Level II non-corporate entities’ issued in January
32
2013.
5. This Announcement is not relevant for Non-company entities who may be required
to follow Ind AS as per relevant regulatory requirements applicable to such entities.
6. The changes arising from this Announcement will be incorporated in the
Accounting Standards while publishing the updated Compendium of Accounting
Standards.
33
Annexure 1
Criteria for classification of Non-company Entities as decided
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
Level I Entities
Non-company entities which fall in any one or more of the following categories, at the
end of the relevant accounting period, are classified as Level I entities:
(i) Entities whose securities are listed or are in the process of listing on any stock
exchange, whether in India or outside India.
(ii) Banks (including co-operative banks), financial institutions or entities carrying on
insurance business.
(iii) All entities engaged in commercial, industrial or business activities, whose turnover
(excluding other income) exceeds rupees two-fifty crore in the immediately
preceding accounting year.
(iv) All entities engaged in commercial, industrial or business activities having
borrowings (including public deposits) in excess of rupees fifty crore at any time
during the immediately preceding accounting year.
(v) Holding and subsidiary entities of any one of the above.
Level II Entities
Non-company entities which are not Level I entities but fall in any one or more of the
following categories are classified as Level II entities:
(i) All entities engaged in commercial, industrial or business activities, whose turnover
(excluding other income) exceeds rupees fifty crore but does not exceed rupees
two-fifty crore in the immediately preceding accounting year.
(ii) All entities engaged in commercial, industrial or business activities having
borrowings (including public deposits) in excess of rupees ten crore but not in
excess of rupees fifty crore at any time during the immediately preceding
accounting year.
(iii) Holding and subsidiary entities of any one of the above.
34
Level III Entities
Non-company entities which are not covered under Level I and Level II but fall in any
one or more of the following categories are classified as Level III entities:
(i) All entities engaged in commercial, industrial or business activities, whose turnover
(excluding other income) exceeds rupees ten crore but does not exceed rupees fifty
crore in the immediately preceding accounting year.
(ii) All entities engaged in commercial, industrial or business activities having
borrowings (including public deposits) in excess of rupees two crore but does not
exceed rupees ten crore at any time during the immediately preceding accounting
year.
(iii) Holding and subsidiary entities of any one of the above.
Level IV Entities
Non-company entities which are not covered under Level I, Level II and Level III are
considered as Level IV entities.
Additional requirements
(1) An MSME which avails the exemptions or relaxations given to it shall disclose (by
way of a note to its financial statements) the fact that it is an MSME, the Level of
MSME and that it has complied with the Accounting Standards insofar as they are
applicable to entities falling in Level II or Level III or Level IV, as the case may be.
(2) Where an entity, being covered in Level II or Level III or Level IV, had qualified for
any exemption or relaxation previously but no longer qualifies for the relevant
exemption or relaxation in the current accounting period, the relevant standards or
requirements become applicable from the current period and the figures for the
corresponding period of the previous accounting period need not be revised merely
by reason of its having ceased to be covered in Level II or Level III or Level IV, as
the case may be. The fact that the entity was covered in Level II or Level III or
Level IV, as the case may be, in the previous period and it had availed of the
exemptions or relaxations available to that Level of entities shall be disclosed in the
notes to the financial statements. The fact that previous period figures have not
been revised shall also be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
(3) Where an entity has been covered in Level I and subsequently, ceases to be so
35
covered and gets covered in Level II or Level III or Level IV, the entity will not
qualify for exemption/relaxation available to that Level, until the entity ceases to be
covered in Level I for two consecutive years. Similar is the case in respect of an
entity, which has been covered in Level II or Level III and subsequently, gets
covered under Level III or Level IV.
(4) If an entity covered in Level II or Level III or Level IV opts not to avail of the
exemptions or relaxations available to that Level of entities in respect of any but not
all of the Accounting Standards, it shall disclose the Standard(s) in respect of which
it has availed the exemption or relaxation.
(5) If an entity covered in Level II or Level III or Level IV opts not to avail any one or
more of the exemptions or relaxations available to that Level of entities, it shall
comply with the relevant requirements of the Accounting Standard.
(6) An entity covered in Level II or Level III or Level IV may opt for availing certain
exemptions or relaxations from compliance with the requirements prescribed in an
Accounting Standard:
Provided that such a partial exemption or relaxation and disclosure shall not be
permitted to mislead any person or public.
(7) In respect of Accounting Standard (AS) 15, Employee Benefits, exemptions/
relaxations are available to Level II and Level III entities, under two sub-
classifications, viz., (i) entities whose average number of persons employed during
the year is 50 or more, and (ii) entities whose average number of persons
employed during the year is less than 50. The requirements stated in paragraphs
(1) to (6) above, mutatis mutandis, apply to these sub-classifications.

the Standard. Such entities should disclose actuarial assumptions as
per paragraph 120(l) of the Standard; and
(d) recognition and measurement principles laid down in paragraphs 129

Non-company entities irrespective of number of employees are exempted

of the accounting year; and
(d) recognition and measurement principles laid down in paragraphs 129
to 131 of the Standard in respect of accounting for other long-term

statements of immediate previous accounting period, shall be adjusted

(vii) AS 26, Intangible Assets

Paragraphs 90(d)(iii); 90(d)(iv) and 98 relating to disclosures are not applicable to
Level IV Non-company entities.
(viii) AS 28, Impairment of Assets

(a) Level II and Level III Non-company entities are allowed to measure the
‘value in use’ on the basis of reasonable estimate thereof instead of
computing the value in use by present value technique. Consequently, if
Level II or Level III Non-company entity chooses to measure the ‘value in
use’ by not using the present value technique, the relevant provisions of
AS 28, such as discount rate etc., would not be applicable to such an
entity. Further, such an entity need not disclose the information required by
paragraph 121(g) of the Standard.
(b) Also, paragraphs 121(c)(ii); 121(d)(i); 121(d)(ii) and 123 relating to

(ix) AS 29, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (revised 2016)
Paragraphs 66 and 67 relating to disclosures are not applicable to Level II, Level III
(A) In case of Level IV Non-company entities, generally there are no such
transactions that are covered under AS 14, Accounting for Amalgamations, or
jointly controlled operations or jointly controlled assets covered under AS 27,
Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures. Therefore, these standards
are not applicable to Level IV Non-company entities. However, if there are any
such transactions, these entities shall apply the requirements of the relevant
standard.
AS 21, Consolidated Financial Statements, AS 23, Accounting for Investments in
Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements, AS 27, Financial Reporting of
43
Interests in Joint Ventures (to the extent of requirements relating to Consolidated
Financial Statements), and AS 25, Interim Financial Reporting, do not require a
Non-company entity to present consolidated financial statements and interim
financial report, respectively. Relevant AS is applicable only if a Non-company
entity is required or elects to prepare and present consolidated financial
statements or interim financial report.
