(a) As per paragraph 33 of Ind AS 1, offsetting is permitted only when the offsetting
reflects the substance of the transaction.
In this case, the agreement/arrangement, if any, between the holding and subsidiary
company needs to be considered. If the arrangement is to reimburse the cost incurred
by the holding company on behalf of the subsidiary company, the same may be presented
net. It should be ensured that the substance of the arrangement is that the payments
are actually in the nature of reimbursement.
(b) Paragraph 35 of Ind AS 1 requires an entity to present on a net basis gains and losses
arising from a group of similar transactions. Accordingly, gains or losses arising on
disposal of various items of property, plant and equipment shall be presented on net
basis. However, gains or losses should be presented separately if they are material.
(c) Ind AS 1 prescribes that assets and liabilities, and income and expenses should be
reported separately, unless offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction. In
addition to this, as per paragraph 42 of Ind AS 32, a financial asset and a financial
liability should be offset if the entity has legally enforceable right to set off and the
entity intends either to settle on net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
In accordance with the above, the receivable and payable should be offset against each
other and net amount is presented in the balance sheet if the entity has a legal right to

set off and the entity intends to do so. Otherwise, the receivable and payable should be
reported separately.
An entity manufactures passenger vehicles. The time between purchasing of underlying raw
materials to manufacture the passenger vehicles and the date the entity completes the
production and delivers to its customers is 11 months. Customers settle the dues after a period
of 8 months from the date of sale.
(a) Will the inventory and the trade receivables be current in nature?
(b) Assuming that the production time was say 15 months and the time lag between the date
of sale and collection from customers is 13 months, will the answer be different?
Summary
Detailed Solution
Inventory and debtors need to be classified in accordance with the requirement of paragraph
66(a) of Ind AS 1, which provides that an asset shall be classified as current if an entity expects
to realise the same or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle.
(a) In this case, time lag between the purchase of inventory and its realisation into cash is
19 months [11 months + 8 months]. Both inventory and the debtors would be classified as
current if the entity expects to realise these assets in its normal operating cycle.
(b) No, the answer will be the same as the classification of debtors and inventory depends
on the expectation of the entity to realise the same in the normal operating cycle. In
this case, time lag between the purchase of inventory and its realisation into cash is
28 months [15 months + 13 months]. Both inventory and debtors would be classified as
current if the entity expects to realise these assets in the normal operating cycle.
Additional information as required by paragraph 61 of Ind AS 1 will be required to be
made by the entity, which provides “Whichever method of presentation is adopted, an
entity shall disclose the amount expected to be recovered or settled after more than
twelve months for each asset and liability line item that combines amounts expected to
be recovered or settled:
(a) No more than twelve months after the reporting period, and
(b) More than twelve months after the reporting period.”

IND AS 2 : INVENTORIES
Whether the following costs should be considered while determining the Net Realisable Value (NRV) of the
inventories?
(a) Costs of completion of work-in-progress;
(b) Trade discounts expected to be allowed on sale; and
(c) Cash discounts expected to be allowed for prompt payment
Summary
Detailed Solution
Ind AS 2 defines Net Realisable Value as the “estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale.”
Costs of completion of work-in-progress are incurred to convert the work-in-progress into
finished goods. Since these costs are in the nature of completion costs, in accordance with the
above definition, the same should be deducted from the estimated selling price to determine
the NRV of work-in-progress.
Trade Discount is “A reduction granted by a supplier from the list price of goods or services
on business considerations other than for prompt payment”. Trade discount is allowed either
expressly through an agreement or through prevalent commercial practices in the terms of the
trade and the same is adjusted in arriving at the selling price. Accordingly, the trade discount
expected to be allowed should be deducted to determine the estimated selling price.
Cash Discount is “A reduction granted by a supplier from the invoiced price in consideration
of immediate payment or payment within a stipulated period.” These types of costs are incurred
to recover the sale proceeds immediately or before the end of the specified period or credit
period allowed to the customer. In other words, these costs are not incurred to make the sale,
therefore, the same should not be considered while determining NRV.

Reference: Unrealised foreign exchange items are non-cash in nature & hence should be reversed
from the net profit. As the effect for these items has already been considered in the non-cash
adjustments, we will not again give affect while adjusting trade payable in operating
assets / liabilities adjustment. The closing trade payable, in the B/S are 90L. However, we can
alternatively ignore the unrealised forex gain from the non-cash adjustment. In such a
case, we should take the trade payables after adjusting the forex gain. In both cases, the final
answer remains the same.
Preparation of cash flow in case these is a business acquisition during the year
In case cash is paid for a business combination, it is considered to be an investing activity &
hence the net cash paid for this acquisition (cash paid – cash taken over) should be taken as a
part of cash flow from investing activities (C.F.I).
Further, for each item of the selling company which is taken over, we will calculate the net
changes by comparing the closing balance with the adjusted opening balance.
i.e. Closing Inventory - [Opening inventory + inventory acquired on business cementation]

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ERRORS
While preparing interim financial statements for the half-year ended 30 September 2012, an
entity discovers a material error (an improper expense accrual) in the interim financial statements
for the period ended 30 September 2011 and the annual financial statements for the year ended
31 March 2012. The entity does not intend to restate the comparative amounts for the prior
period presented in the interim financial statements as it believes it would be sufficient to
correct the error by restating the comparatives in the annual financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 2013. Is this acceptable? Discuss in accordance with relevant Ind AS.
Summary
Detailed Solution
Ind AS 8, inter alia, states that an entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively
in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their discovery by restating the
comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred.
Ind AS 34 requires an entity to apply the same accounting policies in its interim financial
statements as are applied in its annual financial statements (except for accounting policy changes
made after the date of the most recent annual financial statements that are to be reflected in
the next annual financial statements).
Ind AS 34 cites ‘corrections of prior period errors’ as an example of events or transactions
which need to be explained in an entity’s interim financial report if they are significant to an
understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the entity since the end
of the last annual reporting period.
In view of the above, the entity is required to correct the error and restate the comparative
amounts in interim financial statements for the half-year ended 30 September 2012.

dues by 15th April, 2021 with respect to sales made between 17th March, 2021 and 31st March,
2021. Financial statements were approved for issue by Board of Directors on 31st May, 2021.
State whether discount will be adjusted from the sales at the end of the reporting period.
Summary
Detailed Solution
As per Ind AS 115, if the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, an
entity shall estimate the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled in exchange
for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer.
In the instant case, the condition that sales have been made exists at the end of the
reporting period and the receipt of payment within 15 days’ time after the end of the reporting
period and before the approval of the financial statements confirms that the discount is to be
provided on those sales. Therefore, it is an adjusting event.
Accordingly, XYZ Ltd. should adjust the sales made to ABC Ltd. With respect to discount of
5% on the list price of the goods.
Discuss with reasons whether these events are in nature of adjusting or non-adjusting and the
treatment needed in light of accounting standard Ind AS 10.

During 2022, Delta Ltd., changed its accounting policy for depreciating property, plant and
equipment, so as to apply much more fully a components approach, whilst at the same time
adopting the revaluation model.
In years before 2022, Delta Ltd.’s asset records were not sufficiently detailed to apply
a components approach fully. At the end of 2021, management commissioned an engineering
survey, which provided information on the components held and their fair values, useful lives,
estimated residual values and depreciable amounts at the beginning of 2022. However, the
survey did not provide a sufficient basis for reliably estimating the cost of those components
that had not previously been accounted for separately, and the existing records before the
survey did not permit this information to be reconstructed.
Delta Ltd.’s management considered how to account for each of the two aspects of the
accounting change. They determined that it was not practicable to account for the change to a
fuller components approach retrospectively, or to account for that change prospectively from
any earlier date than the start of 2022. Also, the change from a cost model to a revaluation
model is required to be accounted for prospectively. Therefore, management concluded that it
should apply Delta Ltd.’s new policy prospectively from the start of 2022.
Additional information:

Summary
Detailed Solution
According to paragraph 35 of Ind AS 16, when an item of property, plant and equipment is
revalued, the carrying amount of that asset is adjusted to the revalued amount. At the date of
the revaluation, the asset is treated in one of the following ways:
(a) The gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation
of the carrying amount of the asset. For example, the gross carrying amount may be
restated by reference to observable market data or it may be restated proportionately
to the change in the carrying amount. The accumulated depreciation at the date of the
revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and
the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated impairment
losses.
In such a situation, the revised carrying amount of the machinery will be as follows :
Particulars Amount Amount
Gross carrying amount ` 250 [(200/120) × 150]
Net carrying amount ` 150
Accumulated depreciation ` 100 (` 250 – ` 150)

(b) The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the

The amount of the adjustment of accumulated depreciation forms part of the increase
or decrease in carrying amount that is accounted for in accordance with the paragraphs
39 and 40 of Ind AS 16.
In this case, the gross carrying amount is restated to ` 150 to reflect the fair value and

Cost of the wastewater treatment plant to be installed to avail the benefit of the scheme is
` 50 lakh. A Limited decided to utilize this scheme because, if it were to obtain the similar loan
from a bank, it would be available at a market interest rate of 12% per annum. Accordingly, A
Limited applied for and obtained the government loan of ` 25 lakh on 1st April, 2021. A Limited
purchased and installed the plant such that it became ready for use on the same date.
A Limited has an accounting policy of recognizing government grant in relation to depreciable
assets in the proportion of depreciation expense. It has determined that the plant will be
depreciated over a period of 5 years using straight-line method. In the month of March, 20X3,
government officials conducted a surprise audit, and it was found that A Limited was not using
the wastewater treatment plant as prescribed. Accordingly, on 31st March, 2023, the government
ordered A Limited to repay the entire loan along with penalty. A Limited repaid the loan with
interest and penalty as per the order on 31st March, 2023.
Measure the amount of government grant as on 1st April, 2021. Determine the nature of
the government grant and its accounting treatment (principally) for the year ended 31st March,

M Limited had constructed another factory few years ago with the assistance of yet another
government grant, 'Innovative Product'. The grant is non-repayable and, following the
construction of the factory, cannot be clawed back by the government. There are no further
conditions attached to the grant that the Company is required to satisfy. The grant received
has been treated as deferred income and is being credited to the income statement over the
same period as the factory is being depreciated. Following an adverse change in the demand of
the product the factory manufactures, during the year at the reporting date, the directors
have concluded that the factory's carrying value is no longer recoverable in full and that a
write down for impairment is required. The write down is more than covered by the amortized

Ind AS 20 states that, Government grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, shall not
be recognised until there is reasonable assurance that:
(a) the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them; and
(b) the grants will be received.
Further, Ind AS 20 state as follows:
“A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses
already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity
with no future related costs shall be recognised in profit or loss of the period in which
it becomes receivable”.
“A government grant may become receivable by an entity as compensation for expenses
or losses incurred in a previous period. Such a grant is recognised in profit or loss of the
period in which it becomes receivable, with disclosure to ensure that its effect is clearly
understood.”
In accordance with the above, in the given case, as at March 2011, A Ltd. is entitled to
receive government grant in the form of compensation for losses already incurred by it
in the previous years. Therefore, even though the compensation will be received in the
month of October 2011, A Ltd. should recognise the compensation receivable by it as
a government grant in the profit or loss for the period in which it became receivable,

Monetary items are units of currency held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid in a
fixed or determinable number of units of currency. Ind AS 21 states that the essential feature of
a monetary item is a right to receive (or an obligation to deliver) a fixed or determinable number
of units of currency. Similarly, a contract to receive (or deliver) a variable number of the entity’s
own equity instruments or a variable amount of assets in which the fair value to be received (or
delivered) equals a fixed or determinable number of units of currency is a monetary item.
Conversely, the essential feature of a non‑monetary item is the absence of a right to receive (or an
obligation to deliver) a fixed or determinable number of units of currency.

As per Ind AS 23, Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction

Where, a qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to

to use general borrowings, which have a weighted average cost of 11%. Total borrowing costs
incurred during the period, viz., 1st September, 2021 to 31st March, 2022 were ` 0.5 crore.
The other relevant details are as follows: (` in crore)
Month Cost of construction Accrued Cash outflows (paid in advance at the start of each month)

and accrual basis and also suggest the appropriate amount of interest that should be capitalised to
the cost of the plant in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022?
Summary
Detailed Solution
Ind AS 23, inter-alia, states that to the extent that an entity borrows funds generally and uses
them for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the entity shall determine the amount of
borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures
36 CA BHAVIK CHOKSHI
IND AS 23 : BORROWING COSTS
on that asset. The capitalisation rate shall be the weighted average of the borrowing costs
applicable to all borrowings of the entity that are outstanding during the period. However,
an entity shall exclude from this calculation borrowing costs applicable to borrowings made
specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset until substantially all the activities
necessary to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale are complete. The amount of
borrowing costs that an entity capitalises during a period shall not exceed the amount of
borrowing costs it incurred during that period.
In this context, a question arises whether such expenditure should be based on costs accrued
or actual cash outflows. To contrast these two alternatives, presented below is the computation
of borrowing costs based on both the alternatives:
If the average capital expenditure on the basis of costs accrued is taken, the borrowing costs
eligible to be capitalised would be ` 2.74 crore x 11% = 0.30 crore. Whereas, if average capital
expenditure on the basis of cash flows is taken, the borrowing costs eligible to be capitalised
would be ` 4.02 crore x 11% = 0.44 crore. Thus, there is a wide variance in the amount of
borrowing cost to be capitalised, based on the accrual basis and on actual cash flows basis. This
divergence is often experienced during the implementation of large projects, for example, an
advance given to a supplier involves an upfront cash outflow while the actual expenditure accrues
in later periods (with the receipt of goods and services).
As per Ind AS 23, expenditures on a qualifying asset include only those expenditures that
have resulted in payments of cash, transfers of other assets or the assumption of interest-
bearing liabilities. Expenditures are reduced by any progress payments received and grants
received in connection with the asset (see Ind AS 20). The average carrying amount of the
asset during a period, including borrowing costs previously capitalised, is normally a reasonable
approximation of the expenditures to which the capitalization rate is applied in that period.
Where cash has been paid but the corresponding cost has not yet accrued interest becomes
payable on payment of cash. Therefore, the amount so paid should be considered for determining
the amount of interest eligible for capitalisation, subject to the fulfillment of other conditions
prescribed in Ind AS 23. Accordingly, in the present case, interest should be computed on the
CA BHAVIK CHOKSHI 37
IND AS 23 : BORROWING COSTS
basis of the cash flows rather than on the basis of costs accrued. Therefore, the amount of
interest eligible for capitalisation would be ` 0.44 crore.
Another important factor to be noted is that Ind AS 23 requires, inter alia, that the amount
of borrowing costs that an entity capitalises during a period shall not exceed the amount of
borrowing costs it incurred during that period. Thus, the amount of borrowing costs to be
capitalised should not exceed the total borrowing costs incurred during the period, that is ` 0.5
crore.

Entity A should disclose its transactions with entity C in entity A’s separate financial statements.
Entity C is a related party of entity A, because entity C is the subsidiary of entity A’s associate,

to be capitalised as part of the cost of the asset is calculated by discounting the liability back to the date when
the obligation initially arose, using the best estimate of historical discount rate. The associated accumulated
depreciation is calculated by applying the current estimate of the asset’s useful life, using the entity’s
depreciation policy for the asset.
Any difference between the provision and the related component of the property, plant and equipment is
adjusted against the retained earnings.
The entity could elect to apply the deemed cost exemption. Property, plant and equipment
would be restated to fair value, with the corresponding adjustment to the retained earnings.
Management would need to ensure that the fair value obtained was the gross fair value and
not net of the decommissioning obligation. Management would recognise the provision for
decommissioning costs in accordance with Ind AS 37. No cost in respect of provision should
be added to property, plant and equipment but such cost should be recognised in the entity’s
opening retained earnings.

Fair value of total assets excluding liabilities on acquisition – ` 360
Costs to sell as on acquisition and on reporting date – ` 10
Fair value of liabilities on acquisition and reporting date – ` 80
Fair value of total assets excluding liabilities on the reporting date – ` 340
How discontinued operation pertaining to B Ltd. should be measured in consolidated financial
statements of X Ltd. on acquisition date and reporting date?
Summary
Detailed Solution
Ind AS 105 defines a disposal group as a group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise,
together as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets
that will be transferred in the transaction.
In the given case, B Ltd. is acquired exclusively with a view to sell and meets the criteria to
be classified as discontinued operation.
Further, if the asset (or disposal group) is acquired as part of a business combination, it shall
be measured at fair value less costs to sell on acquisition date.
Therefore, on acquisition date, X Ltd. will measure B Ltd. as a disposal group at fair value
less costs to sell which will be calculated as Fair value of total assets excluding liabilities on
acquisition – Costs to sell = ` 360 – ` 10 = ` 350.
Fair value of liabilities on acquisition = ` 80.
At the reporting date, X Ltd. will remeasure the disposal group at the lower of its cost and
fair value less costs to sell which will be calculated as:
Fair value of total assets excluding liabilities on subsequent reporting date – Costs to sell
= ` 340 – ` 10 = ` 330
Fair value of liabilities on reporting date = ` 80.
At the reporting date, X Ltd. shall present these assets and liabilities separately from other
assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements.

A freehold property was originally acquired for ` 40,00,000. Some years later, after cumulative
depreciation of ` 11,00,000 has been recognised, an impairment loss of ` 3,50,000 is recognised,
taking the carrying amount to ` 25,50,000, which represents the estimated value in use of
the property. Shortly thereafter, as a consequence of a proposed move to new premises, the
freehold property is classified as held for sale.
At the time of classification as held for sale:
carrying amount is ` 25,50,000; and
fair value less costs to sell is assessed at ` 25,00,000.
Accordingly, the initial write-down on classification as held for sale is ` 50,000 and
the property is carried at ` 25,00,000. Following classification as held for sale, no further
depreciation is recognised.

(b) Six months after that, the property market has continued to improve, and fair value less
costs to sell is now assessed at ` 30,00,000. Show the accounting effects
(c) What will be the accounting effects if after a few months, the property is sold for

Detailed Solution
(a) The gain of ` 1,50,000 is less than the cumulative impairment losses recognised to date
(` 3,50,000 + ` 50,000 = ` 4,00,000). Accordingly, it is credited in profit or loss and the
property is carried at ` 26,50,000.
(b) Fair value less costs to sell after 6 months is ` 30,00,000. This further gain of ` 3,50,000
is, however, in excess of the cumulative impairment losses recognised to date (` 3,50,000
+ ` 50,000 – ` 1,50,000 = ` 2,50,000). Accordingly, a restricted gain of ` 2,50,000 is
credited in profit or loss and the property is carried at ` 29,00,000.

IND AS 115 : REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Summary
Detailed Solution
The term ‘contract’ is defined in Ind AS 115 as an agreement between two or more parties that
creates enforceable rights and obligations. In the given case:
Gifts are distributed by MIL to doctors as a part of its sales promotion activities without
there being an agreement between MIL and the doctors creating enforceable rights and
obligations.
The doctors to whom gifts are distributed are not ‘customers’ of MIL as they have not
contracted with it to obtain goods or services in exchange for consideration.
The items distributed as gifts are not an output of MIL ordinary activities.
In view of the above, the distribution of gifts to doctors does not fall under the scope of
Ind AS 115.
As per Ind AS 38, sometimes expenditure is incurred to provide future economic benefits to
an entity, but no intangible asset or other asset is acquired or created that can be recognised.
In the case of the supply of goods, the entity recognises such expenditure as an expense when
it has a right to access those goods.
Examples of expenditure that is recognised as an expense when it is incurred include
expenditure on advertising and promotional activities (including mail order catalogues).
Items acquired by MIL to be distributed as gifts as a part of sales promotion acti vities have
no other purpose than to undertake those activities. In other words, the only benefit of those
items for MIL is to develop or create brands or customer relationships, which in turn generate
revenue. Ind AS 38 requires an entity to recognise expenditure on such items as an expense
when the entity has a right to access those goods. Ind AS 38 states that an entity has a right
to access goods when it owns them, or otherwise has a right to access them regardless of when
it distributes the goods.
In view of the above, MIL should recognise the cost of the items to be distributed as gifts
as an expense when it owns those items, or otherwise has a right to access them, regardless of
when it distributes the items to doctors.

at ` 100,000. Prime Ltd. enters into a contract with Zeta Ltd. to sell all the three items for a
consideration of ` 1,50,000.
What will be the accounting treatment for the discount in the financial statements of Prime
Ltd., considering that the three items are three different performance obligations which are
satisfied at different points in time? Further, what will be the accounting treatment if Prime
Ltd. would have transferred the control of Hardware H and Accessory A at the same point in
time.
Summary
Detailed Solution
Ind AS 115 states that, “An entity shall allocate a discount entirely to one or more, but not all,
performance obligations in the contract if all of the following criteria are met:
(a) the entity regularly sells each distinct good or service (or each bundle of distinct goods
or services) in the contract on a stand-alone basis;
(b) the entity also regularly sells on a stand-alone basis a bundle (or bundles) of some of
those distinct goods or services at a discount to the stand-alone selling prices of the
goods or services in each bundle; and
(c) the discount attributable to each bundle of goods or services described in paragraph
82(b) is substantially the same as the discount in the contract and an analysis of the
goods or services in each bundle provides observable evidence of the performance
obligation (or performance obligations) to which the entire discount in the contract
belongs”.
In the given case, the contract includes a discount of ` 20,000 on the overall transaction, which
should have been allocated proportionately to all three performance obligations when allocating
the transaction price using the relative stand-alone selling price method (in accordance with
Ind AS 115). However, as Prime Ltd. meets all the criteria specified above, i.e., it regularly sells
Hardware H and Accessory A together for ` 1,00,000 and Software S for ` 50,000, accordingly,
it is evident that the entire discount should be allocated to the promises to transfer Hardware
H and Accessory A.
In the given case, since the contract requires the entity to transfer control of Hardware
H and Accessory A at different points in time, then the allocated amount of ` 1,00,000 should
be individually allocated to the promises to transfer Hardware H (stand-alone selling price of
` 1,00,000) and Accessory A (stand-alone selling price of ` 20,000)

` 1,00,000 of the transaction price to the single performance obligation and recognise revenue
of ` 1,00,000 when Hardware H and Accessory A simultaneously transfer to Zeta Ltd.

Paragraph 9, B9, B13 and B14 of Ind AS 116 state the following:

IND AS 116 : LEASES
“9 At inception of a contract, an entity shall assess whether the contract is, or contains, a
lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of
an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.”
“B9 To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time, an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer
has both of the following:
(a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified
asset; and
(b) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.”
“B13 An asset is typically identified by being explicitly specified in a contract. However,
an asset can also be identified by being implicitly specified at the time that the asset is made
available for use by the customer.”
“B14 Even if an asset is specified, a customer does not have the right to use an identified asset
if the supplier has the substantive right to substitute the asset throughout the period of use. A
supplier’s right to substitute an asset is substantive only if both of the following conditions exist:
(a) the supplier has the practical ability to substitute alternative assets throughout the
period of use (for example, the customer cannot prevent the supplier from substituting
the asset and alternative assets are readily available to the supplier or could be sourced
by the supplier within a reasonable period of time); and
(b) the supplier would benefit economically from the exercise of its right to substitute the
asset (i.e., the economic benefits associated with substituting the asset are expected
to exceed the costs associated with substituting the asset).”
Paragraph B20 of Ind AS 116 which provides guidance regarding identified asset in case
of portion of assets states that a capacity portion of an asset is an identified asset if it is
physically distinct (for example, a floor of a building). A capacity or other portion of an asset
that is not physically distinct (for example, a capacity portion of a fibre optic cable) is not an
identified asset, unless it represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset and thereby
provides the customer with the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from
use of the asset.
Paragraph B21 of Ind AS 116, inter alia, states that to control the use of an identified asset,
a customer is required to have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from
use of the asset throughout the period of use (for example, by having exclusive use of the asset
throughout that period). A customer can obtain economic benefits from use of an asset directly
or indirectly in many ways, such as by using, holding or subleasing the asset.
Further, paragraph B24 of Ind AS 116 provides that a customer has the right to direct the
use of an identified asset throughout the period of use if the customer has the right to direct
how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use.
CA BHAVIK CHOKSHI 71
IND AS 116 : LEASES
Paragraph B25 of Ind AS 116 states that a customer has the right to direct how and for
what purpose the asset is used if, within the scope of its right of use defined in the contract,
it can change how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use. In
making this assessment, an entity considers the decision-making rights that are most relevant
to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use. Decision-
making rights are relevant when they affect the economic benefits to be derived from use. The
decision-making rights that are most relevant are likely to be different for different contracts,
depending on the nature of the asset and the terms and conditions of the contract.
Case I
Scenario 1:
(i) As per paragraph B13 of Ind AS 116, ‘Last mile’ which is a dedicated cable is an identified
asset since it is physically distinct.
(ii) There are no substantive substitution rights with Entity Y, as it does not have the
practical ability to substitute alternative assets throughout the period of use.
Thus, this arrangement is within the scope of Ind AS 116.
Scenario 2:
If Entity Y has the practical ability to replace the lines and it would benefit from such
replacement, Entity Y has substantive substitution rights. In such case, this arrangement for
the ‘last mile cable’ will not be within the scope of Ind AS 116.
Case II
The fibers are specified in the contract and are physically distinct. Hence, in accordance with
paragraph B13 and B20, the said three fibers are identified asset.
Paragraph B18, inter alia, states that the supplier’s right or obligation to substitute the asset
for repairs and maintenance, if the asset is not operating properly or if a technical upgrade
becomes available does not preclude the customer from having the right to use an identified asset.
Further, paragraph B27 provides that although rights such as those to operate or maintain
an asset are often essential to the efficient use of an asset, they are not rights to direct how
and for what purpose the asset is used and can actually be dependent on the decisions about how
and for what purpose the asset is used.
In accordance with the above, as Entity Y can substitute these three distinct fibers only
for reasons of repairs, maintenance or malfunction, it does not preclude them from being an
identified asset.
Further, the Customer X has right to control the use of the identified fibers for 10 year
since it has-

(a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified
fibers throughout the period of use, i.e., 10 years; and
(b) the right to direct the use of the fibers as it makes the decisions about the use of
the fibers, i.e., it has right to direct how and for what purpose the fibers are used
throughout the period of use.
Hence, this arrangement is within the scope of Ind AS 116.
Case III
Paragraph B20 specifically provides that a capacity or other portion of an asset that is not
physically distinct (for example, a capacity portion of a fiber optic cable) is not an identified
asset, unless it represents substantially all of the capacity of the asset and thereby provides
the customer with the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of
the asset. In the given case, the capacity portion that will be provided to Customer X is not
physically distinct from the remaining capacity of the cable and does not represent substantially
all of the capacity of the cable, thus, it is not an identified asset. Further, Entity Y makes all
decisions about the transmission of data, (i.e., supplier lights the fibers, makes decisions about
which fibers are used to transmit customer’s traffic).
Thus, the contract does not contain a lease and is therefore not within the scope of Ind AS 116.
The Company has taken a particular application software of a supplier namely, Crystal Systems
Limited, which is available on a cloud infrastructure managed and controlled by the Crystal Systems
Limited. The Company contracts to pay a fee of ` 5,00,000 per month in exchange for a right to
receive access to the Crystal Systems Limited's application software for 2 years. The Company
accesses the software on need basis over the internet. The contract does not convey any rights
to New Age Technology Limited over the tangible assets of the Crystal Systems Limited.
The Chief Accountant of New Age Technology Limited has sought your advice, whether the
IT should account for this transaction for use of software with Crystal Systems Limited in
terms of Ind AS 116 leases or an intangible asset in terms of Ind AS 38 ‘Intangible Assets’. Help
him to understand your assessment.
Summary

IND AS 116 : LEASES
As per Ind AS 38, to be an intangible asset the asset should meet following criteria:
Identifiability;
Control over a Resource (Asset); and
Existence of Future Economic Benefits.
Crystal Systems Limited manages and controls the application software available on a cloud
infrastructure and New Age Technology Limited has limited rights to use the same. Merel y
right to access the application of Crystal Systems Limited, does not give New Age Technology
Limited power to obtain future economic benefits flowing from the software itself. Hence, the
application software should not be recognised as an asset under Ind AS 38.
Conclusion
The right to access the Crystal Systems Limited’s application software for a price over a
specified period is a service contract. If the Crystal Systems Limited pays amounts for which
the services are yet to be received, then the advance payment is a prepayment and an asset for
the Crystal Systems Limited.

Ryder, a public limited company is reviewing certain events which have occurred since its year -
end 31st March, 2024. The financial statements were authorized for issue on 12th May, 2024. The
following events are relevant to the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2024.
The company granted share appreciation rights (SARs) to its employees on 1st April, 2022
based on 10 million shares. At the date the rights are exercised, the SAR’s provide employees
with the right to receive cash equal to the appreciation in the company’s share price since the
grant date. The rights vested on 31st March, 2024 and payment was made on schedule on 1st
May, 2024.
The FV of the SAR’s per share at 31st March, 2023 was ` 6, at 31st March, 2024 was ` 8 and
at 1st May, 2024 was ` 9. The company has recognized a liability for the SAR’s as at 31st March,
2022 based upon Ind AS 102 ‘Share-based Payments’ but the liability was stated at the same
amount at 31st March, 2024.

ACCOUNTING FOR SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Summary
Detailed Solution
Ind AS 102 ‘Share-based Payments’ requires a company to remeasure the fair value of a liability
to pay cash-settled share-based payments at each reporting date and the settlement date until
the liability is settled. Share Appreciation rights fall under this category. Hence, the company
should recognize a liability of ` 80 million (` 8 x 10 million) at 31st March, 2024, the vesting date.
The liability recognised at 31st March, 2024 was in fact based on the share price at the
previous year-end and would have been shown at ` 6 x ½ x 10 million shares – half the cost as
the SARs vest over 2 years. This liability at 31st March, 2024 has not been changed since the
previous year- end by the company.
The SARs vest over a two-year period and hence on 31st March, 2024 there would be a
weighting of the eventual cost by 1 year/2 year. Therefore, an additional liability of ` 50 million
(30 million + 20 million) should be accounted for in the financial statements at 31st March, 2024.
The SARs would be settled on 1st May, 2024 at ` 90 million (` 9 x 10 million). The increase of
` 10 million (over and above ` 80 million) in the value of the SARs is a non-adjusting event. Hence,
the change in the fair value of ` 10 million during the year 2024-2025 would be charged to profit
and loss for the year ended 31st March, 2025 and not 31st March, 2024.

preference shares entitles the holders to 10 equity shares and the preference shares are
optionally convertible by the holder at any time until maturity.
How will the preference shares be classified at initial recognition assuming that a comparable
instrument carries a market interest rate of 7%? Provide journal entries for year 1. Will this
classification be changed subsequently in case there is likelihood that OCPS will be encashed at
the end of the maturity period?
Summary
Detailed Solution
The OCPS is redeemable at the end of the 5th year. Hence, the preference share contains a
liability component. Further the dividend payable on the preference shares is non-cumulative.
The holder may also be able to convert the preference shares at his option any time until
maturity.
Ind AS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation states that non- cumulative dividends paid
at the discretion of the issuer entity is part of equity element.
Ind AS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, requires separate recognition of components
of a financial instrument that (a) creates a financial liability of the entity; and (b) grants an
option to the holder of the instrument to convert it into fixed number of equity instruments of
the entity.
From the above paragraphs it is clear that OCPS issued by ABC Ltd. has a financial liability
component as well as an equity component, making it a compound financial instrument.
In case of compound financial instruments, the issuer fi rst determines the carrying amount
of the financial liability component by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not
have an associated equity component. The carrying amount of the equity represented by (a) non-
cumulative dividend feature and (b) option to convert the preference shares for fixed number of
pre-determined ordinary shares is then determined by deducting the fair value of the financial
liability component from the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole.
Measurement and recognition (Calculations have been done at full scale):
At 7% market rate of interest, the fair value of the financial liability component of the OCPS is
` 71,29,862 [100,000 OCPS x ` 100 x (1/(1+7%))5]

2. Determine the acquisition date in the above transaction?
3. Prepare Journal entries for the above-mentioned transaction?
4. Draft the Balance Sheet for Company X based on your analysis in Part 1 above as at

Summary
Detailed Solution
(1) Ind AS 103 defines business as an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable
of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing goods or services to
customers, generating investment income (such as dividends or interest) or generating
other income from ordinary activities.
For a transaction to meet the definition of a business combination (and for the acquisition
method of accounting to apply), the entity must gain control of an integrated set of assets
and activities that is more than a collection of assets or a combination of assets and liabilities.
To be capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose identified in the
definition of a business, an integrated set of activities and assets requires two essential
elements—inputs and processes applied to those inputs.
Therefore, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an
input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to
create output.
In the aforesaid transaction, Company X acquired share of participating rights
owned by Company Z for the producing Block (AWM/01). The output exist in this
transaction (Considering AWM/01) is a producing block. Also all the manpower
and requisite facilities/machineries are owned by Joint venture and thereby all
the Joint Operators. Hence, acquiring participating rights tantamount to acquire
88 CA BHAVIK CHOKSHI
BUSINESS COMBINATION & CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
inputs (Expertise Manpower & Machinery) and it is critical to the ability to continue
producing outputs.
Thus, the said acquisition will fall under the Business Acquisition and hence standard Ind
AS 103 is to be applied for the same.
As per Ind AS 111, when an entity acquires an interest in a joint operation in which
the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business, as defined in Ind AS 103,
it shall apply, to the extent of its share, all of the principles on business combinations
accounting in Ind AS 103. This applies to the acquisition of both the initial interest
and additional interests in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation
constitutes a business. Further, as per Para 33C of Ind AS 111, a joint operator might
increase its interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation
constitutes a business, as defined in Ind AS 103, by acquiring an additional interest in
the joint operation. In such cases, previously held interests in the joint operation are
not remeasured if the joint operator retains joint control. (refer part 3).
(2) As per paragraph 8 of Ind AS 103, acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer
obtains control of the acquiree. Further, paragraph 9 of Ind AS 103 clarifies that the
date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree is generally the date on which
the acquirer legally transfers the consideration, acquires the assets and assumes the
liabilities of the acquiree—the closing date. However, the acquirer might obtain control
on a date that is either earlier or later than the closing date.
An acquirer shall consider all pertinent facts and circumstances in identifying the
acquisition date. Since government of India (GOI) approval is a substantive approval for
Company X to acquire control of Company Z’s operations, the date of acquisition cannot
be earlier than the date on which approval is obtained from GOI. This is pertinent given
that the approval from GOI is considered to be a substantive process and accordingly,
the acquisition is considered to be completed only on receipt of such approval. Hence
acquisition date in the above scenario is 30.6.2011.

*In extremely rare circumstances, an acquirer will make a bargain purchase in a business
combination in which the value of net assets acquired in a business combination exceeds
the purchase consideration. The acquirer shall recognise the resulting gain in other
comprehensive income on the acquisition date and accumulate the same in equity as capital
reserve, if the reason for bargain purchase gain is clear and evidence exist. If there does
not exist clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination
as a bargain purchase, then the gain shall be recognised directly in equity as capital reserve.
Since in above scenario it is clearly evident that due to liquidity issues, Company Z has to
withdraw their participating right from AWM/01. The said bargain purchase gain should be
transferred to other comprehensive income on the acquisition date.

BUSINESS COMBINATION & CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
Note: As per Ind AS 103, in case an entity acquires another entity step by step through
series of purchase then the acquisition date will be the date on which the acquirer
obtains control. Till the time the control is obtained the investment will be accounted as
per the requirements of other Ind AS 109, if the investments are covered under that
standard or as per Ind AS 28, if the investments are in Associates or Joint Ventures.
If a business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer shall remeasure its previously
held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognise the resulting
gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss or other comprehensive income, as appropriate.
Since in the above transaction, company X does not hold any prior interest in Company Z &
company holds only 30% PI rights in Block AWM/01 trough unincorporated joint venture, this is
not a case of step acquisition.
Question 75
Entity A holds 20% interest in Entity B. Subsequently Entity A, further acquires 50% share in
Entity B by paying ` 300 Crores.
The fair value of assets acquired and Liabilities assumed are as follows:
Building - ` 1000 Crores
Cash and Cash Equivalent - ` 200 Crores
Financial Liabilities - ` 800 Crores
DTL - ` 150 crores
Fair value of Entity B is ` 400 Crores and Fair value of NCI is ` 120 Crores (400 x 30%) Fair
value of Entity A’s previously held interest is ` 80 Crores (400 x 20%)
Entity A needs to determine whether acquisition is an asset acquisition as per concentration
test.
Calculate Gross Assets and Test for Concentration
Summary
Detailed Solution
(i) Fair value of consideration transferred (including fair value of non-controlling interest
and fair value of previously interest held) = 300 + 120 + 80 = ` 500 Crores
(ii) Fair value of liability assumed (excluding deferred tax) – ` 800 crores
(iii) Cash and cash equivalent – ` 200 crores.
Fair value of gross assets acquired - ` 1,100 Crores
CA BHAVIK CHOKSHI 93
BUSINESS COMBINATION & CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
In the above scenario, substantially all fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in
a single identifiable asset i.e. building. Hence it should be asset acquisition. (1,000 / 1,100 = 91%
of value of gross assets is concentrated into single identifiable asset i.e. building). A Judgement
is required to conclude on the word substantially as the same is not defined in the standard.
In our view we have considered 91% of the value as substantial to conclude the above
transaction as asset acquisition.

CONSOLIDATION – SUBSIDARY [IND AS 110]
Question 37 DDT deleted as per finance act 2020 and hence this
question is not relevant (RTP November 19)
What will be the accounting treatment of dividend distribution tax in the consolidated financial
statements in case of partly-owned subsidiary in the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: H Limited (holding company) holds 12,000 equity shares in S Limited (Subsidiary of
H Limited) with 60% holding. Accordingly, S Limited is a partly-owned subsidiary of H Limited.
During the year 2011, S Limited paid a dividend @ ` 10 per share and DDT @ 20% on it.
Should the share of H Limited in DDT paid by S Limited amounting to ` 24,000 (60% ×
` 40,000) be charged as expense in the consolidated profit and loss of H Limited?
Scenario 2(A): Extending the situation given in scenario 1, H Limited also pays dividend of
` 300,000 to its shareholders and DDT liability @ 20% thereon amounts to ` 60,000. As per the
tax laws, DDT paid by S Ltd. of ` 24,000 is allowed as set off against the DDT liability of H Ltd.,
resulting in H Ltd. paying ` 36,000 (` 60,000 – ` 24,000) as DDT to tax authorities.
Scenario 2(B): If in (A) above, H Limited pays dividend amounting to ` 100,000 with DDT
liability @ 20% amounting to ` 20,000.
Scenario (3):
Will the answer be different for the treatment of dividend distribution tax paid by associate in
the consolidated financial statement of investor, if as per tax laws the DDT paid by associate is
not allowed set-off against the DDT liability of the investor

80,000 will appear as a dividend distribution (To NCI) in Statement of Changes in Equity
(S.O.C.E).
DDT paid on dividend distributed by subsidary and received by parent is to be expensed in
the Statement of Consolidated P/L. This is because in the ultimate CFS 1,20,000 get eliminated
and hence there is no dividend distribution for 1,20,000. However, the DDT on the same (24,000)
still needs to be paid. As there is no distribution linked to 24,000 in the CFS, it is an expense.
Dividend attributable to NCI (80,000) appears in CFS in SOCE and hence its corresponding
DDT (16,000) should also appear in SOCE.

not attributable to distribution to owners. However, since tax credit on 24,000 is available, H
will utilize it at the time of an ultimate distribution to its owners and hence it should be treated
as an appropriation in SOCE.

Extra: We have assumed that DDT credit cannot be carried forward (in line with ICAI solution)
and hence 4,000 is expensed. However, in case DDT credit can be carried forward, then 4,000
would appear as an asset.
Scenario 3: As credit is not allowed for the DDT paid, we will consider DDT as an expense in the
consolidated P/L and also reduce the DDT from the carrying value of the investment.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS & SCHEDULE III
Additional Information:
1. On 1st April 2011, 8% convertible loan with a nominal value of ` 64,00,000 was issued by the
entity. It is redeemable on 31st March 2015 also at par. Alternatively, it may be converted
into equity shares on the basis of 100 new shares for each ` 200 worth of loan.
An equivalent loan without the conversion option would have carried interest at 10%.
Interest of ` 5,12,000 has already been paid and included as a finance cost.
2. After the reporting period, the board of directors have recommended dividend of Rs
50,000 for the year ending 31st March, 2011. However, the same has not been yet
accounted by the company in its financials.
3. ‘Other current financial liabilities’ consists of the following:
Particulars Amount (`)
Wages payable 21,890
Salary payable 61,845
TDS payable 81,265
Interest accrued on trade payables 35,564
6. Current Investments consist of securities held for trading which are carried at fair value
through profit & loss. Investments were purchased on 1st January, 2012 at ` 55,000 and
accordingly are shown at cost as at 31st March 2012. The fair value of said investments
as on 31st March 2012 is ` 60,000.
7. Trade payables and Trade receivables are due within 12 months.
8. There has been no changes in equity share capital during the year.
9. Entity has the intention to set off a deferred tax asset against a deferred tax liability
as they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the entity has
a legally enforceable right to set off taxes.
10. Other Equity consists retained earnings only. The opening balance of retained earnings
was ` 21,25,975 as at 1st April 2011.
11. No dividend has been actually paid by company during the year.
12. Assume that the deferred tax impact, if any on account of above adjustments is correctly
calculated in financials.
Being Finance & Accounts manager, you are required to identify the errors and
misstatements if any in the balance sheet of Master Creator Private Limited and
prepare corrected balance sheet with details on the face of the balance sheet i.e. no
need to prepare notes to accounts, after considering the additional information. Provide
necessary explanations/workings for the treated items, wherever necessary.

Prepaid expenses does not result into receipt of any cash or financial asset. However, it
results into future goods or services. Hence, it is not a financial asset.
9. As per Ind AS 10, ‘Events after the Reporting Period’, If dividends are declared after
the reporting period but before the financial statements are approved for issue, the
dividends are not recognized as a liability at the end of the reporting period because no
obligation exists at that time. Such dividends are disclosed in the notes in accordance
with Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.
10. ‘Other Equity’ cannot be shown under ‘Non-current liabilities’. Accordingly, it is
reclassified under ‘Equity’.
11. There are both ‘equity’ and ‘debt’ features in the instrument. An obligation to pay cash
i.e. interest at 8% per annum and a redemption amount will be treated as ‘financial
liability’ while option to convert the loan into equity shares is the equity element in the
instrument. Therefore, convertible loan is a compound financial instrument.
Calculation of debt and equity component and amount to be recognised in the books:
S. No Year Interest Discounting factor Amount
amount @ 8% @ 10%
Year 1 2012 5,12,000 0.91 4,65,920
Year 2 2013 5,12,000 0.83 4,24,960
Year 3 2014 5,12,000 0.75 3,84,000
Year 4 2015 69,12,000 0.68 47,00,160
* In year 4, the loan note will be redeemed; therefore, the cash outflow would be
` 69,12,000 (` 64,00,000 + ` 5,12,000).
12. Since entity has the intention to set off deferred tax asset against deferred tax liability
and the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off taxes, hence their balance on
net basis should be shown as :
Particulars Amount (`)
Deferred tax liability 4,74,850
Deferred tax asset (2,54,150)
Deferred tax liability (net) 2,20,700
13. A liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to
another entity is a financial liability. Trade payables is a financial liability in this case.
14. ‘Other current financial liabilities’:
Particulars Amount (`)
Wages payable 21,890
Salary payable 61,845
Interest accrued on trade payables 35,564
Total 1,19,299
15. Liabilities for which there is no contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial
asset to another entity, are not financial liabilities. Hence, TDS payable should be
reclassified from ‘Other current financial liabilities’ to ‘Other current liabilities’ since it
is not a contractual obligation.
Summary
Detailed Solution
No, the compliance with CSR requirements is specific to each company. A holding or subsidiary
of a company is not required to comply with the CSR provisions unless the holding or subsidiary
itself fulfils the eligibility criteria prescribed under section 135(1) stated above. Example:
Company A is covered under the criteria mentioned in section 135(1). Company B is holding
company of company A. If Company B by itself does not satisfy any of the criteria mentioned in
section 135(1), Company B is not required to comply with the provisions of section 135.
Summary
Detailed Solution
Yes, the law states that the excess CSR amount spent can be carried forward up to immediately
succeeding three financial years; thus, in case any excess amount is left for set off, it will lapse
at the end of the said period.
In such case, the company may continue to retain the remaining excess CSR of ` 1.50 crores
up to FY 2014-2015, and thereafter the same shall lapse.
Summary
Detailed Solution
Yes. If the company has not completed three financial years since its incorporation, but it
satisfies any of the criteria mentioned in section 135(1), the CSR provisions including spending
of at least two per cent of the average net profits made during immediately preceding financial
year(s) are applicable.
Accordingly, the CSR spending obligation under section 135(5) for Company A would be at
least two per cent of the average net profits of the company made during FY 2011-2012 and FY
2012-2013.
