I can get back to you on that after referring the law book, but as a quick reply let me tell you that the Revised Schedule VI gives more importance to Accounting Standards than the act itself, ie. if the Schedule and the specified Accounting Sandard differs in opinion, Accounting Standards will prevail. Assuming from this you have to consider enterprise differentiation by ICAI, you know what I mean, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and should know where your company falls to ascertain the applicability of various accounting standards.

Exemption available

Provided that the financial statement, with respect to One Person Company, small company and dormant company, may not include the cash flow statement i.e. there is an exemption given to OPC, small company and dormant Company for preparing the Cash flow statement for purpose of inclusion in financial statement.
