Hi,

Is IFRS going to be applicable to 'Private Limited Companies' also in India ?

I have read that IFRS in India would cover the following public interest entities:

1. Listed companies
2. Banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, and financial institutions
3. Turnover in preceding year > INR 1 billion
4. Borrowing in preceding year > INR 250 million
5. Holding or subsidiary of the above

It does't specifically mention anything about a Private Limited Company (which is not a holding or subsidiary of any other company).

Could you please advice ?
