Interest paid set off aganist interest received

This query is : Resolved 

23 February 2008 Dear Members,

I have a query.

The query is as follows:

Many well known companies (E.g Tata Steel Ltd - Schedule 3: Interest (Page No 124 of the Annual report for the year ended 31.3.2007) in their Schedules forming part of the accounts show Interest paid Less Interest Received. Does this practice conform to Schedule VI to the Companies Act 1956? Or if ICAI has recommended this practice in any of its publications, if so where? ROC's are also raising this question?

Learned Club Members are requested to enlighten me on this practice.

S Venkatesh

23 February 2008 Please clarify my query

23 February 2008 As long as the disclosure of payments and receipts are there, nothing wrong in netting.

05 March 2008 COMPANY'S ACT SCHEDULE VI PART I,II,III REQUIRE COMPLETE DISCLOSURES. BUT AT SAME TIME THERE IS NO BAR ON NETTING OF RECEIPTS AGAINST PAYMENTS UNDER SAME HEAD.
SO THIS IS ACCEPTABLE AND HARMLESS PRACTICE.
R.V.RAO
