23 September 2011 Part IV of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, requires, among other things, disclosure of earnings per share. Accordingly, every company, which is required to give in ormation under Part IV of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, should calculate and disclose earnings per share in accordance with AS 20, whether or not its equity shares or potential equity
shares are listed on a recognised stock exchange in India.
