Follow provisions and this standard doesn't help reserves. Its all about outdated off balance sheet transactions, lease payments and maturity treatment. 

Rent Equalization reserve [Resolved] | Accounts (caclubindia.com)

For example, assume that retrospective application of Ind AS 116 results in the entity recognising a lease liability of Rs 100 and right‑of‑use asset of Rs 85 in respect of a lease as at the beginning of the preceding period, i.e., 1 April 2018. Assume further that the entity’s balance sheet as at 31 March 2018 has a ‘rent equalisation reserve’ of Rs 10 in respect of the lease. In such a case, it would give effect to the transition as of 1 April 2018 as follows.
 

Right‑of‑use – Dr 85

Rent Equalisation Reserve – Dr 10

Retained Earnings (or other component of equity) – Dr 5

Lease Liability – Cr 100

 

Thanks.

Ind AS is not applicable to the company . Auditors referring to AS 19 requirements for creation of  Lease Equalization reserve. If AS 19 applies is it necessary as per standard  to create a Lease Equalization reserve for offices taken on lease for a period of more than one year. 

It is deductible as per supreme court order in 2018. More info available in PWC papers
