Conflict between Accounting standard and Schedule III

If there is a conflict between Accounting Standard and Schedule III, then which will prevail?

Quick Summary
When a conflict arises between an accounting standard and Schedule III, the Companies Act ultimately prevails. In such situations, companies must provide clear reasons for any deviation from the prescribed accounting standards. Both Schedule III and accounting standards are enacted under the Companies Act, making them intrinsically linked and requiring compliance.

Companies Act will prevail and you need to provide reason for deviation from accounting standard in such case.

clarify with live examples
Both are inter-linked.
Schedule III is prepared subject to compliance of notified mandatory accounting standards.
So the question which prevails over other shouldn't arise.

it's a mockery of law.

Let me clear for Forum again that both are inter-linked.

Schedule III is in the Companies Act .
Accounting standards are also notified by enabling section under Companies Act .
