MCA has notifed 35 New Indian AS on 25th Feb.. This news is noting do with the applicability of the International IFRS (as issued by ISAB) on the listed and some other Indian companies w.e.f. 01.04.2011..

These new 35 Ind. AS are applicable only on the residual Indian entities which are not covered by the original IFRS convergence roadmap as notified earlier, starting from 01.04.2011. These new Ind. AS (based on IFRS) will replace the existing 32 Accounting Standards issued by the ASB of the ICAI.

Notified INDAS will not replace existing AS. These INDAS are the Indian Version of IFRS and will be applicable on companies covered under IFRS applicability criterion as issued by MCA only. But as of now implementation has been deferred, so all companies will follow existing AS only.

Hi Priyanka,

You can go for IFRS book published by IASB that includes Bare standards, Application Guidance, illustrations and Basis of conclusions, Other one is Professional edition of IFRS by PWC. Fomats of IFRS financial differs sector to sector as there is no fixed format prescribed in IFRS. However, basics are same for all sector i.e. Current and Non current bifrucation of assets and liabilities. If you require some model IFRS financials i can mail the same.

Best Regards

Sandeep
