Our factory is located at Andhra pradesh on a land that is taken on 99 years lease. The lease contains an upfront premium and also a rental charge to be paid on monthly basis for the entire duration of 99 years (rent- INR 40 lac/annum) The initial non-cancellable period is for 33 years and the agreement provides for further 2 extensions of 33 years in the option of lessee (our company) and the possibility of extension is certain at this point as well. Does this transaction gets covered under IND AS 116? If yes, how to go about arriving at the Lease liability and ROU as per IND AS 116?
