Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and as amended from time to time.  
 
GENERAL  INSTURCTIONS  FOR  PREPARATION  OF FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS OF  A 
COMPANY required to comply with Ind AS.

Standards (except the option of presenting assets and liabilities in the order of liquidity as 
provided  by  the  relevant  Ind  AS) as  applicable  to  the  companies  require  any  change  in 
treatment  or  disclosure  including  addition,  amendment,  substitution  or  deletion  in  the 
head/sub-head or any changes inter se, in the financial statements or statements forming 
part  thereof,  the  same  shall  be  made  and  the  requirements  of this Schedule  shall  stand 
modified accordingly.

substitution of the disclosure requirements specified in the Indian Accounting Standards.

the  Financial  Statements. Similarly,  all  other  disclosures  as  required  by  the  Companies

individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis 
of the financial statements. Materiality depends on the size and nature of the item judged 
in the particular circumstances. 
8. For  the  purpose  of  this  Schedule,  the  terms  used  herein  shall  be  as  per  the Indian 
Accounting Standards. 
 
9. Where  any Act  or  Regulation requires specific  disclosures  to  be  made  in  the standalone

required under this Schedule.  
Note: This Schedule sets out the minimum requirements for disclosure on the face of the 
Financial Statements,  i.e., Balance  Sheet, Statement  of  Changes  in  Equity  for  the 
period,  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  for  the  period  (The  term  ‘Statement  of

requirements of the relevant Indian Accounting Standard.     
Line  items,  sub-line  items  and  sub-totals  shall  be  presented  as  an  addition  or 
substitution  on  the  face  of  the  Financial  Statements  when  such  presentation  is 
relevant to an understanding of the company’s financial position or performance
