IND ASs

List of Indian Accounting Standards (IND ASs)

The Indian Accounting Standards (IND-AS) are a set of accounting standards notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India.

IND-AS are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The Indian Accounting Standards apply to all companies, including listed companies and unlisted public sector companies.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended), which sets out the framework for adopting the Indian Accounting Standards by companies.

Objectives and Applicability of IND-ASs

IND-AS are designed to improve the quality of financial reporting in India and to bring about greater convergence with international accounting standards. The standards will also help in making Indian companies more globally competitive.

The objective of the Indian Accounting Standards is to enhance the quality and transparency of financial reporting in India and to promote convergence with international financial reporting standards.

Under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended), all companies are required to prepare their financial statements by the Indian Accounting Standards from the financial year commencing on or after 1st April, 2016.

The framework for the adoption of the Indian Accounting Standards is as follows:
