Dear Preetham, As far as your question is concerned whether IFRS is applicable in India or not. The answer to your question is Partly yes and partly no. Indian Accounting Standards (Indian Version of IFRS) are based on IFRS, however, there are certain carve outs in Ind-AS with IFRS. Ind - AS in totality are not 100 % IFRS based. The MCA through notification dated 16 February 2015 has issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Rules) which lay down a roadmap for companies other than insurance companies, banking companies and non-banking finance companies (NBFC) for implementation of Ind AS converged with IFRS. The Ind AS shall be applicable to companies as follows: 1) Any company may comply with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) for financial statements for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2015, with the comparatives for the periods ending on 31st March, 2015, or thereafter; Voluntarily, however, once followed, then irrevocable 2) For the following Companies Ind - AS applicable from FY 01/04/2016 i.e. FY 2016-17 (mandatory) a) companies whose equity or debt securities are listed or are in the process of being listed on any stock exchange in India or outside India and having net worth of rupees five hundred crore or more; b) companies other than those covered by sub-clause (a) of clause (ii) of subrule (1) and having net worth of rupees five hundred crore or more; c) holding, subsidiary, joint venture or associate companies of companies covered by sub-clause (a) of clause (ii) of sub- rule (1) and sub-clause (b) of clause (ii) of sub- rule (1) as the case may be; and 3) For the following Companies Ind - AS applicable from FY 01/04/2017 i.e. FY 2017-18 (mandatory) a) companies whose equity or debt securities are listed or are in the process of being listed on any stock exchange in India or outside India and having net worth of less than rupees five hundred crore; b) companies other than those covered in clause (ii) of sub- rule (1) and subclause (a) of clause (iii) of sub-rule (1), that is, unlisted companies having net worth of rupees two hundred and fifty crore or more but less than rupees five hundred crore. c) holding, subsidiary, joint venture or associate companies of companies covered under sub-clause (a) of clause (iii) of sub- rule (1) and sub-clause (b) of clause (iii) of sub- rule (1), as the case may be the net worth shall be calculated in accordance with the stand-alone financial statements of the company as on 31st March, 2014 or the first audited financial statements for accounting period which ends after that date;
