46 Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective


Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023,
applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:
(i) Ind AS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements – The amendments require companies to disclose their material
accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other
information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose
financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial
statements.
(ii) Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes – The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such
as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in
paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial
recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is in process of evaluating
this amendment.
(iii) Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors – The amendments will help entities
to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting
estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates
are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop
accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves
measurement uncertainty. The Company has evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on its financial
statements.
