On February 16, 2015, the ministry of corporate affairs notified the Indian
version of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), to be referred
as Ind AS. 39 IND AS are issued aimed at convergence
of the Indian accounting framework with globally recognised IFRS. It is not
full adoption of IFRS, but only convergence.
These set of accounting and reporting standards is required to be applied
by prescribed class f companies effective April 1, 2016, with a mandatory
comparative period for the year ended March 31, 2016. So, essentially
covered companies will be required to transition to Ind AS as on April 1,
2015 itself.
