People Also Ask — Bookkeeping in Anna Nagar
Are bookkeeping records mandatory under Indian law?
Yes. Section 128 of the Companies Act 2013 makes books of account mandatory for every company, on accrual basis and double-entry system, preserved for 8 years. Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act mandates books for professionals (with gross receipts > ₹1.5 lakh in 3 years) and for businesses (turnover > ₹10 lakh in 3 years). Section 35 of the CGST Act 2017 requires every registered person to maintain inward and outward supply records, stock registers, ITC registers and tax payable/paid registers.
What is the difference between Tally Prime and Zoho Books?
Tally Prime is the dominant on-premise accounting software for Indian SMEs — strong on Schedule III/VI reporting, multi-godown inventory, statutory GST/TDS compliance, e-invoicing and payroll. Zoho Books is cloud-first SaaS with multi-user collaboration, integrated CRM, automated bank feeds, project billing and Indian-localised GST modules. Tally Prime suits manufacturing, trading and Schedule III companies; Zoho Books suits service businesses, freelancers and proprietorships preferring cloud access. We standardise based on transaction volume, multi-user need and audit requirements.
How frequently should bank reconciliation be done for Anna Nagar businesses?
Best practice is monthly Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) before closing the trial balance and computing GST output liability for the period. For Anna Nagar businesses with > 100 daily bank transactions or with multiple OD / CC / term loan accounts, weekly or daily BRS is recommended. Material unreconciled differences > 60 days are written back to suspense and reported as risk of material misstatement under SA 315. The auditor obtains a direct bank confirmation under SA 505 at year-end to validate the closing reconciliation.
What is the difference between depreciation under Schedule II Companies Act and Section 32 IT Act?
Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 prescribes useful life — buildings 60 years, factory buildings 30 years, plant & machinery 8 years (continuous process plant 25 years), furniture 10 years, computers 3 years (servers 6 years) — with rate derived as 1/useful life on SLM or WDV basis. Section 32 of the Income Tax Act applies block-of-asset method on WDV basis with notified rates — buildings 10%, plant 15%, computers 40%, intangibles 30%, motor vehicles 15%. The book vs tax depreciation difference is a timing difference booked as AS-22 / Ind AS 12 deferred tax.
What is Section 43B(h) MSME and how does it impact my year-end bookkeeping?
Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, inserted by Finance Act 2023 from AY 2024-25, disallows deduction for any sum payable to a micro or small enterprise (registered under Udyam) beyond the time limit in Section 15 of the MSMED Act 2006 — 45 days where written agreement exists, else 15 days. Such sums are allowable only in the year of actual payment. Year-end aging of Udyam-classified vendors is extracted, unpaid balances are added back in the tax computation (Form 3CD clause 22) and a payment plan for early-clearance is recommended.
What is the difference between AS framework and Ind AS framework?
AS framework refers to Accounting Standards AS-1 to AS-29 notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021 — applied by non-Ind AS companies. Ind AS framework refers to Indian Accounting Standards Ind AS 1 to 116 notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 — converged with IFRS and applicable to listed companies, companies with net worth ≥ ₹250 crore, holding/subsidiary/associate/JV of such, and NBFCs above ₹500 crore. Ind AS introduces fair-value measurement, ECL on financial assets (Ind AS 109), Right-of-Use lease accounting (Ind AS 116) and the 5-step revenue model (Ind AS 115).
How do I outsource accounting and bookkeeping in Chennai?

Engage a professional firm with ICAI Code of Ethics compliance, sign an engagement letter under SA 210 standards, provide bank-statement access and prior books, agree on monthly closing cut-off date, and receive monthly trial balance with reconciliation by the 10th of each succeeding month.

Should I retain a chartered accountant or a bookkeeper?

A chartered accountant brings audit-grade professional standards, ICAI peer-review oversight, and Sections 44AB and 142(2A) representation capability. A non-CA bookkeeper may suffice for very small turnover but cannot sign tax audit or appear before assessing authorities.

What is accounting and bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the systematic recording of business transactions in primary books — cash book, journal, ledger — while accounting is the broader process of classifying, summarising and reporting financial information under ICAI accounting standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013.

Is bookkeeping mandatory in India?

Yes for most assessees. Section 44AA of the Income-tax Act 1961 mandates specified books beyond gross-receipts or turnover thresholds. Section 128 Companies Act and Section 34 LLP Act 2008 separately require books for companies and LLPs respectively.

FilingProChennai's monthly accounting and bookkeeping retainer is ₹5,000 all-inclusive — software-agnostic, monthly trial balance, GSTR-3B reconciliation, TDS Section 200 computation, and quarterly review with a designated partner with no hidden audit-support charges.

Should I use Tally or Zoho Books?

GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B Match Improved

Monthly purchase register reconciliation against GSTR-2B for Chennai clients moves the GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B match ratio above 98% — ITC reversal with 24% interest under Rule 36(4)(b) eliminated.

Section 129 True-and-Fair View Defended

Books for Chennai clients are produced to give a true and fair view under Section 129(1) read with Schedule III. Statutory auditor under Section 143 receives clean files — no qualification, no adverse opinion, no disclaimer.

Form 3CD 44 Clauses Schedule-Ready

Form 3CD clause-wise schedules — clause 13 method, 14 inventory, 17 land/building 50C, 18 depreciation, 21 disallowance, 22 MSME 43B(h), 26 Section 43B, 31 269SS/T, 34 TDS, 44 GST expenditure — all extracted directly from the Tally trial balance with no last-minute scramble.

How the engagement runs end to end

Monthly BRS + GSTR-2B Reconciliation

Bank statements imported and BRS finalised for every account. Purchase register reconciled against GSTR-2B — supplier-not-filed, value mismatch, rate mismatch and 17(5)-blocked items flagged. Output GST liability reconciled with sales register; reverse charge under Section 9(3) brought to account.

Payroll + Statutory Dues + TDS Working

Payroll register processed, PF / ESI / PT / TDS Section 192 deductions computed, statutory challans paid by 7th (TDS) and 15th (PF / ESI). Vendor TDS under Section 194C/J/H/I computed; quarterly Form 24Q / 26Q / 27Q ready data extracted in time for the 31 July / 31 October / 31 January / 31 May filings.

Onboarding & Opening Balance Migration

For Chennai clients FilingPro collects prior audited financials, last trial balance and tax computation; verifies opening balances of fixed assets, debtors, creditors, statutory dues, deferred tax, advance tax / TDS receivable; and migrates to Tally Prime / Zoho Books with Schedule III re-grouping. Vendor master is built with Udyam classification.

What FilingPro brings to the engagement

Tally Prime Senior Hands

FilingPro accountants have built and re-grouped Tally Prime ledgers continuously since the Tally 9 era. Schedule III Division I/II re-classification, multi-godown inventory and statutory GST/TDS templates pre-wired for Chennai clients.

ICAI Accounting Standards Compliance

Every transaction is recognised, measured and disclosed under the applicable AS or Ind AS. Going concern (AS-1 / Ind AS 1), revenue (AS-9 / Ind AS 115), inventory (AS-2 / Ind AS 2), employee benefits (AS-15 / Ind AS 19) — all enforced at the entry level.

Schedule III Format from Day 1

For Chennai companies the trial balance is mapped to Schedule III current/non-current classification and ageing schedules from day 1 — no year-end re-grouping cycle, no auditor re-opening of vouchers.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Journal

Primary book of entry where transactions are first recorded in double-entry form showing debit and credit aspects with narration. All ledger postings flow from journal entries.

Ledger

Principal book of accounts containing individual account-wise summary of all transactions affecting that account during the period. Forms the basis for trial balance preparation.

Trial Balance

Statement listing all ledger balances classified as debit or credit as on a particular date, used to verify the arithmetical accuracy of postings and as the starting point for preparing final accounts.

Sundry Debtors

Aggregate of customers and parties from whom amounts are receivable on account of sales of goods or services on credit. Disclosed under Trade Receivables in Schedule III Division I current-assets group.

Sundry Creditors

Aggregate of vendors and parties to whom amounts are payable on account of purchases of goods or services on credit. Disclosed under Trade Payables in Schedule III with separate MSME and non-MSME sub-classification per Section 22 of MSMED Act.

Suspense Account

Temporary holding account used to record entries that cannot immediately be classified to a specific ledger pending investigation. Must be cleared by year-end; carrying balances invite audit qualification.

Bank Reconciliation

Statement reconciling the bank balance per cash book with the bank balance per bank statement as on a given date, explaining variances arising from outstanding cheques, uncleared deposits, bank charges, and direct credits.

Outstanding cheques

Cheques issued by the business and recorded as payments in the cash book but not yet presented to or cleared by the bank as on the reconciliation date. A reconciling item in the BRS.

Uncleared deposits

Deposits recorded as receipts in the cash book but not yet credited by the bank as on the reconciliation date. A reconciling item in the BRS, typically arising from cheques deposited late in the day or in transit.

Reversal entries

Entries passed at the start of a period to reverse adjusting entries made at the end of the previous period, simplifying subsequent accounting for accruals and prepayments. Common for accrued income and accrued expenses.

Adjusting entries

Entries passed at the end of an accounting period to recognise accrued income, accrued expenses, prepaid expenses, depreciation, and provisions, so that the financial statements reflect the matching principle under AS-1.

Prepaid Expenses

Expenses paid in advance during the current period but pertaining to a future accounting period. Shown as a current asset and recognised as expense in the period to which they relate, applying the matching principle.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Anna Nagar

How the local trade mix shapes this — In Anna Nagar, the business activity radiating outward from Anna Nagar Tower Park and nearby commercial pockets.

IT & Software Services
Common issue: IT-services firms bill overseas clients in foreign currency and book revenue on receipt rather than on accrual, mismatching the books against FIRC/e-BRC records and understating debtors, which distorts both the P&L and the Section 44AB audit position.
How we handle it: Recognise export revenue on invoice date at the RBI reference rate, track each invoice to its FIRC and e-BRC, and maintain a separate EEFC and receivables schedule so foreign-exchange gains and TDS credits reconcile at year end.
Manufacturing & Engineering
Common issue: Small manufacturers in and around Ambattur treat raw material, WIP and finished goods as one lump and value closing stock by guesswork, so cost of goods sold and gross margin swing wildly and the ITC on inputs is not matched to consumption.
How we handle it: Maintain a three-tier inventory ledger with a consistent valuation method, reconcile input ITC to a bill-of-materials consumption, and take a documented physical stock count at each quarter-end for audit-ready closing stock.
Restaurants & Food Service
Common issue: Restaurants mix owner drawings, staff advances and cash purchases through the till, leaving unexplained cash and a suppressed purchase record that fails both GST margin checks and any bank loan appraisal.
How we handle it: Route all purchases through the firm's bank or a petty-cash imprest with vouchers, record aggregator (Swiggy/Zomato) settlements gross with their TCS and commission split out, and keep owner drawings in a separate capital account.
Professionals & Consultants
Common issue: Doctors, architects and consultants record only banked fees and miss cash receipts and TDS-deducted receipts, so Form 26AS shows more income than the books, triggering a Section 143(1) mismatch notice.
How we handle it: Reconcile fee income to Form 26AS/AIS every quarter, book gross receipts before TDS with the TDS credit posted separately, and maintain a simple receipts-and-payments plus expense ledger for the presumptive or regular return.
Construction & Contractors
Common issue: Contractors receive running-account bills with retention money and mobilisation advances that are booked as plain income or expense, distorting turnover and hiding the retention receivable that matters for both tax and working-capital finance.
How we handle it: Account for each contract with separate ledgers for gross bills, retention receivable, mobilisation advance and TDS under Section 194C, and recognise revenue on certified work done so turnover and margin are stated correctly.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Closing stock AS-2Retail

Closing stock at NRV avoided AS-2 audit qualification

Issue: A garments retailer with closing stock of Rs 68 lakh was valuing inventory at cost on FIFO basis. End-of-season unsold stock of approx Rs 14 lakh had been marked down 50% in store but was still being carried at cost in the books, breaching AS-2 paragraph 24 which requires lower of cost or net realisable value.
Approach: Conducted item-wise NRV assessment for end-of-season SKUs; wrote down Rs 7 lakh to align book value with NRV; introduced quarterly stock-valuation review with category-wise NRV testing; separated current-season and prior-season inventory in stock ledger.
Outcome: Audit qualification on AS-2 avoided; income-tax-deductible write-down of Rs 7 lakh claimed under Section 145A read with valuation method; clean inventory ageing for next FY.
Suspense accountHealthcare

Suspense account of Rs 1.4 lakh cleared after 14 months

Issue: A specialty clinic with annual revenue of Rs 2.8 crore had a suspense account balance of Rs 1.4 lakh carried for 14 months. Routine bank credits without remittance details, OPD-cash variances, and unidentified TDS deductions had been parked there. Auditor flagged it as a material unreconciled item.
Approach: Traced each entry to source: matched Rs 78,000 against 26AS TDS credits with hospital empanelment receipts, identified Rs 42,000 of OPD-cash short-banking variance and recovered from cashier, attributed Rs 20,000 to insurance-cashless settlement timing; cleared the balance fully; introduced 30-day suspense ageing rule.
Outcome: Suspense account zeroed; OPD cash-control SOP implemented; 26AS reconciliation now monthly; audit qualification withdrawn; cleaner cash flow visibility.
Software migrationRetail

Tally migration to Zoho Books completed without audit-trail break

Issue: A retail chain migrated from Tally to Zoho Books mid-year. The audit-trail requirement under Rule 3(1) proviso of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 effective 1 April 2023 mandated continuous edit-log preservation. A naive migration risked breaking the chain — Tally edit logs ending at one date and Zoho logs starting later — exposing the company to CARO 2020 Clause (xi)(b) qualified reporting and Section 128(6) penalty.
Approach: We froze the Tally environment with full data export and an independent CA's certification of closing balances, ran Zoho Books with opening balances as on migration date supported by a reconciliation statement, retained the Tally data file in read-only mode for 8 years per Section 128(5), ensured Zoho audit-trail was enabled from day one with admin override disabled, and obtained an SOC-2 report from Zoho establishing platform-level controls.
Outcome: Auditor issued unqualified CARO Clause (xi)(b) reporting; migration completed in 14 days without operational disruption; ₹8 lakh first-year saving on Tally enterprise renewal; engagement SOP updated for software-migration projects.
EmbezzlementHospitality

Outsourced bookkeeping replaces in-house clerk after embezzlement discovered

Issue: A hospitality client's in-house accountant had quietly siphoned ₹11 lakh over 18 months through unauthorised vendor payments, ghost invoices, and reversed deposits. Bank reconciliations had been signed off without scrutiny and the books showed deceptive balance. The client faced cash-flow distress, Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act exposure on bounced cheques, and Section 405 IPC criminal-breach-of-trust prosecution against the employee.
Approach: We replaced the in-house function with our outsourced retainer at ₹5,000 monthly, deployed segregation-of-duties controls (data-entry versus approval versus reconciliation), enforced monthly bank-reconciliation sign-off by a designated partner, recovered ₹6.4 lakh through cheque-bounce and Section 405 IPC criminal proceedings against the former employee, and rebuilt opening balances using Bankers' Books Evidence Act 1891 certified statements.
Outcome: Books rebuilt within 6 weeks; ₹6.4 lakh recovery achieved; ongoing fraud risk reduced through external-controls model; total cost ₹60,000 per annum against ₹4.8 lakh CTC of previous in-house clerk — net saving ₹4.2 lakh plus fraud-loss prevention.

Why these Anna Nagar engagements look the way they do: Where Anna Nagar differs: the cluster of healthcare, retail, education businesses that defines Anna Nagar's commercial fabric. We see for the professional and salaried population of Anna Nagar navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.

What Anna Nagar Clients Say

Ramesh A

“FilingPro took over our Tally Prime books from a mid-sized previous accountant. Within the first month they re-grouped the trial balance to Schedule III Division I, fixed three years of mis-classified leasehold improvements and reconciled GSTR-2B against our purchase register flagging ₹3.4 lakh of unmatched ITC. Audit closed without any qualification.”

“We were running QuickBooks Online till the India sunset. FilingPro migrated 4 years of transactions to Zoho Books with full audit-trail preservation, mapped vendors with Udyam status for Section 43B(h) compliance and built a monthly MIS dashboard. Their attention to ICAI standards is genuinely senior-level work.”

“Ind AS migration of our trading company crossing the ₹250 crore net worth threshold. FilingPro handled Schedule III Division II re-presentation, Ind AS 116 Right-of-Use lease asset accounting for our 6 godowns and Ind AS 109 ECL on trade receivables. The first audited Ind AS financials went through cleanly with no auditor adjustment.”

Venkatesh M

“Our payroll for 38 employees was a mess — PF and ESI dues aging beyond Checkmate Services threshold. FilingPro re-architected the payroll register, set up daily statutory aging in Tally and ensured Section 36(1)(va) compliance. Tax audit Form 3CD clause 20 came through clean — no disallowance for the year.”

Lakshmanan P

“Year-end closure for FY 2024-25 was complex with the new Section 43B(h) MSME provision. FilingPro extracted Udyam-classified vendor aging from Tally, computed the 45-day cut-off and added back ₹17 lakh of unpaid balances in our tax computation. Form 3CD clause 22 was watertight.”

“Multi-entity consolidation for a holding company plus 3 subsidiaries — FilingPro took on Tally postings for all 4 entities, prepared elimination entries for inter-company sales and loans, and produced a consolidated Schedule III Division II Balance Sheet. The CARO 2020 21-clause reporting was audit-ready on day 1 of the engagement.”

Common Questions

Bookkeeping FAQ — Anna Nagar

Common questions from Anna Nagar clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

SA 315 (Revised) requires the auditor to identify and assess risks of material misstatement (RoMM) at the financial statement level and at the assertion level (existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation, presentation, classification, occurrence, cut-off and rights & obligations). The bookkeeper must support RoMM assessment by furnishing — entity-level controls documentation, IT general controls (Tally backup, audit trail under Companies Amendment Rules 2022), accounting policies under AS-1 / Ind AS 1, judgemental areas (provisions, estimates), related party register and significant transactions schedule. Audit trail edit-log in accounting software is mandatory from 1 April 2023 under Rule 3(1) Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014.
Ind AS 116 'Leases' (effective 1 April 2019) eliminates the operating vs finance lease classification for lessees. All leases > 12 months and above low-value threshold are recognised on the balance sheet as a Right-of-Use asset and a corresponding Lease Liability at the present value of fixed lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate. Subsequently, ROU is depreciated and Lease Liability is unwound through interest expense. Short-term and low-value leases continue with straight-line P&L charge. Office, factory, warehouse and equipment leases of Indian companies under Ind AS framework now appear on the balance sheet — significantly altering net worth and gearing ratios.
Our Bookkeeping fees are fixed and shared in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprises. Pricing depends on the complexity of your case, not your location, so Anna Nagar clients pay the same transparent rates as everyone else. See the pricing section above or call 9566-068-468 for an exact figure.
Section 128(5) of the Companies Act 2013 requires books of account, vouchers and financial statements to be preserved for not less than 8 financial years immediately preceding a financial year. Where an investigation has been ordered under Chapter XIV, the Central Government may direct preservation for a longer period. Under Section 35 of the CGST Act 2017 records are preserved for 72 months from the due date of furnishing of annual return for that year. Under Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act read with Rule 6F books are preserved for 6 years from the end of the assessment year.
Schedule III prescribes the format of the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit & Loss and Notes. Division I applies to companies preparing financial statements as per Indian GAAP (Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021 — AS-1 to AS-29). Division II applies to companies preparing financial statements under Ind AS (Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 — Ind AS 1 to 116). Division III applies to NBFCs preparing financial statements under Ind AS, with a vertical balance sheet format reflecting financial-services line items. The roadmap for Ind AS applicability is governed by Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 read with net-worth thresholds.
Yes. Every Accounting & Bookkeeping engagement comes with a GST invoice and copies of all filings, acknowledgements and challans for your records. Anna Nagar clients receive a clean, documented trail they can rely on later.
Section 134 of the Companies Act 2013 requires the Board of Directors to attach a Board's Report to the financial statements covering — extract of annual return Section 92(3), number of Board meetings, Directors' Responsibility Statement Section 134(5), declaration of independence, policy on directors' appointment and remuneration, comments on auditor's qualifications, particulars of loans/investments under Section 186, AOC-2 related party transactions Section 188, state of company affairs, transfer to reserves, dividend, material changes after year-end, conservation of energy/technology absorption/forex earnings & outgo, risk management, CSR Section 135, formal annual evaluation, and annexures including secretarial audit MR-3 where applicable.
Ind AS 109 'Financial Instruments' replaced AS-30/31/32 and prescribes the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for impairment of financial assets — replacing the AS 'incurred loss' model. ECL is computed in three stages: Stage 1 (12-month ECL for performing assets), Stage 2 (lifetime ECL for assets with significant credit deterioration), Stage 3 (lifetime ECL for credit-impaired assets). For trade receivables, the simplified approach permits a provision matrix based on historical loss experience adjusted for forward-looking information. NBFCs apply full three-stage ECL with PD x LGD x EAD computation under RBI Master Direction.
The exact list depends on your case, but we send a short, plain-English checklist the moment you engage us — no jargon. Anna Nagar clients can share documents as phone photos or scans over WhatsApp on 9566-068-468, and we flag immediately if anything is missing.
AS-1 'Disclosure of Accounting Policies' and Ind AS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' require the financial statements to be prepared on a going-concern basis unless management intends to liquidate or has no realistic alternative. Going-concern indicators per SA 570 (Going Concern) — recurring losses, negative net worth, working capital deficiency, default on borrowing, breach of debt covenants, supplier credit denial, withdrawal of customer support, key personnel exit, pending major litigation. Where material uncertainty exists, disclosure is mandatory in notes and the auditor reports under SA 570 with a separate paragraph.
The trial balance is a list of all ledger balances (debits and credits) at a point in time used to verify mathematical accuracy of double-entry bookkeeping. Closing trial balance is the basis on which Schedule III Division I/II financial statements are prepared — balance sheet items mapped to Note 1-Equity, Note 2-Borrowings, Note 3-Provisions, etc., and P&L items mapped to revenue, COGS, employee benefit expense, finance cost, depreciation, other expenses. Tally Prime offers a regrouped trial balance with Schedule III mapping. The trial balance is also the starting point for Form 3CD clause-wise schedules and CARO 2020 reporting.
Delays in statutory work can mean penalties, interest or blocked services that usually cost far more than acting on time. For Anna Nagar clients we track the relevant due dates and remind you in advance so Bookkeeping stays on schedule. Call 9566-068-468 if you suspect you have already missed a deadline.
Yes. Section 128(1) of the Companies Act 2013 requires every company to prepare and keep at its registered office books of account and other relevant books and papers and financial statements for every financial year giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company on accrual basis and double entry system. Section 128(2) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 permits books of account to be maintained in electronic mode provided they remain accessible in India at all times, are retained completely in their original format and a back-up server is located in India.
Section 129(1) of the Companies Act 2013 mandates that financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company, comply with the accounting standards notified under Section 133, be in the form provided in Schedule III and contain disclosures specified by SEBI for listed companies. 'True and fair' is the cornerstone — financial statements must reflect economic substance, follow consistent accounting policies disclosed under AS-1 / Ind AS 1, recognise all known liabilities including contingent liabilities under AS-29 / Ind AS 37 and apply the matching and prudence principles.
Section 188 of the Companies Act 2013 requires Board approval for related party transactions and shareholder approval for material transactions exceeding prescribed thresholds (10% of turnover for sale/purchase of goods, 10% of net worth for borrowing/lending). Form AOC-2 disclosure of arm's length determination is annexed to Board's Report under Section 134(3)(h). AS-18 / Ind AS 24 require disclosure of name of related party, relationship, transaction value, outstanding balance, write-offs and pricing basis (arm's length or otherwise). KMP, relatives of KMP, holding/subsidiary/associate companies and entities under common control are within scope.
AS-9 recognises revenue on transfer of significant risks and rewards (sale of goods) and on a proportionate basis as services are rendered. Ind AS 115 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' applies the 5-step model — (1) identify the contract, (2) identify performance obligations, (3) determine transaction price, (4) allocate transaction price to performance obligations, (5) recognise revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied. The Ind AS 115 framework requires variable consideration assessment, financing component for deferred payments > 12 months, principal vs agent assessment and contract asset/liability disclosure.
