11 October 2008 In India, you can do B/Sheets seperate dates for Companies / Income Tax

1. Income Tax you have to prepare the B/Sheet as on (April-March)31st March.

2. Companies Act asking only 12 months B/Sheet Only any period they not ask.

3. Thatsway most of people do same date for Income Tax / Company March, there is no problem of explanation

Note: Some of the US / UK companies in India do the B/Sheets December for Companies Act, March for Income Tax Act.
Otherwise has to prepare two B/Sheets
