Hi All,

I have a query regarding the applicability of revised schedule VI. A Company has been incorporated on 08.03.2011 and prepared its first balance sheet for the period of 08.03.2011 to 31.03.2012 as per revised schedule vi.

However, as per MCA notification, revised schedule VI is applicable for Balance Sheet for FY starting on or after 01.04.2011.

Now please share whether the aforesaid Balance Sheet has been correctly prepared (as per revised schedule vi) or not?

Kindly provide your opinion with supporting.

Regards,

CA Vivek Garg

Buddy, You have prepared the Balance Sheet correctly as per the revised schedule VI. 23 days does not make any difference. The Balance Sheet has to be prepared as per the revised schedule VI. See to that you enter the Incorporation date in the financial year column of the balance sheet. Confidently go ahead with compilation & confirm the same by presenting before the Board of Directors and file the same to ROC.

No the aforesaid Balance Sheet should have been prepared as per Pre-Revised Schedule-VI because it is Statutory format & its early adoption is prohibitted. The fact has also been mentioned in the ICAI's Guidance note. Im attching a relevant extract of the same.

Mr.Ghosh What you have said is absolutely right. But in this case the balance sheet is prepared 31st march, 2012. So Logically speaking he has to prepare the revised one.

The financials have to be prepared in the old schedule VI format as compliance with schedule VI is mandatory. The revised schedule vi is effective for financial year commencing on or after 1st April 2011 only.

If prepared incorrectly in revised schedule VI, then the financials will be invalid as the same are not in accordance with Companies Act, 1956.
