As you may be aware, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued certain new IFRSs and revised some others recently. The new/revised IFRSs/IASs would be applicable from January 2013. Further, the date of applicability of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind ASs) is yet to be notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. In view of the above and considering the fact that if Ind ASs become applicable from 2012, the companies would apply them for the year 2012-2013 only and the new Standards would become applicable to them from the year 2013, we have recently considered and approved the recommendations on the revised roadmap for the applicability of the Ind ASs, convergent with the IFRSs, and sent the same to the Government for its consideration.
