26 ITFG Bulletin 7 1. If a foreign currency loan is partially drawn down before the beginning of the first Ind AS financial reporting period and the remaining amount is drawn down during the first Ind AS reporting period, then the exemption available under para D13AA of Ind AS 101 is available only for foreign currency loans drawn and recognised in the financial statements immediately before the beginning of the first Ind AS financial reporting period. 2. Exemption under Ind AS 101, para D13AA relates to accounting for foreign exchange differences on long term monetary items. The exemption cannot be applied to accounting for long-term forward contracts since these derivatives are within the scope of Ind AS If an entity adopts the previous GAAP deemed cost exemption for PP&E as per para D7AA of Ind AS 101, then it cannot reverse the impact of any exchange differences capitalised under the previous Indian GAAP. 26

27 ITFG Bulletin 7 4. Accounting of dividend on financial instrument which is classified as financial liability (e.g. preference shares) is governed by classification of such instrument under Ind AS 109. If the liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost, dividend will be accrued as part of the interest expense based on Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method, even if it is declared after the end of the reporting period. 5. Lease of land for 99 years and above shall be classified as finance lease when the lease transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership. For instance, when at the inception of the lease the present value of minimum lease payments (MLP) amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased land. 6. Deferred tax on freehold land should be recognised where the freehold land is not expected to be sold on slump sale. If it is concluded based on evaluation of facts that land will be sold through slump sale, then tax base of such land will be equal to its carrying value (as indexation benefit is not available under slump sale under Income Tax Act) and therefore there will not be any temporary difference. 27

28 ITFG Bulletin 7 7. If parent company invests in debentures issued by a subsidiary and such debentures meet the definition of equity as per Ind AS 32 from the issuer's perspective (i.e. subsidiary), then such investment can be considered to be part of parent's investment in subsidiary and can be accounted under Ind AS 27 Separate Financial Statements, else it will be accounted under Ind AS Para D22 of Ind AS 101 provides an exemption from retrospective change in accounting policy for amortisation of intangible assets arising from service concession arrangements in respect of toll roads recognised in the financial statements before the beginning of first Ind AS reporting period. The exemption cannot be availed with respect to toll roads which are under development or construction as at beginning of the first Ind AS reporting period and for which amortisation has not begun. 9. Ind AS does not prohibit use of any currency as presentation currency. If a Company is statutorily required to present its financial statements in INR which is different from its functional currency, then the entity may do so by choosing INR as the presentation currency and translating the functional currency transactions/balances to INR. Auditor of such company will be required to give audit report on financial statements in INR. 28
