Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) had previously announced the notification of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 117: Insurance Contracts, on 12 August, 2024. This standard replaced the interim standard Ind AS 104: Insurance Contracts, and came into effect for annual reporting periods starting on or after 1 April, 2024. While Ind AS 117 was notified, the implementation roadmap for insurance companies was not provided at that time.
To address the anticipated challenges insurers might face in complying with the complex requirements of Ind AS 117, the MCA subsequently introduced the proviso to Rule 5 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 vide the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Third Amendment Rules, 2024. The insurers are permitted to continue to prepare their financial statements in accordance with Ind AS 104 for submission to their parent company, investor, or venturer for the purpose of consolidating financial statements until the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) mandates the application of Ind AS 117.
Ind AS 117 will continue to apply to the entities that are not insurers or insurance companies, with effect from 1 April 2024. Ind AS 117 is relevant not only to insurance companies but also to any entity that enters into contracts which are considered to be insurance contracts. The standard sets out principles for accounting for such contracts, which means entities can no longer rely on previous accounting practices such as Ind AS 115 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) or Ind AS 109 (Financial Instruments), unless there is a specific exemption provided by Ind AS 117. The present book also contains a detailed illustrated commentary on Ind AS 117.
