Scope of IND AS 19
The scope of IND AS 19 extends to various types of employee benefits, including short-term and long-term
benefits, termination benefits, and other post-employment benefits.
Short-term employee benefits: Short-term employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders service. These benefits include
salaries, wages, bonuses, and short-term compensated absences, such as sick leave and vacation leave. IND
AS 19 requires companies to recognize the cost of short-term employee benefits as an expense in the period
in which the employee renders service.
Long-term employee benefits: Long-term employee benefits are benefits that are expected to be settled
more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders service. These benefits
include pensions, gratuity, and long-term compensated absences, such as sabbatical leave. IND AS 19
requires companies to recognize the cost of long-term employee benefits as an expense in the period in
which the employee renders service.
Termination benefits: Termination benefits are benefits that are paid to employees as a result of
termination of employment. These benefits include severance pay, early retirement benefits, and other
similar benefits. IND AS 19 requires companies to recognize the cost of termination benefits as an expense
when the company is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees
or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.
Other post-employment benefits: Other post-employment benefits are benefits that are provided to
employees after they retire or leave the company. These benefits include post-employment medical care,
life insurance, and housing. IND AS 19 requires companies to recognize the cost of other post-employment
benefits as an expense in the period in which the employee renders service, based on the present value of
the expected future payments to employees.

Indian Accounting Standard 33 – Earnings per Share
Earnings per share is a method used to review the performance of an entity. As the term itself denotes it
simply means determining the profit attributable to each share. Such information is required to understand
the return on investment for the shareholders and prospective investors.
Diluted earnings per share: The diluted earnings per share are computed by adjusting the profit or loss
and ordinary shares for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary share. The numerator will be the profit
or loss as computed for basic earnings per share adjusted by the after-tax effect of the
dividends or any other items that are related to dilutive potential ordinary shares that are deducted
in computing basic earnings per share.
interest in the period related to dilutive potential ordinary shares that are recognized
changes in income or expense that would be due to the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary
share.
Sandesh DSouza, Assistant Professor, Department of Commerce, St Philomena’s College(Autonomous) Mysore pg. 4
Module No. 2 Disclosures in the Financial Statements
The denominator is the weighted average number of ordinary shares as per the computation of basic
earnings per share plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued on conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
Potential ordinary shares will be dilutive only when their conversion to ordinary shares reduces the earnings
per share or increase the loss per share from continuing operations.
Definitions
The following terms are used in the standard with the meanings specified Anti Dilution is the increase in
the earnings per share or reduction in the loss per share that results from the assumption that convertible
instruments are converted, options or warrants exercised or that ordinary share are issued upon the
satisfaction of specified conditions.
A contingent share agreement is an agreement that is dependent on the satisfaction of conditions for the
issue of shares. Contingently issuable ordinary shares are issued on the satisfaction of specified conditions
in a contingent share agreement for consideration or otherwise. Dilution is the reduction in the earnings per
share or increase in the loss per share that results from the assumption that convertible instruments are
converted, options or warrants exercised or that ordinary share are issued upon the satisfaction of specified
conditions.
Options, warrants and their equivalent give the holder the right to purchase an ordinary share. An ordinary
share is an equity instrument that is subordinate to all equity instruments. A potential ordinary share is an
instrument that may entitle its holder to ordinary shares. Put options on ordinary shares are contracts that
give the holder the right to sell ordinary shares at a specified price for a given period.

Leases (Ind AS 116):
Introduction:
Ind AS 116 is the Indian Accounting Standard that prescribes the principles for recognition,
measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases.
It replaces the previous standard on leases, Ind AS 17, and introduces significant changes,
particularly for lessees.
Key Definitions:
Lease: A contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an underlying asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration.
Lessee: The entity that obtains the right to use an underlying asset for a lease term.
Lessor: The entity that provides the right to use an underlying asset for a lease term.
Lessee Accounting:
Lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except for
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets (optional exemptions).
Right-of-use asset: An asset that represents the lessee's right to use the underlying leased asset
during the lease term.
Lease liability: A liability that represents the lessee's obligation to make lease payments.
Measurement:
Right-of-use asset: Initially measured at cost, comprising the initial amount of the lease liability,
initial direct costs, and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any
lease incentives received.
Lease liability: Initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot
be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequent Measurement:
Right-of-use asset: Measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
Lease liability: Measured using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized in
profit or loss.
For Lessees:
1. Lease Assets and Lease Liabilities:
- Carrying amount of right-of-use assets by class of underlying asset at the end of the reporting
period: This disclosure requires the lessee to present the carrying amount of right-of-use assets, which
represent the lessee's right to use the underlying leased assets, separately for different classes of underlying
assets like buildings, equipment, vehicles, etc.
- Additions to right-of-use assets during the reporting period: The lessee should disclose the total
additions made to the right-of-use assets during the reporting period, which could arise from new leases or

and five years, and after five years.
