An entity shall apply this Standard, including the use of any practical expedients, consistently to contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances. 4 This Standard specifies the accounting for an individual contract with a customer. However, as a practical expedient, an entity may apply this Standard to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics if the entity reasonably expects that the effects on the financial statements of applying this Standard to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this Standard to the individual contracts (or performance obligations) within that portfolio. When accounting for a portfolio, an entity shall use estimates and assumptions that reflect the size and composition of the portfolio. Scope 5 An entity shall apply this Standard to all contracts with customers, except the following: (a) lease contracts within the scope of Ind AS 17, Leases; (b) insurance contracts within t .....

An entity shall apply those paragraphs only to the costs incurred that relate to a contract with a customer (or part of that contract) that is within the scope of this Standard. Recognition Identifying the contract 9 An entity shall account for a contract with a customer that is within the scope of this Standard only when all of the following criteria are met: (a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations; (b) the entity can identify each party s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred; (c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred; (d) the contract has commercial substance (i.e. the risk, timing or amount of the entity s future cash flows is e .....

For example, if a customer s ability to pay the consideration deteriorates significantly, an entity would reassess whether it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for the remaining goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. 14 If a contract with a customer does not meet the criteria in paragraph 9, an entity shall continue to assess the contract to determine whether the criteria in paragraph 9 are subsequently met. 15 When a contract with a customer does not meet the criteria in paragraph 9 and an entity receives consideration from the customer, the entity shall recognise the consideration received as revenue only when either of the following events has occurred: (a) the entity has no remaining obligations to transfer goods or services to the customer and all, or substantially all, of the consideration promised by the customer has been received by the entity and is non-refundable; or (b) the contract has been terminated and the consideration re .....

If the parties to a contract have approved a change in the scope of the contract but have not yet determined the corresponding change in price, an entity shall estimate the change to the transaction price arising from the modification in accordance with paragraphs 50 54 on estimating variable consideration and paragraphs 56 58 on constraining estimates of variable consideration. 20 An entity shall account for a contract modification as a separate contract if both of the following conditions are present: (a) the scope of the contract increases because of the addition of promised goods or services that are distinct (in accordance with paragraphs 26 30); and (b) the price of the contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the entity s stand-alone selling prices of the additional promised goods or services and any appropriate adjustments to that price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract. For example, an entity may adjust the stand-alone selling price of an additional goo .....

For some goods or services, a customer may be able to benefit from a good or service on its own. For other goods or services, a customer may be able to benefit from the good or service only in conjunction with other readily available resources. A .....

An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. 32 For each performance obligation identified in accordance with paragraphs 22 30, an entity shall determine at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time (in accordance with paragraphs 35 37) or satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time (in accordance with paragraph 38). If an entity does not satisfy a performance obligation over time, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. 33 Goods and services are assets, even if only momentarily, when they are received and used (as in the case of many services). Control of an asset refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. Control includes the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from, an asset. The benefits of an asset are the potential cash flows (inflows or savings in outflows) that can be obtained directly or indirectly in many ways, such as by: (a) using the asset to produce goods or provide services (including public services) .....

Paragraphs B9 B13 provide guidance for assessing the existence and enforceability of a right to payment and whether an entity s right to payment would entitle the entity to be paid for its performance completed to date. Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time 38 If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time in accordance with paragraphs 35 37, an entity satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset and the entity satisfies a performance obligation, the entity shall consider the requirements for control in paragraphs 31 34. In addition, an entity shall consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) The entity has a present right to payment for the asset-if a customer is presently obliged to pay for an asset, then that may indicate that the customer has obtained the ability to direct the use of, and ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... y to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. To evaluate the effect of a contractual customer acceptance clause on when control of an asset is transferred, an entity shall consider the guidance in paragraphs B83 B86. Measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation 39 For each performance obligation satisfied over time in accordance with paragraphs 35 37, an entity shall recognise revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The objective when measuring progress is to depict an entity s performance in transferring control of goods or services promised to a customer (ie the satisfaction of an entity s performance obligation). 40 An entity shall apply a single method of measuring progress for each performance obligation satisfied over time and the entity shall apply that method consistently to similar performance obligations and in similar circumstances. At the end of each reporting period, an entity shall remeasure its progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation satisfied over time. Methods for measuring p .....

Determining the transaction price 47 An entity shall consider the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. 48 The nature, timing and amount of consideration promised by a customer affect the estimate of the transaction price. When determining the transaction price, an entity shall consider the effects of all of the following: (a) variable consideration (see paragraphs 50 55 and 59); (b) constraining estimates of variable consideration (see paragraphs 56 58); (c) the existence of a significant financing component in the contract (see paragraphs 60 65); (d) non-cash consideration (see paragraphs 66 69); and (e) consideration payable to a customer (see paragraphs 70 72). 49 For the purpose of determining the transaction .....

An expected value may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if an entity has a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. (b) The most likely amount-the most likely amount is the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts (ie the single most likely outcome of the contract). The most likely amount may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if the contract has only two possible outcomes (for example, an entity either achieves a performance bonus or does not). 54 An entity shall apply one method consistently throughout the contract when estimating the effect of an uncertainty on an amount of variable consideration to which th ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... out the amount of consideration is not expected to be resolved for a long period of time. (c) the entity s experience (or other evidence) with similar types of contracts is limited, or that experience (or other evidence) has limited predictive value. (d) the entity has a practice of either offering a broad range of price concessions or changing the payment terms and conditions of similar contracts in similar circumstances. (e) the contract has a large number and broad range of possible consideration amounts. 58 An entity shall apply paragraph B63 to account for consideration in the form of a salesbased or usage-based royalty that is promised in exchange for a licence of intellectual property. Reassessment of variable consideration 59 At the end of each reporting period, an entity shall update the estimated transaction price (including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained) to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period. The entity shall account for changes in the transaction price in accordance with paragraphs 87 9 ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... f the consideration is a salesbased royalty). (c) the difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the good or service (as described in paragraph 61) arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or the entity, and the difference between those amounts is proportional to the reason for the difference. For example, the payment terms might provide the entity or the customer with protection from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract. 63 As a practical expedient, an entity need not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the entity expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. 64 To meet the objective in paragraph 61 when adjusting the promised amount of consideration for a significant financing component, an entity shall use the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the entity and its customer at contra .....

Consideration payable to a customer 70 Consideration payable to a customer includes cash amounts that an entity pays, or expects to pay, to the customer (or to other parties that purchase the entity s goods or services from the customer). Consideration payable to a customer also includes credit or other items (for example, a coupon or voucher) that can be applied against amounts owed to the entity (or to other parties that purchase the entity s goods or services from the customer). An entity shall account for consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of the transaction price and, therefore, of revenue unless the payment to the customer is in exchange for a distinct good or service (as described in paragraphs 26 30) that the customer transfers to the entity. If the consideration payable to a customer includes a variable amount, an entity shall estimate the transaction price (including assessing whether the estimate of variable consideration is constrained) in accordance with paragraphs 50 58. 71 If consideration payable to a customer is a payment for a distinct good or service from the customer, t .....

The best evidence of a stand-alone selling price is the observable price of a good or service when the entity sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. A contractually stated price or a list price for a good or service may be (but shall not be presumed to be) the stand-alone selling price of that good or service. 78 If a stand-alone selling price is not directly observable, an entity shall estimate the standalone selling price at an amount that would result in the allocation of the transaction price meeting the allocation objective in paragraph 73. When estimating a stand-alone selling price, an entity shall consider all information (including market conditions, entity-specific factors and information about the customer or class ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... relative to that estimated aggregate stand-alone selling price determined by the residual approach. When an entity uses a combination of methods to estimate the stand-alone selling price of each promised good or service in the contract, the entity shall evaluate whether allocating the transaction price at those estimated standalone selling prices would be consistent with the allocation objective in paragraph 73 and the requirements for estimating stand-alone selling prices in paragraph 78. Allocation of a discount 81 A customer receives a discount for purchasing a bundle of goods or services if the sum of the stand-alone selling prices of those promised goods or services in the contract exceeds the promised consideration in a contract. Except when an entity has observable evidence in accordance with paragraph 82 that the entire discount relates to only one or more, but not all, performance obligations in a contract, the entity shall allocate a discount proportionately to all performance obligations in the contract. The proportionate allocation of the discount in those circumstances is a consequence of the entity allocating the transaction price to each performance obligati .....

Changes in the transaction price 87 After contract inception, the transaction price can change for various reasons, including the resolution of uncertain events or other changes in circumstances that change the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. 88 An entity shall allocate to the performance obligations in the contract any subsequent changes in the transaction price on the same basis as at contrac .....

Costs to fulfil a contract 95 If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scope of another Standard (for example, Ind AS 2, Inventories, Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment or Ind AS 38, Intangible Assets), an entity shall recognise an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria: (a) the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the entity can specifically identify (for example, costs relating to services to be provided under renewal of an existing contract or costs of designing an asset to be transferred under a specific contract that has not yet been approved); (b) the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to sa ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. Such a change shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with Ind AS 8. 101 An entity shall recognise an impairment loss in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset recognised in accordance with paragraph 91 or 95 exceeds: (a) the remaining amount of consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to which the asset relates; less (b) the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognised as expenses (see paragraph 97). 102 For the purposes of applying paragraph 101 to determine the amount of consideration that an entity expects to receive, an entity shall use the principles for determining the transaction price (except for the requirements in paragraphs 56 58 on constraining estimates of variable consideration) and adjust that amount to reflect the effects of the customer s credit risk. 103 Before an entity recognises an impairment loss for an asset recognised in accordance with paragraph 91 or 95, the entity shall recognise any impairment loss for assets related t .....

A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. For example, an entity would recognise a receivable if it has a present right to payment even though that amount may be subject to refund in the future. An entity shall account for a receivable in accordance with Ind AS 109. Upon initial recognition of a receivable from a contract with a customer, any difference between the measurement of the receivable in accordance with Ind AS 109 and the corresponding amount of revenue recognised shall be presented as an expense (for example, as an impairment loss). 109 This Standard uses the terms contract asset and contract liability but does not prohibit an entity from using alternative descriptions in the balance sheet for those items. If an entity uses an alternative description for a contract asset, the entity shall provide sufficient information for a user of the financial statements to distinguish between receivables and contract assets. 109AA An entity shall present separately the amount of excise duty included in the reve .....

Assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer 127 An entity shall describe both of the following: (a) the judgements made in determining the amount of the costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer (in accordance with paragraph 91 or 95); and (b) the method it uses to determine the amortisation for each reporting period. 128 An entity shall disclose all of the following: (a) the closing balances of assets recognised from the costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer (in accordance with paragraph 91 or 95), by main category of asset (for example, costs to obtain contracts with customers, precontract costs and setup costs); and (b) the amount of amortisation and any impairment losses recognised in the reporting period.

Appendix B Application Guidance This appendix is an integral part of the Standard. It describes the application of paragraphs 1 29 and has the same authority as the other parts of the Standard. B1 This application guidance is organised into the following categories: (a) performance obligations satisfied over time (paragraphs B2 B13); (b) methods for measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation (paragraphs B14 B19); (c) sale with a right of return (paragraphs B20 B27); (d) warranties (paragraphs B28 B33); (e) principal versus agent considerations (paragraphs B34 B38); (f) customer options for additional goods or services (paragraphs B39 B43); (g) customers unexercised rights (paragraphs B44 B47); (h) non-refundable upfront fees (and some related costs) (paragraphs B48 B51); (i) licensing (paragraphs B52 B63); (j) repurchase agreements (paragraphs B64 B76); (k) consignment arrangements (paragraphs B77 B78); (l) bill-and-hold arrangements (paragraphs B79 B82); (m) customer acceptance (paragraphs B83 B86); and (n) disclosure o .....

Customer controls the asset as it is created or enhanced (paragraph 35(b)) B5 In determining whether a customer controls an asset as it is created or enhanced in accordance with paragraph 35(b), an entity shall apply the requirements for control in paragraphs 31 34 and 38. The asset that is being created or enhanced (for example, a work-in-progress asset) could be either tangible or intangible. Entity s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use (paragraph 35(c)) B6 In assessing whether an asset has an alternative use to an entity in accordance with paragraph 36, an entity shall consider the effects of contractual restrictions and practical limitations on the entity s ability to readily direct that asset for another use, such as selling it to a different customer. The possibility of the contract with the customer being terminated is not a relevant consideration in assessing whether the entity would be able to readily direct the asset for another use. B7 A contractual restriction on an entity s ability to direct an asset .....

B10 An entity s right to payment for performance completed to date need not be a present unconditional right to payment. In many cases, an entity will have an unconditional right to payment only at an agreed-upon milestone or upon complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. In assessing whether it has a right to payment for performance completed to date, an entity shall consider whether it would have an enforceable right to demand or retain payment for performance completed to date if the contract were to be terminated before completion for reasons other than the entity s failure to perform as promised. B11 In some contracts, a customer may have a right to terminate the contract only at specified times during the life of the contract or the customer might not have any right to terminate the contract. If a customer acts to terminate a contract without having the right to terminate the contract at that time (includ .....

Output methods B15 Output methods recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. Output methods include methods such as surveys of performance completed to date, appraisals of results achieved, milestones reached, time elapsed and units produced or units delivered. When an entity evaluates whether to apply an output method to measure its progress, the entity shall consider whether the output selected would faithfully depict the entity s performance towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. An output method would not provide a faithful depiction of the entity s performance if the output selected would fail to measure some of the goods or services for which control h .....

(b) When a cost incurred is not proportionate to the entity s progress in satisfying the performance obligation. In those circumstances, the best depiction of the entity s performance may be to adjust the input method to recognise revenue only to the extent of that cost incurred. For example, a faithful depiction of an entity s performance might be to recognise revenue at an amount equal to the cost of a good used to satisfy a performance obligation if the entity expects at contract inception that all of the following conditions would be met: (i) the good is not distinct; (ii) the customer is expected to obtain control of the good significantly before receiving services related to the good; (iii) the cost of the transferred good is significant relative to the total expected costs to completely satisfy the performance obligation; and (iv) the entity procures the good from a third party and is not significantly involved in design .....

B24 An entity shall update the measurement of the refund liability at the end of each reporting period for changes in expectations about the amount of refunds. An entity shall recognise corresponding adjustments as revenue (or reductions of revenue). B25 An asset recognised for an entity s right to recover products from a customer on settling a refund liability shall initially be measured by reference to the former carrying amount of the product (for example, inventory) less any expected costs to recover those products (including potential decreases in the value to the entity of returned products). At the end of each reporting period, an entity shall update the measurement of the asset arising from changes in expectations about products to be returned. An entity shall present the asset separately from the refund liability. B26 Exchanges by customers of one product for another of the same type, quality, conditi .....

(b) The length of the warranty coverage period-the longer the coverage period, the more likely it is that the promised warranty is a performance obligation because it is more likely to provide a service in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. (c) The nature of the tasks that the entity promises to perform-if it is necessary for an entity to perform specified tasks to provide the assurance that a product complies with agreed-upon specifications (for example, a return shipping service for a defective product), then those tasks likely do not give rise to a performance obligation. B32 If a warranty, or a part of a warranty, provides a customer with a service in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, the promised service is a performance obligation. Therefore, an entity shall allocate the transaction price to the product and the service. If an entity promises both an assurance-type warranty and a service-type warranty but cannot reasonably account for them separately, the entity shall account for both of the warranties together as a single performa .....

B37 Indicators that an entity is an agent (and therefore does not control the good or service before it is provided to a customer) include the following: (a) another party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract; (b) the entity does not have inventory risk before or after the goods have been ordered by a customer, during shipping or on return; (c) the entity does not have discretion in establishing prices for the other party s goods or services and, therefore, the benefit that the entity can receive from those goods or services is limited; (d) the entity s consideration is in the form of a commission; and (e) the entity is not exposed to credit risk for the amount receivable from a customer in exchange for the other party s goods or services. B38 If another entity assumes the entity s performance obligations and contractual rights in the contract so that the entity is no longer obliged to satisfy the performance obligation to transfer the promised good or service to the customer (ie the entity is no longer acting as the principal), the entity shall not recognise revenue for ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... oods or services and those goods or services are similar to the original goods or services in the contract and are provided in accordance with the terms of the original contract, then an entity may, as a practical alternative to estimating the stand-alone selling price of the option, allocate the transaction price to the optional goods or services by reference to the goods or services expected to be provided and the corresponding expected consideration. Typically, those types of options are for contract renewals. Customers unexercised rights B44 In accordance with paragraph 106, upon receipt of a prepayment from a customer, an entity shall recognise a contract liability in the amount of the prepayment for its performance obligation to transfer, or to stand ready to transfer, goods or services in the future. An entity shall derecognise that contract liability (and recognise revenue) when it transfers those goods or services and, therefore, satisfies its performance obligation. B45 A customer s non-refundable prepayment to an entity gives the customer a right to receive a good or service in the future (and obliges the entity to stand ready to transfer a good or service). .....

B51 An entity may charge a non-refundable fee in part as compensation for costs incurred in setting up a contract (or other administrative tasks as described in paragraph 25). If those setup activities do not satisfy a performance obligation, the entity shall disregard those activities (and related costs) when measuring progress in accordance with paragraph B19. That is because the costs of setup activities do not depict the transfer of services to the customer. The entity shall assess whether costs incurred in setting up a contract have resulted in an asset that shall be recognised in accordance with paragraph 95. Licensing B52 A licence establishes a customer s rights to the intellectual property of an entity. Licences of intellectual property may include, but are not limited to, any of the following: (a) software and technology; (b) motion pictures, music and other forms of media and entertainment; (c) franchises; and (d) patents, trademarks and copyrights. B53 In addition to a promise to grant a licence to a customer, an entity may also promise to trans .....

A customer cannot direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, a licence at the point in time at which the licence is granted if the intellectual property to which the customer has rights changes throughout the licence period. The intellectual property will change (and thus affect the entity s assessment of when the customer controls the licence) when the entity continues to be involved with its intellectual property and the entity undertakes activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the customer has rights. In these cases, the licence provides the customer with a right to access the entity s intellectual property (see paragraph B58). In contrast, a customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the licence at the point in time at which the licence is granted if the intellectual property to which the customer has rights will not change (s .....

This means that the customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the licence at the point in time at which the licence transfers. An entity shall account for the promise to provide a right to use the entity s intellectual property as a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. An entity shall apply paragraph 38 to determine the point in time at which the licence transfers to the customer. However, revenue cannot be recognised for a licence that provides a right to use the entity s intellectual property before the beginning of the period during which the customer is able to use and benefit from the licence. For example, if a software licence period begins before an entity provides (or otherwise makes available) to the customer a code that enables the customer to immediately use the software, the entity would not recognise revenue before that code has been provided (or otherwise made available).

B67 When comparing the repurchase price with the selling price, an entity shall consider the time value of money. B68 If the repurchase agreement is a financing arrangement, the entity shall continue to recognise the asset and also recognise a financial liability for any consideration received from the customer. The entity shall recognise the difference between the amount of consideration received from the customer and the amount of consideration to be paid to the customer as interest and, if applicable, as processing or holding costs (for example, insurance).

A product that has been delivered to another party may be held in a consignment arrangement if that other party has not obtained control of the product. Accordingly, an entity shall not recognise revenue upon delivery of a product to another party if the delivered product is held on consignment. B78 Indicators that an arrangement is a consignment arrangement include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the product is controlled by the entity until a specified event occurs, such as the sale of the product to a customer of the dealer or until a specified period expires; (b) the entity is able to require the return of the product or transfer the product to a third party (such as another dealer); and (c) the dealer does not have an unconditional obligation to pay for the product (although it might be required to pay a deposit).

B84 If an entity can objectively determine that control of a good or service has been transferred to the customer in accordance with the agreed-upon specifications in the contract, then customer acceptance is a formality that would not affect the entity s determination of when the customer has obtained control of the good or service. For example, if the customer acceptance clause is based on meeting specified size and weight characteristics, an entity would be able to determine whether those criteria have been met before receiving confirmation of the customer s acceptance. The entity s experience with contracts for similar goods or services may provide evidence that a good or service provided to the customer is in accordance with the agreed-upon specifications in the contract. If revenue is recognised before customer acceptance, the entity still must consider whether there are any remaining performance obligations (for example, installation of equipment) and evaluate whether to account for them separately.

Appendix C Service Concession Arrangements This appendix is an integral part of the Standard. Background 1 Infrastructure for public services-such as roads, bridges, tunnels, prisons, hospitals, airports, water distribution facilities, energy supply and telecommunication networks- has traditionally been constructed, operated and maintained by the public sector and financed through public budget appropriation. 2 In recent times, governments have introduced contractual service arr .....

Paragraphs AG1 AG8 of the Application Guidance of this Appendix provide guidance on determining whether, and to what extent, public-to-private service concession arrangements are within the scope of this Appendix. 7 This Appendix applies to both: (a) infrastructure that the operator constructs or acquires from a third party for the purpose of the service arrangement; and (b) existing infrastructure to which the grantor gives the operator access for the purpose of the service arrangement. 8 This Appendix does not specify the accounting for infrastructure that was held and recognised as property, plant and equipment by the o .....

The consideration may be rights to: (a) a financial asset, or (b) an intangible asset. 16 The operator shall recognise a financial asset to the extent that it has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of the grantor for the construction services; the grantor has little, if any, discretion to avoid payment, usually because the agreement is enforceable by law. The operator has an unconditional right to receive cash if the grantor contractually guarantees to pay the operator (a) specified or determinable amounts or (b) the shortfall, if any, between amounts received from users of the public service and specified or determinable amounts, even if payment is contingent on the operator ensuring that the infrastructure meets specified quality or efficiency requirements. 17 The operator shall recognise an intangible asset to the extent that it receives a right (a licence) to charge users of the public service. A right to charge users of the pub .....

Intangible asset 26 Ind AS 38 applies to the intangible asset recognised in accordance with paragraphs 17 and 18 of this Appendix. Paragraphs 45 47 of Ind AS 38 provide guidance on measuring intangible assets acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset or assets or a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets. Items provided to the operator by the grantor 27 In accordance with paragraph 11 of this Appendix, infrastructure items to which the operator is given access by the grantor for the purposes of the service arrangement are not recognised as property, plant and equipment of the operator. The grantor may also provide other items to the operator that the operator can keep or deal wit .....

AG5 Control should be distinguished from management. If the grantor retains both the degree of control described in paragraph 5(a) of Appendix C and any significant residual interest in the infrastructure, the operator is only managing the infrastructure on the grantor s behalf-even though, in many cases, it may have wide managerial discretion. AG6 Conditions (a) and (b) together identify when the infrastructure, including any replacements required (see paragraph 21 of Appendix C), is controlled by the grantor for the whole of its economic life. For example, if the operator has to replace part of an item of infrastructure during the period of the arrangement (eg the top layer of a road or the roof of a building), the item of infrastructure shall be considered as a whole. Thus condition (b) is met for the whole of the infrastructure, including the part that is replaced, if the grantor controls any significant residual interest in the final replacement of that part. AG7 Sometimes the use o .....

However, a service concession arrangement may involve executory contracts that are not addressed in Indian Accounting Standards, unless the contracts are onerous, in which case Ind AS 37 applies .....

The purpose of this appendix is only to bring out the major differences, if any, between Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 115 and the corresponding International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements and SIC 29 Service Concession Arrangements: Disclosures, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Comparison with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, IFRIC 12 and SIC 29 1. Different terminology is used in Ind AS 115 eg the term balance sheet is used instead of statement of financial position and statement of profit and loss is used instead of statement of comprehensive income . 2. The transitional provisions given in IFRS 15 have not been given in Ind AS 115, since all transitional provisions related to Ind ASs, wherever considered appropriate, have been included in Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards corresponding to IFRS 1, Firsttime Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. 3.
