  1. New Schedule VI(In the Offing) By: CA Kamal Garg

  2. Introduction • Government of India had constituted an Expert Committee on Company Law in 2005; • The Committee in its report admitted the right of shareholders to be informed through simple disclosure which should not be in excessively technical format; • The Committee was also of the view that Small Companies need not be subject to the costs of a regime suited to large companies with a wide stakeholder base

  3. ICAI’s Role • Ministry of Corporate Affairs had requested the ICAI to review Schedule VI in order to simplify the same; • The ICAI was also requested to prescribe a SARAL Schedule VI for small and medium sized companies; • To carry out the exercise, the Institute had constituted a Study Group: • To formulate the suggestions on Schedule VI; and • For prescribing SARAL Schedule VI for small and medium sized companies.

  4. Objectives • Simplification of presentation; • Evaluate existing format with respect to unwanted and outdated disclosures; • Harmonize and converge with global disclosure requirements; • To minimize disclosure requirements for Small and Micro Companies

  5. Updates Now • The study group recommended the drafts of “Simplified Schedule VI” and “SARAL Schedule VI” considering IFRS and Other reporting practices; • The Corporate Laws Committee of the Institute considered the drafts of both the Schedules and finalized the same; • The drafts are being sent to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and other Specified Bodies for comments
