The Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) adopted the Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) for the first time with the beginning of the accounting year 2018. Where, NBFCs are required to adopt Ind AS implementation road map issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on 30 March 2016 in a phased manner from accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018.

The implementation of these financial instrument standards is expected to affect almost all line-items in the financial statements of the NBFCs.
