Summary

A language called XBRL is used all over the world for business reporting to electronically communicate financial and business data. eXtensible Business Reporting Language is referred to as XBRL. Benefits of the XBRL filing include improved analysis, preparation, and communication of company information.

Using the MCA site, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) introduced the filing of financial statements in XBRL with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). According to the 2011 Companies (Filing of documents and forms in Extensible Business Reporting Language) Rules, certain classes of companies are required to submit their balance sheets and profit and loss statements to the ROC using the XBRL taxonomy.

Following this, the Companies (Filing of documents and forms in Extensible Business Reporting Language) Rules, 2017 mandated that certain classes of companies file their financial statements and other documents with the ROC in eform AOC-4 XBRL in accordance with Section 137 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act").

  • Every company with a paid-up capital of or more than Rs.5 crore 
  • Every company that is required to prepare its financial statements as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
Even if they no longer fall under the categories of companies listed above, the companies that have previously filed their financial statements with the ROC in XBRL in accordance with Section 137 of the Act are required to continue filing their financial statements, AOC-4s, and other documents exclusively in XBRL.

The following company documents have to be attached with the eform AOC-4 XBRL:
