About the Ind AS Impact Analysis Report: 

The report is a follow up to the PwC Ind AS Impact Analysis report released in September 2016, to understand the impact of Ind AS transition on the reported results for the year ended 31 March 2016 under Ind AS vis-à-vis previously reported Indian GAAP results. For the purposes of this report, we have evaluated financial information for the year ended 31 March 2016 released by 76 companies until 31 May 2017. We have used a benchmark that is consistent with that used for the evaluation of companies in our previous report—i.e. companies which are listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India and included in NIFTY 50 and NIFTY NEXT 50 benchmark indices. In our analysis of NIFTY 50 and NIFTY NEXT 50 companies, we have excluded 18 companies that are either banks or non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) or insurance companies to whom Ind AS is not yet applicable and 6 companies that did not file their results for the year ended 31 March 2016 under Ind AS.

Since our report is based on published annual financial results which do not have detailed disclosures otherwise presented in annual financial statements, we may have made certain assumptions and generalisations for the purpose of aggregating the results and analysis.
