ABOUT GSTIndAS
This country in which we live has given many brilliant minds for which we
don't even need to give any introduction.
We all know that in today's era, everything is linked with money &
education industry is no more an exception.
Coaching institutes, training institutes etc. are not only spoon feeding
monotonic knowledge but also forcing a rigid way of thinking which retards
development creating the atmosphere of fear WHICH NEEDS A CHANGE.
Here comes the role of our ancient scholars 'the Eklavya' who set a great
example of self-learning, overcoming every difficulty coming on his way of
learning with a desire of becoming an expert in archery, and he did it.
That is what we want to do with this GSTIndAS; a new start to the
beginning that was made by our ancient tutors, start reading the content
and the knowledge is all yours.
We call this concept as Self Learning and this booklet is a part of that
motive.
Thank you,
Regards

unbundle those components.
• Unbundling is required when:

all obligations & rights arising from deposit component.

• As per Para 16, we compare our liability against all future cash flows
estimates, & deficiency , if any, is recognised in P&L.

if the change makes the financial statement more relevant to the economic
decision making needs of the users.

carrying amt. & recognise the impairment loss in P&L.

under the terms of the contract.
B) The event has a significant impact on the amounts that cedant will
receive from the reinsurer.

Self-Learning, Mastery, and Self-Mastery
“We don’t believe in colleges and universities. We believe in libraries
because most students don’t have any money. When I graduated from high
school, it was during the depression and we had no money. I couldn’t go
to college, so I went to library 3 days a week for 10 years.”
- Ray Bradbury
Now-a-days people are fond of taking selfies, and one can easily relate this with
self-learning. Self-teaching can be done anywhere at any time! It is unlimited
but not unstructured.
These days, if you want to learn something, get a teacher. But you have to pay
a cost and these costs are expensive. To be self-learning is just great!!!
What is Self-learning? Learning by applying their own mind and solving
the problems by using the accessible recourses. A self-learner can easily
understand the motive. At times it can be a monotonous task but one must
keep himself motivated and content so that he will enjoy the self-learning
process and at the end it will be a lucrative deal.
If you have the desire and really want to develop the habit of learning take
initiative from Today itself and make yourself comfortable with the concepts.
Self-learners are self-motivated because they have the confidence that if they
don’t know an answer to a question, they know how to use the resources
available to find out the answer.

Quintessence to be A Self Learner-
Ekalavya, a character in the Hindu Mythology ‘Mahabharata’, was in such a
situation and did what no one else would have done. He too wanted to learn
archery from Guru Drona, so he approached and requested him to teach
archery.
But Drona refused to teach him saying that he only teaches royal princes or
people of such cadre. Ekalavya’s heart was broken, but his will was not.
So, he made a statue of Drona in clay and started practicing archery by
himself. With time, enormous efforts and determination he became a master of
archery, learning and practicing the skill by himself. Once, when he was
practicing in the forest, Dronacharya and his shishyas had come to a forest
visit. They brought a dog along with them and it was continuously barking –
thereby disturbing Ekalavya’s practice.
Without seeing the dog (and just by listening to its barking sound), Ekalavya
was able to hit seven arrows in its mouth in a manner that the dog was not
hurt but just stopped barking. When Drona and his pupils saw the dog, they
were astonished at the skill of the archer and wanted to meet the person, who
could fire his arrows so accurately.
But Arjuna, who was the favorite disciple of Drona was upset at this and asked
Drona as to how he could become the best archer in the world when there was
this person who could do something that he couldn’t. So, Drona, says that
since Ekalavya considered Drona to be his Guru, he should offer a Guru
Dakshina.
Ekalavya is happy that at last he has been recognized by his Guru as a disciple
and feelshonored by this request of Guru Dakshina. Drona asks for Ekalavya’s
right hand thumb – which he gives immediately without bothering much about
the consequences, which includes that fact that Ekalavya might never be able
to practice his archery again!

©GSTIndAS Page 29
So, what do I infer from this? – Self learning is the best way to learn!
The best way to become the best was not to drag others down, but to rise
himself to reach (or better) their heights.
Initiative taken by like Minded people (Self learners)
Likewise we people also formed a mutual group and named it as GSTIndAS.
Well it is too much formal but our agenda is also to learn about GST &IND-AS
perpetually and also sharing knowledge with members of the group rather than
keeping it back.
This will dwindle the ambiguity for the topic in our mind. At times we are in a
situation where we are not able to conclude the topic, as a self-learner this
situation is very generic. That time we can ask for some clarification and
instances from our co-member of the group & everything will be in streamline
too.
There is a saying in our mother tongue – “Ek or Ek 11”.
We can prove this saying right and fruitful as we all are having an individual
identity and when we are in group no one can beat us. It will be very lucrative
for all of us to share our knowledge and thoughts among all.
People who were not able to attend the meets can also be a part of it by reading
the minutes and getting all the knowledgeable stuffs for future references. We
share a bond by being a self learner with each other. Come what may we will
get into the roots of GST &IND-AS and will hit the nail.
Eventually, the bottom line is we are united and we are self learner. Self-
learning gives the opportunity to develop a good work ethic.

Celebrate the Change
“CHANGE IS HARD AT FIRST, MESSY IN THE MIDDLE AND
GORGEOUS AT END”- ROBIN SHARMA
Although most of the nation claims to be globalized themselves, but the real
essence of the globalization lies in the uniformity among the markets.
Companies across the nations might be operating in multiple nations but to do
so they have to significantly alter modus operandi as to fit the need of specific
nation. The framework of reporting the financial reports of any organization is
not untouched by the scale of deviation that prevails while switching from
nation to nation. Scale of such deviation fabricates the main spirit of
globalization which is unification of various economies into one economy.
Further Globalization in context of Direct Tax Regime is light years away;
rather India has yet not achieved Unification of tax regime within local
boundaries itself. At current juncture India seems to have a revolutionary
wave, where regulators are striving hard to adopt Indian Economy In line to
global Economy, as to ease International Investments and to realize the
essence of Globalization. As a part of this revolution Currently India is all set to
welcome two of the crucial reforms. While IndAS will go a long way for pushing
Indian Financial reporting framework in line to global standards, and GST will
play its game to unify the taxation regime within local boundaries. Regulators
are simultaneously implementing both of these reforms to carve global edge for
Indian Corporates. Advantages of both the reforms have been briefed below.
What Is GST?
The GST is basically an indirect tax that brings most of the taxes imposed on
most goods and services, on manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and
services, under a single domain at the national level. In the present system,

©GSTIndAS Page 31
taxes are levied separately on goods and services. The GST is a consolidated
tax based on a uniform rate of tax fixed for both goods and services and it is
payable at the final point of consumption. At each stage of sale or purchase in
the supply chain, this tax is collected on value-added goods and services,
through a tax credit mechanism.
Cause to Celebrate:
This model is a single Tax model and Tax on Tax will be removed. Many
Indirect Taxes will be merged as Single Tax.
After the implication of Goods and Service Tax act India will be a one market.
All the products and services will be provided at same price in all the states. As
the rate of tax will be the same in all over India. This is the biggest advantages
of GST bill in India.
After this the tax is not applicable on manufacturing hand. So for
manufacturers it is easy to grow their business and develop it. Now Excise and
some other taxes are applicable at the manufacturing Point. After this these
will applicable at consumption point.
This system will affect the evasion and theft of Tax will be minimized as it is
easy to track. This may be the demerit of GST for Tax Evaders.
All the Products where multiple taxes where applicable will be cheaper like
excise duty and vat both will come to about 30% of Tax but in GST it is
assumed to be 18-20%.
Above were the advantages of GST bill and now I will show you some
Disadvantages of GST bill in India. This are the losses which will affect you
only in short term and may not be painful for you in the long run if the system
will work properly.
In the GST system, taxes for both Centre and State will be collected at the
point of sale. Both will be charged on the manufacturing cost. Individuals will
be benefited by this as prices are likely to come down and lower prices mean
more consumption, and more consumption means more production, thereby
helping in the growth of the companies.

What is IndAS
Ind-AS is the abbreviation used for the “Indian Accounting Standards”. The
Ind-AS are named and numbered in the same wayas named and numbered in
the “corresponding International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)”. As the
base note of the Ind-AS is the IFRS itself, it takes Indian Financial reporting
framework from GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) oriented to
globally recognized IFRS oriented, in a shot. Ind-AS are the converged AS.
Although the Ind-AS are not wholly the same as the IFRS. But grossly Ind-AS
almost represents the IFRS. And the differences are sidelines as “carve in’s” or
“carve outs”.
Cause to Celebrate
Introduction of Ind-AS will bring variety of causes for stakeholders at various
levels to make them assure about the reliability of Ind-AS. Some of its
Advantages may include transparency for investors and easy fund raising for
the companies. Few other Advantages are briefed below.
•Comparability
The convergence to IFRS has improved the comparability of financial
statements in the Economies. This has been achieved through having the same
reporting standard under a globalized market.
•Better access to foreign capital markets and investments
•The new IFRS based Ind-AS reflects on economic substance more than legal
form. This helps the companies and other stakeholders to have true and fair
view of the companies’ transactions.
•Improved consistency and transparency of financial reporting.As all
companies, preparing their consolidated financial statements, have been
reporting undergone reporting standard have improved the comparability not
only for investors, but also all stakeholders who use the financial statements.

©GSTIndAS Page 33
Give above are the fraction of benefits that give a reason to celebrate to all the
users of financial statements and more transparent reporting id the key
outcome of the adoption of the IndAS.
I started this article with a quote and that quote perfectly fits in here. As
Implementation of both the IndAS and GST could be hard and messy in the
beginning, but this short term disturbance would be worthy enough as it will
be fetching gorgeous return for a very long run of time. Hardship will be in the
face of Implementation and understanding the new framework, training of
people responsible for it, altering of system to fit the new framework, etc. While
IndAS will be increasing transparency at corporate level and GST will be
unifying the Indirect Taxation regime throughout the Country; Ultimately Both
of the Frameworks will be having a lot of causes for the stakeholders at the
macro and micro level to celebrate the change. Moreover currently prevailing
GAAP and Indirect Tax Framework are now dated which stands nowhere near
the Global Standards. If not late then it is the perfect time for the overhauling
of both the frameworks.
