Major differences between AS 19 and Ind AS 17

Major differences between AS 19 and Ind AS 17 related to leases are:

Leases for Land and building

There is no specific guidance on separation of leases of land and buildings. Presently, leasehold land is
recorded and classified as fixed assets.

Land and buildings elements are classified and accounted for separately (Operating or Finance) as per
definition and classification criteria unless the land element is not material.

Lease Incentives

There is no specific guidance on lease incentives (such as rent-free period) under existing AS.

Under Ind AS, lease incentives (such as rent-free period) are recognised by both the lessor and the lessee as
a reduction in rental income and expense, respectively, over the lease term.

Curve out from IFRS in Ind AS

Ind AS 17 contains a curve out for escalation of operating lease rentals that are in line with the expected
general inflation. Hence, there should not be straight lined by the lessor as well as by the lessee.

Whether an arrangement contains a lease

Under AS 17, there is no specific guidance on whether an arrangement contains a lease. Payments under
arrangements which are not in the form of leases are generally recognised in accordance with the nature of
expense incurred.

Arrangements that do not take the legal form of a lease but fulfillment of which is dependent on the use of
specific assets and which convey the right to use the assets may have to be accounted for as leases. Blog Archive
