1.1 INTRODUCTION
As per Section 29 of the Companies Act, 1956, a branch can be described as any establishment
carrying on either the same or substantially the same activity as that carried on by head office of the
company. It must also be noted that the concept of a branch means existence of a head office for there can
be no branch without a head office – the principal place of business. From the accounting point of view,
branches may be classified as follows:
Classification of Branches
on various currencies. The accounting principles which apply to inland branches also apply to a foreign
branch after converting the trial balance of the foreign branch in the Indian currency.
Controversies may arise in deciding the foreign branches of the enterprises into integral or non-
integral. However, there may not be any controversy that subsidiary associates and joint ventures are non-
integral foreign operation.
In case of branches classified as independent for the purpose of accounting are generally classified as
non-integral foreign operations.
1 Monetary items are money held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid in fixed or determinable amounts of
money. Cash, receivables and payables are examples of monetary items.
2 Non-monetary items are assets and liabilities other than monetary items. Fixed assets, investments in equity shares,
inventories are examples of non-monetary assets.
