eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is a global digital standard for financial data communication that standardizes, automates, and simplifies company financial statement reporting. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) mandates certain companies to file financial statements electronically via e-Form AOC-4 XBRL using MCA-prescribed XBRL taxonomy with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for better accuracy, transparency, and efficiency.
Per Companies (Filing Of Documents And Forms In XBRL) Rules 2011 & 2017:
Exemptions: NBFCs, housing finance, insurance, and banking companies. Once started, XBRL filing continues even if criteria are no longer met.
These documents ensure complete, certified, and legally compliant financial information submission.
Since 2012, companies under Cost (Accounting Records) Rules, 2011 or specific cost audit orders must file cost audit reports in XBRL format. The company prepares the XBRL instance document, which the cost auditor reviews, certifies accuracy, and files electronically with government signature.
XBRL Taxonomy defines reporting elements and their relationships. Companies must accurately map financial data to taxonomy elements to create valid XBRL instance documents for regulatory compliance.
XBRL enhances corporate reporting quality and efficiency through automation and data standardization.
