XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a language for the electronic communication of business and financial data that has revolutionized business reporting around the world. Its major benefits include ease in preparation, analysis and communication of business information by the corporates. It offers cost savings, greater efficiency, improved accuracy as well as reliability to all those involved in supplying or using financial data. With increased coverage, it is hoped that the XBRL data thus collected would significantly enhance the Ministry’s capabilities in policy formulation and regulatory functions for advantage of corporates as well as public and investors at large.
If there is no dispute as to the company’s liability, it is difficult to hold that the company should be able to pay its debts merely by proving that it is able to pay the debts. If the debt is an undisputedly owing, then it should be paid. If the company refuses to pay, without good reason, it should not be able to avoid the statutory demand by proving at the statutory demand stage, that it is solvent. In other words, commercial solvency can be seen as relevant as to whether there was a dispute as to the debt, not as a ground in itself, that means it cannot be characterised as a stand alone ground

As decided in the case of Incable Net (Andhra) Ltd. (supra), such breach could give rise to an action of breach of contract under Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act, 1972.
