A parent that is an investment entity shall not present consolidated financial statements if it is required, in accordance with paragraph 31 of this Ind AS, to measure all of its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss.
6. Definitions
A. Control
An investor, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), shall determine whether it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee.
An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Thus, an investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following: (a) power over the investee; (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
Companies registered under the Companies Act, the entities are basis for consolidation i.e, either it should be subsidiary.
B. Consolidated financial statements
The financial statements of a group in which the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent and its subsidiaries are presented as those of a single economic entity.
C. Parent
An entity that controls one or more entities.
D. Subsidiary
An entity that is controlled by another entity.
E. Non-controlling interest.
Equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.
Here, Equity means Equity share Capital, Preference Share capital, Preference dividend, pre-acquisition profit, post- acquisition profit and share in the increase in value of fixed assets
7. Accounting Requirements.
I. A parent shall prepare consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances
Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of the investee and cease when the investor loses control of the investee.
Non-controlling interests.
A parent shall present non-controlling interests in the consolidated Balance sheet within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.
Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are equity transactions (ie transactions with owners in their capacity as owners).
II. Summary of Consolidation of procedures.
Following financial statement is to be prepared
A. Consolidated Financial statements of Group
The financial statements of a parent and its subsidiaries are combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Then the following steps are taken:

b. Recognizing and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase (As per Ind AS 103).

(iii) In a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition‑date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree.
(b) The net of the acquisition‑date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed measured in accordance with this Ind AS.
