A company is required to file XBRL form in succeeding Years even if not falling under the prescribed Criteria of a class of companies. That means that such company has to incur expenses for purchasing software of XBRL. Don’t you think XBRL is more cumbersome from the point of view of such company? Please consider making suitable representation to MCA through ICSI Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs to countermand the requirement of XBRL filing for such companies.
