    please consider if a representation should be made to MCA stating that when according to MCA if the Company is categorised as a small company, XBRL format should not be made mandatory for filing AOC – 4 etc.

    1. Deepak Chauhan says:

      Thanks for reading and sharing your comment.

      As of now, XBRL filing is not applicable to small companies.

      You may refer to the definition of Small companies as per Section 2(85) of the Companies Act 2013 read with companies required to file the financials in XBRL mode.

      you may contact me for any other queries.
