New Draft of Twelve Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) has been Uploaded on the Finance Ministry and Income-Tax Department Website for Seeking Comments from Stakeholders and General Public by 8th February, 2015.
Sub- section (1) of Section 145 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’) provides that the income chargeable under the head “Profits and gain of business or profession” or “Income from other sources” shall [subject to the provisions of sub-section (2)] be computed in accordance with either cash or mercantile system of accounting regularly employed by the assessee. Sub-section (2) of Section 145 provides that the Central Government may notify Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) for any class of asssessees or for any class of income.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had constituted a Committee comprising departmental officers and professionals in December, 2010 to inter alia suggest standards for the purposes of notification under Section 145(2) of the Act. The Committee submitted its first Interim Report in August 2011.

On the basis of the suggestions received from the stakeholders and examination of the same by the CBDT, the draft standards submitted by the Committee have been revised.
