Persons are required to maintain books and prepare financial statements as per accounting policies applicable to them. Companies are required to maintain books of account and prepare financial statements as per requirements of Companies Act 2013.
The journey of ICDS has been an interesting roller coaster ride – first introduced, then deferred, then partly struck down by Delhi High Court and now with a re-birth under the Act, that too with retrospective effect from AY 2017-18.
In the year 2012, the then Government had introduced retrospective amendments to the Indian Income- tax Act in order to nullify the decision rendered by the Apex Court in the case of Vodafone International Holdings B.V. vs Union of India with regard to taxation of indirect transfer of shares.

In order to bring clarity and uniformity in computation of income from real estate transactions, CBDT introduced draft ICDS on Real Estate Transactions in May 2017 which is largely driven by ICAI’s Guidance Note on real estate transactions.
The power under Section 145 (2) of the Act cannot permit changing the basic principles of accounting that have been recognized in various provisions of the Act unless of course corresponding amendments are carried out to the Act itself.
