Dear kasturi,
Section 211(3A) of the companies act 1956 states that "Every profit and loss account and balance sheet of the company shall comply with the accounting standards."
Further, section 211(3B) gives a little exemption thtat "Where the profit and loss account and the balance sheet of the company do not comply with the accounting standards, such companies shall disclose in its profit and loss account and balance sheet, the following, namely :-
(a) the deviation from the accounting standards;
(b) the reasons for such deviation; and
(c) the financial effect, if any, arising due to such deviation.
Section 211(8) imposes a penalty of "imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months or with fine which may extend to ten thousand rupees, or with both" for non compliance of provisions of section 211.
The offence is compoundable u/s 621A
