The 388-page notification has defined small and medium companies as unlisted entities which are not banks, financial institutions or insurance firms and have a turnover of up to Rs 250 crore and borrowings up to Rs 50 crore in the immediately preceding accounting year. The threshold has been Rs 50 crore and Rs 10 crore for turnover and borrowings under the general accounting standards.

“SMC which is a holding company or subsidiary company of a non-SMC will not qualify as a small and medium company.”The notification also says that an existing company which was not a small and medium company previously but became so subsequently would not be able to avail of any exemptions in accounting standards. It can avail of these exemptions if it continues as a small and medium company for two consecutive accounting periods.
