Ind AS Carve-Outs Explained | Why India Changed IFRS for Bearer Plants? | Why Tea Gardens Are PPE ?

These changes are called “Carve-Outs.” While adopting IFRS into Ind AS, India accepted most global accounting principles — but in a few important areas, we made modifications based on practical and economic realities. One famous example is Bearer Plants Under IFRS: Tea gardens, rubber plantations, orange orchards etc. are treated as Biological Assets and measured at Fair Value every year under IAS 41. But India said: ❌ No, bearer plants are not like tradable biological assets. ✅ They are more like productive fixed assets generating output year after year. So under Ind AS: Bearer Plants are treated as Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE) under Ind AS 16, not under Biological Assets. That means: ✔ Cost Model / Revaluation Model applies ✔ Not compulsory Fair Value accounting every year This is one of the most interesting examples of an Ind AS Carve-Out from IFRS.
