Common questions

FAQs.

What's the threshold for related-party transaction disclosure?
Under Ind AS 24 / AS 18, all related-party transactions must be disclosed — there is no quantitative threshold. Under Section 188 of the Companies Act 2013, certain transactions above prescribed limits (10% of turnover or ₹100 crore for material RPT) need shareholder approval by special resolution.
How does CARO 2020 treat related-party transactions?
CARO clause (xiii) requires the auditor to report whether all transactions with related parties comply with Section 177 (Audit Committee approval) and Section 188 (board/shareholder approval) and whether they are disclosed in the financial statements as per applicable accounting standards.
