Ind As 116 Leases Cma
Ind As 116 Leases Cma
SCOPE: Ind AS 116 shall be applied to ALL LEASES, including leases of Right-of-Use (ROU) assets in a sub-lease,
except:
(a) Leases to explore for or use minerals,oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources. (Ind AS 106).
(b) Leases of biological assets held by a lessee (Ind AS 41).
(c) Licences of intellectual property granted by a lessor (Ind AS 115).
(d) Rights held by a lessee under licensing agreements for such items as motion picture films, video recordings,
plays, manuscripts, patents and copyrights (Ind AS 38).
RECOGNITION EXEMPTION:- In addition to above scope exclusions, a lessee can elect not to apply Ind AS 116’s
recognition requirements to:
1. Short-term leases (Lease term of 12 months or less); and
2. Leases for which the underlying asset is of low-value.
If a lessee elects to apply the above recognition exemption, the lessee shall recognise the lease payments associated with
those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis.
What is lease : A lease is defined as a contract, or part of contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset
for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Note 1. Meaning of right to control :- To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time, an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has both of the following:
(a) The right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and
(b) The right to direct the use of the identified asset.
Note 2:- Ind AS 16 requires lessor and lessee to determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the
contract and accounting in the book of lessor and lessee is made on the commencement date of the lease agreement.
Here, A ‘lessee’ is defined as an entity that obtains the right to use an underlying asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
Note 3. Commencement date is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee.
If one or both of these criteria are not met then, the right to use multiple assets is considered a ‘single’ lease
component, i.e., not a ‘separate’ lease component.
Meaning of lease payments: Lease payments are defined as payments made by a lessee to a lessor relating to the
right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, comprising the following:
(a) Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives,
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
(c) The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option,
(d) Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to
terminate the lease
For the lessee, lease payments also include amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
For the lessors, lease payment includes residual value guarantees provided by the lessee,a party related to the lessee or
a third party unrelated to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging the obligations under the guarantee.
Note 1: ‘Fixed payments’ are defined as payments made by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an
underlying asset during the lease term, excluding variable lease payments.
Note 2: In substance fixed lease payment:- lease payments also include any in-substance fixed lease payments which
are the payments that may, in form, contain variability but that, in substance, are unavoidable.
Question 1. Entity Q enters into a seven-year lease for a piece of machinery. The contract sets out the lease
payments as follows.
– If Q uses the machinery within a given month, then an amount of 2,000 accrues for that month.
– If Q does not use the machinery within a given month, then an amount of 1,000 accrues for that month.
What is considered as fixed lease payment in this case?
Solution: Q considers the contract and notes that although the lease payments contain variability based on usage, and
there is a realistic possibility that Q may not use the machinery in some months, a monthly payment of R s 1,000 is
unavoidable. Accordingly, this is an in-substance fixed payment, and is included in the measurement of the lease
liability.
Note 3. Variable lease payments that depends on an index or rate:- ‘Variable lease payments’ are defined as the
portion of payments made by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term that
varies because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage
of time.
These may include, for e.g., payments linked to a consumer price index, payments linked to a benchmark interest rate
(such as R e p o r a t e , London Interbank offered rate i.e. LIBOR or payments that vary to reflect changes in market rental
rates. Such payments are included in the lease payments and are measured using the prevailing index or rate at the
measurement date (i.e. lease commencement date for initial measurement).
Question 2. An entity enters into a 10-year lease of property. The lease payment for the first year is Rs
1,000. The lease payments are linked to the consumer price index (CPI).The CPI at the beginning of the first year
is 100. Lease payments are updated at the end of every second year. At the end of year one, the CPI is 105. At the
end of year two, the CPI is 108. What should be included in lease payments?
Solution: At the lease commencement date, the lease payments are Rs 1,000 per year for 10 years. The entity does
not take into consideration the potential future changes in the index. At the end of year one, the payments have
not changed and hence, the liability is not updated.
At the end of year two, when the lease payments change, the entity updates the remaining eight lease payments to Rs
1,080 per year (i.e., 1,000 / 100 x 108).
Solution: At the commencement date, Entity A s h o u l d measure the lease liability as the present value of the
fixed lease payments (i.e. five annual payments of 5,00,000). Entity A should exclude the non-lease component from
its lease liability because they are variable payments that depend on usage. Entity A should recognise the payments
for water – as a variable lease payment – in profit or loss when they are incurred.
Residual value guarantees: ‘Residual value guarantee’ is defined as a guarantee made to a lessor by a party
unrelated to the lessor that the value (or part of the value) of an underlying asset at the end of a lease will be at
least a specified amount.
Residual value guarantee for a lessee:- Lease payments include amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under
residual value guarantees. A lessee may provide a guarantee to the lessor that the value of the underlying asset it
returns to the lessor at the end of the lease will be at least of a specified amount. Such guarantees are
enforceable obligations that the lessee has assumed by entering into the lease agreement.
Note:- A lessee is required to remeasure the lease liability if there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable
under a residual value guarantee.
Question 4. An entity (a lessee) enters into a lease and guarantees that the lessor will realise Rs 20,000 from selling the
asset to another party at the end of the lease. At lease commencement, based on the lessee’s estimate of the residual value
of the underlying asset, the lessee determines that it expects that it will owe Rs 8,000 at the end of the lease. Whether
the lessee should include the said payment of Rs 8,000 as a lease payment?
Solution: The lessee should include the amount of Rs 8,000 as a lease payment because it is expected that it will owe
the same to the lessor under the residual value guarantee.
Residual value guarantee for a lessor: Ind AS 116 requires lessors to include in the lease payments, any residual value
guarantees provided to the lessor by the lessee, a party related to the lessee, or a third party unrelated to the lessor
that is financially` capable of discharging the obligations under the guarantee. This amount included in the lease payments
is different from that for a lessee which only includes the amount expected to be payable by lessee only.
Discount rates : Discount rates are used to determine the present value of the lease payments, which are used to
determine Right of Use asset and Lease liability in case of a lessee and to measure a lessor’s net investment in the lease.
Discount rate for a lessor: Lessor to use the interest rate implicit in the lease only.
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to recognise a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to
use the underlying asset (i.e., the ROU Asset) during the lease term for ALL leases (except for short-term leases and
leases of low-value assets, if they choose to apply such exemptions).
Measurement of lease liability: At the commencement date, a lessee initially measures the Lease Liability
at the present value of the remaining lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted using the rate
implicit in the lease (or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate). Lease
payments used in measuring the lease liability are amounts due to the lessor excluding any payments that a lessee
makes before lease commencement.
Question 5. Entity L enters into a lease for 10 years, with a single lease payment payable at the beginning of
each year. The initial lease payment is Rs 100,000. Lease payments will increase by the rate of LIBOR each year.
At the date of commencement of the lease, LIBOR is 2 per cent.
Assume that the interest rate implicit in the lease is 5 per cent. How lease liability is initially measured?
Solution: In the given case, the lease payments depend on a rate (i.e., LIBOR) and hence is included in measuring
lease liability. As per Ind AS 116, the lease payments should initially be measured using the rate (i.e. LlBOR) as at
the commencement date. LIBOR at that date is 2 per cent; therefore, in measuring the lease liability, it is assumed
that each year the payments will increase by 2 per cent, as follows:
Year Lease Discount factor @ 5% PV of lease payments
Payment
1 1,00,000 1 100,000
2 1,02,000 0.952 97,102
3 1,04,040 0.907 94,364
4 1,06,121 0.864 91,689
5 1,08,243 0.823 89,084
6 1,10,408 0.784 86,560
7 1,12,616 0.746 84,012
8 1,14,869 0.711 81,672
9 1,17,166 0.677 79,321
10 1,19,509 0.645 77,083
8,80,887
A lessee initially measures the ROU Asset at COST, which consists of all of the following:
To lessor/bank account (any lease payment paid/payable less cash incentive received)
To bank/ account ( initial direct cost incurred, any prepaid lease payment)
Treatment and meaning of Initial direct cost: ‘Initial direct costs’ are defined as the incremental costs of
obtaining a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, except for such costs
incurred by a manufacturer or dealer lessor in connection with a finance lease.
For lessee :- Ind AS 116 requires lessees to include their initial direct costs in their initial measurement of the right-of-
use asset. Examples of costs included in initial direct costs are.
Commission t o selling agents
Lease document preparation costs incurred after the execution of the lease
For lessors, initial direct costs, other than those incurred by manufacturer or dealer lessors, are included in the initial
measurement of the net investment in the lease and reduce the amount of income recognised over the lease term.
Question 6. Entity Y and Entity Z execute a 12-year lease of a railcar with the following terms on
1 January, 2023:
Assumed a discount rate of 12% (which is Entity ABC’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate
implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined). Entity ABC depreciates the ROU Asset on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. How would Entity ABC would account for the said lease under Ind AS 116?
Question 8. COC Ltd enters into a property lease with Entity H. The initial term of the lease is 10 years with a 5- year
renewal option. The economic life of the property is 40 years and the fair value of the leased property is Rs 50 Lacs. COC
Ltd has an option to purchase the property at the end of the lease term for Rs 30 lacs. The first advance annual
payment is Rs 5 lacs with an increase of 3% every year thereafter. The implicit rate of interest is 9.04%. Entity H gives
COC Ltd an incentive of Rs 2 lacs (payable at the beginning of year 2), which is to be used for normal tenant
improvement.
COC Ltd is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. How would COC Ltd measure the right-of-use
asset and lease liability at the beginning of lease and also calculate depreciation to be charged each
year?
Impairment of ROU asset: Lessees’ ROU Assets are subject to existing impairment requirements in Ind AS 36
Impairment of Assets. Ind AS 36 requires an impairment indicator analysis at each reporting period. If any indicators
are present, the entity is required to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit
(CGU) of which the asset is a part). The entity has to recognise an impairment loss if the recoverable amount of the
CGU is less than the carrying amount of the CGU. After an impairment loss is recognised, the adjusted carrying
amount of the ROU Asset would be its new basis for depreciation.
Subsequent reversal of a previously recognised impairment loss needs to be assessed if there is any indication that
an impairment loss recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. In recognising any reversal,
the increased carrying amount of the asset must not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined
after depreciation, had there been no impairment.
Re-measurement of lease liability: Ind AS 16 requires lessee to remeasure lease liabilities upon a change
in payments on account of any of the following:
(i) the reassessment of lease term on account of reasonable certainty to exercise/ not exercise of extension
and/ or termination option.
(ii) the reassessment of whether the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to purchase the
underlying asset.
Lessees use a revised discount rate when lease payments are updated for
- reassessment of the lease term OR
- a reassessment of a purchase option.
Note:- The revised discount rate is for the REMAINDER of the lease term.
Question 9. Entity W entered into a contract for lease of retail store with Entity J on January 01/01/2021. The initial
term of the lease is 5 years with a renewal option of further 3 years. The annual payments for initial term and
renewal term is Rs 100,000 and Rs 110,000 respectively payable at the beginning of every year. The annual lease
payment will increase based on the annual increase in the CPI at the end of the preceding year.
Entity W’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease inception date and as at 01/01/2024 is 5% and 6% respectively
and the CPI at lease commencement date and as at 01/01/2024 is 120 and 125 respectively.
At the lease commencement date, Entity W did not have a significant economic incentive to exercise the renewal
option. On 1st January 2024, Entity W installed unique lease improvements into the retail store with an estimated
five-year economic life. Entity W determined that it would only recover the cost of the improvements if it exercises
the renewal option, creating a significant economic incentive to extend.
Is Entity W required to remeasure the lease on 1st January 2024? If yes calculate the revised value of ROU asset
and lease liability on the date of remeasurement and also pass journal entry for remeasurement.
Lease modification:
A ‘lease modification’ is a change in the scope of a lease, or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of
the original terms and conditions of the lease (for e.g., adding or terminating the right to use one or more
underlying assets, or extending or shortening the contractual lease term).
The following are examples of lease modifications that may be negotiated after the lease commencement date:
A lease extension
Early termination of the lease
A change in the timing of lease payments
Leasing additional space in the same building.
Surrendering a part of the underlying asset.
Lease modification can result in:
A separate lease OR
A change in the accounting for the existing lease (i.e., not a separate lease).
NOTE:- The exercise of an existing purchase or renewal option or a change in the assessment of whether such options are
reasonably certain to be exercised are not lease modifications but can result in the remeasurement of Lease Liabilities
and ROU Assets (Remeasurement – as discussed above).
Question 10. Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 2,000 square metres of office space. At the beginning of Year
6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease for the remaining five years to include an additional 3,000
square metres of office space in the same building. The additional space is made available for use by Lessee at the
end of the second quarter of Year 6. The increase in total consideration for the lease is commensurate with the
current market rate for the new 3,000 square metres of office space. How should the said modification be accounted
for?
Solution: Lessee accounts for the modification as a separate lease, separate from the original 10-year lease because the
modification grants Lessee an additional right to use an underlying asset, and the increase in consideration for the
lease is commensurate with the stand-alone price of the additional right-of-use asset
Accordingly, at the commencement date of the new lease (at the end of the second quarter of Year 6), Lessee
recognises a ROU Asset and a lease liability relating to the lease of the additional 3,000 square metres of office space.
Question 11.( Modification that increases the scope of the lease by extending the contractual lease term): Lessee
enters into a 10-year lease for 5,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease payments are Rs 1,00,000 payable
at the end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate at the commencement date is 6% p.a. At the beginning of Year 7, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend
the original lease by extending the contractual lease term by four years. The annual lease payments are unchanged
(i.e., Rs 1,00,000 payable at the end of each year from Year 7 to Year 14). Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the
beginning of Year 7 is 7% p.a.
Question 12 (Modification that decreases the scope of the lease) Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 5,000
square metres of office space. The annual lease payments are Rs 50,000 payable at the end of each year. The interest
rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement
date is 6% p.a. At the beginning of Year 6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease to reduce the space
to only 2,500 square metres of the original space starting from the end of the first quarter of Year 6. The annual
fixed lease payments (from Year 6 to Year 10) are Rs 30,000. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the beginning
of Year 6 is 5% p.a. How should the said modification be accounted for?
a B c = a x 6% d = a-b +c
1 3,67,950 50,000 22,077 3,40,027
2 3,40,027 50,000 20,402 3,10,429
3 3,10,429 50,000 18,626 2,79,055
4 2,79,055 50,000 16,743 2,45,798
5 2,45,798 50,000 14,748 2,10,546
6 2,10,546
At the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of Year 6), Lessee re-measures the lease liability based on:
(a) a five-year remaining lease term,
(b) annual payments of Rs 30,000 and
(c) Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 5% p.a.
Year Lease Payment(A) Present value Present value of lease
factor @ 5% (B) payments (A x B = C)
6 30,000 0.952 28,560
7 30,000 0.907 27,210
8 30,000 0.864 25,920
9 30,000 0.823 24,690
10 30,000 0.784 23,520
Total 1,29,900
Lessee will determine the proportionate decrease in the carrying amount of the ROU asset on the basis of the remaining
ROU Asset (i.e., 2,500 square metres corresponding to 50% of the original ROU Asset).
50% of the pre-modification ROU Asset ( Rs 1,83,975) is R s 91,987.50.
Lessee w i l l recognise the difference between the decrease in the lease liability and the decrease in the ROU Asset
(1,05,273 – 91,987.50 = 13,285.50) as a gain in profit or loss at the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of
Year 6).
Lessee will recognise the difference between the remaining lease liability of 1,05,273 and the modified lease liability of
1,29,900 (which equals 24,627) as an adjustment to the ROU Asset reflecting the change in the consideration paid for the
lease and the revised discount rate.
Presentation of items related to ROU asset and lease liability in financial statement:
Ind AS 116 lists a number of examples that individually, or in combination, would normally lead to a lease being classified
as a finance lease:
(a) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
(b) the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be
sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable;
(c) the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is not
transferred;
(d) at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all
of the fair value of the underlying asset; and
(e) the underlying asset is of such a specialised nature that only the lessee can use it without major
modifications.
Recognition of finance lease:- At the commencement date, a lessor shall recognise assets held under a finance
lease in its balance sheet and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
For finance leases (other than those involving manufacturer and dealer lessors), initial direct costs are included in the
initial measurement of the finance lease receivable.
(b) Operating lease:- an ‘Operating Lease’ is defined as a lease that does not transfer substantially all the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.
Accounting of operating lease in the book of lessor:
- lessor shall recognise lease income on SLM basis over the lease term.
- Lessor shall continue to recognise respective asset in his books of account and charge depreciation
on it.
- Journal entries at the year end in the book of lessor:-
(a) When given on lease: no entry
(b) At the year end:-
Debit Credit
Lease receivable account Dr Net investment
Loss on sale(SPL) Dr
To asset account Carrying amount
To gain on sale (SPL)
(iii) interest income (finance income) is booked over the lease term on lease receivable to unwind
the discount.
(i) Gross investment in lease = total lease payment by the lessee + unguaranteed residual value.
(ii) Net investment in lease = PV of Gross investment in lease (Using lessor’s implicit rate of return) less
deferred selling profit(as per ICMAI Study material only).
Note:- Deferred selling profit is calculated as the lease receivable less the carrying amount of the
underlying asset, net of unguaranteed residual.
(iii) unguaranteed residual value = total expected residual value by the lessor – GRV by the lessee.
(v) Interest income includes interest on the lease receivable, accretion of the unguaranteed residual
value and amortisation of deferred selling profit. The rate for recognising interest income to produce a
constant periodic rate of return on the remaining net investment is IRR.
Question 13. COC Ltd given his building on finance lease for the period of 3 years on annual lease
payment of Rs 1,00,000 at the end of one year. Guaranteed residual value by the lessee is Rs 20,000.
Expected unguaranteed residual value is Rs 30,000. Discounting rate is 10%. Carrying amount of building
in the book of COC Ltd is Rs 2,50,000. Pass journal entries for the first year of lease. Also calculate
Unearned finance income.
Solution: PV of lease receivable Rs 2,63,620; PV of UGRV Rs 22,530; Net investment Rs 2,86,150;
Finance income on lease receivable 1st year- Rs 28,615; 2nd year- Rs 21,477; 3rd year- Rs 13,758.

Note: balancing figure will be the gain/loss in lease.
Question 14. A Dealer-Lessor enters into a 10-year lease of equipment with Lessee. The equipment is not specialised in
nature and is expected to have alternative use to Lessor at the end of the 10-year lease term. Under the lease:
Lessor receives annual lease payments of Rs 15,000, payable at the end of the year.
Lessor expects the residual value of the equipment to be Rs 50,000 at the end of the 10-year lease term
Lessee provides a residual value guarantee that protects Lessor from the first Rs 30,000 of loss for a sale at a
price below the estimated residual value at the end of the lease term (i.e., Rs 50,000)
The equipment has an estimated remaining economic life of 15 years, a carrying amount of Rs 1,00,000 and a
fair value of Rs 1,11,000.
The lease does not transfer ownership of the underlying asset to Lessee at the end of the lease term or contain
an option to purchase the underlying asset
The interest rate implicit in the lease is 10.078%.
How should the Lessor account for the same in its books of accounts?
Answer :
Disclosure in the book of lessor: The objective of the disclosures is for lessors to disclose information in
the notes that, together with the information provided in the balance sheet, statement of profit or loss and
statement of cash flows, gives a basis forusers of financial statements to assess the effect that leases have on
the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the lessor.
A lessor shall disclose the following amounts for the reporting period:
(a) for finance leases: (i) selling profit or loss; (ii) finance income on the net investment in the
lease; and (iii) income relating to variable lease payments not included in the measurement of
the net investment in the lease.
(b) for operating leases: lease income, separately disclosing income relating to variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or a rate.
Concept of deferred selling profit (exception to above treatment in the book of lessor):
Question 15. Lessor Y leases out an equipment (carrying amount Rs 1,36,000 having 5 years life) to
Lessee X for 3 years for annual payment of Rs 50,000 (at the end of every year) and residual value of Rs
50,000, guaranteed by X up to loss of Rs 30,000. Interest rate implicit is 10%. At the end of the lease the
equipment is valued at Rs 33,000. Show accounting in books of X and Y. Show accounting of lease
classified as finance lease in books of Y. The rate of interest income on the net investment in lease,
however, is 19.274%. (ICMAI Study material)
At 10% implicit rate of interest the (Right-of-use) ROU Asset and Lease Liability are initially recognisedat
present value of payments as shown below.
## if during lease any increase or decrease in liability arises when there exists a balance
in ROU, to that extent ROU will be debited/credited instead of P&L.
# Residual Value = 33,000. Loss = 50,000 – 33,000 = 17,000 borne by lessee (guaranteed by lessee up to Rs 30000)
