by A parent shall present consolidated financial statements in which it consolidates its investments in subsidiaries in accordance with this Standard. Where a parent is a company, the consolidated financial statements shall be in the form set out in Appendix C to this Standard or as near thereto as circumstances admit.
A parent presents separate financial statements in compliance with paragraphs 3843.
Scope of Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidated financial statements shall include all subsidiaries of the parent.
Control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity unless, in exceptional circumstances, it can be clearly demonstrated that such ownership does not constitute control. Control also exists when the parent owns half or less of the voting power of an entity when there is:

If on acquisition a subsidiary meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind AS 105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, it shall be accounted for in accordance with that Indian Accounting Standard.

(a) power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other investors;
(b) power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity under a statute or an agreement;
(c) power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body; or
(d) power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors or equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body.
An entity may own share warrants, share call options, debt or equity instruments that are convertible into ordinary shares3, or other similar instruments that have the potential, if exercised or converted, to give the entity voting power or reduce another partys voting power over the financial and operating policies of another entity (potential voting rights). The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible, including potential voting rights held by another entity, are considered when assessing whether an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of another entity. Potential voting rights are not currently exercisable or convertible when, for example, they cannot be exercised or converted until a future date or until the occurrence of a future event.
In assessing whether potential voting rights contribute to control, the entity examines all facts and circumstances (including the terms of exercise of the potential voting rights and any other contractual arrangements whether considered individually or in combination) that affect potential voting rights, except the intention of management and the financial ability to exercise or convert such rights.
A subsidiary is not excluded from consolidation simply because the investor is a venture capital organisation, mutual fund, unit trust or similar entity.
A subsidiary is not excluded from consolidation because its business activities are dissimilar from those of the other entities within the group. Relevant information is provided by consolidating such subsidiaries and disclosing additional information in the consolidated financial statements about the different business activities of subsidiaries. For example, the disclosures required by Ind AS 108 Operating Segments help to explain the significance of different business activities within the group.
