7.2 Configuration Changes

A. Alignment with Ind AS 117 – Insurance Contracts

For insurance companies adopting Ind AS, version 48 introduces new validation rules for discount rates, risk adjustment, and contractual service margin (CSM). Earlier versions (47 and below) often threw false positives on insurance-specific elements.

4. Changes in Validation Rules (Targeted Fixes)

Version 48 Hot introduces 9 updated validation rules and 3 new ones: MCA Releases XBRL Validation Tool Version 48: Key

• Rule MCA-XBRL-1489 (Hot-fixed): Formula Assert_NetProfit_Mismatch now correctly references P&L after tax, not before tax. Prior v48 used incorrect preTaxProfit concept.
• Rule MCA-XBRL-2210 (New): Prohibits nil values in mandatory monetary facts unless nilReason explicitly provided (e.g., nilReason="inapplicable").
• Rule MCA-XBRL-3345 (Fixed): Calculation inconsistency in cash flow statement – indirect method adjustments no longer falsely trigger “summation error” when DecreaseInTradePayables is negative.
• Rule MCA-XBRL-4099 (Hot-specific): Rejects instance documents containing more than 5 unreported abstract parents – earlier version allowed up to 20, causing bloated but invalid filings.
