As you are aware the output of the entire nversion to XBRL entails generation of Instance document in XML format (machine readable). The output from any Software needs to get validated by the MCA validation tool. The MCA validation tool is based on:
* Taxonomy specified by MCA (available on MCA web)
* MCA 21 Business rules (More than 700 in number including all dependencies etc)
* Technical specifications of XBRL international and MCA
There are many good applications and tools in the market. Every potential user needs to check the ease of filing, the type and nature of validations and quality of review reports as well of the instance document before deciding on the application. One needs to nsider the following essential re aspects:
* Whether the XBRL Application is just a platform to perform tagging to MCA taxonomy and generate instance document or does it ease the process of tagging and is likely to generate a more aurate output. If the tagging process is not done aurately, which is likely to be the case nsidering that this is the first year the user of the application will get to know only when the MCA Validation tool throws up errors and then the user will have to go through the entire process of untagging, retagging etc. A good application will have inbuilt business rules, appropriate review report etc so that the XML instance document is aurate and passes the MCA validation tool with least effort
* It is not sufficient to do just mandatory elements and minimum tagging. There are detailed calculations and business rules prescribed. One should also keep in mind the fact that this is the only filing being done with MCA and in aurate filing along with in aurate certification is inviting trouble/ notices etc from ROC
* MCA 21 XBRL filing is very different from a normal Ine tax filing. It is therefore essential to not look at MCA filing with a tax filing mindset
We are of the firm belief that XBRL filing is a simple and easily understandable procre, suessfully being performed the world-over. Let us all understand the ncepts and requirements of MCA filing as well as appreciate the essential features of a good and effective software or nsultant so that the MCA filing on XBRL is just another routine filing and not a very plicated and earth shattering ncept as some people are making it out to be.
