XBRL instance document creation software has to be purchased from the software vendors in the market. This software is used to create XBRL instance documents that would be uploaded on the MCA portal. Stakeholders may check whether the software is compliant with the Business Rules published by the MCA. MCA will provide a Validation Tool to provide a facility for validation of the instance document and filing of the same on the MCA Website. However, please note that MCA is not recommending any specific XBRL software.

XBRL allows for reporting textual information by a company. Textual information like Director’s Report, Auditor Report, etc. can be provided in XBRL by using the HTML guidelines and detailed tagging requirements. HTML guidelines, which are required to be adhered, have been provided in the ‘Filing Manual’. Ideally, such technical requirements shall be catered by the XBRL instance document creation software.

Investments need to be tagged in detail. These should not be tagged using broader categories. Please see the level and scope of tagging requirements mentioned on the MCA XBRL portal for details.

All the significant accounting policies can be block tagged at one place as appearing in the published financial statements. Further the textual elements which are mandatory as per the MCA Business Rules need to be tagged individually as well.

In the “Disclosure of relationship and transactions between related parties [Table]”, details including name, CIN, etc. of all the related parties including holding companies need to be given.
