Schedule III Balance Sheet Skeleton
Page 2 draws the Schedule III Balance Sheet as a two-block vertical skeleton. The CBSE paper almost always tests item placement under the correct head, so a wrong head loses the mark even when the figure is right.
| I. Equity and Liabilities | II. Assets |
|---|---|
| Shareholders' Funds (Share Capital, Reserves and Surplus) | Non-current Assets (Fixed Assets, Investments) |
| Share Application Money Pending Allotment | Long-term Loans and Advances |
| Non-current Liabilities (Long-term Borrowings) | Current Assets (Inventories, Receivables, Cash) |
| Current Liabilities (Short-term Borrowings, Trade Payables) | Short-term Loans and Advances |
Page 5 applies the twelve-month test: an item is current if realised/settled within 12 months of reporting date or the normal operating cycle; otherwise non-current. Margin note: "No operating cycle given? Default to 12 months; never leave an item unclassified."
Statement of Profit and Loss Format
Page 6 shows the P&L ladder in fixed Schedule III order. The CBSE paper tests the format or specific profit lines.
| Line | Item | What goes here |
|---|---|---|
| I | Revenue from Operations | Sale of products and services, net of returns. |
| II | Other Income | Interest, dividend, profit on sale of assets. |
| III | Total Revenue (I + II) | - |
| IV | Expenses | Cost of materials, employee benefits, finance and depreciation. |
| V | Profit before Tax (III − IV) | - |
| VI | Profit after Tax | Profit before Tax less tax expense. |
