On the call, we will provide an overview of the basic concepts around classification of financial instruments into financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments.

The principles in Ind AS 32 complement the principles for recognising and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities in Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, and for disclosing information about them in Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
