The values that are entered manually will be considered only for Taxonomy elements and will not affect the books of accounts.

On disclosure of all the Profit and Loss Adjustments, the Total profit (loss) for period (as per MCA Taxonomy Element) and Total profit (loss) for period as per Books of Accounts transferred to Balance sheet will be displayed.

If there is any difference, the Difference amount will be displayed in Red.

Method 2: Profit and Loss Adjustments are not accounted in the books of Accounts
