As per Ind AS 7 “where bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand form an integral part of
an entity’s cash management, bank overdrafts are included as a component of cash and cash
equivalents. Although Ind AS 7 permits bank overdrafts to be included as cash and cash equivalent,
for the purpose of presentation in the balance sheet, it would not be appropriate to include bank
overdraft in the line item cash and cash equivalents unless the netting off conditions as given in
paragraph 42 of Ind AS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation are complied with.
Bank overdraft, in the balance sheet, will be included within financial liabilities. Just because the
bank overdraft is included in cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of Ind AS 7, does not mean
that the same should be netted off against the cash and cash equivalent balance in the balance
sheet.
