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.

ICAI, which is assisting MCA with conduct of XBRL training, has been instructed to develop standard Training module as well identify resource persons in consultation with XBRL training partners located at different parts on the country. Leading Chambers of industry and Professional Institutes, namely, ICWAI and ICSI are also conducting XBRL training in coordination with MCA. Training will be held over the next few months in most leading cities of India. Details of the same will be available on website http://www.mca.gov.in/XBRL/. Professional Institutes, viz., ICAI, ICSI & ICWAI have also been advised to develop MCA XBRL filing related relevant resource materials.

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.
