Frequently Asked Questions — IND AS 116 Model 3

What are escalation rents and how are they treated under IND AS 116?
Escalation rents are lease payments that increase by a fixed percentage or fixed amount at specified intervals. Under IND AS 116, these are classified as fixed in-substance payments since the amount and timing of each increase is contractually known at commencement. The present value of all future escalated payments must be included in the lease liability at commencement (para 26(a)) — not just the opening rent.
What is the difference between Model 1 (flat rent) and Model 3 (escalation rent)?
Model 1 assumes a constant rent throughout the lease term. Model 3 (this calculator) handles leases where the rent increases at regular intervals by a fixed percentage or amount, or is linked to an index such as CPI. Use Model 3 whenever your lease agreement contains a rent escalation clause or index-linked rent review.
Does IND AS 116 require remeasurement when rent escalation occurs?
No. If the escalation rate was fixed and contractually specified at commencement, no remeasurement is required when the escalation actually happens — it was already built into the initial lease liability. Remeasurement is only triggered by changes to the lease term, changes to the discount rate, a change in an index or rate the payments are linked to (para 42), or modifications to the underlying lease agreement.
What journal entries are needed for an escalating rent lease under IND AS 116?
Four entries: (1) Commencement — Dr. ROU Asset / Cr. Lease Liability. (2) Each period Finance charge — Dr. Finance Cost / Cr. Lease Liability. (3) Each period Payment — Dr. Lease Liability / Cr. Bank. (4) Each period Depreciation — Dr. Depreciation / Cr. Accumulated Depreciation on ROU Asset. The finance charge and depreciation continue on this same pattern even as the contractual rent step-up increases the cash payment each period.
