IFRS 16 COMPLIANT

Handle Any Lease Modification with Confidence

All 4 IFRS 16 / Ind AS 116 modification scenarios handled automatically — correct P&L treatment, dual schedules, and complete audit trail.

4 Modification Scenarios, Fully Automated

Each scenario follows precise IFRS 16 / Ind AS 116 guidance for correct accounting treatment.

Scenario S1

New Independent Lease Addition

A new right-of-use asset is added that was not part of the original contract. The new lease is treated as a separate, independent lease with its own schedules.

P&L Impact

No P&L impact

The new lease starts fresh with no gain or loss recognized.

Dual Schedule

No

A new independent schedule is created alongside the original.

Scenario S2

Decrease in Scope

The scope of the lease decreases — for example, returning part of the leased space. The lease liability and ROU asset are proportionally reduced.

P&L Impact

Gain / Loss recognized

The difference between the proportional reduction in liability and the ROU asset is recognized in P&L.

Dual Schedule

Yes

Original schedule preserved for audit trail; new schedule reflects the reduced scope going forward.

Scenario S3

Partial Termination

Part of the lease is terminated before the original expiry date. Similar to S2 but specifically for early termination of a portion of the leased asset.

P&L Impact

Gain / Loss recognized

A gain or loss is calculated and recognized in P&L based on the terminated portion.

Dual Schedule

Yes

Dual schedules maintained: original (pre-modification) and revised (post-termination).

Scenario S4

Extension / Scope Increase

The lease term is extended or the scope increases — for example, adding more floor space or extending the tenure. The liability and ROU asset are remeasured.

P&L Impact

No P&L impact

No gain or loss is recognized. The adjustment flows through the Balance Sheet only.

Dual Schedule

Yes

Dual schedules maintained: original schedule for the period before modification, revised schedule going forward.

Precision at Every Step

Date of Modification Handling

Enter the exact modification date and the system handles pro-rata calculations for the transition period.

Pro-Rata Interest Calculation

Interest is calculated precisely up to the modification date, ensuring accurate journal entries.

Automatic Recalculation

All schedules — LL, ROU, SD, ARO — are automatically recalculated from the modification date forward.

Dual Schedule Maintenance

Original and modified schedules are preserved side-by-side for complete audit trail and comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ZapLease determine the correct modification scenario?
When you initiate a modification, ZapLease presents all four scenarios with clear descriptions. You select the applicable scenario based on your contract change, and the system applies the correct accounting treatment — including P&L recognition, dual schedules, and remeasurement — automatically.
What happens to the original amortization schedule after a modification?
For scenarios S2, S3, and S4, the original schedule is preserved in full for audit purposes. A new 'modified' schedule is generated from the modification date forward. You can view original, modified, or combined schedules in reports.
Can I modify a lease that has already been modified?
Yes. ZapLease supports sequential modifications. Each modification builds on the current state of the lease, and a complete modification history is maintained with timestamps and details.
How is gain or loss calculated in S2 and S3 scenarios?
The gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the proportional decrease in lease liability and the proportional decrease in the ROU asset, measured as of the modification date. This amount is recognized directly in P&L and appears in journal entries.
