Accounting standards are not applicable on which of the following?

Correct option is A

Accounting Standards (AS) in India are issued to bring uniformity and comparability in financial reporting. These standards are applicable to all commercial, industrial, and business enterprises, regardless of their form—whether corporate (companies) or non-corporate (sole proprietorships, partnership firms, cooperatives, etc.).
However, entities that do not carry on any commercial, industrial, or business activity are outside the scope of Accounting Standards.
Among the given options:
· A charitable organisation having no business activity does not engage in commercial or profit-oriented transactions.
· Therefore, it is not considered a business enterprise, so Accounting Standards do not apply.
