When classifying a joint arrangement structured through a separate vehicle as a joint operation vs joint venture under Ind AS 111, an entity assesses:
AOnly the contractual arrangement
BLegal form of the separate vehicle + terms of the contractual arrangement + (when relevant) other facts and circumstances
COnly the legal form of the separate vehicle
DOnly voting rights in the separate vehicle
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Legal form of the separate vehicle + terms of the contractual arrangement + (when relevant) other facts and circumstances
Ind AS 111 requires assessment of all three: legal form, contractual terms, and other facts/circumstances. A separate vehicle's legal form is the starting point, but contractual override (e.g. partners contractually take rights to assets/obligations for liabilities) can flip the classification to joint operation.
