When an entity contributes ONLY ASSETS or GROUPS OF ASSETS THAT DO NOT CONSTITUTE BUSINESSES to a newly formed joint operation, the Ind AS 103 acquisition-method principles:

AApply fully
BApply only to goodwill
CDo NOT apply — the business-combination principles only apply if at least one party contributes an EXISTING BUSINESS
DApply only to deferred tax
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Do NOT apply — the business-combination principles only apply if at least one party contributes an EXISTING BUSINESS
The Ind AS 111 carve-in to Ind AS 103 is triggered only when an EXISTING BUSINESS is contributed. Pure asset contributions remain outside the BC framework — they're accounted under the relevant Ind AS on assets (e.g. Ind AS 16, Ind AS 38).
