Furthermore, if any item of income or expense that is otherwise required to be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with Ind AS is debited or credited to securities premium account/other reserves, the amount in respect thereof shall be deducted from profit or loss from continuing operations for the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share.
