The Ind AS 105:

adopts the classification ‘held for sale’.introduces the concept of a disposal group, being a group of assets to be disposed of, by sale or otherwise, together as a group in a single transaction, and liabilities directly associated with those assets that will be transferred in theclassifies an operation as discontinued at the date the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the entity has disposed of the operation.

An entity shall classify a non-current asset (or disposal group)  as  held  for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to  terms that are usual  and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must be  highly probable. Thus, an  asset (or disposal group) cannot be  classified  as a non-current asset (or disposal group) held for sale,  if  the entity  intends to sell it in a distant future. For the sale to be highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group), and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must  have  been  initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale  at  a  price  that   is  reasonable  in   relation  to   its  current  fair  value.  In addition, the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, except as permitted by paragraph 9 of the Standard, and actions required to  complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and:

represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; oris a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to

A component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity.  In other words, a component of an entity will have been   a cash-generating unit or a group of  cash-generating units while being held  for use. An entity shall not classify as held for sale a non-current asset (or disposal group) that is to be abandoned.
