Human Resource Accounting is a developing idea that aims to measure, record, analyse and report the value of human capital, an organization’s most critical asset. Despite the significance, traditional practices of accounting in India continue to ignore the human resources, emphasizing more on physical and financial assets likes building and cash. This study explores the concept and importance of human resource accounting, examines the challenges hindering its adoption, and highlights the potential benefits of integrating human capital into mainstream accounting. Furthermore, the paper discloses the current Indian companies that have adopted human resource accounting & practices, offering insights into their methodologies, related legal provisions and reporting frameworks in Indian context. The research follows a descriptive design and is based on qualitative analysis of secondary data, including corporate reports, academic literature, and credible online sources, to provide a comprehensive understanding of HRA practices in India. The study reveals that while a few long-term visionary organizations have begun to implement HRA, widespread adoption remains limited due to the absence of standardized guidelines, regulatory backing and awareness as well.
