Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting [Text Block]	Note 1 – Business, Organization and Liquidity Business and Organization Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (“Tel,” “TIC” or the “Company”) has been in business since 1947. The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of avionics test and measurement instruments for the global, commercial air transport, general aviation, and government/military defense markets. Tel provides instruments to test, measure, calibrate, and repair a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment. The Company sells its equipment in both domestic and international markets. Tel continues to develop new products in anticipation of customers’ needs and to maintain its strong market position. Its development of multi-function testers has made it easier for customers to perform ramp tests with less operator training, fewer test sets, and lower product support costs. The Company has become a major manufacturer and supplier of Identification Friend or Foe (“IFF”) flight line test equipment over the last two decades. The Company is publicly traded and was quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market Place (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “TIKK.” Liquidity On September 30, 2023, the Company had positive net working capital of $3,504,945, as compared to working capital of $3,058,638 at March 31, 2023. The Bank of America line of credit has been extended from July 30, 2023 maturity to December 31, 2023 maturity. As of September 30, 2023, the $690,000 line of credit was fully used. On September 30, 2023, the Company had $356,942 of cash on hand. The Company had a $6.5 million sales backlog on September 30, 2023. The Company had recorded total damages of $6,559,233 including interest of $1,659,233 as a result of the jury verdict associated with the Aeroflex litigation as well as the Court’s decision on punitive damages. A decision on the case was rendered and released on July 21, 2023, the Kansas Appeals Court rejected each of TIC’s appeal arguments, however there will be no impact on net worth, as these damages had already been fully accrued. TIC paid the full judgement amount of $6,559,233 on September 15, 2023. The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a refundable tax credit for businesses that continued to pay employees while shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic or had significant declines in gross receipts from March 13, 2020 to December 31, 2021. Eligible employers can claim the ERC on an original or adjusted employment tax return for a period within those dates. The Company filed adjusted employment tax returns for quarters one and two of calendar year 2021, with a refund of $628,401 that was on June 1, 2023. Moving forward, we believe that our expected cash flows from operations and fulfillment of our $6.5 million open orders will be sufficient to operate in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Currently, the Company has no material future capital expenditure requirements. Impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 coronavirus has spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and the U.S. government imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States, Europe, and certain other countries. The impact of this pandemic has been, and will likely continue to be, extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted, and will likely continue to result, in significant disruptions to the global economy as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. On September 9, 2021, President Biden announced Executive Order 14042 (“Executive Order”) and related initiatives designed to lead the country out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Executive Order includes policies that will require employees of contractors that do business with the federal government to be vaccinated. On September 24, 2021, The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force released COVID-19 vaccine guidance for Federal contractors and subcontractors. According to this guidance, covered employees must be fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021, or at the latest, by the first day of performance on a covered contract, absent the need for a disability or religious accommodation. In addition, covered contractors must follow the CDC’s mask and physical distance requirements for covered contractor employees and visitors. The Executive Order and the guidance apply to any prime contractor or subcontractor that is a party to a “contract or contract-like instrument” that includes a clause incorporating the requirements of the Executive Order. The new clause applied on or after October 15, 2021, to only new federal contracts, solicitations, contract extensions and renewals. On December 7, 2021, the federal court in Georgia issued a preliminary injunction temporarily halting the enforcement of EO 14042 (Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors) for all covered contracts nation-wide. New guidance from OMB also followed suit giving federal agencies input on how to go about non-enforcement provisions until legal challenges have been resolved. The updated guidance will remain applicable despite any change to new or existing court decisions. The new guidance does not impact the Safer Federal Workforce Taskforce Guidance.
