This is a defined benefit plan and statutory liability of the Company. The Company has to pay the Gratuity to the employees as per the provisions of The Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 irrespective of the availability of the funds with the Gratuity Fund.
The Gratuity Liability is computed on actuarial valuation basis done at year end using the Project Unit Credit Method is provided for in the books of account and is based on a detailed working done by a certified Actuary. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested.
The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is certified by the actuary.

The expected contributions for Defined Benefit Plan for the next financial year will be in line with financial year 2017-18.
These gratuity plan typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. For other defined benefit plans, the discount rate is determined by reference to market yield at the end of reporting period on high quality corporate bonds when there is a deep market for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability.
Salary risk
The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability.
c. Provident fund
The Company has an obligation to fund any shortfall on the yield of the trustâs investments over the administered interest rates on an annual basis. These administered rates are notified by the Government annually. The actuary has provided a valuation based on the below provided assumptions and there is no shortfall as at March 31, 2018.

8 Financial Risk Management
The Companyâs activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note explains the sources of risks which the entity is exposed to and how it mitigates that risk.
A Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. Company is exposed to credit risk from trade receivables and deposits with banks. To manage this, Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account loan given factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings with the Company for extension of credit to customers. Company monitors the payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Concentrations of credit risk are limited as a result of the Companyâs large and diverse customer base. Company has also taken advances and security deposits from its customers / agents, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent. The ageing of trade receivable is given below:
Following table summarises the change in loss allowances measured using life time expected credit loss model. No significant changes in the estimation techniques or assumption were made during the period.
Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the comparative banks with which loan/term deposits are maintained. Generally, term deposits are maintained with banks with which Company has also availed borrowings.
B Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that a Company may encounter difficulties in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. The table below provides undiscounted cash flows towards financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date.
C Market risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of movements in interest rates, inventory price and foreign currency exchange rates that affects its assets, liabilities and future transactions.
i) Interest rate risk
Fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument because of changes in market interest rates gives rise to interest rate risk. Almost 100% of the Companyâs borrowings are linked to SBI base rate rates of the banks. With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of change in interest rate on borrowing cost on floating rate portion of loans.
ii) Inventory price risk
The Company is exposed to the movement in price of principal finished product i.e. sugar. Prices of the sugar cane is fixed by government. Generally, sugar production is carried out during sugar cane harvesting period from November to April. Sugar is sold throughout the year which exposes the sugar inventory to the movement in the price. Company monitors the sugar prices on daily basis and formulates the sales strategy to achieve maximum realisation. The sensitivity analysis of the change in sugar price on the inventory as at year end, other factors remaining constant is given in table below:
iii) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk arises commercial transactions that recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not Companyâs functional currency (INR). The Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk at the respective reporting dates.
9 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial instruments measured at fair value can be divided into three levels for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:
a) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short-term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities and short-term borrowings carried at amortised cost is not materially different from its carrying cost largely due to short-term maturities of these financial assets and liabilities.
b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rate fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are evaluated by Company based on parameters such as interest rate, credit rating or assessed creditworthiness.
c) Non-listed shares and other securities fall within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuation is based on the net asset method.
d) Fair value of the borrowing items fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is calculated on the basis of discounted future cash flows.
Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Companyâs financial instruments that are recognised in the financial statements.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, there was no transfers between level 2 and level 3 fair value hierarchy. During the year ended March 31, 2017, there was no transfers between level 2 and level 3 fair value hierarchy.
Following table shows the reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances of the level 3 values.
10 During the current year and in past four years, Company has incurred losses resulting into reduction of net worth to that extent. The losses were mainly attributable to high raw material i.e. sugarcane price (as fixed by the Government) and relatively lower price of finished goods i.e. sugar and molasses (determined by market forces based on the demand-supply equation), both of which are external factors. As at year end, Company has overdue instalments of certain debts and dues payable to farmers for sugarcane purchases. The Company continues to operate at optimal levels and expects improvement in the operational efficiencies in the form of improvement in yield, sugar recovery, reduction of overheads, finance and other costs, sale of certain non-core assets etc. The debt restructuring concluded during the year as per RBIâs S4A Scheme, will result into improved liquidity during next 7 years. Also pursuant to a favourable Order of Honâble Supreme Court of India, the Company expects to receive benefits under the Sugar Promotion Policy 2004. In view of the above, the management expects to generate positive cash flow from operations and accordingly, the financial statements are continued to be presented on going concern basis, which contemplates realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
11 Capital Management
There has not been any change in its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital from previous year. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
12 The Proposal for sale of Co-Generation power business of the Company as was initiated in earlier years primarily for the purpose of utilising the sale proceeds towards repayment/ prepayment of Companyâs debt which has consequently been shelved as the Company has restructured loan under the scheme for sustainable structuring of stressed assets (S4A Scheme).
13 The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors, at its meeting held on May 26, 2018.
14 Previous year figures have been regrouped/reclassified wherever necessary to correspond with the current yearâs classification/disclosures.

a) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short-term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities and short-term borrowings carried at amortized cost is not materially different from its carrying cost largely due to short-term maturities of these financial assets and liabilities.
b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rate fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are evaluated by Company based on parameters such as interest rate, credit rating or assessed credit worthiness.
c) Non-listed shares and other securities fall within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuation is based on the net asset method.
d) Fair value of the borrowing items fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is calculated on the basis of discounted future cash flows.
e) Ind AS 101 allow Company to fair value Property, Plant and Equipment on transition. Company has fair valued certain land at fair value as deemed cost and the fair valuation is based on replacement cost approach falling within level 2 hierarchy.
Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company''s financial instruments
that are recognized in the financial statements:
During the year ended March 31, 2017, there were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 fair value hierarchy. During the year ended March 31, 2016, there were transfers from level 1 to level 3 fair value hierarchy, due to cessation of associates.
Following table shows the reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances of the level 3 values:
9. In the past few years, Company incurred operational losses resulting into erosion of considerable net worth of the Company. The operational losses were mainly attributable to high sugarcane price and low sugar realization, particularly in case of sugar mills in the State of Uttar Pradesh. Sugar season 2015-16 and 2016-17 has brought respite for sugar mills after a long gap. Improvement in the sugar yield of sugar for sugarcane and sugar price has resulted in low sugarcane cost per quintal of sugar and better revenue generation. As at year end, Company has overdue installment of bank loan and interest and dues to farmers for cane purchase.

15. Details of Loans given, investment made and guarantee given covered under Section 186(4) of the Companies Act, 2013:
- Investment made are given under note 13
- Loan given to subsidiaries are given under note 19
- Loans given to others and guarantees / securities given by the Company as at March 31, 2016 are as under:
16. The Company holds entire beneficial interest in BHL Securities Trust ("the Trust") that holds equity shares of the Company carried at Rs, 693.72 crore as at March 31, 2016, which were allotted to the Trust in 2010 pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation of its erstwhile subsidiary Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar and Industries Ltd. with the Company as approved by the Hon''ble Bombay High Court. The market value of these shares as at March 31, 2016 is Rs, 62.20 crore, resulting into substantial diminution in its value. The Company also holds unquoted non-convertible Preference Shares at Rs, 350.04 crore and unquoted optionally convertible debentures at Rs, 370.48 crore as at March 31, 2016 in Phenil Sugars Ltd. whose net worth has been substantially eroded. Based on the likely policy measures for the sugar industry by Central and State Governments, approval of debt restructuring schemes for the company as well as Phenil Sugars Ltd, and their resultant business outlook, the management is of the opinion that these diminution in value of investments are temporary in nature and will be recovered in the next few years with improved performance and therefore no provision for the same is made during the year,
17. For the sugar season 2015-16, the cane liability has been provided @ Rs, 280/- per quintal (SAP declared by Government of Uttar Pradesh).

Central Government has announced subsidy of Rs, 4.50 per quintal of cane crushed for the sugar season 2015-16 vide its notification no. 20(43)/201 5-S.P.-I dated December 02, 2015. Company has accounted for subsidy of Rs, 20.04 crore on the basis of eligibility,
18. Exceptional items in respect of previous year includes Rs, 294.76 crore written back of depreciation due to change of method, Rs,148.02 crore impairment of fixed assets of board division and Rs, 142.91 crore written off of current assets.
19. Since last few sugar seasons, sugar industry have been reeling under continuous operational losses. This scenario was mainly attributable to high sugarcane price and low sugar realization, particularly in case of sugar mills in the State of Uttar Pradesh. During the last few years, due to surplus sugar production as compared to domestic consumption, sugar realization has remained lower than cost of production. These factors coupled with high interest burden significantly impacted the performance and cash flows of the Company. Operational losses in past three years have resulted into erosion of considerable net worth of the Company. Sugar season 2015-16 has brought slight respite for sugar mills after a long gap. Improvement in the yield of sugar from sugarcane and sugar prices has resulted in low sugarcane cost per quintal of sugar and better revenue generation. Considering certain key policy decisions and reliefs for sugar mills being contemplated by the governments and better market scenario in coming years, the Management expects to improve operating cash flows through cost synergies, revenue management, improved realization etc. These measures are expected to result in sustainable cash flows and accordingly the Financial Statements continue to be presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
20. Previous year figures have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary to correspond with the current year''s classification / disclosures.
21. As per Accounting Standard (AS)-17 on "Segment Reporting", segment information has been provided under the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

of fixed assets. Further as per paragraph 46A, inserted vide

6. a) At the request of the Company, the Joint Lenders' Forum (JLF
Lenders) led by State Bank of India has approved the corrective action
plan for restructuring of existing credit facilities on December 03,
2014 under JLF route in accordance with the applicable framework and
guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India. Accordingly, a Master
Restructuring Agreement (MRA) has been signed on December 30, 2014
among the Company and JLF lenders, by virtue of which the restructured
facilities are governed by the provisions specified in the MRA. The
cut- off date for restructuring under JLF route is July 31, 2014.
b) The Company and JLF Lenders have executed the MRA during the year.
The MRA as well as guidelines of Reserve Bank of India issued on debt
restructuring under JLF route give a right to the JLF lenders to get
recompense of their waivers and sacrifices made as per corrective
action plan. The recompense payable by the Company is contingent on
various factors including improved performance of the company and many
other conditions, the outcome of which currently is materially
uncertain and hence the proportionate amount payable as recompense is
treated as a contingent liability. The aggregate present value of
recompense till March 31, 2015 payable to the JLF lenders as per MRA
is approximately Rs. 17.98 crore for the Company.
c) As per terms of restructuring approved by lenders, the promoters are
required to bring promoter contribution amounting to Rs. 200 crore in
phased manner till September 2015 in the form of equity capital /
preference capital / unsecured loan / other similar instruments. An
amount of Rs. 175 crore has been brought by promoters as unsecured loan
till March 31, 2015. Interest on the unsecured loan of promoters, if
any, payable shall be determined after the restructuring period is
completed.
d) As per the terms of MRA, interest payable on the term loan for the
period from August 01, 2014 to July 31, 2016 would be converted into
Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL). 70% of FITL shall be converted into
equity. The shareholders approved the preferential issue of shares to
through postal ballot. Part of the FITL, has been converted into equity
by allotment of 17,08,41,266 equity shares to lenders on March 30, 2015
at the premium of Rs. 20.77 per share. Company would issue further
equity for conversion of balance FITL as and when demanded by the
lenders. Since there is uncertainty on the number of shares which shall
be issued pursuant to such conversion, the computation of which is
dependent on the provisions of applicable guidelines of SEBI, the
possible impact of the same on the diluted earnings per share of the
company has not been given.
7. Details of loans given, investment made and guarantee given
covered under Section 186(4) of the Companies Act, 2013.
- Investment made are given under note 14
- Loans given to subsidiaries are given under note 20
8. The Company holds entire beneficial interest in BHL Securities
Trust ("the Trust") that holds equity shares of the Company carried at
Rs. 693.72 crore as at March 31, 2015, which were allotted to the Trust
pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation of its erstwhile subsidiary
Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar and Industries Ltd. with the Company as approved
by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court. The market value of these shares as
at March 31, 2015 is Rs. 44.78 crore, resulting into substantial
diminution in its value. The Company also holds unquoted
non-convertible Preference Shares at Rs. 350.04 crore and unquoted
optionally convertible debentures at Rs. 370.48 crore as at March 31,
2015 in Phenil Sugars Ltd. whose net worth has been substantially
eroded. However, based on the likely policy measures for the sugar
industry by Central and State Governments, approval of debt
restructuring schemes for the company as well as Phenil Sugars Ltd, and
their resultant business outlook, the management is of the opinion that
diminution in value of investments are temporary in nature and will be
recovered in the next few years with improved performance and therefore
no provision for the same is made during the year.
9. From April 01, 2014, as per the new Companies Act, 2013, the
Company has changed its method of providing depreciation with
retrospective effect on tangible fixed assets other than Plant and
Machinery and Aircraft, from the 'Written Down Value' method to
'Straight Line' method. Management believes that this change will
result in more appropriate presentation and will give a systematic
basis of depreciation charge, representative of the time pattern in
which the economic benefits will be derived from the use of these
assets and will be uniform with the method of depreciation provided for
other assets. Accordingly, surplus arising from retrospective
computation aggregating to Rs. 294.76 crore for the period upto March
31, 2014 has been accounted as per Accounting Standard (AS-6) and
disclosed under exceptional item. Had the Company continued to use the
earlier method of depreciation, the depreciation charge for the year
would be higher by Rs. 108.38 crore.
10. For the sugar season 2014-15 the cane liability has been provided
@ Rs. 280 per quintal (SAP declared by Government of Uttar Pradesh).
The "financial assistance" on cane purchased receivable (subject to
certain conditions) from the Government of Uttar Pradesh, pursuant to
its letter No.2970 CD/46-3-14-3(48)/98-99 dated December 24, 2014, will
be recognised by the Company as and when the Company becomes eligible.
11. Exceptional items includes Rs. 294.76 crore written back of
depreciation due to change of method, Rs. 148.02 crore impairment of
fixed assets of board division and Rs. 142.91 crore written off of
current assets.
12. The Indian sugar industry has been adversely affected over past
few years due to continuous operational losses incurred by the sugar
mills. The wide gap between the high cost of sugarcane and low
realisation from sugar particularly in the state of Uttar Pradesh have
severely impacted the financial and economic condition of the sugar
mills. The surplus production as compared to the domestic consumption
year after year coupled with lower international prices has kept the
domestic sugar prices subdued. These factors coupled with high interest
burden significantly impacted the performance and cash flows of the
Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company has incurred cash losses in the current year and also
during the immediately preceding financial year. The accumulated
losses have resulted into erosion of considerable net worth of the
Company. However, with the approval of scheme for restructuring of
existing credit facilities by the lender banks of the Company in

the Economy", during the year and certain key policy decisions and
reliefs for sugar mills being contemplated by the governments, the

synergies, revenue management, improved realisations, etc. These
measures are expected to result in sustainable cash flows and
accordingly the Financial Statements continue to be presented on a

settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
