1. Critical Estimates and Judgements:
The Preparation of financial statements require the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the companyâs accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different that those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
- Estimation of Provisions & Contingent Liabilities
The Company exercises judgement in measuring and recognising provisions and the exposures to contingent liabilities which is related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims. Judgement is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and to quantify the possible range of the financial settlement. Because of the inherent uncertainty in this evaluation process, actual liability may be different from the originally estimated as provision. (Refer Note 25)
- Estimated useful life of tangible and intangible assets
The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an assetâs expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Companyâs assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology. For the relative size of the Companyâs intangible assets. (Refer Note 3 & 4)
- Estimation of defined benefit obligation
The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for post employments plans include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of such obligations.
The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the defined benefit obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of government bonds of maturity approximating the terms of the related plan liability. Refer note 11 for the details of the assumptions used in estimating the defined benefit obligation. (Refer Note 11)
- Impairment of trade receivables
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. Credit risk has been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix and forward-looking information and an assessment of the credit risk over the expected life of the financial asset to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. (Refer Note 22)
- Estimated fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Management uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions used and the impact of changes to these assumptions (Refer Note 21).
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Represents estimates made for probable liabilities arising out of pending assessment proceedings with various Government Authorities. The information usually required by Ind AS 37 - âProvisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assetsâ, is not disclosed on grounds that it can be expected to prejudice the interests of the Company. The timing of the outflow with regard to the said matter depends on the exhaustion of remedies available to the Company under the law and hence, the Company is not able to reasonably ascertain the timing of the outflow.
(a) Compensated absences
The leave obligation cover the Company liability for sick and earned leave.
(b) Post employment benefit obligations Gratuity
The gratuity plan of the Company is a funded and administered by TATA AIA Life Insurance Company Limited.The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied by the number of years of service.
(c) Defined contribution plans
The Company makes contributions to Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), which are defined contribution plan, for qualifying employees. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company recognised Rs. 74.79 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 77.73 lakhs) for provident fund contributions and Rs. 4.25 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 3.11 lakhs) for contribution to ESIC in the statement of profit and loss. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
The major categories of plan assets are as follows:
Risk Exposure
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate 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. Plan investment is a mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
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 planâs 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 during 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 benefit 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.
The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognised funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments. The Company monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations, with the objective that assets of the gratuity obligations match the benefit payments as they fall due. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.
Defined benefit liability and employers contributions
Expected contributions to post employment benefits for the year ended March 31, 2019 are Rs. 23.25 lakhs for the funded plan.
The weighted average duration of the projected benefit obligation is 10 years ( 31 March 2017- 7 years) for the funded plan. The weighted average duration of the projected benefit obligation is 9 years ( 31 March 2017- 12 years) for the CFS at Chennai and 11 years ( 31 March 2017- 11 years) for Punjab Conware CFS. The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted gratuity is as follows:
(i) Fair Value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels as prescribed in the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Except for those financial assets/liabilities mentioned in the above table, the Company considers that the carrying amounts recognised in the financial statements approximate their fair values. For financial assets that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
Level 1 Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted price. This includes mutual funds that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level - 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example trade bond, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation technique which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity -specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level-2.
Level -3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is include in level 3.
There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.
The fair values of investment in preference shares, margin money and non current borrowings were calculated based on cash flows discounted at current lending rate/ borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs, includings own credit risk.
(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation technique used to value financial instruments include:
1) The mutual funds are valued using closing NAV available in the market.
2) The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
2(a) Significant estimates
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques, if any. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
3 Financial Risk Management
The Company is exposed to the market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explain the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manage the risk .

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with bank and financial institution and other financial instruments.
The Company has defined default period as 180 days past due with no payment received in past 180 days. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which the Company operates and other macro-economic factors. The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as: adverse changes in business, changes in the operating results of the counterparty, change to the counterpartyâs ability to meet its obligations etc. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

14. Fair Value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Except for those financial assets/liabilities mentioned in the above table, the Company considers that the carrying amounts recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values. For financial assets that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
Level 1 Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted price. This includes mutual funds that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level - 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example trade bond, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation technique which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity -specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level-2.
Level -3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is include in level 3.
15. Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation technique used to value financial instruments include:
16. The mutual funds are valued using closing NAV available in the market.
17. The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
18.Significant estimates
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
19. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with bank and financial institution, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
The Company has defined default as 180 days past due with no payment received in past 180 days. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which the Company operates and other macro-economic factors. The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as: adverse changes in business, changes in the operating results of the counterparty, change to the counterparty''s ability to meet its obligations etc. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.
20. Credit Risk Management
Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk has been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix and forward-looking information and an assessment of the credit risk over the expected life of the financial asset to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables.
Of the Trade Receivables balance as at March 31, 2017 of Rs.3,283.70 lakhs (2016- Rs. 3,498.14 lakhs and 2015 - Rs.2,284.15 lakhs), the top 5 customers of the Company represent the balance of Rs. 574.87 lakhs (2016- Rs. 744.01 lakhs and 2015 - Rs. 483.45 lakhs).

This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets.

The company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts/arrangements.
47. Business combinations
Ind AS 101 provides the option to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date.

48. Long Term Foreign Currency Monetary Items

54.De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity''s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.
The company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.
55.Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets (investment in debt instruments) on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.
56.Reconciliations between IGAAP and Ind AS
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from IGAAP to Ind AS.
The presentation requirements under IGAAP differs from and hence the IGAAP information has been reclassified for ease of reconciliation with Ind AS. The reclassified IGAAP information is derived based on the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st March,2016 and 31st March, 2015.
57.: Fair Value of Investments
Under the previous GAAP, investments in mutual funds were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and realisability. Long-term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments (other than equity instruments designated as at FVOCI) have been recognized in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March 2016. This increased the retained earnings by Rs. 4.28 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - Nil). Accordingly, the profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 increased by Rs. 4.28 lakhs.
58.: Other Current Assets
Under the previous GAAP, upfront leasehold land premium and upfront operations and management fees paid for Punjab Conware CFS were presented as part of Property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets respectively .

There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result of this adjustment.
59.Other Non-Current Assets
Under the previous GAAP, upfront leasehold land premium and upfront operations and management fees paid for Punjab Conware CFS were presented as part of Property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets respectively . Under Ind AS, these are shown under other noncurrent assets as prepaid expenses, with the current portion shown under current assets. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result of this adjustment.
60: Assets classified as held for sale
Under the previous GAAP,assets classified as held for sale was presented as part of other current assets. Under Ind AS, this is shown separately on the face of Balance Sheet. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result of this adjustment.
61Other financial liabilities- Proposed dividend
Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the Board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend of Rs. 3,620.51 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 Rs. 3,794.05 lakhs) included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.
62.Deferred tax
Under IGAAP, deferred tax accounting was done using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under IGAAP.
In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or other comprehensive income, on the date of transition. Accordingly, the liability for deferred tax has increased by Rs. 37.69 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 Rs. Nil) with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.
63. Capital Work in progress
Finance cost on borrowings, which were expensed under IGAAP qualifies under Ind AS to be capitalised and carried forward as part of Capital Work in progress. An amount of Rs. 104.60 lakhs as on 31 Mar 2016 (31 March 2015: Rs. Nil) were capitalized.
Consequent to the above, the total equity as at 31 March 2016 increased by Rs. 104.60 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - Rs. Nil) and Total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2016 increased by Rs. 104.60 lakhs.
64: Re measurements of post-employment benefit obligations
Under Ind AS, re measurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the IGAAP, these re measurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 decreased by Rs. 7.73 lakhs. There is no impact on the total equity as at 31 March 2016.
65: Other comprehensive income
Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as "other comprehensive income" represents re measurements of defined benefit plans and its tax impact of Rs. 5.05 lakhs. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.
66. Equity component of investment in preference share
Under the previous GAAP, investment in preference shares of subsidiaries and joint venture are recorded at the transaction price. Under Ind AS, investment in preference shares is treated as financial asset. Such asset is recorded at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate method (except those subsequently measured at fair value). The difference between fair value and transaction price on initial recognition is recognized as additional investment in subsidiary and joint venture. Equity Investment in subsidiary and joint venture is tested for impairment. As a result of this adjustment, retained earnings has increased by Rs. 4,528.52 Lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (01 April 2015 Rs. 3,521.75 Lakhs). The profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 has increased by Rs. 1,006.77 lakhs as a result of recognizing income from premium receivable on redemption and unwinding of discount using effective interest rate method.
