The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit Loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as per the provision matrix.
The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.
There are no debts due by Directors or other Officers of the Company or any of them either severally or jointly with any other person or debts due by firms or private companies respectively in which any Director is a Partner or a Director or a Member.
This Reserve represents the cumulative profits of the Company and effects of remeasurement of defined benefits obligation. This Reserve can be utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

The High Court has since passed an order on April 24, 2008 in favour of the Company and has struck down the notification withdrawing the excise exemption. The Excise department has preferred an appeal on October 31, 2009 with the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India against the said order of the High Court. The Company has, as a matter of prudence, created a Contingency Reserve of '' 12 900 lakhs by way of appropriation of profits to the extent of excise duty payable (net of Cenvat credit) on dispatches made from the Baddi plant. This Reserve will be reviewed as and when this litigation is finally decided. The appropriation has been made till March 9, 2017, being the last date of excise exemption.

The Company sponsors funded defined benefit gratuity plan for all eligible employees of the Company. The Companyâs defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for India employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered trust, which is administered through trustees and / or Life Insurance Corporation of India, where one of the group company is also the participant.

The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment / availment. The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year.
In respect of the plans, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at June 30, 2023. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
Significant actuarial assumptions in the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
Gratuity Plan (Funded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 383 lakhs (increase by '' 412 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2022: decrease by '' 329 lakhs (increase by '' 354 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 397 lakhs (decrease by '' 374 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2022: increase by '' 344 lakhs (decrease by '' 324 lakhs)).
Compensated absence plan (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the other benefit obligation would decrease by '' 42 lakhs (increase by '' 46 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2022: decrease by '' 38 lakhs (increase by '' 42 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the other benefit obligation would increase by '' 44 lakhs (decrease by '' 41 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2022: increase by '' 41 lakhs (decrease by '' 38 lakhs)).
Post retirement medical benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 7 lakhs (increase by '' 8 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2022: decrease by '' 6 lakhs (increase by '' 7 lakhs)).
If the expected medical inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 7 lakhs (decrease by '' 6 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2022: increase by '' 6 lakhs (decrease by '' 6 lakhs)).
If the expected life expectancy increases (decreases) by 1 year, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 3 lakhs (decrease by '' 3 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2022: increase by '' 2 lakhs (decrease by '' 2 lakhs)).
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method as the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The Provident Fund assets and Liabilities are managed by "Gillette Employees Provident Fund Trust" in Line with The Employeesâ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
The plan guarantees minimum interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are payable to employees at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefit vests immediately on rendering of the services by the employee. In terms of the guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India for measurement of provident fund liabilities, the actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability and based on the assumptions provided below, there is no shortfall as at June 30, 2023.
The Company''s contribution to Provident Fund '' 940 Lakhs (Previous Year: '' 849 Lakhs) has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss under the head employee benefits expense (refer note 24).

c) Post Retirement Medical Benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
The Company provides certain post-employment medical benefits to employees. Under the scheme, employees get medical benefits subject to certain limits of amount, periods after retirement and types of benefits, depending on their grade at the time of retirement.

The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment / availment. The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year.
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.
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 investments.
Longevity risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality rate of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plans 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 on the salary of plan participants will increase the plans liability.
In respect of the plans, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at June 30, 2022. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
Significant actuarial assumptions of the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
Gratuity Plan (Funded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 329 lakhs (increase by '' 354 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2021: decrease by '' 341 lakhs (increase by '' 368 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 344 lakhs (decrease by '' 324 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2021: increase by '' 389 lakhs (decrease by '' 327 lakhs)).
Compensated absence plan (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 38 lakhs (increase by '' 42 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2021: decrease by '' 44 lakhs (increase by '' 49 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 41 lakhs (decrease by '' 38 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2021: increase by '' 46 lakhs (decrease by '' 43 lakhs)).
Post retirement medical benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 6 lakhs (increase by '' 7 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2021: decrease by '' 7 lakhs (increase by '' 7 lakhs)).
If the expected medical inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 6 lakhs (decrease by '' 6 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2021: increase by '' 6 lakhs (decrease by '' 6 lakhs)).
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method as the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The Provident Fund assets and Liabilities are managed by "Gillette India Limited Provident Fund" in Line with The Employeesâ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
The plan guarantees minimum interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are payable to employees at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefit vests immediately on rendering of the services by the employee. In terms of the guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India for measurement of provident fund liabilities, the actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability and based on the assumptions provided below, there is no shortfall as at June 30, 2022.
The Company''s contribution to Provident Fund '' 849 Lakhs (Previous Year: '' 780 Lakhs) has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss under the head employee benefits expense (refer note 24).

Since the Company does not have interest bearing borrowings, it is not exposed to risk of changes in market interest rates. The Company has not used any interest rate derivatives.
31.7 Other price risk management
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. The Company is not exposed to pricing risk as the Company does not have any investments in equity instruments and bonds.
31.8 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value. The Company maintains adequate highly liquid assets in the form of cash to ensure necessary liquidity.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

29 Employee benefit plans29.1 Defined contribution plans
The Company operates defined contribution superannuation fund and employees'' state insurance plan for all qualifying employees of the Company. Where employees leave the plan, the contributions payable by the Company is reduced by the amount of forfeited contributions.
The employees of the Company are members of a state-managed employer''s contribution to employees'' state insurance plan and superannuation fund which is administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company is required to contribute a specific percentage of payroll costs to the contribution schemes to fund the benefit. The only obligation of the Company with respect to the contribution plan is to make the specified contributions.
The total expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss of '' 58 lakhs (for the year ended June 30, 2020: '' 55 lakhs) for superannuation fund represent contributions payable to these plans by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plans. As at June 30, 2021, contributions of '' 5 lakhs (as at June 30, 2020: '' 5 lakhs) due in respect of 2020-2021 (2019-2020) reporting period had not been paid over to the plans. The amounts were paid subsequent to the end of the reporting periods.
a) Gratuity Plan (Funded)
The Company sponsors funded defined benefit gratuity plan for all eligible employees of the Company. The Companyâs defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for India employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered trust, which is administered through trustees and / or Life Insurance Corporation of India, where one of the group company is also the participant. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the memberâs length of service and salary at retirement age.
b) Provident Fund (Funded)
Provident Fund for all permanent employees is administered through a trust. The provident fund is administered by trustees of an independently constituted common trust recognised by the Income Tax authorities where one of the group company is also a participant. Periodic contributions to the fund are charged to revenue. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investment of the trust and notified interest rate by the Government. The contribution by employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
c) Post Retirement Medical Benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
The Company provides certain post-employment medical benefits to employees. Under the scheme, employees get medical benefits subject to certain limits of amount, periods after retirement and types of benefits, depending on their grade at the time of retirement. Employees separated from the Company as part of early separation scheme are also covered under the scheme. The liability for post retirement medical scheme is based on an independent actuarial valuation.
d) Compensated absences for Plant technicians (Unfunded)
The Company also provides for compensated absences for plant technicians which allows for encashment of leave on termination / retirement of service or leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment / availment. The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year.
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. |
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 investments. |
Longevity risk |
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality rate of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plans 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 on the salary of plan participants will increase the plans liability. |
In respect of the plans, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at June 30, 2021. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
Significant actuarial assumptions of the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
Gratuity Plan (Funded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 341 lakhs (increase by '' 368 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2020: decrease by '' 367 lakhs (increase by '' 400 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 349 lakhs (decrease by '' 327 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2020: increase by '' 384 lakhs (decrease by '' 357 lakhs)).
Compensated absence plan (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 44 lakhs (increase by '' 49 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2020: decrease by '' 34 lakhs (increase by '' 37 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 46 lakhs (decrease by '' 43 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2020: increase by '' 36 lakhs (decrease by '' 33 lakhs)).
Post retirement medical benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by '' 7 lakhs (increase by '' 7 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2020: decrease by '' 6 lakhs (increase by '' 7 lakhs)).
If the expected medical inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by '' 6 lakhs (decrease by '' 6 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2020: increase by '' 6 lakhs (decrease by '' 6 lakhs)).
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method as the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The Provident Fund assets and Liabilities are managed by "Gillette India Limited Provident Fund" in Line with The Employeesâ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
The plan guarantees minimum interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are payable to employees at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefit vests immediately on rendering of the services by the employee. In terms of the guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India for measurement of provident fund liabilities, the actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability and based on the assumptions provided below, there is no shortfall as at June 30, 2021.
The Company''s contribution to Provident Fund '' 780 Lakhs (Previous Year: '' 725 Lakhs) has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss under the head employee benefits expense (refer note 23).

The Company only grants credit to creditworthy counterparties.
The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics as disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements.
30.6 Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have interest bearing borrowings, it is not exposed to risk of changes in market interest rates. The Company has not used any interest rate derivatives.
30.7 Other price risk management
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. The Company is not exposed to pricing risk as the Company does not have any investments in equity instruments and bonds.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

Its ordinary shares (Equity) are listed on two recognised stock exchanges in India. The registered office of the Company is located at P&G Plaza, Cardinal Gracias Road, Chakala, Andheri (E), Mumbai - 400099.

2. Significant accounting policies
2.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
2.2 Basis of preparation and presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain items that are measured at fair values at the end of the reporting period, as explained in accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 102, leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurement that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2.
In addition, for the financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
3. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
3.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
I n the application of the Companyâs accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the Company are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods of the revision affects both current and future periods.
3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
a. useful lives of property, plant and equipment
As described at 2.3 (h) above, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period.
b. Fair value measurements and valuation processes
Some of the Companyâs assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. The management of the Company determines appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.
i n estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The management works closely with the qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.
Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities is disclosed in note 30.
c. defined benefit obligation
The costs of providing pensions and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 19 âEmployee benefitsâ over the period during which benefit is derived from the employeesâ services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in note 23, âEmployee benefits expenseâ.
d. Income taxes
The Companyâs tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgments are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions (refer note 26).
The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as per the provision matrix.
The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.
(a) The cost of inventories recognised as an expense during the year is disclosed in note 21, 22 and 25.
(b) The cost of inventories recognised as an expense includes â Nil lakhs (during 2016-2017: Rs.542 lakhs) in respect of write-downs of inventory to net realisable value. There has been no reversal of such write down in current and previous years.
4(a). Cash and cash equivalents

The Company had in earlier years filed a writ petition in the High Court of Himachal Pradesh at Shimla challenging the premature withdrawal of Excise duty exemption for packing / repacking activities at its Baddi Manufacturing Facility. The High Court has since passed an order on April 24, 2008 in favour of the Company and has struck down the notification withdrawing the excise exemption. The Excise department has preferred an appeal on October 31, 2009 with the Honâble Supreme Court of India against the said order of the High Court. The Company has, as a matter of prudence, created a Contingency Reserve of Rs.12 900 lakhs (Previous Year: Rs.12 900 lakhs) by way of appropriation of profits to the extent of excise duty payable (net of Cenvat credit) on dispatches made from the Baddi plant. Accordingly, during the current year, profit of â Nil lakhs (Previous Year: Rs.2 700 lakhs) have been appropriated. This Reserve will be reviewed as and when this litigation is finally decided. The appropriation has been made till March 9, 2017, being the last date of excise exemption.
(i) The provision for employee benefits includes gratuity, post retirement medical benefits (PRMB) and compensated absences.

5. Segment information
5.1 Products from which reportable segments derive their revenues
Information reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of goods delivered. The directors of the Company have chosen to organise the Company around differences in products. No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Company.
Specifically, the Companyâs reportable segments under Ind AS 108 are as follows:
- The grooming segment, produces and sells shaving system and cartridges, blades, toiletries and components.
- The oral care segment, produces and sells tooth brushes and oral care products.
5.2 Segment revenues and results
Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers. There were no inter-segment sales in the current year (2016-2017: Nil lakhs).
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Companyâs accounting policies described in note 2.3(o). Segment profit represents the profit before tax earned by each segment without allocation of unallocated corporate expenses net of unallocated income, other income as well as finance costs. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
For the purpose of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:
a) All assets are allocated to reportable segments other than loans, other financial assets and income and deferred tax assets. Assets used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual reportable segments; and
b) All liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than other financial liabilities and current tax liabilities. Liabilities for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in proportion to the segment cost ratio.
6.1 Basic and Diluted earnings per share
The earnings and weighted average number of equity shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
7. Employee benefit plans
7.1 Defined contribution plans
The Company operates defined contribution superannuation fund and employeesâ state insurance plan for all qualifying employees of the Company. Where employees leave the plan, the contributions payable by the Company is reduced by the amount of forfeited contributions.
The employees of the Company are members of a state-managed employerâs contribution to employeesâ state insurance plan and superannuation fund which is administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company is required to contribute a specific percentage of payroll costs to the contribution schemes to fund the benefit. The only obligation of the Company with respect to the contribution plan is to make the specified contributions.
The total expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss of Rs.70 lakhs (for the year ended June 30, 2017: Rs.92 lakhs) for superannuation fund represent contributions payable to these plans by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plans. As at June 30, 2018, contributions of â Nil lakhs (as at June 30, 2017: Rs.7 lakhs) due in respect of 2017-2018 (2016-2017) reporting period had not been paid over to the plans. The amounts were paid subsequent to the end of the reporting periods.
7.2 Defined benefit plans
a) Gratuity Plan (Funded)
The Company sponsors funded defined benefit gratuity plan for all eligible employees of the Company. The Companyâs defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for India employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered trust, which is administered through trustees and / or Life Insurance Corporation of India, where one of the group company is also the participant. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the memberâs length of service and salary at retirement age.
b) Provident Fund (Funded)
Provident Fund for all permanent employees is administered through a trust. The provident fund is administered by trustees of an independently constituted common trust recognised by the Income Tax authorities where one of the group company is also a participant. Periodic contributions to the fund are charged to revenue. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investment of the trust and notified interest rate by the Government. The contribution by employer and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
c) Post Retirement Medical Benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
The Company provides certain post-employment medical benefits to employees. Under the scheme, employees get medical benefits subject to certain limits of amount, periods after retirement and types of benefits, depending on their grade at the time of retirement. Employees separated from the Company as part of early separation scheme are also covered under the scheme. The liability for post retirement medical scheme is based on an independent actuarial valuation.
d) Compensated absences for Plant technicians (Unfunded)
The Company also provides for compensated absences for plant technicians which allows for encashment of leave on termination / retirement of service or leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment / availment. The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
In respect of the plans, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at June 30, 2018. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
The Companyâs Plan Assets in respect of Gratuity, alongwith one of the group company, is funded through the group scheme of the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The actual return on plan assets was Rs.122 lakhs (for the year ended June 30, 2017: Rs.141 lakhs).
Significant actuarial assumptions of the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
Gratuity Plan (Funded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by Rs.203 lakhs (increase by Rs.220 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2017: decrease by Rs.233 lakhs (increase by Rs.253 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by Rs.217 lakhs (decrease by Rs.202 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2017: increase by Rs.247 lakhs (decrease by Rs.230 lakhs)).
Compensated absence plan (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by Rs.18 lakhs (increase by Rs.19 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2017: decrease by Rs.21 lakhs (increase by Rs.23 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by Rs.19 lakhs (decrease by Rs.18 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2017: increase by Rs.22 lakhs (decrease by Rs.21 lakhs)).
Post retirement medical benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
If the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by Rs.5 lakhs (increase by Rs.6 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2017: decrease by Rs.10 lakhs (increase by Rs.11 lakhs)).
If the expected medical inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by Rs.5 lakhs (decrease by Rs.5 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2017: increase by Rs.10 lakhs (decrease by Rs.9 lakhs)).
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method as the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
7.3 Provident Fund
The Provident Fund assets and liabilities are managed by âGillette India Limited Provident Fundâ in line with The Employeesâ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
The plan guarantees minimum interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are payable to employees at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefit vests immediately on rendering of the services by the employee. In terms of the guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India for measurement of provident fund liabilities, the actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability and based on the assumptions provided below, there is no shortfall as at June 30, 2018.
The Companyâs contribution to Provident Fund Rs.619 lakhs (Previous Year: Rs.602 lakhs) has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss under the head employee benefits expense (refer note 23).
The details of the âGillette India Limited Provident Fundâ and plan assets position as at June 30, 2018 is given below:
8. Financial instruments

8.2 Financial risk management objectives
The Companyâs overall policy with respect to managing risks associated with financial instruments is to minimise potential adverse effects of financial performance of the Company. The policies for managing specific risks are summarised below.
8.3 Foreign currency risk management
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters.
The carrying amounts of the Companyâs foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
8.4.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to the currencies stated above.
The following table details impact to profit or loss of the Company by sensitivity analysis of a 10% increase and decrease in the respective currencies against the functional currency of the Company. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change on foreign currency rates.
8.5 Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of the counterpartyâs financial position as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss arising from defaults. The Company only grants credit to creditworthy counterparties.
The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics as disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements.
8.6 Interest rate risk management
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have interest bearing borrowings, it is not exposed to risk of changes in market interest rates. The Company has not used any interest rate derivatives.
8.7 Other price risk management
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. The Company is not exposed to pricing risk as the Company does not have any investments in equity instruments and bonds.
8.8 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value. The Company maintains adequate highly liquid assets in the form of cash to ensure necessary liquidity.
The table below analyse financial liabilities of the Company into relevant maturity groupings based on the reporting period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date:
8.9 Fair value measurements
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
9. Share-based payments
a) International Stock Ownership Plan (Stocks of the Ultimate Holding Company)
The Gillette Company, USA (TGC) had a âGlobal Employee Stock Ownership Planâ (employee share purchase plan) whereby specified employees of its subsidiaries have been given a right to purchase shares of TGC.

Subsequent to the worldwide merger of Aquarium Acquisition Corporation (wholly owned subsidiary of the Procter & Gamble Company, USA) with The Gillette Company, USA on October 1, 2005, the shares of The Gillette Company got delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Upon this change in control the 2005 Gillette Option award got automatically converted into P&G options at the established conversion ratio of 0.975 shares in the Procter and Gamble Company, USA for every share held in the Gillette Company. The shares of the Gillette Company (till September 30, 2005) / The Procter & Gamble Company, USA were/are listed with New York Stock Exchange of USA.

2. Segment information
3. Products from which reportable segments derive their revenues
Information reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of goods delivered. The directors of the Company have chosen to organize the Company around differences in products. No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Company.
Specifically, the Company''s reportable segments under Ind AS 108 are as follows:

The amounts were paid subsequent to the end of the reporting periods.
30.2 Defined benefit plans
a) Gratuity Plan (Funded)
The Company sponsors funded defined benefit gratuity plan for all eligible employees of the Company. The Company''s defined benefit gratuity plan is a final salary plan for India employees, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered trust, which is administered through trustees and / or Life Insurance Corporation of India, where one of the group company is also the participant. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member''s length of service and salary at retirement age.
b) Provident Fund (Funded)
Provident Fund for all permanent employees is administered through a trust. The provident fund is administered by trustees of an independently constituted common trust recognized by the Income Tax authorities where one of the group company is also a participant. Periodic contributions to the fund are charged to revenue.

c) Post Retirement Medical Benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
The Company provides certain post-employment medical benefits to employees. Under the scheme, employees get medical benefits subject to certain limits of amount, periods after retirement and types of benefits, depending on their grade at the time of retirement. Employees separated from the Company as part of early separation scheme are also covered under the scheme. The liability for post retirement medical scheme is based on an independent actuarial valuation.
d) Compensated absences for Plant technicians (Unfunded)
The Company also provides for compensated absences for plant technicians which allows for encashment of leave on termination / retirement of service or leave with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate leave subject to certain limits for future encashment / a ailment. The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year.
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: Investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
Longevity risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best
estimate of the mortality rate of plan participants both during and after their employment.
_An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plans 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 on the salary of plan participants _will increase the plans liability._
In respect of the plans, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at June 30, 2017. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
The Company''s Plan Assets in respect of Gratuity, alongwith one of the group company, is funded through the group scheme of the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The actual return on plan assets was Rs, 141 lakhs (for the year ended June 30, 2016: Rs, 194 lakhs).
Significant actuarial assumptions of the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
Gratuity Plan (Funded)
I f the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by Rs, 233 lakhs (increase by Rs, 253 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2016: decrease by Rs, 159 lakhs (increase by Rs, 171 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by Rs, 247 lakhs (decrease by Rs, 230 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2016: increase by Rs, 170 lakhs (decrease by Rs, 159 lakhs)).
Compensated absence plan (Unfunded)
I f the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by Rs, 21 lakhs (increase by Rs, 23 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2016: decrease by Rs, 13 lakhs (increase by Rs, 15 lakhs)).
If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by Rs, 22 lakhs (decrease by Rs, 21 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2016: increase by Rs, 15 lakhs (decrease by Rs, 13 lakhs)).
Post retirement medical benefit (PRMB) (Unfunded)
I f the discount rate is 50 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by Rs, 10 lakhs (increase by Rs, 11 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2016: decrease by Rs, 8 lakhs (increase by Rs, 10 lakhs)).
If the expected medical inflation rate increases (decreases) by 0.5%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by Rs, 10 lakhs (decrease by Rs, 9 lakhs) (as at June 30, 2016: increase by Rs, 8 lakhs (decrease by Rs, 7 lakhs)).
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method as the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
6. Provident Fund
The Provident Fund assets and liabilities are managed by "Gillette India Limited Provident Fund" in line with The Employees'' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.

In terms of the guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India for measurement of provident fund liabilities, the actuary has provided a valuation of provident fund liability and based on the assumptions provided below, there is no shortfall as at June 30, 2017.

The Company''s risk management committee manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return on capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
9. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to the currencies stated above.
The following table details impact to profit or loss of the Company by sensitivity analysis of a 10% increase and decrease in the respective currencies against the functional currency of the Company. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change on foreign currency rates.
10. Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of the counterparty''s financial position as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss arising from defaults. The Company only grants credit to creditworthy counterparties.
The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics as disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements.
11. Interest rate risk management
I nterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have interest bearing borrowings, it is not exposed to risk of changes in market interest rates. The Company has not used any interest rate derivatives.
12. Other price risk management
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. The Company is not exposed to pricing risk as the Company does not have any investments in equity instruments and bonds.
13 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value. The Company maintains adequate highly liquid assets in the form of cash to ensure necessary liquidity.
14. Fair value measurements
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

Notes to the reconciliations
a. Property, plant and equipment:
In the financial statements prepared under previous GAAP, Leasehold land was disclosed as a part of fixed assets and measured at the total lease payment made at the time of lease agreement and the same was amortized over the period of the lease on a yearly basis. Under Ind AS, the leasehold land is treated as prepaid expenses for lease rentals and the prepayment forms a part of other current and non-current assets. Accordingly, the prepaid expense as at July 1, 2015 is Rs, 776 lakhs, current portion is Rs, 11 lakhs and non current is Rs, 765 lakhs and as at June 30, 2016 is Rs, 765 lakhs, current portion is Rs, 11 lakhs and non current is Rs, 754 lakhs. Additionally the amortisation on leasehold land is treated as rent expense and Rs, 11 lakhs for the year ended June 30, 2016 is transferred from depreciation expense to other expenses.
b. Proposed Dividend:
I n the financial statements prepared under previous GAAP, dividend on equity shares recommended by the Board of Directors after the end of reporting period but before the financial statements were approved for issue, was recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period relating to which dividend was proposed. Under Ind AS, such dividend is recognized in the reporting period in which the same is approved by the members in a general meeting.
On the date of transition, the above change in accounting treatment of proposed dividend has resulted in increase in Equity with a corresponding decrease in Provisions by Rs, 7 844 lakhs as at June 30, 2016. The above change has also resulted in an increase in Equity with a corresponding decrease in provision by Rs, 5 883 lakhs as at July 1, 2015.
c. Revenue from operations:
I n the financial statements prepared under previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented net of excise duty. However, under Ind AS, revenue from sale of products includes excise duty. Excise duty expense amounting to Rs, 1 914 lakhs is presented separately on the face of the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended June 30, 2016.
I n the financial statements prepared under previous GAAP, sales incentive scheme expenses were shown as a part of other expenses. However, under Ind AS, such discounts and sales promotional expenses amounting to Rs, 20 312 lakhs for the year ended June 30, 2016, are reduced from revenue from sale of products.
I n light of the above, revenue from sale of products under Ind AS has decreased by Rs, 18 398 lakhs (Rs, 20 312 lakhs less Rs, 1 914 lakhs) with an corresponding increase in excise duty by Rs, 1 914 lakhs and decrease in other expenses by Rs, 20 312 lakhs in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended June 30, 2016.
The above changes do not affect equity as at date of transition to Ind AS, profit after tax for the year ended June 30, 2016 and Equity as at June 30, 2016.
d. Remeasurement benefit of defined benefit plans:
I n the financial statements prepared under previous GAAP, remeasurement benefit of defined plans, arising primarily due to change in actuarial assumptions was recognized as employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, such remeasurement benefits relating to defined benefit plans is recognized in OCI as per the requirements of Ind AS 19 - Employee benefits. Consequently, the related tax effect of the same has also been recognized in OCI.
For the year ended June 30, 2016, remeasurement of gratuity liability and PRMB resulted in a net benefit of Rs, 292 lakhs which has now been removed from employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss and recognized separately in OCI.
Under Previous GAAP, the interest cost on defined benefit liability was recognized as employee benefit expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, the Company has recognized the net interest cost on defined benefit plans amounting to Rs, 94 lakhs for the year ended June 30, 2016 as finance cost.
This has resulted in decrease in employee benefits expense by Rs, 386 lakhs (Rs, 292 lakhs and Rs, 94 lakhs) and gain in OCI by Rs, 292 lakhs and finance cost by Rs, 94 lakhs for the year ended June 30, 2016. Consequently, tax effect of the same amounting to Rs, 101 lakhs is also recognized separately in OCI.
The above changes do not affect Equity as at date of transition to Ind AS and as at June 30, 2016. However, Profit before tax and profit for the year ended June 30, 2016 decreased by Rs, 292 lakhs and Rs, 191 lakhs respectively.
e. Employee stock option plan:
In the financial statement prepared under previous GAAP, the cost of equity-settled employee share-based payments was recognized at the time of exercise of the stock options. Under Ind AS, the cost of equity-settled employee share-based payments is recognized based on the fair value of the options as on the grant date. On transitioning to Ind AS, fair value of partially vested share-based payment plans has been recognized in equity of Rs, 83 lakhs as at July 1, 2015 and Rs, 115 lakhs for the year ended June 30, 2016.
The above change has resulted in decrease in profit after tax for the year ended June 30, 2016 by Rs, 115 lakhs increase in deferred tax asset as at June 30, 2016 by Rs, 39 lakhs and increase in equity as at June 30, 2016 by Rs, 39 lakhs.
