1.00 Summary of significant accounting policies
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the presentation of these financial statements.
1.01 BASIS OF PREPARATION
(i) Compliance with Ind AS
The standalone financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) and relevant rules issued thereunder. In accordance with proviso to the Rule 4A of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the terms used in these financial statements are in accordance with the definitions and other requirements specified in the applicable Accounting standards.
(ii) Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
- certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value; and
- defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.
1.02 ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousands, except where otherwise indicated.
1.03 CURRENT VERSUS NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION
The Company presents its assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current if it is:
a) Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
a) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Companyâs normal operating cycle. Based on the nature of operations, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current - noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.
1.04 USE OF JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES & ASSUMPTIONS
While preparing financial statements in conformity with Ind AS, the management makes certain estimates and assumptions that require subjective and complex judgments. These judgments affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the statement of financial position date and the reported amount of income and expenses for the reporting period. Financial reporting results rely on our estimate of the effect of certain matters that are inherently uncertain. Future events rarely develop exactly as forecast and the best estimates require adjustments, as actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The managemnet continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as below:
Key sources of estimation uncertainity
a) Financial instruments; (Refer note 4.08 )
b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; (Refer note 1.06 & 1.07 )
c) Valuation of inventories; (Refer note 1.10 )
d) Assets and obligations relating to employee benefits; (Refer note 4.05 )
e) Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets; (Refer note 2.04 ) and
f) Contingencies. (Refer note 4.02 )
1.05 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The Companyâs financial statements are prepared in I NR, which is also the Companyâs functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances Monetary items
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Non - Monetary items
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
1.06 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of any decommissioning obligation, if any. The purchase price is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.
Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to statement of profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Stores & Spares which meet the definition of property plant and equipment and satisfy the recognition criteria of Ind AS 16 are capitalized as property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation on Property, Plant & Equipment is provided on straight line method except Furniture and Fixtures. In accordance with requirements prescribed under Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013, the Company has assessed the estimated useful lives of its Property, Plant & Equipment and has adopted the useful lives and residual value as prescribed in Schedule II. Furniture and Fixtures are depreciated on written down value basis.
Depreciation on additions/deletions during the year are provided on pro rata basis. In case of impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.
All assets costing up to Rs. 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of capitalisation.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
1.07 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on straight line basis over their useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each year end. The amortisation expense on Intangible assets with finite lives and impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Business application software intended for long term use are recorded at their acquisition cost and the cost of assets at their carrying value.
Amortisation of intangible assets
Computer software is amortized over the estimated usefu life of the assets.
1.08 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Carrying amount of tangible assets and intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetâs carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or Companyâs assets (cash-generating units). Non- financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
1.09 LEASES
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
As a Lessee Operating Lease
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases.
1.10 INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on FIFO basis) and the net realizable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and Finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty.
1.11 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Initial Recognition and Measurement - Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and ancillary costs related to borrowings) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement: Financial Assets
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (âFVTOCIâ) or fair value through profit or loss (âFVTPLâ) on the basis of following:
- the entityâs business model for managing the financial assets and
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Amortised Cost:
A financial asset is classified and measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
FVTOCI:
A financial asset is classified and measured at FVTOCI if both of the following conditions are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
FVTPL:
A financial asset is classified and measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For Trade Receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Classification and Subsequent measurement: Financial Liabilities
The Companyâs financial liabilities include trade payables and other financial liabilities.
Financial Liabilities at FVTPL:
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is held for trading or are designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL.
Gains or losses on financial liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Other Financial Liabilities:
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities:
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
1.13 PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of managementâs best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a current pretax rate. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the case of:
- a present obligation arising from the past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
- a present obligation arising from the past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;
- a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent Assets is disclosed when inflow of economic benefits is probable.
1.14 REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue (Income) is recognized when no significant uncertainty as to determination or realization exists. Sales are recognized ex-works and are inclusive of excise duty and net of sales tax / GST.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. Interest income is included under the head âOther incomeâ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.15 TAXES ON INCOME
Current tax:
Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis on estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments / appeals.
Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax:
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised outside the statement of profit and loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
1.16 GOVERNMENT GRANT
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it shall be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. The above criteria is also used for recognition of incentives under various scheme notified by the Government.
1.17 GRATUITY AND OTHER POST - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
a) Short-term obligations
Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at an undiscounted amount in the Statement of profit & loss of the year in which the related services are rendered.
b) Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
- defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
- defined contribution plans such as provident fund.
Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in INR is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss as past service cost.
Defined contribution plans
The company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
c) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
1.18 EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
1.19 IMPACT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) with effect from July 1, 2017, VAT / Central Sales Tax, Excise Duty etc. have been subsumed into GST and accordingly, the same is not recognised as part of sales in terms of Ind AS 18. This has resulted in lower reported sales in the current year in comparison to the sales reported under the pre-GST structure of indirect taxes. With the change in structure of indirect taxes, expenses are also being reported net of taxes. Accordingly, figures for the year ended and as on March 31, 2018 such as sales, expenses, elements of working capital (Inventories, other current assets / current liabilities) and ratios in percentage of sales, are not comparable with the figures of the previous year.
1.20 IND AS 115- REVENUE FROM CONTRACT WITH CUSTOMERS:
On March 28, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified the Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entityâs contracts with customers.
The standard permits two possible methods of transition:
- Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8- Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch-up approach). The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018.
The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2018 by using the the cumulative catch-up transition method and accordingly, comparatives for the year ended March 31, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 is expected to be insignificant.
The Company has substantial unused tax losses and unused tax credits. The deferred tax assets relating to such deductible temporary differences, carry forward unused tax losses and carry forward unused tax credits is significantly higher than deferred tax liabilities. On conservative approach, the Company has recognized deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation only to the extent of its deferred tax liabilities.
The company is occupying two plots of lease Land of which one Plot of Land was not in active use since long and has initiated action for disposal of this land and accordingly this asset is disclosed in âAsset Held for Sale â and is valued at lower of amortised cost or fair market value and amortisation for the year therof is charged to statement of profit and loss.
Mar 31, 2015
1) Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India
(Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013 ("the 2013 Act") / Companies Act, 1956 ("the 1956
Act"), as applicable. The financial statements have been prepared on
accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting
policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are
consistent with those followed in the previous year.
2) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which
the results are known / materialise.
3) Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the
normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash
or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as
12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and
liabilities as current and non-current.
4) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of
past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are
segregated based on the available information.
5) Fixed Assets: (Tangible/ Intangible)
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation /
amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets
comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates,
any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently
recoverable from the tax authorities), any directly attributable
expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other
incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to
acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up to the date the asset is
ready for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets
after its purchase / completion is capitalised only if such expenditure
results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond
its previously assessed standard of performance.
6) Depreciation and Amortisation:
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount
substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets, except furniture and fixtures,
has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life
prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Depreciation on furniture and fixtures is calculated on Written down
value basis as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013.
Cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of the lease.
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on
straight line method as follows:
a) Technical Knowhow is amortised over its useful life of seventeen
years which is the useful life of plant and machinery for which it is
used.
b) Computer software are amortized over a period of three years from
the date of their acquisition.
7) impairment of Assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance
sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment
exists.
If the carrying amount of the assets exceed the estimated recoverable
amount, an impairment is recognised for such excess amount. The
impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and
their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the
future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate
discount factor.
8) Leases:
Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognised as
operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
7) inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on FIFO basis)
and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other
losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in
bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other
levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and
Finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where
applicable, excise duty.
8) Revenue recognition:
Sale of goods:
Sales are recognised, net of returns and trade discounts, on transfer
of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which
generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers. Sales
include excise duty, where applicable, but exclude sales tax and value
added tax.
Other Income:
Revenue in respect of other income is recognized when no significant
uncertainty as to its determination or realization exists.
9) Foreign Currency Transactions:
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are
accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the
transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date
of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items of the Company, outstanding at the
balance sheet date are restated at the year-end rates. Non-monetary
items of the Company are carried at historical cost.
Exchange differences arising on settlement / restatement of foreign
currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised
as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
10) Employees Benefits:
Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, employee
state insurance scheme, gratuity fund, compensated absences and pension
fund.
Defined contribution plans
The Company's contribution to provident fund, superannuation fund,
employee state insurance scheme and Pension fund are considered as
defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the
amount of contribution required to be made and when services are
rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plan
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund the cost of
providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit
method, with actuarial valuation being carried out at each balance
sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost
is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already
vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the
average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit
obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value
of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past
service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset
resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of
available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the
schemes.
Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised
during the year when the employees render the service.
Long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve
months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the
related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of
the defined benefit obligation as at the balance sheet date.
11) Taxes on income:
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than
unabosrbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent
that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which these can be realised. However, if
there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses and items
relating to capital losses,, deferred tax assets are recognised only if
there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that there
will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise the
assets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to
taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company
has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets
are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their realisability.
12) Government Grants:
Government grants in the nature of promoter's contribution like
investment subsidy, where no repayment is ordinarily expected in
respect thereof, are treated as capital reserve.
13) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the
financial statements.
Mar 31, 2014
1) Accounting Convention:
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India
(Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under
Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the 1956 Act") (which
continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013 ("the 2013 Act") in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated
13 September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and the
relevant provisions of the 1956 Act/ 2013 Act, as applicable. The
financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the
historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the previous year.
2) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which
the results are known / materialized.
3) Fixed Assets:
(a) Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation /
amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets
comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates,
any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently
recoverable from the tax authorities), any directly attributable
expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other
incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to
acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up to the date the asset is
ready for its intended use.
(b) Intangible assets: Certain technical know how costs are capitalised
and recognised as Intangible assets in accordance with Accounting
Standard-26 " Intangible Assets" based on materiality, accounting
prudence and significant economic benefits expected to flow therefrom
for a period longer than one year.
4) Impairment of Assets
The carrying values of assets/cash generating units at each balance
sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
5) Depreciation and Amortisation:
(i) Depreciation on all Fixed assets except furniture and fixtures is
calculated on straight line basis under section 205(2)(a) of the
Companies Act,1956 at the rates and in the manner as specified in
schedule XIV of the said Act.
(ii) Depreciation on furniture & fixtures is calculated on written down
value basis under section 205(2)(a) of the Companies Act, 1956 at the
rates and in the manner as specified in schedule XIV of the Companies
Act, 1956.
(iii) Cost of leasehold land is written off over the period of lease,
(iv) Intangible asset like Technical Knowhow in respect of Technical
Documentation Information and process technology and exclusive license
used to manufacture products is amortised over the useful life of
seventeen years like the life of plant and machinery for which it is
used.
(v) Intangible asset being computer software are amortized over the
period of three years from the date of their acquisition.
6) Leases:
Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognised as
operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis.
7) Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (FIFO basis) and the net
realizable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses,
where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the
goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit
insurance and receiving charges. Finished goods include appropriate
proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty. Process
stock is valued at material cost.
8) Revenue recognition:
Sales are recognised, net of returns and trade discounts, on transfer
of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which
generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers. Sales
include excise duty but exclude sales tax and value added tax.
9) Foreign Currency Transactions:
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are
accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the
transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date
of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items (other than
derivative contracts) of the Company, outstanding at the balance sheet
date are restated at the year-end rates. Non-monetary items of the
Company are carried at historical cost.
10) Employees Benefits:
Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, employee
state insurance scheme, gratuity fund, compensated absences, long
service awards and post-employment medical benefits.
Defined contribution plans
The Company''s contribution to provident fund, superannuation fund and
employee state insurance scheme are considered as defined contribution
plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution
required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plans and compensated absences
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity, the cost of
providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit
method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance
sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost
is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already
vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the
average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit
obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value
of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past
service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset
resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus
the present value of available refunds and reductions in future
contributions to the schemes.
The cost of short-term compensated absences is accounted as under:
(a) in case of accumulated compensated absences, when employees render
the services that increase their entitlement of future compensated
absences; and
(b) in case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences
occur.
11) Taxation:
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than
unabsorbed depreciation and carryforward losses only to the extent that
reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which these can be realised. However, if there are
unabsorbed depreciation and carryforward of losses, deferred tax assets
are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be
sufficient future taxable income available to realise the assets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to
taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company
has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets
are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their readability.
Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in
reserves are recognised in reserves and not in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
12) Government Subsidy:
Subsidy in the nature of Capital Investment is treated as capital
reserve.
13) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the
financial statements.
