10. Risk Management :
The companyâs activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk:
a. Credit Risk: Credit Risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. Primarily exposure to the credit risk is from trade receivables amounting to '' 15,975.15 lakhs (previous year '' 14,821.81 lakhs) and unbilled revenue amounting to '' 1,283.48 lakhs (previous year '' 913.08 lakhs) which are typically unsecured. Credit risk is being managed
by continuously monitoring the outstanding dues from the customers.
Further, most of the clients of the company are Government or Government Undertakings; hence credit risk is bare minimum. Company has impaired, as a prudent measure, the trade receivables towards expected credit loss as per company accounting policy to the extent of '' 8,068.06 lakhs (previous year '' 7,641.80 lakhs). Keeping in view the nature of business expected credit loss is provided as per the policy on impairment of financial assets.
No significant credit risk on cash and
bank balances amounting to '' 2,318.41 lakhs (previous year '' 4,172.09 lakhs) is expected as company parks surplus funds with Schedule Banks having good credit adequacy ratio and least NPA as determined by RBI and guidelines of the company. Company has parked its owned funds in fixed deposits of '' 17,871.05 lakhs (previous year '' 17,675.14 lakhs) with Schedule banks with negligible credit risks.
The Company has also provided House Building Loan, Vehicle Loan and Computer Loan to the employees amounting to '' 2.58 lakhs (previous year '' 2.75 lakhs), these loans are secured and the Company does not envisage any risk from the same in nearby future.
The Company has granted interest bearing loans to its subsidiaries (incl. interest) amounting to '' 2,741.74 lakh (previous year '' 1,928.44 lakh).
b. Liquidity risk: Company''s principal
source of liquidity are ""cash and bank balances"" and the cash flow that is generated from the operations. The Company has no bank borrowings and is an unleveraged entity.
The Company has a working capital of '' 32,246.86 lakh (previous year
'' 24,779.71 lakh) including cash
and bank balances of '' 2,318.41 lakhs (previous year '' 4,172.09
lakhs). Fund flow statement and
investment of surplus funds is also reported in the audit committee meetings held from time to time.
Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its requirements and to discharge its liabilities towards trade payables and other current liabilities as and when they fall due, accordingly no liquidity risk is being perceived by the Company.
c. Market Risk:
⢠Interest rate risk: The company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent of its investments in fixed deposits with banks. The company also invested in preference share
capital of its subsidiary company Utkal Ashok Hotel Corporation limited (unit is non-operative since 31.03.2004).
⢠Foreign currency risk: The Company has duty free shops at major sea ports in India. The foreign currency is being collected against the sale proceeds from customers at these shops.
The duty free goods for the same are purchased centrally for these shops. The Foreign currency exposure in the company is not material.
d. Capital Management:
The Companyâ s capital management objectives are :
- to ensure the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern
- to provide an adequate return to shareholders
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of balance sheet. Management assesses the Companyâs capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to avoid debt.
11. COVID-19 pandemic
The consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company''s business for the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, had been severe.

Keeping in mind the business scenario and considering the impact on cash flow, bills were not generated against most of the Private Licensees for the lockdown period amounting to '' 1,292.59 lakh upto September, 2020 and hence, not considered in the Financial Results. ITDC Board discussed that the grievances of Licences are genuine but it is also a fact that ITDC is a commercial organization and has been paying taxes, charges etc. despite lockdown without any exemption being granted to ITDC by any Statutory Organization.

9. Risk Management :
The companyâs activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk:
a. Credit Risk: Credit Risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. Primarily exposure to the credit risk is from trade receivables amounting to '' 12,520.08 lakhs (previous year '' 14,870.25 lakhs) and unbilled revenue amounting to '' 438.24 lakhs (previous year '' 363.23 lakhs) which are typically unsecured. Credit risk is being managed by continuously monitoring the outstanding dues from the customers.
Further, most of the clients of the company are Government or
Government Undertakings; hence credit risk is bare minimum. Company has impaired, as a prudent measure, the trade receivables towards expected credit loss as per company accounting policy to the extent of '' 5,856.02 lakhs (previous year '' 5,080.43 lakhs). Keeping in view the nature of business expected credit loss is provided as per the policy on impairment of financial assets.
No significant credit risk on cash and bank balances amounting to '' 2,117.53 lakhs (previous year '' 2,326.93 lakhs) is expected as company parks surplus funds with Schedule Banks having good credit adequacy ratio and least NPA as determined by RBI and guidelines of the company. Company has parked its owned funds in fixed deposits of '' 21,050.15 lakhs (previous year '' 23,790.80 lakhs) with Schedule banks with negligible credit risks.
The Company has also provided House Building Loan, Vehicle Loan and Computer Loan to the employees amounting to '' 2.88 lakhs (previous year '' 2.89 lakhs), these loans are secured and the Company does not envisage any risk from the same in nearby future.
The Company has granted interest bearing loans to its subsidiaries amounting to '' 712.57 lakh (previous year '' 800.87 lakh).
b. Liquidity risk: Company''s principal source of liquidity are "cash and bank balances" and the cash flow that is generated from the operations. The Company has no bank borrowings and is an unleveraged entity.
The Company has a working capital of '' 26,889.49 lakh (previous year
'' 30,956.84 lakh) including cash and bank balances of '' 2,117.53 lakhs (previous year '' 2,326.93 lakhs). Fund flow statement and investment of surplus funds is also reported in the audit committee meetings held from time to time.
Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its requirements and to discharge its
liabilities towards trade payables and other current liabilities as and when they fall due, accordingly no liquidity risk is being perceived by the Company.
c. Market Risk:
⢠Interest rate risk: The company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent of its investments in fixed deposits with banks. The company also invested in preference share capital of its subsidiary company Utkal Ashok Hotel Corporation limited (unit is nonoperative since 31.03.2004).
⢠Foreign currency risk: The Company has duty free shops at major sea ports in India. The foreign currency is being collected against the sale proceeds from customers at these shops. The duty free goods for the same are purchased centrally for these shops. The exchange rates between the rupee and foreign currencies have fluctuated substantially in recent years and may also fluctuate substantially in the near future. However the Company has a currency risk monitoring policy in place wherein the risk is managed by advanced planning for payment for purchases in foreign currency on due date by holding back the foreign currency sale proceeds in bank keeping in view the credit period/ payment date of purchases.
The above foreign currency exposure is unhedged as these are covered through foreign currency risk management policy.
d. Capital Management:
The Companyâs capital management objectives are : - to ensure the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern - to provide an adequate return to shareholders
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of balance sheet. Management assesses the Companyâs capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage. The Company manages the capital
structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to avoid debt.
The World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak as a pandemic on 11th March 2020, leading to series of measures by countries across the world to contain the spread of the virus. India responded by imposing a nationwide-lockdown on March 24, 2020. The process of lifting of lockdown in various states has since started in phases, effective June 1, 2020, guided by the decision of individual states. Permission for re-opening of Hotels has been given, w.e.f, August 21, 2020 by the State Government of Delhi.
During the period March 2020 to August 2020 there were no operational activity in hotel, flight & cargo operations, duty free shops, event management, hospitality institute etc., which affected business at our hotels and others operations across India.
During this Covid period, ITDC provided 1,800 food packets per day (approx.) to Delhi Administration, AIIMS and other hospitals under CSR activity amounting to '' 63.27 Lakhs. ITDC also provided accommodation facility to guests during the month of May 2020 and June 2020 under Vande Bharat Scheme as per the Government guidelines and generated revenue amounting to '' 18.70 Lakhs.
Contributing in the fight towards this pandemic, ITDC has provided support through our Hotel premises being used as quarantine facility at Hotel Kalinga Ashok since the inception of lockdown. Also, Hotel Samrat, New Delhi has also been offering 50 rooms for the purpose of quarantine facility.
During the major part of this period, hotel, flight & cargo operations, duty free shops, event management, hospitality institute were mandated to remain non-operational, which affected business at our hotels and other operations across India.
The Management''s priority in dealing with the exceptional challenges posed by COVID-19 has
been to ensure the safety of its guests and employees, support suppliers, keep the supply chain operational for essential supplies.
In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Management has considered the impact from a prolonged lock-down situation; travel restrictions being continued to be imposed by India and other countries even after lifting of the lockdown, guests postponing their discretionary spending, continued restrictions on the number of domestic and international flights, internal and external information available up to the date of approval of these financial statements including credit reports and economic forecasts.
The Management has also assessed the potential impact of Covid-19 on the carrying value of property, plant & equipment, intangible assets, investments, trade receivables, inventories, and other current assets appearing in the financial statements of the Company as on 31st March, 2021 and has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current indicators of future economic conditions, expects to recover the carrying amounts of these assets. The impact of COVID-19 may be different from that estimated on the date of approval of these financial statements and the Management will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.
With respect to business in financial year 2021-22, the start has been difficult due to the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in India. The impact on revenue from various business verticals could also come from a prolonged lock-down situation; travel restrictions being continued to be imposed by Government of India and other countries even after lifting of the lockdown and guests postponing their discretionary spending.
Based on enquiries received, assessments performed and analysis of market trends, the Management expects demand to gradually pick for Domestic leisure and business travel, social events within prescribed norms, and limited international travel once international airlines are allowed to commence operations.
11. Private Licencees of Hotel and Catering Units of ITDC, i.e., Hotel Ashok (New Delhi), Hotel Samrat (New Delhi) and Taj Restaurant (Agra) had made request for waiver of licence fees for the lockdown period.
Keeping in mind the business scenario and considering the impact on cash flow, bills were not generated against most of the Private Licensees amounting to '' 1,292.59 lakh upto September, 2020 and hence, not considered in the Financial Results.
12. Turnover of ITDC Unit - Hyderabad House (Catering Unit)
In case of ITDC Unit - Hyderabad House (Catering Unit), turnover was being shown to the extent of supervision charges received over and above the cost of material supplied and service rendered.

Regrouping have been made during the corresponding previous year. However, there will be no impact on the profitability of the Unit/ Company.
13. In case of Loans&Advances and Management Fees due to be received from Susbidiary Companies, company has reviewed its accounting practice and has accounted for the Interest and Management Fees for the period starting from April 1, 2016, i.e. date of transition to Ind AS Financial Statement upto March 31, 2020.

18. Pursuant to a decision of the Government of India, it was decided that the Ministry of Tourism will examine the proposal for Sale/ Lease of Hotel Properties of the Company including Properties of Subsidiary Companies. In the cases where Hotel properties are located on State Govt. Leased Land and the State is reluctant to extend the lease and allow it to be sub-leased to the private party, then the property may be offered to the State Govt. at its officially valued price. According to this decision the process of disinvestment is carried on as under:
Ministry of Tourism (MoT) communicated vide their letter dtd. June 14, 2017 the in-principle approval of the government for transferring the property of Hotel Janpath to the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and for compensating ITDC for loss of business opportunity with disputed liability to be sorted out. The ministry had proposed that âa tentative valuation of the business of ITDC has been calculated on the basis of Discounted Cash Flow assuming cash flows for 30 years on the basis of average net profit for 5 years and discount factor of 11% p.a. and a rough estimation was made for '' 5,772.00 Lakh (net profit depreciation). Value of land is not being considered.
Subsequently it was decided by the government to close the operations of Janpath Hotel, New Delhi and to handover the land & building of Janpath Hotel to L&DO, MoHUA (erstwhile MoUD). Accordingly, the Land & Building was technically handed over to L&DO, MoHUA on October 31, 2017.
The matter was also discussed inter alia in 26th & 27th Inter Ministerial Group (IMG) meetings as under: - In the 26th meeting of IMG dated 04.12.2017, it was deliberated that earlier the figure of '' 5,772.00 lakh was mentioned on the basis of calculation of NPV at a discounting factor of 11% on average profit before depreciation of last 5 years as per the audited annual accounts of 2011-12 to 2015-16 of Hotel Janpath for a period of 30 years without applying any growth rate. Therefore, IMG decided that compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of last 10 years i.e. from 2006-07 to 2015-16 of profit before depreciation may be applied on above said average profit of last 5 years before depreciation. IMG directed that ITDC may get the valuation done on this basis and obtain approval through circulation for the same.
In minutes of the 27th meeting of IMG held on 27-12-2017 it was recorded that âThe valuation of loss of business opportunity of Hotel Janpath was decided by the IMG in its meeting held on 04-12-2017. In this regard, DIPAM vide its letter dated 21-12-2017 has submitted that under the DCF methodology for calculation of NPV, Profit After Tax (PAT) is what is normally considered."
The Company requested the Ministry to convey the amount of compensation to be considered by ITDC in its Financial Statement. The working of the amount of compensation based on PBT as well as PAT was also communicated to MoT. The amount of compensation based on PAT was '' 14,981.00 lakh and on PBT was '' 19,303.00 lakh.
In response to the above letter, the Ministry conveyed that the amount of ''5,772.00 lakh was only an estimated figure and did not take into account the
liabilities which are yet to be firmed up. Further, the amount incurred towards VRS of employees due to closure of Janpath Hotel is to be kept under recoverables to be adjusted from the value when the same is finalised. The estimated compensation amount due to ITDC on account of loss of business opportunity in respect of Hotel Janpath, New Delhi, may therefore not be taken into account while finalising accounts of ITDC for the current financial year 201718 and may be included in the accounts for the financial year 2018-19.
The compensation for Loss of Business Opportunity was calculated on the basis of the IMG decision taken in its meeting dated 04.12.2017 and placed before the IMG in its meeting held on 4.2.2019.
âThe IMG observed that the valuation based upon compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of last 10 years i.e. from 2006-07 to 2015-16 of average profit (before depreciation) of last five years which comes to '' 193.03 crores is also on higher side. It was suggested to also have the option of calculating the valuation based upon compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of last 30 yearsâ profit before tax and if the financials of last 30 years are not available, information available for maximum period may be taken. Another option may be valuation based upon compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of last 30 yearsâ profit before tax but excluding depreciation and if the financials of last 30 years are not available, information available for maximum period may be taken. It was also directed by IMG that all options may be considered by the Committee constituted for computing the Loss of Business Opportunity.â
Fresh calculations have been undertaken in accordance with the decision of the IMG dated 4.2.2019 on the basis of financial data for 29 years (From FY 2015-16 to FY 1987-88). As per the same, the valuation based upon Profit before Tax excluding Depreciation works out to '' 155.48 crores approx. In case, valuation is undertaken on PBT basis, the compensation for Loss of Business Opportunity works out to '' 123.68 crores approx.
Further, meeting of the Valuation Committee was held on February 12, 2020 and Committee desired the consultant to make presentation on the valuation of '' 206.93 crore. Based on consultant''s presentation in next meeting, they were asked to give further valuation based on IMG decision dated February 4, 2019. Consultant submitted the valuation on March 2, 2020 which shall be put up to the Valuation Committee in the next meeting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meeting is yet to be conducted.
Since, the approval of amount of compensation due on account of loss of business opportunity is still awaited from MoT therefore, the VRS amount of '' 644.14 lakh has been kept under recoverable and nothing towards compensation for loss of business opportunity has been considered in the Financial Statements for the Financial Year 2020-21.

Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entityâs choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.
The company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.
4. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Ind AS 105 requires non-current assets (or disposal groups) that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are held for distribution to owners and operations that meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued and carried at lower of its carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell on the initial date of such identification. A first time adopter can:-
- Measure such assets or operations at the lower of carrying value and fair value less cost to sell at the date of transition to Ind AS in accordance with Ind AS 105, and
- Recognise directly in retained earning any difference between that amount and the carrying amount of those assets at the date of transition to Ind AS determined under the entityâs previous GAAP.
Accordingly, the company has elected to measure such assets or operations at the lower of carrying value and fair value less cost to sell, and recognize directly in retained earning any difference between those amounts at the date of transition to Ind AS.
C. Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile total comprehensive income for prior period. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
1. Proposed Dividend
Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the Board of Directors after the Balance Sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the Shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, liability for proposed dividend including dividend distribution tax of Rs, (1,548.45 lakh), as at 1st April, 2016 included under provision has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity has increased by an equivalent amount.
Under Ind AS, where the company collects consideration on account of another party, it recognizes revenue as the net amount retained on its own account for services rendered in its Air Ticketing Business and hence revenue as well as cost relating to consideration received on Others account has been reversed by Rs, (10,693.39 lakh) each.
Under Ind AS, where the company collects consideration on account of another party, it recognizes revenue as the net amount retained on its own account for services rendered. In case of Electricity Recovery from Licences, only the administrative charges or service charges are considered a part of Other Income (Non-operational) and the cost recovered is adjusted in the Electricity Charges (Cost).
There is no impact on the profit and loss statement or retained earnings.
The company recognized its revenue relating to sale of tour packages on the basis of certainty of collection of the amount. In the previous GAAP, revenue regarding the sale of service could be recognized on the basis of Percentage of completion or Completion Method. In Ind-AS, revenue regarding the sale of service can only be recognized on the basis of Percentage of Completion Method and hence revenue as well as cost relating to incomplete tours has been reversed byRs, (0.23 lakh) and Rs,0.18 lakh respectively as at 31st March, 2017.
3. Trade Receivable and Other Receivables
Consequent to the change in revenue recognition under Ind AS as stated above, the receivables from the Customers have also been reclassified from Trade receivables to other receivables under other financial assets. As a result of this change, the balance of trade receivables has decreased and other receivables have increased by Rs, 3704.56 lakh as at 31st March, 2017 (Rs, 2216.77 lakh as at 1st April, 2016).
4. Other Long Term Financial Assets / Liabilities (Amortized cost instruments)
Items like security deposits, retention money and other financial items of long term nature have been treated under the category of amortized cost. These instruments are measured at fair value and the difference between the carrying value and the discounted value (Fair Value) are treated as loss & gain for assets and liabilities respectively. Accordingly, net Reversal of Rs, 77.69 lakh as at 31st March, 2017 (Previous Year Rs, 46.42 lakh) is made with consequential impacts on the profit and loss.
All deposits with statutory authorities, utility departments and the like for which the cash flows cannot be predicted with certainty have been excluded. Further, deposits with parties since years and the details of which are not traceable have been excluded. The same has valued at their nominal value.
5. Capital Work-in-Progress
Previously, expenditure incurred on projects which are under process of completion or are not yet completed is recognized in the Balance Sheet under the head Capital Work-in-progress as âExpenses attributed to projects pending allocationâ. Further, the provision for impairment is also provided against such expenses, if the probability of completion of the said project is less. As per Ind AS, Capital work-in-progress should have âAllocable Expenditure attributable to projectsâ otherwise Un-allocable expenditure (if any) should be charged to the Profit & Loss. A net Reversal of Rs, Nil as at 31st March, 2017 (Previous Year Rs, (27.67 lakh) is made with impacts on profit & loss and retained earnings.
6. Loans given to Employees
Under the previous GAAP, loan to employees was measured at cost. Under the Ind AS, these loans are considered as debt instruments and falls under the category of amortized cost. Since there were loans given to employees from whom there was no probability of recovery (employees retired and no longer with ITDC Ltd.), therefore its fair value is considered as nil. The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of Rs,.35 Lakh as at 31st March, 2017 (Previous Year Rs,12.77 lakh) has been charged to Retained Earnings.
7. Other Comprehensive Income
Under Ind-AS, all items of income and expense recognized in the period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permit otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized on profit and loss but are shown in the Statement of profit or loss as âother comprehensive incomeâ represents re-measurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.
Actuarial gain/losses on defined benefit plans for employees were being recognized in Statement of profit or loss under previous GAAP. This is now being recognized in other comprehensive income. The net impact for year ending 31st March, 2017 is Rs, 80.87 lakh.
8. Prior-Period Items
As per Ind AS, the amount in the financial statements in respect of prior period adjustments are to be retrospectively restated as if a prior period error had never occurred and such event had occurred during the preceding period and accordingly presented in the financial statements. The net impact for year ending 31st March, 2017 is Rs, 252.89 lakh.
9. Deferred Tax
As per Ind AS, deferred tax has been recognized on the adjustments made on transition to Ind-AS. The impact of transition adjustments together with using balance sheet approach as per Ind-AS against profit and loss approach in the previous GAAP for computation of deferred tax has impacted the reserves by Rs, 33.23 lakh as at 31st March, 2017 (Rs, 84.47 lakh as at 31st March, 2016), with consequential impacts on the profit and loss for the subsequent periods.
10. Other Equity
Other equity has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

9. Risk Management:
The companyâs activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk:

To manage this, the company periodically assesses the financial reliability of Customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, analysis of historical bad debts and aging of account receivables. Most of our clients are Government Departments/ Ministries, which are not prone to credit risk. Credit risk arises from cash to cash equivalents, deposits with banks, credit to Customers including outstanding receivables.
The companyâs policy is to place cash and cash equivalents and short term deposits with reputable banks.
The company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before entering into a contract. There is no significant concentration of credit risk within the company.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the companyâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The company is investing short term surplus funds of ITDC from time to time with reputable banks. Fund flow statement and investment of surplus funds is reported in Audit Committee meetings held from time to time.
The company does not foresee any problem in discharging their liabilities towards trade payables and other current liabilities as and when they fall due.
c. Market Risk:
- Interest rate risk: The company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent of its investments in fixed deposits with banks. The company also invested in preference share capital of its subsidiary company Utkal Ashok Hotel Corporation limited (unit is no operative since 31.03.2004).
- Foreign currency risk: The Company operates duty free shops at various sea ports in India. The foreign currency is being collected against sale proceeds from Customers at these shops. The duty free goods are being purchased centrally for all the shops. The foreign exchange rates risk is being managed by advance planning for payment for purchases in foreign currency on due date by holding back the foreign currency sales proceeds in bank keeping in view the credit period/payment date of purchases.
The foreign currency collected from Hotel customer are being collected by foreign exchange agency on weekly/ periodically basis and being credited to our bank account.

Management assesses the Companyâs capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure while avoiding excessive leverage.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend paid to Shareholders, return capital to Shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to avoid debt.
10. Pursuant to a decision of the Government of India, it was decided that the Ministry of Tourism will examine the proposal for Sale/ Lease of Hotel Properties of the Company including Properties of Subsidiary Companies. In the cases where Hotel properties are located on State Govt Leased Land and the State is reluctant to extend the lease and allow it to be sub-leased to the private party, then the property may be offered to the State Govt at its officially valued price. According to this decision the process of disinvestment is carried on as under:
a. Hotel Bharatpur Ashok:
As per MoU signed on April 27, 2017 Hotel Bharatpur Ashok (Managed Property since owned by Government of Rajasthan) has been handed back to Government of Rajasthan on 30.04.2017 on âas is where isâ basis.

and liabilities having net book value of Rs, 16.23 lakh as on April 30, 2017 was agreed to be transferred without any financial consideration therefore a loss i.e. the net book value of Assets
& Liabilities of Rs, 16.23 lakh has been considered as an exceptional item in the Financial Statement. The same has been considered as a part of discontinued operations in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018.
b. Assam Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited and Madhya Pradesh Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited:
The Company has transferred its Non-Current Investments - Equity Shares of Subsidiary Companies - Assam Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited (51% Equity of AAHCL) ofRs, 51 lakh and Madhya Pradesh Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited (51% Equity of MPAHCL) of Rs, 81.60 lakh on June 29, 2017 to their respective State Government. The Investments have been transferred at a consideration of: AAHCL Rs, 214.00 lakh and MPAHCL Rs, 1,259.00 lakh. Also, the other dues recoverable by ITDC Ltd. have been duly settled by the respective subsidiary in full for AAHCL Rs, 300.63 lakh and for MPAHCLRs, 384.43 lakh.
c. Hotel Janpath:
Ministry of Tourism (MoT) communicated vide their letter dtd. June 14, 2017 the in-principle approval of the government for transferring the property of Hotel Janpath to the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and for compensating ITDC for loss of business opportunity with disputed liability to be sorted out.
The Ministry had proposed that âa tentative valuation of the business of ITDC has been calculated on the basis of Discounted Cash Flow assuming cash flows for 30 years on the basis of average net profit for 5 years and discount factor of 11% p.a. and a rough estimation was made for Rs, 5772.00 lakh (net profit depreciation). Value of land is not being considered.
Subsequently, it was decided by the government to close the operations of Janpath Hotel, New Delhi and to handover the land & building of Janpath Hotel to L&DO, MoHUA (erstwhile MoUD).Accordingly, the Land & Building was technically handed over to L&DO, MoHUA on 31-10-2017.
The matter was also discussed inter alia in 26th & 27th Inter Ministerial Group (IMG) meetings as under:
In the 26th meeting of IMG dated 04.12.2017, it was deliberated that earlier the figure of Rs, 5772.00 lakh was mentioned on the basis of calculation of NPV at a discounting factor of 11% on average profit before depreciation of last 5 years as per the audited annual accounts of 2011-12 to 2015-16 of Hotel Janpath for a period of 30 years without applying any growth rate. Therefore, IMG decided that compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of last 10 years i.e. from 2006-07 to 2015-16 of profit before depreciation may be applied on above said average profit of last 5 years before depreciation. IMG directed that ITDC may get the valuation done on this basis and obtain approval through circulation for the same.
In minutes of the 27th meeting of IMG held on 27-12-2017 it was recorded that âThe valuation of loss of business opportunity of Hotel Janpath was decided by the IMG in its meeting held on 04-12-2017. In this regard, DI PAM vide its letter dated 21-12-2017 has submitted that under the DCF methodology for calculation of NPV, Profit After Tax (PAT) is what is normally considered.â
The Company requested the Ministry to convey the amount of compensation to be considered by ITDC in its Financial Statement. The working of the amount of compensation based on PBT as well as PAT was also communicated to MoT. The amount of compensation based on PAT was Rs, 14981.00 lakh and on PBT was Rs,19303.00 lakh.
In response to the above letter, the Ministry conveyed that the amount of Rs, 5772.00 lakh was only an estimated figure and did not take into account the liabilities which are yet to be firmed up. Further, the amount incurred towards VRS of employees due to closure of Janpath Hotel is to be kept under recoverable to be adjusted from the value when the same is finalised. The estimated compensation amount due to ITDC on account of loss of business opportunity in respect of Hotel Janpath, New Delhi, may therefore not be taken into account while finalising accounts of ITDC for the current financial year 2017-18 and may be included in the accounts for the financial year 2018-19.
In view of above, the VRS amount of Rs, 585.74 lakh has been kept under recoverable and nothing towards compensation for loss of business opportunity has been considered in the Financial Statements.

The process of appointment of Transaction Advisor is under finalisation.
k. Pondicherry Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited:
In the previous year it was mentioned that transaction advisor was engaged for Pondicherry Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited (PAHCL), initially for exploring the possibility of valuation and transfer of ITDCâs 51% Equity holding in PAHCL to the Puducherry Government. The engagement of above said TA was short-closed because subsequently it was decided to explore the possibility of Long-term leasing, DBFOT, PPP etc. The process for fresh appointment of Transaction Advisor is under finalisation.
I Utkal Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited (UAHCL):
In case of Utkal Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited (UAHCL) the Letter of Intent (LOI)for long-term lease of the hotel property was issued to the bidder M/s Paulmech Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (PIPL) on January 19,2010 and was subsequently cancelled on December

PIPLfurther filed a Special Leave Petition before the Honâble Supreme Court of India challenging the High Court Judgement. On September 18, 2017, the Supreme Court has stayed the termination of LOI. The matter is pending in Supreme Court for further hearing.
In the process of disinvestment of various ITDC Subsidiary companies properties which is currently going on, the ITDC shareholding of three of the Subsidiary companies viz. Assam Ashok Hotel Corporation Ltd.; Madhya Pradesh Hotel Ashok Corporation Ltd.
and Donyi Polo Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited have been already transferred to the respective State Governments and the sales proceeds as worked out by the Transaction Advisor on the basis of valuation of available business opportunity etc. have been received by ITDC which is more than the amount originally invested by ITDC in respective subsidiary companies. Moreover, all outstanding trade receivables from these three Subsidiary Companies have also been fully cleared by them.
On the same analogy, the process of disinvestment / divestment of Utkal
Ashok Hotel Corporation Limited, Punjab Ashok Hotel Company Limited & Ranchi Ashok Bihar Hotel Corporation Limited is also being carried out and as ITDCâs equity / preference shares investment are considered good for recovery, no provision is considered necessary.

C.The Corporation had taken a property on rent from the Custodian of
Enemy Property in 1965. Subsequently the said property was released in
favour of present owner by the Custodian. The owner had filed a suit
for recovery of the possession of the said property. The Hon''ble High
Court decided the matter in favour of the owner and the Corporation was
directed to vacate the property. The Hon''ble high court also fixed the
rent @ Rs.30,000/- for the month of January 1980 only on lumpsum/adhoc
basis alongwith interest and also appointed a Local Commissioner to
determine the amount of rent for the period from 1.2.1980 till date of
handing over the possession of the property. Aggrieved by the
decision,a Special Leave Petition before the Hon''ble Supreme Court was
filed which was dismissed by the court & upheld the earlier judgement
of the Hon''ble High Court. Accordingly the premises was vacated &
possession handed over to the owner on 28.02.2007. The Local
Commissioner has rejected the claim of approx Rs. 300 crore of Shri
Anil Kumar Khanna & Ors on account of mesne profits and has calculated
the mesne profit by taking the base rent of Rs. 9.37 per sq ft per
month with the increase of 15 % every year and interest @ 12 % p.a. as
mentioned in the Report. The
D.M/s Airports Authority of India(AAI) and other private airport
operators had levied service tax on their billings for licence
fee/royalty for Duty Free Shops at various locations and Ashok Airport
Restaurant w.e.f. 10.9.2004. However the Circular dated 17.9.2004
issued by Government of India provides that the activity of renting,
leasing out part of airport/civil enclave premises does not amount to
rendering of services and the license fee/royalty payable in this
regard is not subject to service tax. Similar views on non levying of
service tax on such licence fee/royalty have also been opined by tax
consultants. The issue is also under consi deration by the Director
General of Central Excise Intelligence. Pending clarifications, no
provision has been made for the estimated liability, towards service
tax for the period from 10.9.2004 to 31.3.2008 for all the ten duty
free shops, which works out to Rs. 1779.49 lakh (Previous year Rs.1779.49
lakh).
E.The Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESI) authorities had
raised demands (including interest where applicable) totalling Rs. 758.60
lakh (Previous year Rs. 730.06 lakh) towards ESI dues in respect of four
hotel/catering units against which the corporation holds a deposit of Rs.
334.85 lakh (Previous year Rs. 327.20 lakh)(included in Loans and
Advances) with the said authorities (made up of amounts withdrawn by
the authorities after freezing bank accounts-Rs. 310.09 lakh and amount
deposited Rs.24.76 lakh). Against this the corporation holds a liability
of Rs. 215.43 lakh (previous year 193.41 lakh) towards ESI dues. No
provision has been made for the balance of Rs. 543.17 lakh(Previous year
Rs. 536.65 lakh) as the matter is sub-judice and pending finality in the
matter, the same has been included under Contingent Liabilities at Sl.
No. 1(a)(i) above.
F. The matter relating to determination of property tax was sub-judice
in the Hon''ble High Court of Delhi. During proceedings NDMC offered a
basis for determination of property tax for assessing the hotel
properties to which ITDC also agreed. Accordingly the Hon''ble High
Court vide its orders dated 19.10.2010 disposed off the said petition
by directing NDMC to reassess the property tax due from hotels and
hotels to fully cooperate in the matter.Accordingly The NDMC vide its
assessment orders dated 31.03.2013 made the fresh assessment up to
31.03.2009 and gave a basis of determination of property tax which was
agreed by ITDC.
In compliance to the assessment order, a provisional liability of Rs.
2050.66 lakh towards property tax due for the hotel for the years up to
2008-09 have been worked out and accounted for in the accounts in
earlier years. Further, hotel have adopted the same formula for

whereas NDMC is raising bills as per old basis i.e the basis it was
following before the cou rt orders.Since the basis of determination of
property pursuant to the court order has already been agreed by NDMC
and ITDC, ITDC has not accepted the demands and submitted
representations to NDMC Besides, NDMC has not made assessment for the
years 2009-10 to 2013-14. Therefore, pending the final resolution in
the matter, the difference of Rs. 1282.36 lakh between the property tax
demanded by NDMC ( Rs. 2041.45 lakh ) and property tax admitted by ITDC
( Rs. 759.09 lakh ) has been disclosed as "Contingent Liabilities"
