Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn.

On and from the Effective Date, the profits of Transferor Company, for the period beginning from the Appointed Date (i.e, April 1, 2020) belonged to and be the profits of Transferee Company and are included as such.

A. Accounting Treatment:

The Transferee Company has accounted for such merger in accordance with "Pooling of interest method" of accounting as laid down in Appendix C of IND AS-103 Business Combinations of entities under common control notified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as specified in the scheme, such that:

(f) Comparative financial information in the financial statements of the Transferee Company has been restated for the accounting impact of merger, as stated above, as if the merger had occurred from the beginning of the comparative period.

Fair value hierarchy

The following section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value through profit or loss. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial investments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Notes:

Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets that the entity can access at the measurement date. This represents mutual funds that have price quoted by the respective mutual fund houses and are valued using the closing Net asset value (NAV).

Level 2 hierarchy includes the fair value of financial instruments measured using quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.

Level 3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted compound instruments.

There are no transfers between any of these levels during the year. The Company''s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

c) Valuation techniques used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

- the use of quoted market prices or mutual fund houses quotes (NAV) for such instruments. This is included in Level 1.

- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis for which third party valuer is appointed. This is included in Level 3.

d) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost

The carrying amounts of loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial assets and trade payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature. The fair values for security deposits , Investment in preference shares & investment in debentures and borrowings are calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate, however the change in current rate does not have any significant impact on fair values as at the current period end.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

(e) Valuation processes

The Company uses third party valuers to perform the valuations of the unquoted equity shares, preference shares and debentures required for financial reporting purposes for Level 3 purposes other than investment in compulsorily redeemable preference shares and debentures (Debt instruments) which are done by Finance department of the company.

The main Level 3 inputs for these unlisted securities are derived and evaluated as below.

â¢ Discount rates are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.

â¢ Earnings growth factor for unlisted equity securities are estimated based on market information for similar types of companies to the extent available.

Significant estimates

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The group uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions used and the impact of changes to these assumptions see (c) and (e) above.

48. FINANCIAL RiSK AND CAPiTAL MANAGEMENT

A) Financial risk management framework

The Company''s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework. The board has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management policies. The Committee holds regular meetings and report to board on its activities.

The Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company''s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

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 is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers.

Trade and other receivables

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 90 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which Company operates and other macro-economic factors.

Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on its credit worthiness and historical dealings with the Company, market intelligence & goodwill. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

The Company has established an allowance for impairment that represents its expected credit losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables and 12-month expected credit loss for other receivables. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major parties. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are combined into homogenous categories and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data of actual losses. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low.

Cash and cash equivalents

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with banks is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by external credit rating agencies, accordingly the Company considers that the related credit risk is low. Impairment on these items are measured on the 12-month expected credit loss basis.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.

The Company''s treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining liquidity through investments in liquid funds and other committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the group''s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

(c). Market risk

Market risk is the risk arising from changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of the investments. Thus, the exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency.

(i) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of foreign currency transactions including recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (?), primarily in respect of US$, United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED), Saudi Riyal (SAR) and Bahraini Dinar (BHD). the Company ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level and is remain a net foreign exchange earner.

(ii) Interest rate risk

I nterest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Company''s borrowings and deposits/loans are all at fixed rate and are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

(iii) Price risk Exposure

The Company''s exposure to securities price risk arises from investments held in mutual funds and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from such investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Further these are all debt base securities for which the exposure is primarily on account of interest rate risk. Quotes (NAV) of these investments are available from the mutual fund houses.

Profit for the year would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on these securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

B) Capital management a) Risk management

The Company''s objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The capital of the Company consist of equity capital and accumulated profits.

The Company avails borrowings only for buying vehicles.

49. CUSTOMER CONTRACT BALANCES

The Company is following Ind AS 115 on Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach. The standard was applied retrospectively only to contracts that were not completed as at the date of initial application and comparative information was not restated in the statement of profit and loss. The adoption of the standard did not have any material impact on the recognition and measurement of revenue and related items in the financial statements/results. Revenue from sale of services is recognised over the period of time.

('' In million)
Particulars	March 31, 2022	March 31, 2021
Trade Receivable	79.06	60.50
Contract Liabilities	8,242.21	5,234.31

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 to 90 days and are conditioned to be recovered purely on passage of time. Hence contract assets have been considered to be Nil.

Contract Liabilities includes Deferred Sales revenue and advance received from Customer

Other disclosure as specified under IndAS 115 are not required to be made as a matter of practical expedient , since the performance obligation is part of contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Contract liabilities are primarily the deferred sales revenue against which amount has been received from customer but services are yet to be rendered on the reporting date either in full or in parts. Contract liabilities are recognized evenly over the subscription period, being performance obligation of the Company.

The amendments modified paragraph 17(e) of Ind AS 16 to clarify that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, shall not be recognised in the profit or loss but deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant, and equipment.

8. Employee Benefits

The Company has classified the various benefits provided to employees as under:

A. Defined Contribution Plans

The Company has a defined contribution plan in respect of provident fund. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations.

B. Other Long term benefits

Leave obligations:

The leave obligations cover the Companyâs liability for earned leave.

The amount of the provision for Rs.54.25 Mn (March 31, 2018 - Rs.45.04) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.

The estimates of future salary increases considered in the actuarial valuation takes into account factors like inflation, seniority, promotions and other relevant factors.

C. Defined Benefit Plans

Contribution to Gratuity Funds - Life Insurance Corporation of India, Group Gratuity Scheme

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contribution to recognised funds in India.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior year.

(D) Risk exposure

These subsidiaries/associates have incurred significant expenses for building the brand and market share which have added to the losses of these entities, thereby resulting in erosion of their net worth as at March 31, 2019. Based on the potential of the business model of these entities to generate profits, coupled with recent third party valuations, management is of the opinion that considering the nature of the industry and the stage of operations of these entities there is no diminution in carrying value of the investments as compared to their current net worth and therefore no provision, other than those already made, is required at this stage.

10. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company has issued 350,000 nos. equity shares (March 31, 2018; 350,000 & 200,000 nos. equity shares each fully paid up Rs.100/- & â10/- respectively) each fully paid up at Rs.10/- per share respectively to Info Edge Employees Stock Option Plan (ESOP) Trust, which have been duly listed in the respective Stock Exchanges, ranking pari passu with the existing equity shares of the Company.

16. Financial risk and Capital management

A) Financial risk management framework

The Companyâs board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Companyâs risk management framework. The board has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Companyâs risk management policies. The Committee holds regular meetings and report to board on its activities.

The Companyâs risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companyâs activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Companyâs risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

a) Credit risk

Trade and other receivables

The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate. A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 90 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which Company operates and other macro-economic factors.

Cash and cash equivalents

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation.

The Companyâs treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining liquidity through investments in liquid funds and other committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the groupâs liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The amount disclosed in the above table represent the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Market risk is the risk arising from changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Companyâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of the investments. Thus, the exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency.

(i) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of foreign currency transactions including recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (â), primarily in respect of US$, United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED), Saudi Riyal (SAR) and Bahraini Dinar (BHD). The Company ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level and is remain a net foreign exchange earner.

Sensitivity analysis

Any change with respect to strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against various currencies as at March 31, 2019 & March 31, 2018 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in respective currencies and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Companyâs borrowings and deposits/loans are all at fixed rate and are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

(iii) Price risk Exposure

The Companyâs exposure to securities price risk arises from investments held in mutual funds and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from such investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Further these are all debt base securities for which the exposure is primarily on account of interest rate risk. Quotes (NAV) of these investments are available from the mutual fund houses.

Profit for the year would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on these securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

B) Capital management

a) Risk management

The Companyâs objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The capital of the Company consist of equity capital and accumulated profits.

17. Customer contract balances

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 on Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach. The standard is applied retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed as at the date of initial application and comparative information is not restated in the statement of profit and loss. The adoption of the standard did not have any material impact on the recognition and measurement of revenue and related items in the financial statements/results.

Contract Liabilities includes Deferred Sales revenue and advance received from Customer

18. Standards/ammendments issued but not yet effective

A) New standard issued

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs on 30 March 2019 notified the new leasing standard, viz., Ind AS 116 Leases. Ind AS 116 is applicable for the financial year beginning on or after 1 April 2019 for all Ind AS companies. It replaces virtually all the existing leasing requirements under Ind AS 17 Leases.

The new standard will require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets. Lessees will use a single accounting model for all leases, with limited exemptions. Foreign currency leases will increase P&L volatility due to a restatement of foreign currency liability.

An entity has an option to adopt Ind AS 116 using either the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. An entity that elects the modified retrospective method would apply Ind AS 116 retrospectively to only the current period by recognising the cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 116 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other components of equity) at the date of initial application. Under the modified retrospective method, Ind AS 116 would be applied either to all contracts at the date of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed at this date. An entity would need to disclose how it applied the modified retrospective method.

The Company is in process to evaluate the impact of the new standard on financial statements

B) On March 30, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified certain amendments to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)

(i) Appendix C to Ind AS 12 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of Ind AS 12 and does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of Ind AS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following:

- Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately

- The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities

- How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates

- How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances

An entity has to determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments. The approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty should be followed. In determining the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty, an entity might consider, for example, (a) how it prepares its income tax filings and supports tax treatments; or

(b) how the entity expects the taxation authority to make its examination and resolve issues that might arise from that examination.

The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019, but certain transition reliefs are available. The Company will apply the interpretation from its effective date.In addition, the Company may need to establish processes and procedures to obtain information that is necessary to apply the Interpretation on a timely basis.

(ii) Amendments to Ind AS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The amendments to Ind AS 19 address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during a reporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to:

- Determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event.

- Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using: the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasure that net defined benefit liability (asset).

The amendments also clarify that an entity first determines any past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, without considering the effect of the asset ceiling. This amount is recognised in profit or loss.

An entity then determines the effect of the asset ceiling after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement. Any change in that effect, excluding amounts included in the net interest, is recognised in other comprehensive income.

The amendments apply to plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after 1 April 2019. These amendments will apply only to any future plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements of the Company.

Based on the potential of the business model of these entities to generate profits, coupled with recent third party valuations, management is of the opinion that considering the nature of the industry and the stage of operations of these entities there is no diminution in carrying value of the investments as compared to their current net worth and therefore no provision, other than those already made, is required at this stage.

41. Financial risk and Capital management

A) Financial risk management framework

a) Credit risk

Trade and other receivables

Cash and cash equivalents

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation.

The bank overdraft facilities may be drawn at any time.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The amount disclosed in the above table represent the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(i) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of foreign currency transactions including recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (''), primarily in respect of US$, United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED), Saudi Riyal (SAR) and Bahraini Dinar (BHD). the Company ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level and is remain a net foreign exchange earner.

Â¦ Amount is below rounding on norm adopted by the Company.

Sensitivity analysis

Any change with respect to strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against various currencies as at March 31, 2018 & March 31, 2017 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in respective currencies and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Companyâs borrowings and deposits/loans are all at fixed rate and are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

(iii) Price risk Exposure

Profit for the year would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on these securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

B) Capital management a) Risk management

42. Standards issued but not yet effective

On 28 March , 2018 the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rule 2018, amending the following standards :

i) Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ind AS 115 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018. The Company will adopt the new standard on the required effective date using the modified retrospective method. The Company has established an implementation team to implement Ind AS 115 related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and it continues to evaluate the changes to accounting system and processes, and additional disclosure requirements that may be necessary. A reliable estimate of the quantitative impact of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements will only be possible once the implementation project has been completed

ii) Appendix B to IndAS 21, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The Appendix clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. Entity may apply the Appendix requirements on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply these requirements prospectively to all the assets, expenses and income in its scope that are initially recognized on or after :

(i) The beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix, or

(ii) The beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix.

The Appendix is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April, 2018.

The Company has evaluated the effect of this on the financial statements and the impact is not material.

6. Pursuant to notification no. 244 dated 30.03.2017, issued by Ministry of Corporate affairs, details of the specified bank notes held & transacted during the period November 08, 2016 to December 30, 2016 as provided in the table below :-

7. The Company has made long term strategic investments in certain subsidiaries/associate companies {refer Note 4(a)}, which are in their initial/developing stage of operation and would generate growth and returns over a period of time. These subsidiaries/associates have incurred significant expenses for building the brand and market share which have added to the losses of these entities, thereby resulting in erosion of their net worth as at March 31, 2017. Based on the potential of the business model of these entities to generate profits, coupled with recent third party valuations, management is of the opinion that considering the nature of the industry and the stage of operations of these entities there is no diminution in carrying value of the investments as compared to their current net worth and therefore no provision, other than those already made, is required at this stage.

8. During the year, the Company has issued 300,000 (March 31, 2016; 500,000 & 2,00,000 each fully paid up at Rs.10/- & Rs.100/ respectively) each fully paid up at Rs.10/- per share respectively to Info Edge Employees Stock Option Plan (ESOP) Trust, which have been duly listed in the respective Stock Exchanges, ranking pari passu with the existing equity shares of the Company. The ESOP trust has in turn issued 377,021 and 624,453 shares fully paid up to the employees during the year ended March 31, 2017 & March 31, 2016 respectively.

9. During the year ended March 31, 2015 , the Company had issued 10,135,135 equity shares of Rs.10/- each fully paid up at Rs.740/- per share (including securities premium of Rs.730/- per share) to qualified institutional buyers on September 12, 2014 pursuant to Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) document, dated September 10th, 2014, as per provisions of section 42 of Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 14 of the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules 2014, and Chapter VIII of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009 which have been listed in the respective Stock Exchanges on September 16, 2014.

Fair value hierarchy

The following section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value through profit or loss.To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial investments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Notes:

There are no transfers between any of these levels during the year. The Companyâs policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

c) Valuation techniques used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

- the use of quoted market prices or mutual fund houses quotes (NAV) for such instruments. This is included in Level 1.

- the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis for which third party valuer is appointed. This is included in Level 3.

d) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

The main Level 3 inputs for these unlisted securities are derived and evaluated as below.

- Discount rates are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.

- Earnings growth factor for unlisted equity securities are estimated based on market information for similar types of companies to the extent available.

A) Financial risk management framework

a) Credit risk

Trade and other receivables

Cash and cash equivalents

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation.

The Companyâs treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining liquidity through investments in liquid funds and other committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the groupâs liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

(c) Market risk

(i) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of foreign currency transactions including recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (Rs.), primarily in respect of US$, United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED), Saudi Riyal (SAR) and Bahraini Dinar (BHD). the Company ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level and is remain a net foreign exchange earner.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The exposure of the Companyâs financials assets/liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

14. First time adoption of Ind AS Transition to Ind AS

These are the Companyâs first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.

The accounting policies set out in Note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at April 01, 2015 (the Companyâs date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Companyâs financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.

Exemptions and exceptions availed

Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

1 Ind AS optional exemptions

a) Business Combination

Ind AS 101 provides the option to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date. The Company elected to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively to business combinations occurring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated.

b) Deemed Cost

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets and investment property covered by Ind AS 40 Investment Properties.

Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property at their previous GAAP carrying value.

c) Share-based payment transactions

Ind AS 101 provides the option to apply Ind AS 102 only on ESOP that are unvested on the transition date.

Accordingly, the Company has elected to calculate ESOP cost only on unvested options as on the transition date.

d) Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

IND AS 101 provides the option to the first-time adopter to account for its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates at either cost determined in accordance with IND AS 27 or in accordance with IND AS 109. The Company has elected to measure such investments at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27.

2 Ind AS mandatory exemptions

a) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities

Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entityâs choice, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognised 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.

b) Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets (investment in debt instruments) on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.

c) Estimates

An entityâs estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.

Ind AS estimates as at April 01, 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:

- Investment in equity instruments carried at Fair value through profit or loss or Fair value through other comprehensive income;

- Investment in debt instruments carried at Fair value through profit or loss; and

- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.

3 Reconciliation between previous GAAP and Ind AS

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

REFERENCE NOTE 1. Security Deposits

Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of the lease term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be recognised at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognised as prepaid rent. Consequent to this change, the amount of security deposits decreased by Rs.48.43 Mn as at March 31, 2016 (April 01, 2015 -Rs.39.21 Mn). Total equity decreased by Rs.3.61 Mn as on April 01, 2015. Total equity decreased by Rs.1.39 Mn as on March 31, 2016. The prepaid rent increased by Rs.43.42 Mn as at March 31, 2016 (April 01, 2015 - Rs.35.60 Mn). The profit for the year and total equity as at March 31, 2016 decreased by Rs.1.39 Mn due to amortisation of the prepaid rent of Rs.7.34 Mn which is partially off-set by the notional interest income of Rs.5.94 Mn recognised on security deposits.

2. Trade Receivables

As per Ind AS 109, the Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowance for doubtful debts. As a result, the allowance for doubtful debts decreased by Rs.3.26 Mn as at March 31, 2016 (April 01, 2015 - Rs.3.97 Mn ). Consequently, the total equity as at March 31, 2016 increased by Rs.3.26 Mn (April 01, 2015 - Rs.3.97 Mn) and profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased by Rs.0.71

3. 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 recognised as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend and related liability of Dividend Distribution tax of Rs.289.66 Mn (i.e. Rs.240.43 Mn & Rs.49.23 Mn, respectively) as at April 01, 2015 included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.

4. Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 decreased by Rs.13.22 Mn. There is no impact on the total equity as at March 31, 2016.

5. Employee stock option expense

Under the previous GAAP, the cost of equity-settled employee share-based plan were recognised using the intrinsic value method. Under Ind AS, the cost of equity settled share-based plan is recognised based on the fair value of the options as at the grant date. Consequently, the amount recognised in share option outstanding account increased by Rs.257.85 Mn as at March 31, 2016 (April 01, 2015- Rs.95.48 Mn). The profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 decreased by Rs.162.37. There is no impact on total equity.

6. Revenue and Deferred revenue

As par Ind AS-18, certain items of non-refundable fees, received upfront, are now being recognised as revenue over the tenure of contracts as it better reflects the substance of the transaction, which were earlier recognised upfront, based on performance of specific acts. Accordingly the Company has deferred the income from such contracts outstanding as at the date of transition and for new contracts entered during the financial year 2015-16. Consequently, the amount recognised in Deferred sales revenue increased by Rs.750.56 Mn as at March 31, 2016 (April 01, 2015- Rs.684.91 Mn) . The profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 decreased by Rs.65.64 Mn. Apart from above the other adjustment under âeffects of transition to Ind ASâ is on account of sales on principal to principal basis considering gross amounts with fee/expenses recorded under Administration and other expenses. Consequently the amount recognised in amount recognised in Revenue increased by Rs.6.95 mn & amount recognised in Administration and other expenses decreased by Rs.6.95 mn. No impact on profit for the year ended March 31, 2016.

7. Valuation of Investments

Under the previous GAAP, investments in equity shares/preference shares of subsidiaries, Joint ventures & associates and investment in mutual funds were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and realisability. Longterm investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments, other than investments in equity instruments, are required to be measured at fair value/amortised cost. Investment in equity instruments have been carried at cost in accordance with Ind AS-27. The resulting fair value changes/amortisation of these investments have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ended March 31, 2016. This decreased the retained earnings by Rs.62.03 Mn as at March 31, 2016 (April 01, 2015 - Rs.513.38 mn).

8. Consolidation of Info edge Employee Stock Option Plan Trust

Under IND AS, the ESOP trust has been treated as an extension of the Company and accordingly shares held by ESOP Trust are treated as treasury shares. Consequently, all the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the trust area accounted for as assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Company, other than dividend income and profit / loss on issue of shares to the employees which are directly adjusted in the Retained earnings. This increased/(decreased) the retained earnings by Rs.48.12 Mn as at March 31, 2016 [April 01, 2015 - ( Rs.130.30 Mn)]

9. Deferred Tax

Deferred tax have been recognised on the adjustments made on transition to Ind AS. This resulted increase in deferred tax assets by Rs.110.57 Mn as at March 31, 2016 [April 01, 2015 - Rs.322.28 Mn].

10. Retained earnings

Retained earnings as at April 1, 2015 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments. This resulted increase in deferred tax assets by Rs.309.47 Mn for the year ending March 31, 2016 and for the year ending April 01, 2015 - Rs.570.87 Mn.

11. Other comprehensive income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognised in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognised in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as âother comprehensive incomeâ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP. In March 31, 2016, Other comprehensive income booked for remeasurements of defined benefit plans (i.e. for Gratuity) was Rs.13.23 Mn.

12. Investment property

Under IND AS, the land (including expenses related to developmental activities) have been considered as Investment property, since the same is being held for a currently undetermined future use. This resulted reclassification of Property, Plant and Equipment by (Rs.179.91 Mn) & Capital work in progress by (Rs.94.88 Mn) into Investment Property by Rs.274.78 Mn.

These amounts are not available for use by the company and will be credited to Investor Education & Protection Fund as and when due.

8. The company has made long term strategic investments in certain subsidiaries/associate companies, which are in their initial/developing stage of operation and would generate growth and returns over a period of time. These subsidiaries/associates have incurred significant expenses for building the brand and market share which have added to the losses of these entities, thereby resulting in erosion of their net worth as at March 31, 2015. Based on the potential of the business model of these entities to generate profits, coupled with recent third party valuations, management is of the opinion that considering the nature of the industry and the stage of operations of these entities there is no diminution in carrying value of the investments as compared to their current net worth and therefore no provision is required at this stage.

9. During the year

A) the Company had issued 600,000 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each fully paid up at Rs. 250/- per share (including securities premium of Rs. 240/- per share) to the Info Edge Employees Stock Option Plan Trust on June 02, 2014 which have been listed in the respective Stock Exchanges on June 11, 2014.

Expenses incurred in relation to QIP amounting to Rs. 155.65 Mn have been adjusted from Securities Premium Account .The utilisation out of such net amount at Rs. 7344.35 Mn till March 31, 2015 is given below . The balance amount of QIP proceeds remains invested in Mutual Funds (Debt) & Term Deposits with banks.

Utilisation of funds upto March 31,2015 : Amount in Rs. Mn

1. Working capital and general corporate purposes (99acres) 53.44

Balance Unutilised funds as on March 31, 2015 7290.91

C) . the Company has issued 300,000 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each fully paid up at Rs. 10/- per share to the Info Edge Employees Stock Option Plan Trust on November 12, 2014 which have been listed in the respective Stock Exchanges on November 24, 2014, ranking pari passu with the existing equity shares of the Company.

The issuance is on arm''s length basis which has been concluded taking into consideration the objective of ESOP trust to not earn any profit or incur any loss on account of shares issued to employees by ESOP Trust.

10. A) An advance of Rs. 55.18 Mn , was given to a party in earlier years who was appointed as the consultant/contractor for a project to construct an office building on a Company''s leased land. On the basis of the current and future business plans of the Company, it is unlikely that the Company will require construction of this office building in the near future. Considering change in business plans and the low recovery of this advance from the party, the Company has deemed it appropriate to provide for the remaining advance of Rs. 55.18 Mn , which is shown as an exceptional item in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2015.

B) During the year the Company has transferred one half of its shareholding (5,975 equity and 2,672 compulsorily convertible preference shares ) in eTechaces Marketing & Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

The transfer of shareholding in EMCPL has been made by the Company to MTL taking a holistic view of the transaction. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved the transaction based on the business rationale for this transaction, which when considered in its entirety, including planned strategic actions of the management, provides a sound basis to conclude that the transaction is not prejudicial to the interest of the Company or its shareholders and demonstrates the intention of the Company to transact at arm''s length with its wholly owned subsidiary.

C) The exceptional item for the year ended March 31, 2014 represents provision for diminution in the carrying value of investment of Rs. 26.01 Mn in Nogle Technologies Pvt Ltd. (represented by investments in equity shares of Rs. 0.01 Mn and Preference shares of Rs. 26.00 Mn)

Based on the potential of the business model of these entities to generate profits, coupled with recent third party valuations, management is of the opinion that considering the nature of the industry and the stage of operations of these entities the diminution in carrying value of the investments as compared to their current net worth, is considered to be temporary in nature and therefore no provision is required at this stage (other than the investments referred in Note 40 above).
