(a) Change in accounting policy
(i) Depreciation on fixed assets
Till the year ended 31st March, 2014, schedule XIV to the Companies
Act, 1956, prescribed requirements concerning depreciation of fixed
assets. From the current year, Schedule XIV has been replaced by
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The applicability of Schedule
II has resulted in the following changes related to depreciation of
fixed assets. Unless stated otherwise, the impact mentioned for the
current year is likely to hold good for future years also.
(ii) Useful lives/depreciation rates
Till the year ended 31 March 2014, depreciation rates prescribed under
Schedule XlV were treated as minimum rates and the company was not
allowed to charge depreciation at lower rates even if such lower rates
were justified by the estimated useful life of the asset. Schedule II
to the Companies Act 2013 prescribes useful lives for fixed assets
which, in many cases, are different from lives prescribed under the
erstwhile Schedule XlV. However, Schedule II allows companies to use
higher/ lower useful lives and residual values if such useful lives and
residual values can be technically supported and justification for
difference is disclosed in the financial statements.
Considering the applicability of Schedule II, the management has
re-estimated useful lives and residual values of all its fixed assets.
The management believes that depreciation rates currently used fairly
reflect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of fixed
assets, though these rates in certain cases are different from lives
prescribed under Schedule II. Hence, this change in accounting policy
did not have any material impact on financial statements of the
company.
(b) Use of estimates
The Preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities in future periods.
(c) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase
price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in
arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to
its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the
existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day
repair and maintenance expenditure, and cost of replacing parts, are
charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which
such expenses are incurred.
(d) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets
Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis
using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives under section 123
of the Companies Act, 2013
(e) Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Income-tax Act,1961 enacted in India and tax laws
prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the company
operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized in equity and in the
statement of profit & loss.
(f) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly
paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the
extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a
fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is
adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights
issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares)
that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
(g) Segment Reporting
The company is engaged primarily in the business of loan financing and
accordingly there are no separate reportable segments as per Accounting
Standard 17 dealing with Segment Reporting.
(h) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. Further, in accordance with the guidelines issued by
The Reserve Bank of India for Non-Banking Financial Companies, income
on business assets classified as Non-performing Assets, is recognised
on receipt basis.
Unrealized interest recognized as income in the previous period is
reversed in the month in which the loan is classified as Non-performing.
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before
revenue is recognized:
Income from Loans:
Interest Income from loan transactions is accounted for by applying the
interest rate implicit in such contracts
(i) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the company has a present obligation as
a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Where the company
expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under
an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate
asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense
relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and
loss net of any reimbursement.
(j) Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not
recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
financial statements.
(k) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
(l) Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined
contribution scheme. The company has no obligation, other than the
contribution payable to the provident fund. The company recognizes
contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure,
when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution
payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet
date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the
scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution
already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution
due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is
recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre payment will lead to,
for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
(m) Impairment
The carrying value of assets/cash generating units at each balance
sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows expected to arise from
the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its
useful life to their present value based on an appropriate discount
factor.
The company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and
forecast calculations which are prepared separately for each of the
company's cash-generating units to which the individual assets are
allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally
covering a period of five years. For longer periods, a long term growth
rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the
fifth year.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on
inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except
for previously revalued tangible fixed assets, where the revaluation
was taken to revaluation reserve. In this case, the impairment is also
recognized in the revaluation reserve up to the amount of any previous
revaluation.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer
exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the company
estimates the asset's or cash-generating unit's recoverable amount. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not
exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as
a revaluation increase.
