a. The Company''s pending litigations comprise claims against the Company and proceedings pending with Tax / Statutory/ Government Authorities. After review of all its pending litigations and proceedings, the Company has made adequate provisions, wherever required and disclosed the contingent liabilities, wherever applicable, in its financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a material impact on its financial position. Future cash outflows in respect of the above are determinable only on receipt of judgments/ decisions pending with various forums/ authorities.

b. The Company had received demand orders from Service Tax Department at various work centres on account of Service Tax on Royalty, appeals against such orders have been filed before Tribunal. The Company had also obtained legal opinion as per which the Service Tax/GST on Royalty is not applicable. Meanwhile, the Company also received demand order dated January 1, 2019 on account of GST on Royalty in the State of Rajasthan against which the Company filed writ (4919/2019) before Hon''ble High Court of Rajasthan. The Hon''ble High Court of Rajasthan heard the matter on April 3, 2019 and issued notice to Department with a direction that no coercive action shall be taken against the Company for recovery till next date of hearing on April 16, 2019 deferred to May 9, 2019 and further deferred to July 16, 2019. The Company also filed writ of mandamus before Hon''ble High Court of Madras seeking stay on the levy of GST on royalty. The Hon''ble High Court of Madras heard the matter on April 3, 2019 and the Department has been allowed to file counter submission and to finalize the representation (under-protest letter) given by Company to the Department. The total estimated amount (including penalty and interest up to March 31, 2019) works out towards Service Tax is Rs.38,616.33 million and GST is Rs.37,956.77 million. Since the Company is contesting the demand, it has been considered as contingent liability. Further, as an abundant caution, the Company has deposited Service Tax and GST along-with interest under-protest amounting to Rs.13,725.72 million and Rs.28,065.77 million respectively.

c. The Company, with 40% Participating Interest (PI), is a Joint Operator in Panna-Mukta and Mid and South Tapti Fields alongwith Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and BG Exploration and Production India Limited (BGEPIL) each having 30% PI, (all three together referred to as "Contractors") signed two Production sharing Contracts (PSCs) with Government of India (Union of India) on December 22, 1994 for a period of 25 years. In December 2010, RIL & BGEPIL (JV Partners) invoked an international arbitration proceeding against the Union of India in respect of certain disputes, differences and claims arising out of and in connection with both the PSCs pursuant to the provisions of Article 33 of the PSCs and UNCITRAL Rules, 1976. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG), vide their letter dated July 4, 2011, had directed the Company not to participate in the arbitration initiated by the JV Partners. MoP&NG has also stated that in case of an arbitral award, the same will be applicable to the Company also as a constituent of the contractor for both the PSCs .

Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), vide letters dated May 25, 2017 had informed the Company that on October 12, 2016, a Final Partial Award (FPA) was pronounced by the Tribunal in the said arbitrations. However, details of proceedings of the FPA are not available with the Company. DGH, vide their letter dated May 25, 2017 and June 04, 2018, marked to the Contractors, had directed the payment of differential Government of India share of Profit Petroleum and Royalty alleged to be payable by Contractors pursuant to Governments interpretation of the FPA (40% share of the Company amounting to US$ 1,624.05 million, including interest upto November 30, 2016) equivalent to Rs.112,400.50 million @ Rs.69.21 (closing rate as on March 31, 2019). In response to the letters of DGH, the JV partners (with a copy marked to all Joint Venture Partners) had stated that demand of DGH was premature as the FPA did not make any money award in favour of Government of India, since quantification of liabilities were to be determined during the final proceedings of the arbitration. Further the award had also been challenged before the English Commercial Court (London High Court). Based on the above facts, the Company had also responded to the letters of DGH stating that pending the finality of the order, the amount due and payable by the Company was not quantifiable. In the view of the Company, any changes approved, if any, for increase in the Cost Recovery Limit (CRL) by the Management Committee (MC) as per the term of the PSCs the liability to DGH would potentially reduce.

The English Court has delivered its final verdict on May 2, 2018 following which the Arbitral Tribunal reconsidered some of its earlier findings from the 2016 FPA (Revised Award). The Government of India, BGEPIL and RIL have challenged parts of the Revised Award.

In January 2018, the Company along with the JV partners has filed an application with MC for increase in CRL in terms of the PSCs. The application has been rejected by MC. Pursuant to the rejection, the JV partners have filed a claim with Arbitral Tribunal.

DGH vide letter dated January 14, 2019 has advised to the contractors to re-cast the accounts for Panna-Mukta and Mid and South Tapti Fields for the year 2017-18. Pending finalization of the decision of the Arbitral Tribunal, the JV partners and the Company have indicated in their letters to DGH that the final recasting of the accounts is premature and the issues raised by DGH may be kept in abeyance.

Pending finality by Arbitration Tribunal on various issues raised above, re-casting of the financial statements and final quantification of liabilities, no provision has been accounted in the financial statements. The demand raised by DGH, amounting to US$ 1,624.05 million equivalent to Rs.112,400.50 million has been considered as contingent liability.

48.1.2 A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. During the normal course of business, several unresolved claims are currently outstanding. The inflow of economic benefits, in respect of such claims cannot be measured due to uncertainties that surround the related events and circumstances.

# MMTOE denotes "Million Metric Tonne Oil Equivalent" and for calculating Oil equivalent of Gas, 1000 M3 of Gas has been taken to be equal to 1 MT of Crude Oil.

* The changes shown above are due to migration from classification of Reserves under SPE-1997 guidelines to Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS) during the financial year. As a result of the change, there is increase in depletion and impairment expenditure by Rs.5,909.70 million and Rs.1,781.43 million respectively during the year. The amount of the effect in the future years is not disclosed because estimating it is impracticable.

Variations in totals, if any, are due to internal summations and rounding off.

50.3 In Discovered Small Field (DSF) Bid Round - II (2018), 12 out of 17 contract areas falling in the Company''s acreages were awarded to other parties and 5 contract areas were awarded to the Company. Handing over process is currently underway. After completion of handing over, Reserves estimates pertaining to 12 contract areas are to be removed from the Company''s reserves. Out of these twelve contract areas awarded to third parties, entire reserve estimates of eight contract blocks having 0.19 MMT of contingent Resources (0.007 MMT in Proved Developed Reserves & 0.18 MM in Proved Reserves category) are likely to be removed from the Company''s reserves. For the remaining four contract areas there will be partial deletion / deletion from extension of pay sands of adjoining fields which is being worked out.

12.1 Loans to employees include an amount of Rs,0.70 million (As at March 31, 2017 '0.72 million) outstanding from Key Managerial Personnel.

The above amount has been deposited with banks under section 33ABA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and can be withdrawn only for the purposes specified in the Scheme i.e. towards removal of equipment's and installations in a manner agreed with Central Government pursuant to an abandonment plan to prevent hazards to life, property, environment etc. This amount is considered as restricted cash and hence not considered as ‘Cash and cash equivalents'.

14.1    During the financial year 2010-11, the Oil Marketing Companies, nominees ofthe GoI recovered USD 32.07 million (equivalent to '2,081.98 million) ONGC's share as per directives of GoI in respect of Joint Operation - Panna Mukta and Tapti. The recovery is towards certain observations raised by auditors appointed by the Director General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) under Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the period 2002-03 to 2005-06 in respect of cost and profit petroleum share payable to GoI. BGEPIL along with RIL ("Claimants”) have served a notice of arbitration on the GoI in respect of dispute, differences and claims arisen in connection with the terms of Panna, Mukta and Tapti PSCs. Since the Company is not a party to the arbitration proceedings, it had requested MoP&NG that in case of an arbitral award the same be made applicable to ONGC also, as a constituent of contractor for both the PSCs. Subsequently, vide letter dated July 4, 2011 MoP&NG has advised ONGC not to participate in the arbitration initiated by RIL and BGEPIL under Panna Mukta and Tapti PSCs. MoP&NG has also stated that in case of an arbitral award, the same will be applicable to ONGC also as a constituent of the contractor for both the PSCs. A Final Partial Award (FPA) was pronounced by the Tribunal in the arbitration matter between RIL, BGEPIL and Union of India.

RIL and BGEPIL the JO partners have challenged the FPA before the English Commercial Court. Pending final quantification of liabilities by the Arbitration Tribunal and decision of English Commercial Court, the same has been shown as Receivable from GoI under ‘Advance Recoverable in Cash. (Figures in ' are restated).

14.2    In Ravva Joint Operation, the demand towards additional profit petroleum raised by Government of India (GoI), due to differences in interpretation of the provisions of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in respect of computation of Post Tax Rate of Return (PTRR), based on the decision of the Malaysian High Court setting aside an earlier arbitral tribunal award in favor of operator, was disputed by the operator M/s Vedanta Ltd (erstwhile M/s Cairn India Ltd). The Company is not a party to the dispute but has agreed to abide by the decision applicable to the operator. The Company is carrying an amount of Rs,10,896.48 million (equivalent to USD 167.84 million) after adjustments for interest and exchange rate fluctuations which has been recovered by GoI, this includes interest amounting to USD 54.88 million (Rs,3,562.81 million). The Company has made impairment provision towards this recovery made by the GoI.

In subsequent legal proceedings, the Appellate Authority of the Honorable Malaysian High Court of Kuala Lumpur had set aside the decision of the Malaysian High Court and the earlier decision of arbitral tribunal in favour of operator was restored, against which the GoI has preferred an appeal before the Federal Court of Malaysia. The Federal Court of Malaysia, vide its order dated October 11, 2011, has dismissed the said appeal of the GoI.

The Company has taken up the matter regarding refund of the recoveries made in view of the favorable judgment of the Federal Court of Malaysia with MoP&NG. However, according to a communication dated January 13, 2012, MoP&NG expressed the view that ONGC's proposal would be examined when the issue of ONGC carry under Ravva PSC is decided in its entirety by the Government along with other partners.

19.1    The deposits maintained by the Company with banks comprise time deposit, which can be withdrawn by the Company at any point without prior notice or penalty on the principal.

19.2    Amount deposited in unclaimed dividend account is earmarked for payment of dividend and cannot be used for any other purpose. No amount is due for deposit in Investor Education and Protection Fund.

19.3    Matter of Dispute on Delivery Point of Panna-Mukta gas between Government of India and PMT JO Partners arose due to differing interpretation of relevant PSC clauses. According to the JO Partners, Delivery Point for Panna-Mukta gas is at Offshore, however, MoP&NG and GAIL maintained that the delivery point is onshore at Hazira. The gas produced from Panna-Mukta fields was transported through Company's pipelines. Owing to the delivery point dispute neither the seller (PMT JO) nor the buyer of gas (GAIL) was paying any compensation to ONGC for usage of its pipeline for gas transportation.

Hon'ble Gujarat High Court decided that the Panna Mukta oil fields from where the movement of goods is occasioned fall within the customs frontiers of India. Consequently, the sale of goods cannot be said to have taken place in the course of import of goods into the territory of India. The state Government of Gujarat has filed a petition with the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India against the decision of Hon'ble Gujarat High Court.

Since the said matter of determination of delivery point is pending with the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, the amount is maintained in the escrow accounts by the JO Partners.

42.13 Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate and expected salary increase. The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Sensitivity due to mortality & withdrawals are not material & hence impact of change not calculated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the balance sheet.

These transactions are insignificant individually and collectively and hence not disclosed.

45. Financial instruments Disclosure

45.1    Capital Management

The Company's objective when managing capital is to:

-    Safeguard its ability to continue as going concern so that the Company is able to provide maximum return to stakeholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and

-    Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Company maintains its financial framework to support the pursuit of value growth for shareholders, while ensuring a secure financial base. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The capital structure of the Company consists of total equity (Note no. 20 & 21). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company's financial management committee reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the committee considers the cost of capital, risks associated with each class of capital requirements and maintenance of adequate liquidity.

45.1.1    Gearing Ratio

The Company has outstanding short term debt of Rs,255,922.08 million as at the end of reporting period (previous year nil). Accordingly, the gearing ratio is worked out as followed:

45.3    Financial risk management objectives

While ensuring liquidity is sufficient to meet Company's operational requirements, the Company's financial management committee also monitors and manages key financial risks relating to the operations of the Company by analyzing exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

45.4    Market Risk

Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements and their impact on the future performance of a business. The major components of market risk are commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

The primary commodity price risks that the Company is exposed to include international crude oil prices that could adversely affect the value of the Company's financial assets or expected future cash flows. Substantial or extended decline in international prices of crude oil and natural gas may have an adverse effect on the Company's reported results.

45.5    Foreign currency risk management

Sale price of crude oil is denominated in United States dollar(USD) though billed and received in Indian Rupees (INR). The Company is, therefore, exposed to foreign currency risk principally out of INR appreciating against USD. Foreign currency risks on account of receipts / revenue and payments / expenses are managed by netting off naturally-occurring opposite exposures through export earnings, wherever possible and carry unheeded exposures for the residual considering the natural hedge available to it from domestic sales.

45.5.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is principally exposed to foreign currency risk against USD. Sensitivity of profit or loss arises mainly from USD denominated receivables and payables.

In management's opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

45.5.2 Forward foreign exchange contracts

The Company has not entered into any forward foreign exchange contracts during the reporting period.

45.6 Interest rate risk management

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the Company has borrowed funds benchmarked to overnight MCLR, Treasury Bills and USD LIBOR. The Company's exposure to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in note no. 27.2.

45.7 Price risks

The Company's equity securities price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheet either at fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss. The Company's equity investments in IOC and GAIL are publicly traded.

Investment of short-term surplus funds of the Company in liquid schemes of mutual funds provides high level of liquidity from a portfolio of money market securities and high quality debt and categorized as ‘low risk' product from liquidity and interest rate risk perspectives.

45.7.1 Price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity of profit or loss in respect of investments in equity shares and mutual funds at the end of the reporting period for +/-5% change in price and net asset value is presented below:

-    Other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2018 would increase/ decrease by Rs,13,596.66 million (for the year ended March 31, 2017 would increase/ decrease by Rs,14,478.68 million) as a result of 5% changes in fair value of equity investments measured at FVTOCI; and

-    As there was no investment in mutual funds as on 31st March, 2018, changes in net asset value of investment are not applicable for the year ended March 31, 2018 (For the year ended March 31, 2017 would increase/decrease by Rs,1,817.16 million as a result of 5% changes in net asset value of investment in mutual funds).

The Sensitivity of Revenue from operation to change in +/- 1 USD in prices of crude oil, natural gas & value added products (VAP)

45.8    Interest rate risk management

The Company invests the surplus fund generated from operations in term deposits with banks and mutual funds. Bank deposits are made for a period of upto 12 months carry interest rate as per prevailing market interest rate. Considering these bank deposits are short term in nature, there is no significant interest rate risk. Average interest earned on term deposit and a mutual fund for the year ended March 31, 2018 was 6.16%.

45.9    Credit risk management

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, investments carried at amortized cost and deposits with banks as well as customers including receivables. Credit risk management considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information including indicators like external credit rating (as far as available), macro-economic information (such as regulatory changes, government directives, market interest rate).

Major customers, being public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) and gas companies having highest credit ratings, carry negligible credit risk. Concentration of credit risk to any other counterparty did not exceed 4.17% (previous year 3.19%) of total monetary assets at any time during the year.

Credit exposure is managed by counterparty limits for investment of surplus funds which is reviewed by the Management. Investments in liquid plan/schemes are with public sector Asset Management Companies having highest rating. For banks, only high rated banks are considered for placement of deposits.

Bank balances are held with reputed and creditworthy banking institutions.

The Company is exposed to default risk in relation to financial guarantees given to banks / vendors on behalf of subsidiaries / joint venture companies for the estimated amount that would be payable to the third party for assuming the obligation. The Company's maximum exposure in this regard on as at March 31, 2018 is Rs,441,956.86 million (As at March 31, 2017 is Rs,443,308.48 million).

45.10 Liquidity risk management

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents including bank deposits and availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations when due. Management monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, liquidity management also involves projecting cash flows considering level of liquid assets necessary to meet obligations by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets & liabilities and monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios.

The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The information included in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.

*Represents Company's maximum exposure in respect of financial guarantee obligation given to banks / vendors on behalf of subsidiaries / joint venture companies for the estimated amount that would be payable to the third party for assuming the obligation.

The Company has access to committed credit facilities as described below, all of which remain unused at the end of the reporting period (as at March 31, 2017 Nil). The Company expects to meet its other obligations from operating cash flows and proceeds of maturing financial assets.

45.11 Fair value measurement

This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.

45.12 Fair value of the Company’s Financial Assets/ Financial Liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Some of the Company's financial assets/ financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets/ financial liabilities are determined.

45.13 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosures are required)

Management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the financial statements except as per note no. 45.12 approximate their fair values.

46.1.10 During the year the Company has acquired the entire 80% Participating Interest (PI) of Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited (GSPC) along with operatorship rights, at a purchase consideration of US$ 995.26 million (Rs,62,950.20 million) for Deen Dayal West (DDW) Field in the Block KG-OSN-2001/3. A Farm-in - Farm- out Agreement (FIFO) was signed with GSPC on 10th March, 2017 with an economic date of 31st March, 2017 (23:59 Hrs - IST) and the said consideration has been paid on 4th August, 2017 being the closing date.

As per FIFO, the company is required to pay / receive sums as adjustments to the consideration already paid based on the actual gas production and the differential in agreed gas price. Pending executing mother wells and estimating future production, the contingent adjustment to consideration remains to be quantified.

Accounting for the closing adjustment (i.e. working capital and other adjustments) to sale consideration viz. transactions from the economic date up to the closing date has been carried out on provisional basis and a sum of Rs,198.31 million is net receivable from GSPC which is subject to final settlement as per mutual agreement between GSPC and the company.

The company has also paid part consideration of US$ 200 million (Rs,12,650.00 million) for six discoveries other than DDW Field in the Block KG-OSN-2001/3 to GSPC towards acquisition rights for these discoveries in the Block KG-OSN-2001/3 to be adjusted against the valuation of such fields based on valuation parameters agreed between GSPC and the Company.

47. Disclosure under Indian Accounting Standard 36 - Impairment ofAssets

47.1    The Company is engaged mainly in the business of oil and gas exploration and production in On-shore and Offshore. In case of onshore assets, the fields are using common production/ transportation facilities and are sufficiently economically interdependent to constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU). Accordingly, impairment test of all onshore fields is performed in aggregate of all those fields at the Asset Level. In case of Offshore Assets, a field is generally considered as CGU except for fields which are developed as a Cluster, for which common facilities are used, in which case the impairment testing is performed in aggregate for all the fields included in the cluster.

47.2    The Value in Use of producing/developing CGUs is determined under a multi-stage approach, wherein future cash flows are initially estimated based on Proved Developed Reserves. Under the circumstances where further development of the fields in the CGUs is under progress and where the carrying value of the CGUs is not likely to be recovered through exploitation of proved developed reserves alone, the Proved and probable reserves (2P) of the CGUs are also taken for the purpose of estimating future cash flows. In such cases, full estimate of the expected cost of evaluation/development is also considered while determining the value in use.

47.3    In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of assets and from its disposal at the end of its useful life are discounted to their present value. The present value of cash flows has been determined by applying discount rates of 14.48% (as at March 31, 2017 - 14.88 %) for Rupee transactions and 9.68% (as at March 31, 2017- 10.57 %) for crude oil and value added products revenue, which are measured in USD. Future cash inflows from sale of crude oil and value added products have been computed using the future prices, on the basis of market-based average prices of dated Brent crude oil as per ‘Platt's Crude oil market wire' and its Co-relations with benchmark crude and other petroleum products. Future cash flows from sale of natural gas are also computed based on the expected future prices on the basis of notification issued by the Government of India and discounted applying the rate applicable to the cash flows measured in USD in view of the new pricing guidelines issued by GOI. (Note no. 30.3)

47.4    The company has assessed the impairment as at March 31, 2018 for its CGUs. There has been an improvement in prices of Crude Oil and Natural Gas in the current financial year. As a result of the change in prices and other variables, there has been a reversal of an amount of Rs,6,985.33 million (As on 31 March, 2017 Rs,13,979.63 million) mainly consisting of Rs,6,954.96 million (As on 31 March, 2017 Rs,12,203.54 million) for onshore CGU Sibsagar and balance reversal of impairment pertains to other CGUs.

47.5    During the year Rs,1,342.92 million (Previous year Rs,715.62 million) has been provided for impairment loss mainly consisting of onshore

48. Contingent liabilities, Contingent Assets and commitments (to the extent not provided for)

48.1    Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets:

48.1.1    Claims against the Company/ disputed demands not acknowledged as debt:-

CGU Silchar and Jodhpur amounting to Rs,241.96 million (Previous year Rs,235.11 million). Balance impairment loss amounting to Rs,1,100.96 million (Previous year Rs,480.51 million) pertains to Tapti field, CB-OS-1and other CGUs.

47.6 The following 2P reserves for respective CGU were considered as a basis for the impairment testing as at March 31, 2018

Impairment testing of assets under exploratory phase (Exploratory wells in progress) has been carried out as on March 31, 2018 and an amount of Rs,1,820.94 million (For the year ended March 31, 2017 Rs,4,539.44 million) has been provided during the year 2017-18 as impairment loss. Further, Rs,1,065.43 million (For the year ended March 31, 2017 Rs,966.05 million) impairment losses has been reversed in the Standalone statement of Profit and Loss as exploratory phase assets have been transferred to dry well expenditure.

a.    The Company's pending litigations comprise claims against the Company and proceedings pending with Tax / Statutory/ Government Authorities. The Company has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has made adequate provisions, wherever required and disclosed the contingent liabilities, wherever applicable, in its financial statements. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a material impact on its financial position. Future cash outflows in respect of the above are determinable only on receipt of judgments/ decisions pending with various forums/ authorities.

b.    During the year, the Company has received show cause notices at various work centers on account of service tax along with interest and penalty, on royalty on Crude oil and Natural gas levied under Oil Field (Regulation & Development) Act, 1948. The Company has worked out service tax (including interest) of Rs,19,834.29 million for the period from April 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Further, the Company has worked out GST (including interest) of Rs,14,315.98 million for the period from July 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018. Penalty in respect of the same is not quantifiable. Based on legal opinion obtained by the Company, service tax / GST on royalty are not applicable. The Company is contesting the same at appropriate authorities and accordingly the same has been shown as contingent liability. However, as an abundant caution, the company has deposited Service tax, GST and interest under protest in May, 2018 amounting to Rs,25,153.29 million.

c. The Company, with 40% Participating Interest (PI), is a Joint Operator in Panna-Mukta and Mid and South Tapti Fields along with Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and BG Exploration and Production India Limited (BGEPIL), each having 30% PI. The Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) with respect to Panna-Mukta and Mid and South Tapti contract areas were signed between the Contractors and Government of India on December 22, 1994 for a period of 25 years. In December 2010, RIL & BGEPIL invoked an arbitration proceeding against the Union of India in respect of certain disputes, differences and claims arising out of or in connection with both the PSCs in respect to Panna-Mukta and Mid and South Tapti contract areas pursuant to the provisions of Article 33 of the PSCs and UNCITRAL Rules, 1976. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG), vide letter dated July 4, 2011, had advised the Company not to participate in the arbitration initiated by RIL and BGEPIL under Panna-Mukta & Tapti PSCs. However, in case of an arbitral award, the same will be applicable to the Company also as a constituent of the contractor for both the PSCs. On October 12, 2016, a Final Partial Award (FPA) was pronounced by the Tribunal in the arbitration matter between RIL, BGEPIL and Union of India. However, details of proceedings in this regard are not known to the Company since the Company is not a party to this arbitration. Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), vide letter dated May 25, 2017 marked to all Joint Venture Partners (RIL, BGEPIL & ONGC) has asked for payment of differential GOI share of Profit Petroleum and Royalty alleged to be payable by contractor pursuant to Governments interpretation of the FPA (40% share of the Company amounting to US$ 1,574.76 million equivalent to Rs,102,233.41 million including interest up to November 30, 2016 ). However, in response to letter dated May 25, 2017 of DGH, RIL and BGEPIL the JV partners (with a copy marked to all the Joint Venture partners) have stated that demand of DGH is premature as the FPA does not make any money award in favour of GOI as quantification of liabilities are to be determined during the final proceedings of the arbitration and the same has been challenged before the English Commercial Court.

Further, subsequent to London High Court Orders dated April 16, 2018 and May 2, 2018, DGH vide letter dated May 4, 2018 and May 15, 2018 has asked for re-casting of accounts of the JV and for remitting respective PI share of balance dues including interest till the date of remittance. Details of proceedings thereof and the London High Court orders are not known to the Company since the Company is not a party to the arbitration. In response to the letter of DGH RIL & BGEPIL have responded (with a copy marked to all the Joint Venture partners) that FPA of October 2016 does not make any money award in favour of the Government. Further it has also been stated by RIL & BGEPIL that the English Court has upheld challenge 4 of the claimants (RIL & BGEPIL) in relation to "Agreement Case” and held that there had been a serious irregularity in the Award of the Tribunal. Further in the court order of May 2, 2018, the English Court has directed the Tribunal to re-consider the “Agreement Case” and issue a fresh award within three months of that date. The “Agreement Case” is closely linked with the Cost recovery limit (CRL) increase application filed by the contractor with the Management Committee and Tribunals re-consideration of this issue necessarily impacts the re-computation of accounts.

Re-computation of accounts and consequential determination of any amount due and payable by the contractor (Constituents of the JV including the Company) are to be determined during the final stage of the arbitration proceedings after determination of all substantive issues by the Tribunal (including any application for an increase in the Tapti and Panna Mukta CRL and an award on the Agreement Case). The Company has also responded to DGH that as of now, neither the Arbitral Tribunal nor the Court has passed any order or quantified any amount due and payable by the Company. In the circumstances, the demand of DGH from the Company for any sum or interest thereon is premature and not justified. The company has requested DGH to keep the issue in abeyance till finality in the award is achieved.

Pending the final quantification of liabilities by the Arbitration Tribunal, no provision for the same has been considered necessary. However, the same has been considered as contingent liability

48.1.2    A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. During the normal course of business, several unresolved claims are currently outstanding. The inflow of economic benefits, in respect of such claims cannot be measured due to uncertainties that surround the related events and circumstances.

1. Corporate information

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (‘ONGC’ or ‘the Company’) is a public limited company domiciled and incorporated in India having its registered office at Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Urja Bhawan, 5, Nelson Mandela Marg, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi - 110070. The Company’s shares are listed and traded on Stock Exchanges in India. The Company is engaged in exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and value added products.

2. Application of new IndianAccounting Standards

2.1 All the Indian Accounting Standards issued and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) till the financial statements are authorized have been considered in preparing these financial statements.

2.2 In March 2017, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to the Ind AS 7 ‘Statement of Cash flows’ and Ind AS 102, ‘Share - Based Payment’, which are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS -7, ‘Statement of Cash flows’ and IFRS - 2, ‘Share - Based Payment’ respectively. These amendments are applicable w.e.f. 1stApril, 2017

Amendment to Ind AS 7:

The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.

As the Company has no liabilities arising from financing activities presently, hence this amendment has no effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Amendment to Ind AS 102:

The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.

As the Company has not issued any stock options planspresently, hence this amendment has no effect on the financial statements of the Company.

3. Critical Accounting Judgments,

Assumptions and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Inherent in the application of many of the accounting policies used in preparing the Financial Statements is the need for Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual outcomes could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.

Key source of judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the Financial Statements which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are in respect of Oil and Gas reserves, impairment, useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment, depletion of oil and gas assets, decommissioning provision, employee benefit obligations, impairment, provision for income tax, measurement of deferred tax assets and contingent assets and liabilities.

3.1. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (Note 4.2), that the Management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements.

(a) Determination of functional currency

Currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (“the functional currency”) is Indian Rupee (Rs.) in which the Company primarily generates and expends cash. Accordingly, the Management has assessed its functional currency to be Indian Rupee ( Rs.).

(b) Classification of investment

Judgement is required in assessing the level of control obtained in a transaction to acquire an interest in another entity; depending upon the facts and circumstances in each case, the Company may obtain control, joint control or significant influence over the entity or arrangement. Transactions which give the Company control of a business are business combinations. If the Company obtains joint control of an arrangement, judgement is also required to assess whether the arrangement is a joint operation or a joint venture. If the Company has neither control nor joint control, it may be in a position to exercise significant influence over the entity, which is then classified as an associate.

The Company has 49.36% equity interest in ONGC Petro Additions Limited (OPAL). The Company has also subscribed for 1,922 million share warrants on August 25, 2015 entitling the Company to exchange each warrant with an equity share of face value of Rs.10 each against which Rs.9.75 has been paid.

Further the Company has also entered into an arrangement on July 2, 2016 for backstopping support towards repayment of principal and cumulative coupon amount for compulsory convertible debentures amounting to Rs.56,150 Million and cumulative interest thereon amounting to Rs.16,570.00 Million issued by OPAL.

The Management has however evaluated the interest in OPAL to be in the nature of joint venture as the shareholder agreement between all the shareholders provides for sharing of control of the decisions of relevant activities that require the unanimous consent of all the parties sharing control.

(c) Determining whether an arrangement contain leases and classification of leases

The Company enters into service/hiring arrangements for various assets/services. The determination of lease and classification of the service/hiring arrangement as a finance lease or operating lease is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not limited to, transfer of ownership of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee’s option to purchase and estimated certainty of exercise of such option, proportion of lease term to the asset’s economic life, proportion of present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased asset and extent of specialized nature of the leased asset.

(d) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of Oil and Gas Assets

The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of external factors (significant decline in asset’s value, significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment, market interest rates etc.) and internal factors (obsolescence or physical damage of an asset, poor economic performance of the asset etc.) which could result in significant change in recoverable amount of the Oil and Gas Assets.

(e) Oil & Gas Accounting

The determination of whether potentially economic oil and natural gas reserves have been discovered by an exploration well is usually made within one year of well completion, but can take longer, depending on the complexity of the geological structure. Exploration wells that discover potentially economic quantities of oil and natural gas and are in areas where major capital expenditure (e.g. an offshore platform or a pipeline) would be required before production could begin, and where the economic viability of that major capital expenditure depends on the successful completion of further exploration work in the area, remain capitalized on the balance sheet as long as additional exploration or appraisal work is under way or firmly planned.

It is not unusual to have exploration wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells remaining suspended on the balance sheet for several years while additional appraisal drilling and seismic work on the potential oil and natural gas field is performed or while the optimum development plans and timing are established. All such carried costs are subject to regular technical, commercial and management review on at least an annual basis to confirm the continued intent to develop, or otherwise extract value from the discovery. Where this is no longer the case, the costs are immediately expensed.

3.2. Assumptions and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Information about estimates and assumptions that have the significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(a) Estimation ofprovision for decommissioning

The Company estimates provision for decommissioning as per the principles of Ind AS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ for the future decommissioning of Oil and Gas assets at the end of their economic lives. Most of these decommissioning activities would be in the future, the exact requirements that may have to be met when the removal events occur are uncertain.

Technologies and costs for decommissioning are constantly changing. The timing and amounts of future cash flows are subject to significant uncertainty.

The timing and amount of future expenditures are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, together with rate of inflation for escalation of current cost estimates and the interest rate used in discounting the cash flows. The economic life of the Oil and Gas assets is estimated on the basis of long term production profile of the relevant Oil and Gas asset. The General Consumer Price Index (CPI) for inflation i.e. 3.81% (Previous year 4.83%) has been used for escalation of the current cost estimates and discounting rate used to determine the balance sheet obligation as at the end of the year is 7.12% (Previous year 7.56%), which is the risk free government bond rate with 10 year yield.

(b) Determination of cash generating unit (CGU)

The Company is engaged mainly in the business of oil and gas exploration and production in Onshore and Offshore. In case of onshore assets, the fields are using common production/ transportation facilities and are sufficiently economically interdependent to constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU). Accordingly, impairment test ofall onshore fields is performed in aggregate of all those fields at the Asset Level. In case of Offshore Assets, a field is generally considered as CGU except for fields which are developed as a Cluster, for which common facilities are used, in which case the impairment testing is performed in aggregate for all the fields included in the cluster.

(c) Impairment of assets

Determination as to whether, and by how much, a CGU is impaired involves Management estimates on uncertain matters such as future prices, the effects of inflation on operating expenses, discount rates, production profiles for crude oil, natural gas and value added products. For Oil and Gas assets, the expected future cash flows are estimated using Management’s best estimate of future crude oil and natural gas prices, production and reserves volumes.

The present values of cash flows are determined by applying pre tax-discount rates of 14.88% (previous year 19.06 %) for Rupee transactions and 10.57% (previous year 13.37 %) for crude oil and value added products revenue, which are measured in USD. Future cash inflows from sale of crude oil and value added products are computed using the future prices, on the basis of market-based average prices of the Dated Brent crude oil as per assessment by ‘Platt’s Crude Oil Market wire’ and its co-relations with benchmark crudes and other petroleum products. Future cash flows from sale of natural gas are also computed based on the expected future prices on the basis of the notification issued by the Government of India and discounted applying the rate applicable to the cash flows measured in USD in view of the new pricing guidelines issued by GoI.

The discount rate used is based upon the cost of capital from an established model.

The Value in use of the producing/developing CGUs is determined under a multi-stage approach, wherein future cash flows are initially estimated based on Proved Developed Reserves. Under circumstances where the further development of the fields in the CGUs is under progress and where the carrying value of the CGUs is not likely to be recovered through exploitation of proved developed reserves alone, the Proved and probable reserves (2P) of the CGUs are also taken for the purpose of estimating future cash flows. In such cases, full estimate of the expected cost of evaluation/ development is also considered while determining the value in use.

The discount rates applied in the assessment of impairment calculation are re-assessed each year.

(d) Estimation of reserves

Management estimates production profile (proved and developed reserves) in relation to all the Oil and Gas Assets based on the policies and procedures determined by the Reserves Estimation Committee of the Company (REC). The estimates so determined are used for the computation of depletion and impairment testing.

The year-end reserves of the Company have been estimated by the REC which follows international reservoir engineering procedures consistently. The Company has adopted deterministic approach for reserves estimation and is following Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) - 1997 guidelines which defines reserves as “estimated volumes of crude oils, condensate, natural gas, natural gas liquids and associated substances anticipated to be commercially recoverable from known accumulations from a given date forward, under existing economic conditions, by established operating practices, and under current Government regulations.” Volumetric estimation is the main procedure in estimation, which uses reservoir rock and fluid properties to calculate hydrocarbons in-place and then estimate that portion which will be recovered from it. As the field gets matured with reasonably good production history available then performance methods such as material balance, simulation, decline curve analysis are applied to get more accurate assessments of reserves.

The annual revision of estimates is based on the yearly exploratory and development activities and results thereof. New in- place Volume and Ultimate Reserves are estimated for new field discoveries or new pool discoveries in already discovered fields. Also, appraisal activities lead to revision in estimates due to new sub-surface data. Similarly, reinterpretation exercise is also carried out for old fields due to necessity of revision in petro-physical parameters, updating of static and dynamic models and performance analysis leading to change in reserves. Intervention of new technology, change in classifications and contractual provisions also necessitate revision in estimation of reserves.

The Company uses the services of third party agencies for due diligence and it gets the reserves ofits assets audited by third party periodically by internationally reputed consultants who adopt latest industry practices for their evaluation.

(e) Defined benefit obligation (DBO)

Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

4.1 Includes assets pertaining to production and allied facilities as on April 1, 2015 classified as “Oil and Gas Assets”under Property, Plant and Equipment in terms of EAC opinion issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (iCAI) (Note 56.1).

4.2 The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its Oil and Gas Assets recognised as ofApril 1, 2015 (transition date) measured as per the Previous GAAP and used that carrying value as its deemed cost as on the transition date as per Para D7AA of Ind AS 101 except for decommissioning and restoration provision included in the cost of Oil and Gas Assets which have been adjusted in terms of para D21 of Ind AS 101 ‘First -time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards’ (Note 3.34 (v))

a. Land includes 36 numbers (Previous year 158) of lands in respect of certain units amounting to Rs.88.89 million (Previous year Rs.184.61 million) for which execution of conveyance deeds is in process.

b. Registration of title deeds in respect of 12 numbers (Previous year 12) buildings is pending execution having carrying amount of Rs.61.10million(Previous year Rs.64.94 million).

c. Building includes cost of undivided interest in land.

5.1. Carrying value of Assets pertaining to production and allied facilities as on April 1, 2015 has been reclassified from other Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) to “Oil and Gas Assets” to reflect the aggregate amount of Oil and Gas Assets.

5.2. The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its other Property Plant & Equipment (PPE) recognised as of April 1, 2015 (transition date) measured as per the Previous GAAP and used that carrying value as its deemed cost as on the transition date as per Para D7AA of Ind AS 101 except for decommissioning provision included in the cost of other Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) which has been adjusted in terms of para D21 of Ind AS 101 ‘First -time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards’ (Note 3.34 (v)).

6.1 The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its Capital Works-in-Progress recognised as of April 1, 2015 (transition date) measured as per the Previous GAAP and used that carrying value as its deemed cost as on the transition date as per Para D7AA of Ind AS 101 except for decommissioning and restoration provision included in the cost of Capital Works-in-Progress which have been adjusted in terms of para D21 of Ind AS 101 ‘First -time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards’ (Note 3.34 (v)).

6.2 Includes Rs.7,156.89 million (Previous year Nil) in respect of Tapti A series assets and facilities which were a part of the assets of PMT Joint Operation ( JO) and surrendered by the JO to the Government of India as per the terms and conditions of the JO Agreement. During the year these assets and facilities have been transferred by Government of India to the Company free of cost as its nominee. The Company has assessed the fair value of the said assets & facilities at Rs.7,156.89 million based on the valuation report by a third party agency, which has been accounted as Capital work-in-progress with a corresponding liability as Deferred Government Grant (Note 27.1).

While transferring these assets to the Company, the decommissioning obligation has been delinked by Government of India. The same will be considered as decided by the Government of India. However decommissioning provision towards 40% share being partner in the JO is being carried in the financial statements.

7.1 The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its Intangible Assets, recognised as of April 1, 2015 (transition date) measured as per the Previous GAAP and used that carrying value as its deemed cost as on the transition date as per Para D7AA of Ind AS 101 ‘First -time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards’ Standards’ (Note 3.34 (v)).

8.1. The Company had acquired during 2004-05, 90% Participating Interest in Exploration Block KG-DWN-98/2 from M/s Cairn Energy India Ltd for a lump sum consideration of Rs.3,711.22 million which, together with subsequent exploratory drilling costs of wells had been capitalised under exploratory wells in progress. During 2012-13, the Company had acquired the remaining 10% participating interest in the block from M/s Cairn Energy India Ltd on actual past cost basis for a consideration of Rs.2124.44 million. Initial in-place reserves were established in this block and adhering to original PSC time lines, a Declaration of commerciality (DOC) with a conceptual cluster development plan was submitted on December 21, 2009 for Southern Discovery Area and on July 15, 2010 for Northern Discovery Area. Thereafter, in the revised DOC submitted in December, 2013, Cluster-wise development of the Block had been envisaged by division of entire development area into three clusters. The DOC in respect of Cluster II had been reviewed by the Management Committee (MC) of the block on September 25, 2014. Field Development Plan (FDP) for Cluster-II was submitted on September 8, 2015 and the same had been approved by MC on March 31, 2016. Investment decision has been approved by the Company. Work on the block has started and is in progress.

The exploration period of this block was restructured byGovernment upto December 29, 2013 in accordance with the Rig Holiday Policy and further extended to January 25, 2014. Under the new policy framework for relaxation, extensions and clarifications at the development and production stage under the PSC regime notified by MoP&NG vide GO dated November 11, 2014; drilling and testing of appraisal wells were completed. Revised DOC for Clusters I and III were submitted to MC for review on April 27, 2016. The DOC for Cluster-I has been reviewed by MC on December 14, 2016. FDP for Cluster-I is under preparation. Revised DOC of Cluster-III is under review by MC and on completion of review, FDP will be prepared.

The capital structure of the Company consists of total equity (Refer Note 21 & 22). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company’s financial management committee reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the committee considers the cost of capital, risks associated with each class of capital requirements and maintenance of adequate liquidity.

29.1.1 Gearing Ratio

The Company has no outstanding debt as at the end of reporting period. Accordingly, the Company has zero gearing ratio as at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016. Gearing ratio was 0.0096 as at April 1, 2015.

29.3 Financial risk management objectives

While ensuring liquidity is sufficient to meet Company’s operational requirements, the Company’s financial management committee also monitors and manages key financial risks relating to the operations of the Company by analyzing exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

29.4 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements and their impact on the future performance of a business. The major components of market risk are commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

The primary commodity price risks that the Company is exposed to include international crude oil prices that could adversely affect the value of the Company’s financial assets or expected future cash flows. Substantial or extended decline in international prices of crude oil and natural gas may have an adverse effect on the Company’s reported results.

29.5 Foreign currency risk management

Sale price of crude oil is denominated in United States dollar (USD) though billed and received in Indian Rupees (INR). The Company is, therefore, exposed to foreign currency risk principally out ofINR appreciating against USD. Foreign currency risks on account of receipts/revenue and payments/expenses are managed by netting off naturally-occurring opposite exposures through export earnings, wherever possible and carry unhedged exposures for the residual considering the natural hedge available to it from domestic sales.

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in different foreign currencies and consequently exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters. The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows.

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

Sensitivity of profit or loss before tax to change in /- 1 USD in prices of crude oil, natural gas & value added products (VAP) and /- Re. 1 in exchange rate between INR-USD currency pair is presented as under:

29.5.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

29.5.2 Forward foreign exchange contracts

The Company has not entered into any forward foreign exchange contracts during the reporting period.

29.6 Interest rate risk

The Company has not availed borrowings, hence is not exposed to interest rate risk.

29.7 Price risks

The Company’s equity securities price risk arises from investments held and classified in the balance sheet either at fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s equity investments in IOC and GAIL are publicly traded.

Investment of short-term surplus funds of the Company in liquid schemes of mutual funds provides high level of liquidity from a portfolio of money market securities and high quality debt and categorized as ‘low risk’ product from liquidity and interest rate risk perspectives.

49. Jointly Controlled Entities:

50. Company has ownership interest in following Jointly Controlled Entities:

51. The Company is engaged mainly in the business of oil and gas exploration and production in Onshore and Offshore. In case of onshore assets, the fields are using common production/transportation facilities and are sufficiently economically interdependent to constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU). Accordingly, impairment test of all onshore fields is performed in aggregate of all those fields at the Asset Level. In case of Offshore Assets, a field is generally considered as CGU except for fields which are developed as a Cluster, for which common facilities are used, in which case the impairment testing is performed in aggregate for all the fields included in the cluster.

52 The Value in Use of producing/developing CGUs is determined under a multi-stage approach, wherein future cash flows are initially estimated based on Proved Developed Reserves. Under circumstances where the further development of the fields in the CGUs is under progress and where the carrying value of the CGUs is not likely to be recovered through exploitation of proved developed reserves alone, the Proved and probable reserves (2P) of the CGUs are also taken for the purpose of estimating future cash flows. In such cases, full estimate of the expected cost of evaluation/development is also considered while determining the value in use.

Pending farm out agreement/ government approval, no adjustment is made in the accounts in respect of relinquishment of RJ-ON/6.

46. Disclosure under Accounting Standard - 28 and Guidance note on Accounting for Oil and gas producing Activities (Revised) on "Impairment of Assets"

47. The Company is engaged mainly in the business of oil and gas exploration and production in On-shore and Offshore. In case of onshore assets, the fields are using common production/transportation facilities and are sufficiently economically interdependent to constitute a single cash generating unit (CGU). Accordingly, impairment test of all onshore fields are performed in aggregate of all those fields at the Asset Level. In case of Offshore Assets, a field is generally considered as CGU except for fields which are developed as a Cluster, for which common facilities are used, in which case the impairment testing is performed in aggregate for all the fields included in the cluster.

48. The Value in Use of producing/developing CGUs is determined under a multi-stage approach, wherein future cash flows are initially estimated based on Proved Developed Reserves. Under circumstances where the further development of the fields in the CGUs is under progress and where the carrying value of the CGUs is not likely to be recovered through exploitation of proved developed reserves alone, the Proved and probable reserves (2P) of the CGUs are also taken for the purpose of estimating future cash flows. In such cases, full estimate of the expected cost of evaluation/development is also considered while determining the value in use.

49. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of the assets and from its disposal at the end of its useful life are discounted to their present value. The present values of cash flows are determined by applying discount rates of 19.71% (previous year 19.10 %) for Rupee transactions and 13.89% (previous year 13.00 %) for crude oil and value added products revenue, which are measured in USD. Future cash inflows from sale of crude oil and value added products are computed using the future prices, on the basis of market-based average prices of the Dated Brent crude oil as per assessment by 'Platt's Crude Oil Market wire' and its co-relations with benchmark crudes and other petroleum products. Future cash flows from sale of natural gas is also computed based on the expected future prices on the basis of the notification issued by the Government of India and discounted applying the rate applicable to the cash flows measured in USD in view of the new pricing guidelines issued by GoI. (refer note no.26.5)

50. During the year Rs. 2,136.53 million (Previous Year Rs. 1,025.48 million) is provided as impairment loss. Out of this, an amount of Rs. 380.89 million (Previous Year Rs. 355.97 million) has been provided as additional impairment in respect of onshore CGUs - Jodhpur and Silchar. Rs. 146.40 million (Previous Year Rs. 69.05 million) has been provided for already impaired offshore CGU- Ratna. For B 121 an amount of '49.73 million (Previous Year '20.09 million) has been provided as additional impairment. In addition, Rs. 367.91 million (Previous Year Rs. 30.42 million) pertaining to block CY-OS- 90/1 (PY-3) has been provided as presently the field does not have any potential to produce. An amount of Rs. 1,025.81 million (Previous Year Rs. 79.40 million) mainly represents additional impairment charge in respect of certain onshore Pre- NELP joint venture blocks (RJ ON 6, CB ON 2 and CB ON 3) due to adjustment of cost recovery from revenue and sharing of 100% royalty. Balance amount of Rs. 73.38 million, Rs. 91.14 million (previous year Rs. 15.90 million) and Rs. 1.27 million has been provided for Ankleswar, Hazira Plant and Retail Trading respectively.

51. Further, Rs. 201.88 million (Previous Year Rs. 806.08 million) impairment losses has been reversed because of decrease in Abandonment cost estimation in respect Offshore CGU D-18 and Tapti.

52. Impairment testing of assets under exploratory phase (Exploratory Wells in Progress) has been carried out as on 31.03.2015, and an amount of Rs. 1,172.15 million (Previous year Rs. 2,546.46 million) has been provided during the year 2014-15 as impairment loss. Further, Rs. 1,203.23 million (Previous Year Nil) impairment loss has been reversed in the Statement of Profit and Loss as exploratory phase assets have been transferred to producing properties.

Since 2008-09, the Company has been paying royalty on crude oil at realized price which is net of under-recovery of the OMCs shared by the Company as per GoI directives. On an application filed by the State of Gujarat, the Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in its order dated 30.11.2013 has directed the Company to pay the shortfall of royalty on crude oil produced from the onshore fields in the State of Gujarat on pre-discount prices from 01.04.2008 onwards. Based on the Special Leave Petition filed by the Company against the said order of the Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat, pending further orders, Hon'ble Supreme Court vide order dated 13.02.2014 stayed the operation of the impugned judgment subject to the condition that the company pays royalty to the State of Gujarat on pre-discounted price of crude oil w.e.f. 01.02.2014 onwards. Accordingly, differential amount of Rs. 117,242.00 million (reduced to the extent Rs. 16,440.00 million which is paid to Gujarat Govt.- refer Note No. 31.2) on this account for the period from April, 2008 to March, 2015 C116,326.96 million as on 31.03.2014) has been considered as Contingent Liability. Pending the final outcome of the SLP filed before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, differential royalty (royalty on pre-discount price minus royalty on post-discount price) amounting to Rs. 21,067.60 million deposited w.e.f. February, 2014 C2,092.23 million as on 31.03.2014) in terms of Hon'ble Supreme Court order has been shown as deposit.

61. The year-end reserves of the company have been estimated by the Reserves Estimation Committee (REC) which follows international reservoir engineering procedures consistently. The company has adopted deterministic approach for reserves estimation and is following Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) - 1997 guidelines which defines reserves as "estimated volumes of crude oils, condensate, natural gas, natural gas liquids and associated substances anticipated to be commercially recoverable from known accumulations from a given date forward, under existing economic conditions, by established operating practices, and under current Government regulations." Volumetric estimation is the main procedure in estimation, which uses reservoir rock and fluid properties to calculate hydrocarbons in-place and then estimate that portion which will be recovered from it. As the field gets matured with reasonably good production history is available then performance method such as material balance, simulation, decline curve analysis are applied to get more accurate assessments of reserves.

The Company uses the services of third party agencies for due diligence and it gets the reserves of its assets audited by third party periodically by internationally reputed consultants who adopt latest industry practices for their evaluation.

The annual revision of estimates is based on the yearly exploratory and development activities and results thereof. New in- place Volume and Ultimate Reserves are estimated for new field discoveries or new pool discoveries in already discovered fields. Also, appraisal activities lead to revision in estimates due to new subsurface data. Similarly, reinterpretation exercise is also carried out for old fields due to necessity of revision in petro-physical parameters, updating of static and dynamic models and performance analysis leading to change in reserves. Intervention of new technology, change in classifications and contractual provisions also necessitates revision in estimation of reserves.

62. The Company has a system of physical verification of Inventory, Fixed Assets and Capital Stores in a phased manner to cover all items over a period of three years. Adjustment of differences, if any, is carried out on completion of reconciliation.

63. Discrepancies of crude oil of 96,496 MT (valued at Rs. 395.47 million as on March 31,2014) between physical and book records at Ankleshwar Asset have been ascertained by the management during the year and accordingly these have been written off/adjusted in inventories. Further, 70,746 MT of pit oil lying in book of Ahmedabad Asset (valued at nil as on March 31,2014) has also been written off during the year. These write offs and consequential adjustments thereto have been made on account of over reporting of crude oil production in earlier financial years. The discrepancies as mentioned above are under investigation by the appropriate authorities.

64. The Company did not have any long term contracts including derivative contracts for which there were any material foreseeable losses.

65. Some balances of Trade/Other Receivables, Trade/Other Payables and Loans and Advances are subject to confirmation/reconciliation. Adjustments, if any, will be accounted for on confirmation/reconciliation of the same, which will not have a material impact.

66. Previous year's figures have been regrouped/reclassified, wherever necessary, to conform to current year's classification.

67. Figures in parenthesis as given in these Notes to Financial Statement relate to previous year.

Mar 31, 2010

1. In terms of the decision of Government of India (Gol), the Company has shared under-recoveries of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) for the year 2009-10 by allowing discount in the prices of Crude Oil, PDS Kerosene and domestic LPG based on provisional rates of discount communicated by Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG). The Company does not foresee any material impact on finalization of discount rates.

2.1 Sales revenue in respect of Crude Oil is based on the pricing formula agreed with the customers for the period from 01.04.2002 to 31.03.2004. Pending finalization of fresh Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)/Crude Oil Sale Agreement (COSA) with the customers, the same pricing formula has been provisionally adopted from 01.04.2004 onwards. However, for Crude Oil produced in Assam, benchmark price revised by MoP&NG w.e.f. 01.04.2008 has been adopted.

2.2 Sales revenue in respect of Natural Gas under Administered Price Mechanism (APM) is based on the gas prices fixed on provisional basis as per directives dated 20.06.2005 and 05.06.2006 of the Gol, MoP&NG.

2.3 Adjustments, if any, on account of Para 2.1 and 2.2 above shall be carried out on finalization of agreements/ receipt of government directives. However, the Company does not foresee any material impact on current years results.

3. MoP&NG vide letters dated 15.03.10 and 09.04.10 have directed GAIL (India) Limited (GAIL) that difference between consumer price and producer price revised vide MoP&NG letter dated 5th June, 2006 for APM gas being supplied to City Gas Distribution Projects and small consumers having allocations up to 0.05 MMSCMD should be transferred by GAIL from surplus in Gas Pool Account to the producers. Accordingly, an amount ofRs. 4,415.79 million on account of above for the period from 06.06.06 to 31.03.10 has been recognised during the current year.

4. The MOU for trading in products of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL), a subsidiary of the Company, expired on 31st March, 2009, and accordingly no trading activity of their products was carried out during the year. Sales revenue and Purchases on account of trading of such products in the previous year was Rs. 85,098.15 million and Rs. 85,073.62 million respectively.

5.1 During the year, the Company has changed its accounting policy on abandonment cost and started providing the full eventual estimated liability towards costs relating to dismantling, abandoning and restoring of onshore well sites. Such cost of onshore well site has been capitalized to Producing Property/Development Wells in Progress /Exploratory Wells in Progress when completed and in case of dry wells it is charged to Profit & Loss account. This has resulted in increase in Producing Property by Rs. 8,353.36 million, Exploratory Wells in Progress by Rs. 166.64 million and Development Wells in Progress by Rs. 102.57 million with corresponding increase in abandonment liability by Rs. 8,622.57 million. This has also resulted in increase in Depletion cost by Rs. 403.72 million and cost of dry wells by Rs. 88.50 million with corresponding decrease in profit before tax by Rs. 492.22 million.

5.2 Further, in case of offshore wells, upto the previous year the Company was providing full eventual estimated liability towards costs relating to dismantling, abandoning and restoring of offshore wells/facilities that were forming part of producing properties. However, during the current year, the Company started providing such liability in respect of wells completed and facilities capitalized also whether they are transferred to Producing Property or not. This has resulted in increase in Development Wells in Progress by Rs. 305.52 million and corresponding increase in abandonment liability by a similar amount. This has no impact on profit before tax.

6. During the year, the Company changed its accounting policy of amortising intangible assets from Written Down Value Method @ 40% to Straight Line Method over the useful life not exceeding a period of 5 years in order to systematically amortize its intangible assets. This has resulted in decrease in Depreciation, Depletion, Amortisation and Impairment by Rs. 424.55 million, consequently activity cost decreased by Rs. 3.22 million and Profit before tax increased by Rs. 421.33 million.

7. In Ravva Joint Venture, the demand towards additional profit petroleum raised by Gol, based on the decision of the Malaysian High Court, was disputed by the Operator M/s. Cairn Energy India Limited, due to difference in interpretation of provision of Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in respect of computation of Post Tax Rate of Return (PTRR). The Company is not a party to the dispute but agreed to abide by the decision applicable to the Operator. As the dispute between the Operator and Gol was not resolved, the Company made a provision in Financial Year 2008-09 amounting to Rs. 5,771.14 million (USD 113.82 million) on account of additional profit petroleum and Rs. 2,829.86 million (USD 54.88 million) towards interest thereon totaling to Rs. 8,601.00 million (USD 168.70 million) as an abundant precaution. Gol has recovered such amount subsequently.

The appellate authority of Honorable Malaysian High Court of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has set aside the decision of the Malaysian High Court and the decision of arbitral tribunal in favour of Operator was restored on 15th September 2009, Gol has filed an appeal in the Federal Court of Malaysia against such restoration.

An additional interest of Rs. 65.41 million (USD 1.45 million) has been provided during the year. Pending final outcome of this appeal, the provision is retained at Rs. 7,679.21 million (USD 170.15 million) net of reversal of Rs. 987.20 million towards exchange gain during the year.

8. The Company acquired 90% Participating Interest in Exploration Block KG-DWN-98/2 from M/s Cairn Energy India Ltd. in 2004-05 for a lump sum consideration ofRs. 3,711.22 million which was capitalized under Exploratory Wells in Progress as per Accounting Policy No. 6.3. Subsequent exploratory drilling costs of wells in this block were capitalized as Exploratory Wells in Progress. Initial-in-Place-Reserves have been established in this block and a conceptual development plan is also under preparation. This being deep water block, needs more time for completion of appraisal programme. However, the Company as an abundant precaution made a provision ofRs. 6,104.80 million and Rs. 2,360.39 million in respect of above costs in 2007-08 and 2008-09 respectively. Since there is no significant change in status of this block during the current year, the expenditure amounting to Rs. 918.48 million on the wells completed upto 31 st March 2008, being more than two years old is provided for in the current year.

9. As perthe Production Sharing Contracts signed by the Company with the Gol, the Company is required to complete Minimum Work Programme (MWP) within stipulated time. In case of delay in completion of the MWP, Liquidated Damages (LD) is payable for extension of time to complete MWP. Further, in case the Company does not complete MWP or surrender the block without completing the MWP, the estimated cost of completing balance work programme is required to be paid to the Gol. LD amounting to Rs. (-)78.41 million net of reversal (Previous year Rs. 563.28 million) and cost of unfinished MWP Rs. 3,148.58 million (Previous year Rs. 1,439.51 million) paid/payable to the Gol is included in survey and wells written off expenditure in Schedule 21.

10. In respect of 16 (Previous year 16) Deepwater NELP Blocks, companys share in LD and MWP amounting to Rs. 12,037.37 million (Previous year Rs. 6,229.03 million) and Rs. 33,024.85 million (Previous year Rs. 13,075.42 million) respectively has not been provided for, since the rig moratorium proposal is under consideration of Gol as per the letter dated 18.08.2008 from Director General of Hydrocarbons (DGH). Out of the above, MWP amounting to Rs. 1,770.62 million (Previous year Nil) has already been completed during the year and balance amounting to Rs. 31,254.23 million (Previous yearRs. 13,075.42 million) is included in Capital Commitment (Note No 27.1.2).

11. The Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009 has specified the definition of "undertaking" for the purpose of claiming tax holiday under section 80-IB(9) of Income Tax Act, 1961 to be all blocks licensed under a single contract retrospectively whereas the company had earlier considered each well as an "undertaking".Since the amendment still requires clarity on various issues and also considering the advice of legal experts, the company continued to make provision for tax without considering the benefit u/s80-IB(9).

12. The Jharia CBM Block was awarded by Gol to ONGC-CIL consortium on nomination basis for exploration and exploitation of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) gas. Ministry of Coal (MoC) later awarded a coal mining block to the private company which overlapped with a part of the Companys CBM Block. It was decided by the MoC and MoP&NG that such area of exploratory wells drilled by the Company are excluded from the mining area to the private company. These well sites are permanently acquired by the Company and the titles are in the name of the Company. Pending resolution and receipt of equitable land for future exploration activities in consideration of the overlapped area, amounting toRs. 1.54 million incurred on exploratory wells is shown under Exploratory Wells in Progress.

13. In case of Jointly Controlled Assets - Panna Mukta & Tapti (ONGC Share - 40%), where Blocks auditors have opined regarding non ascertainment and adjustment of certain observations raised by auditors appointed by Director General Hydrocarbon (DGH) under Production Sharing Contract for the period 1994 to 2007 in respect of cost and profit petroleum share. Pending resolution of such issues, no adjustment has been made in the accounts of the operator. The amount of liability arising out of such observations has not been quantified and impact of the same on Companys accounts is unascertainable.

14. Pending finalization, the Company provided liability for pay revision in respect of unionized category of employees amounting to Rs. 1,910.00 million during the year (till 31.03.2010 Rs. 4,100.00 million) and is allocated to activities as per the policy of the company.

15. The Company changed the rate of depreciation on all Trunk Pipelines and Onshore Flow Lines (assets below ground) from 27.82% to 100% based on technical assessment by the management during 2005-06. The Company made a reference to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) during 2006-07 for confirmation of the rate of depreciation. Pending confirmation by the MCA, Company continues to charge depreciation at 100% on such assets.

16. The Company has a system of physical verification of Inventory, Fixed Assets and Capital Stores in a phased manner at regular intervals. Adjustment of differences, if any, will be accounted for after examination of these differences.
