c. The company does not provide leave encashment and carry forward of accumulated leave to next year to its employees.

xi. Leases

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:(i)the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset("ROU")and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less(short-term-leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

The Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by

reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Transition

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Ind AS 116"Leases" and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1,2019 using the modified retrospective method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Consequently, the Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but discounted at the Company''s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

xii. Intangible Fixed Assets

Intangible Assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Cost includes any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives'' on a Written down value basis, from the date that they are available for use.

xiii. Expenses

a. All expenses including interest and finance charges are accounted for on accrual basis.

b. Prior period items, if material, are disclosed separately.

xiv. Research and Development

Expenditure incurred during research and development phase is charged to revenue when no intangible asset arises from such research. Assets procured for research and development activities are generally capitalized.

xv. Redemption of Customer Loyalty Points

The unavailed Customer Loyalty Points lying in the Value card has been provided as a liability and the amount redeemed during the year is charged to Profit & Loss A/c in the respective years of redemption. Redemption of customer loyalty points costs are accrued in the year of sales of products based on past experience.

xvi. Advance from Customers

Amounts collected as advances from customers have been recognized as a liability in the year of collection. The accumulated amount along with applicable bonus

amount is redeemed in the form of Jewellery. The bonus or obligations arising out of these transactions are accounted for in books on accrual basis on a consistent basis.

The Company is collecting money from its customers on advance basis by extending easy payment scheme, and offers in return gold ornaments at the rate prevailing on the date of redemption (which is less than twelve months from the date of original entry date) without any charges towards making and wastage cost. The concession if any will be accounted in the year in which it is redeemed as discount to sales realization.

The company is accepting old gold from its customers to be exchanged for new gold ornaments within a period of twelve months without any charges for making such ornaments.

The Company is operating a scheme by which customer fixes the gold price to the extent of amount paid on the date of remittance. The liability that would arise to the company due to adverse price fluctuations if any or the benefits that would arise due to favourable price marked to market as on the last date of financial year will be dealt with accordingly in the books on the year in which such transactions were put through.

xvii. Gold Metal Loan

The company has an arrangement with its banker for lifting gold under metal loan terms against a limit under "price unfixed basis" and opts to fix the price for gold taken under loan within 180 days at delivery. However, based on business expediencies the company fixes the price within 180 days, whenever the price is favorable and carried the transaction under the forward cover to be settled for payment of money on the specified date. The price difference arising out of such transactions accounted in the head of cost of sales and adjusted accordingly. The interest if any payable to bankers on such outstanding is treated as expenses on accrual basis.

The outstanding metal loan position if any as on reporting date is marked to market and the resulting difference if any is adjusted to the notional purchase account and the value as on that date is adjusted as cost for inventory valuation consideration.

xviii. Hedging

Hedging mechanism of entering into forward contract against appropriate underlying assets is primarily used by the company to hedge the price fluctuation

exposure of those underlying assets. The resultant gain or loss as on reporting date is taken to the profit and loss under the head of other income / other expenses appropriately. This treatment is consistently followed as the corresponding value of physical inventory quantity is adopted in the books of accounts as per the generally accepted and adopted valuation. The carried over closing stock as and when sold physically in the market will reflect the actual realization on such sales. Similarly, the hedging position loss or profit as the case may be will be reflected on at the time of closure corresponding to actual realization as and when made in the hedging position.

xix. Taxes on Income

Tax expense comprises current income and deferred income 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.

Deferred tax: Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be utilized.

xx. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

xxi. Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated in order

to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets are also allocated to individual cashgenerating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

Provisions & Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognized in respect of obligations where, based on the evidence available, their existence at the balance sheet date is considered probable. Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of Notes on accounts in respect of obligation where, based on the evidence available, their existence at the balance sheet date is considered not probable. Contingent assets are not recognized in the accounts.

xxii. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to financial assets and liabilities [other

than financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)] are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities, as appropriate on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to acquisition of financial assets or liabilities measured at FVTPL are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

1. Non-derivative Financial assets:

All regular purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in market place.

2. Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to life time ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss.

3. Foreign exchange gains and losses

The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.

For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in statement of profit and loss except for those which are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship.

For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortised cost are recognised in the statement of

profit and loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities

1. Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for de-recognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company, and commitments issued by the Company to provide a loan at below-market interest rate are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.

2. Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in statement of profit and loss. The net gain or loss recognised in statement of profit and loss

incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the ''Other income/other expenses'' line item.

3. Foreign exchange gains and losses

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
