Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Basis of accounting & preparation of financial statements

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act’) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain Financial Assets/Liabilities (including derivative instruments) which have been measured at fair values.

2.2 Property, plant and equipment acquired separately & Depreciation

Freehold land is stated at cost and not depreciated.

Plant and Equipments and furniture are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and capital work in progress) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

The estimated useful lives are as given below:

Type of asset

Useful life

Plant & Machinery

15 years

Furniture & fixtures

10 years

Vehicles

8 years

Office Equipments

5 years

Impairment of tangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its 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 asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.

If the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Estimated useful life of intangible assets is 6 years for Computer Software.

2.3 Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories is determined on FIFO basis.

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Obsolete, defective and slow/non-moving stocks are duly provided for.

2.4 Provisions (other than employee benefits)

A provision is recognised when as a result of past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation which can be reliably estimated and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation.

Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

2.5 Financial instruments

2.5.1 Initial recognition & measurement:

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

At initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value, except for trade receivables and payables which are measured at their transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss

2.5.2 Subsequent measurement of financial assets:

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “Other income” line item.

2.5.3 Impairment of financial assets

For Trade receivables, the Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The Company computes expected credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.

2.5.4 Financial Liabilities

All financial liabilities (other than derivative financial instruments) are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method where applicable. Interest expense is included in the "Finance costs" line item.

2.5.5 Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the Company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company derecognises a financial liability (or a part of financial liability) when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

2.5.6 Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as currency options or foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risks.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the contracts are entered into. Subsequent to initial recognition, these contracts are measured at fair value and changes are recognised in profit or loss.

2.6 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/loss before extraordinary items and tax for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments. Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise of cash at bank & cash in hand, as reduced by bank overdrafts (if any).

2.7 Employee benefits

Employee benefits include Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund, Employee State Insurance Scheme, Gratuity Fund, Compensated Absences, Anniversary Awards, Premature Death Pension Scheme and Total Disability Pension Scheme.

2.7.1 Defined contribution plans

The Company’s contribution to Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.

2.7.2 Defined benefit plans

For Defined Benefit Plans in the form of Gratuity Fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest) is reflected immediately in the Balance Sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised immediately for both vested and the non-vested portion. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited taking into account the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes.

2.7.3 Short term and other long term employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave in the period in which the related service is rendered, at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

2.8. Taxation:

i. Current tax: The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using applicable tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other tax laws, as applicable.

ii. Deferred tax: Deferred tax is recognised 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 recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised 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 utilised.

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 recovered.

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 realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

iii. Current & Deferred tax for the year: Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

2.9. Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is recognised at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied and control of promised goods is transferred to customers, for an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods.

Revenue is based on the transaction price which is the consideration taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government, except otherwise mentioned. Thus, it excludes Sales Tax/VAT/Goods and Services Tax (GST). It is measured at transaction price, net of returns, rebates and discounts.

Claims which are not of material nature/insurance claims etc. are accounted for when no significant uncertainties are attached to their eventual receipt. Negotiated price reduction obtained from supplier is accounted for as a part of ''Other operating revenue''.

2.10 Foreign currency:

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items (including financial assets and liabilities) denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated. Gains or losses arising from these translations are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.11 Earnings Per Share:

In determining the earnings per share, the Company considers the net profit after tax and post tax effect of any extra-ordinary/exceptional item is shown separately. The number of shares considered in computing basic earnings per share is the number of shares outstanding at the end of the year.

2.12 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation of uncertainty

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires Management i.e. the Directors of the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
