The Company records the gain or loss on effective hedges, if any, in the Hedging Reserve Account until the transaction are complete. On completion,the gain or loss is transferred to the Profit and Loss Account of that period. To designate a forward contract as an effective hede, the management objectively evalutes evidence with appropriate supporting documents at the inception of each contract whether the contract is effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. In the absence of a designation as effective hedge, a gain or loss is recognized in the Profit and Loss Account. Currently hedge undertaken by the Company are all ineffective in nature and the resultant gain or loss consequent to fair valuation is recognized in the profit and Loss Account at each reporting date. The company has outstanding foreign exchange forward contract aggregating Rs. 3.59 (Previous year Rs. 16.23) Crores. Although this contract is effective as hedge from an economic perspective , they do not qulify for hedge accounting due to ineffectiveness in nature and accordingly these are accounted as derivatives instruments at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Profit and Loss Account.
