Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
the obligation. When the Company expects some or all
of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an
insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as
a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is
presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any
reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that
reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Decommissioning liability
The Company records a provision for decommissioning
costs associated with the premises taken on lease.
Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value
of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated
cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of
the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a
current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the
decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount
is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement
of profit and loss as a finance cost. The estimated future
costs of decommissio B45ning are reviewed annually
and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated
future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or
deducted from the cost of the asset.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation arising 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 or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but
is not recognized because;
- it is not probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation, or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be
measured with sufficient reliability.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability
but discloses its existence and other required disclosures
in notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility
of any outflow in settlement is remote.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are
reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to
a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, and
subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value
through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value
through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition
depends on the financial asset''s contractual cash flow
characteristics and the Company''s business model for
managing them. With the exception of trade receivables
that do not contain a significant financing component or
for which the Company has applied the practical expedient,
the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair
value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables
that do not contain a significant financing component or
for which the Company has applied the practical expedient
are measured at the transaction price determined under
Ind AS 115. Refer to the accounting policies in section (g)
Revenue from contracts with customers.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured
at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give
rise to cash flows that are ''solely payments of principal and
interest (SPPI)'' on the principal amount outstanding. This
assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed
at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows
that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value
through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Company''s business model for managing financial
assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order
to generate cash flows. The business model determines
whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual
cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial
assets classified and measured at amortised cost are
held within a business model with the objective to hold
financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows
while financial assets classified and measured at fair value
through OCI are held within a business model with the
objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows
and selling.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets
are classified in four categories:
i. Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
ii. Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI) with recycling of
cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
iii. Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI
with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses
upon derecognition (equity instruments)
iv Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
i. Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
A ''financial asset'' is measured at the amortised cost if
both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual
cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount
outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to
impairment as per the accounting policy applicable
to ''Impairment of financial assets.'' Amortised cost
is calculated by taking into account any discount or
premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are
an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is
included in other income in the profit or loss. The
losses arising from impairment are recognised in
the profit or loss. The Company''s financial assets
at amortised cost includes trade receivables, and
loan to an associate and loan to a director included
under other non-current financial assets. For more
information on financial assets, refer note 6 and for
receivables, refer note 10.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI) with recycling of
cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
A ''financial asset'' is classified as at the FVTOCI if
both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved
both by collecting contractual cash flows and
selling the financial assets, and
b) The asset''s contractual cash flows represent
SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI
category are measured initially as well as at each
reporting date at fair value. For debt instruments,
at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign
exchange revaluation and impairment losses or
reversals are recognised in the profit or loss and
computed in the same manner as for financial assets
measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value
changes are recognised in OCI. Upon derecognition,
the cumulative fair value changes recognised in OCI
is reclassified from the equity to profit or loss.
The Company''s debt instruments at fair value through
OCI includes investments in quoted debt instruments
included under other non-current financial assets.
iii. Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI
with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses
upon derecognition (equity instruments)
Upon initial recognition, the Company can elect to
classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity
instruments designated at fair value through OCI
when they meet the definition of equity under Ind
AS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation for the
issuer and are not held for trading. The classification
is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Equity investment which are held for trading and
contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer
in a business combination to which Ind AS 103
applies are classified as at FVTPL.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never
recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as
other income in the statement of profit and loss when
the right of payment has been established, except
when the Company benefits from such proceeds as
a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset,
in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity
instruments designated at fair value through OCI are
not subject to impairment assessment.
iv. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets in this category are those that are
held for trading and have been either designated
by management upon initial recognition or are
mandatorily required to be measured at fair value
under Ind AS 109 i.e. they do not meet the criteria
for classification as measured at amortised cost or
FVOCI. Management only designates an instrument
at FVTPL upon initial recognition, if the designation
eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent
treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring
the assets or liabilities or recognising gains or losses
on them on a different basis. Such designation is
determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
For the Company, this category includes derivative
instruments and listed equity investments which
the Company had not irrevocably elected to classify
at fair value through OCI. The Company has not
designated any financial assets at FVTPL.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with net
changes in fair value recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.
Interest earned on instruments designated at FVTPL
is accrued in interest income, using the EIR, taking
into account any discount/ premium and qualifying
transaction costs being an integral part of instrument.
Interest earned on assets mandatorily required to be
measured at FVTPL is recorded using the contractual
interest rate. Dividend income on listed equity
investments are recognised in the statement of profit
and loss as other income when the right of payment
has been established.
De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a
financial asset) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed
from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
a. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset
have expired, or
b. The Company has transferred its rights to receive
cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full
without material delay to a third party under
a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either (i)
the Company has transferred substantially all
the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the
Company has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to
receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into
a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to
what extent it has retained the risks and rewards
of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of
the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
Company continues to recognise the transferred
asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing
involvement. In that case, the Company also
recognises an associated liability. The transferred
asset and the associated liability are measured on a
basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the
Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a
guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at
the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset
and the maximum amount of consideration that the
Company could be required to repay.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition,
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives
designated as hedging instruments in an effective
hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair
value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and
payables, net of directly attributable transaction
costs.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and
other payables, loans and borrowings including
bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and
derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial
liabilities are classified in two categories:
⢠Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss
⢠Financial liabilities at amortised cost (loans and
borrowings)
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss include financial liabilities held for trading and
financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition
as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if
they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in
the near term. This category also includes derivative
financial instruments entered into by the Company
that are not designated as hedging instruments
in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109.
Separated embedded derivatives are also classified
as held for trading unless they are designated as
effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are
recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are designated upon initial
recognition as at fair value through profit or loss
only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For
liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/
losses attributable to changes in own credit risk
are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are not
subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the
Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss
within equity. All other changes in fair value of such
liability are recognised in the statement of profit and
loss. The Company has not designated any financial
liability as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost (Loans and
borrowings)
This is the category most relevant to the Company.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are
derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation
process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account
any discount or premium on acquisition and fees
or cost that are an integral part of the EIR. The
EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced
by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an exchange or
modification is treated as the derecognition of the
original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and
the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset
the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously.
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses derivative financial instruments,
such as forward currency contracts to hedge its
foreign currency risks arising from highly probable
future forecasted sales. This derivative financial
instrument are designated in a cash flow hedge
relationship. Such derivative financial instruments
are initially recognised at fair value on the date on
which a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives
are carried as financial assets when the fair value is
positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value
is negative.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the
Company formally designates and documents the
hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to
apply hedge accounting and the risk management
objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes the Company''s risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking
hedge, the hedging/ economic relationship, the
hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk
being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will
assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging
instrument''s fair value in offsetting the exposure
to changes in the hedged item''s fair value or cash
flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges
are expected to be highly effective in achieving
offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed
on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually
have been highly effective throughout the financial
reporting periods for which they were designated.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the
hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash
flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair
value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss,
except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges,
which is recognised in OCI and later reclassified to
profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or
loss and is reclassified to underlying hedged item.
In accordance with Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments,
the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model
for measurement and recognition of impairment loss for
financial assets.
The Company tracks credit risk and changes thereon for
each customer. For recognition of impairment loss on
other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company
determines that whether there has been a significant
increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If
credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL
is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit
risk has increased significantly, life time ECL is used. If
in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument
improves such that there is no longer a significant increase
in risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts
to recognising impairment loss allowance based on
12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows
that are due to the Company in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to
receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original
EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required
to consider:
- All contractual terms of the financial instrument
over the expected life of the financial instrument.
However, in rare cases when the expected life of the
financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably,
then the entity is required to use the remaining
contractual term of the financial instrument.
- Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or
other credit enhancements that are integral to the
contractual terms.
The Company uses default rate for credit risk to determine
impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade
receivables.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized
during the period is recognized as income/ expense in
the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected
under the head ''other expenses'' in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. The balance sheet presentation for various
financial instruments is described below:
a. Financial assets measured as at amortised
cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease
receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as
an integral part of the measurement of those assets
in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net
carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off
criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment
allowance from the gross carrying amount.
b. Loan commitments and financial guarantee
contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the
balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
c. Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial
assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment
allowance is not further reduced from its value.
Rather, ECL amount is presented as ''accumulated
impairment amount'' in the OCI.
The Company applies approach permitted by Ind AS
109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of
receivables.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial
assets and risk exposure, the Company determines
whether there has been a significant increase in the credit
risk since initial recognition and if credit risk has increased
significantly, impairment loss is provided.
The Company measures financial instruments, such as,
derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability
takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be
accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using
the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market
participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes
into account a market participant''s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and
best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, maximising the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use
of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial
statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the
hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurements as a whole) at the end of each reporting
period.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant
assets, such as properties and unquoted financial assets,
and significant liabilities, such as contingent consideration.
Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually
by the management. Selection criteria include market
knowledge, reputation, independence and whether
professional standards are maintained. The management
decides, after discussions with the Company''s external
valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for
each case.
At each reporting date, the management analyses the
movements in the values of assets and liabilities which
are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the
Company''s accounting policies. For this analysis, the
Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest
valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation
computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Management also compares the change in the fair
value of each asset and liability with relevant external
sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
On an interim basis, the Management present the valuation
results to the Audit Committee and the Company''s
independent auditors. This includes a discussion of the
major assumptions used in the valuations.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise
cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with
an original maturity of three months or less, which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, Cash and
cash equivalent consist of cash at banks and on hand and
short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding
bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of
the Company''s cash management.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent
with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The Company is engaged in the
Technology Services and Solutions, which constitutes its
single reportable segment.
s) Earnings per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss
for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as
a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are
entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid
equity share during the reporting period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the
period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue that
have changed the number of equity shares outstanding,
without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to equity shareholders of the Company
(after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference
shares, if any) by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted
average number of equity shares that would be issued on
conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into
equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period, unless
issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are
determined independently for each period presented.
t) Business combinations
Business combinations between entities under common
control is accounted for at carrying value under the
provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations.
Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection
with a business combination such as finders'' fees, legal
fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and
consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
u) Share-based payments
Employees (including senior executives) of the Company
receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments,
whereby employees render services as consideration for
equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by
the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an
appropriate valuation model. Further details are given in
Note 40.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding
increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity,
over the period in which the performance and/or service
conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense.
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled
transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date
reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired
and the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit
in the statement of profit and loss for a period represents
the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at
the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in
employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not
taken into account when determining the grant date fair
value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being
met is assessed as part of the Company''s best estimate of
the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
Market performance conditions are reflected within the
grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to
an award, but without an associated service requirement,
are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting
conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and
lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there
are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately
vest because non-market performance and/or service
conditions have not been met. Where awards include
a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are
treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or
non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other
performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified,
the minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair
value of the unmodified award, provided the original
vesting terms of the award are met. An additional expense,
measured as at the date of modification, is recognised
for any modification that increases the total fair value
of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise
beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by
the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element
of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately
through profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as
additional share dilution in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for
sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally
through a sale rather than through continuing use.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured
at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less
costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly
attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance
costs and income tax expense.
The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as
met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset
is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
Actions required to complete the sale should indicate
that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will
be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn.
Management must be committed to the sale and the sale
expected within one year from the date of classification.
For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of
non-current assets for other non-current assets when the
exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held
for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets
is available for immediate sale in its present condition,
subject only to terms that are usual and customary for
sales of such assets, its sale is highly probable; and it will
genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats
sale of the asset to be highly probable when:
The appropriate level of management is committed to a
plan to sell the asset
An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the
plan has been initiated (if applicable)
The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that
is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a
completed sale within one year from the date of
classification, and
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is
unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made
or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible are not
depreciated, or amortised assets once classified as held
for sale.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented
separately from other items in the balance sheet.
w) Events after the reporting period
If the Company receives information after the reporting
period, but prior to the date of approved for issue, about
conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period,
it will assess whether the information affects the amounts
that it recognises in its separate financial statements.
The Company will adjust the amounts recognised in its
financial statements to reflect any adjusting events after
the reporting period and update the disclosures that
relate to those conditions in light of the new information.
For non-adjusting events after the reporting period, the
Company will not change the amounts recognised in its
separate financial statements but will disclose the nature
of the non-adjusting event and an estimate of its financial
effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be
made, if applicable.
There are no new accounting policies applied during the
current year and accounting policies are consistent from
previous year.
The Company applied for the first-time certain standards
and amendments, which are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after April 1,2024. The Company has not
early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment
that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the
Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification
dated August 12, 2024, under the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules,
2024, which is effective from annual reporting
periods beginning on or after April 1, 2024.
Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive
new accounting standard for insurance contracts
covering recognition and measurement, presentation
and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104
Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of
insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities
that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and
financial instruments with discretionary participation
features; a few scope exceptions will apply. Ind AS
117 is based on a general model, supplemented by:
- A specific adaptation for contracts with
direct participation features (the variable fee
approach)
- A simplified approach (the premium allocation
approach) mainly for short-duration contracts
The application of Ind AS 117 does not have
material impact on the Company''s separate financial
statements as the Company has not entered any
contracts in the nature of insurance contracts
covered under Ind AS 117.
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which
amend Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease
Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
The amendment specifies the requirements that
a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability
arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure
the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of
the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it
retains.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after April 1, 2024 and
must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback
transactions entered into after the date of initial
application of Ind AS 116.
The application of amendment to Ind AS 116 does
not have material impact on the Company''s separate
financial statements as the Company has not entered
into any sale and leaseback transactions covered
under Ind AS 116.
There are no standards that are notified and not yet
effective as on the date.
The Company considers climate-related matters in
estimates and assumptions, where appropriate. This
assessment includes a wide range of possible impacts
on the Company due to both physical and transition
risks. Even though climate-related risks might not
currently have a significant impact on measurement,
the Company is closely monitoring relevant changes

rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e., by geographical
region and customer type). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable
and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future
economic conditions. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial
assets disclosed in note 34.

Advance from customers pertain to balance received as advance from various parties as certain percentage of the order value. The same will be adjusted against the order on the basis of delivery and collection of receivables.
The performance obligation is satisfied upon the providing of services as and when rendered. The Company has applied practical expedient and has not disclosed information about remaining performance obligations in contracts, where the original contract duration is one year or less or where the entity has the right to consideration that corresponds directly with the value of entity''s performance completed to date. Consequently, disclosure related to transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligation is not material.
20.4 There is no difference in the contract price negotiated and the revenue recognised in the statement of profit and loss. There is no significant revenue recognised in the current year from performance obligations satisfied in previous years.
27 Loss per share (EPS) (basic and diluted)
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the parent (after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares) by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential Equity shares into Equity shares.
For the purpose of computaiton of diluted EPS for the year ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023, the effect of stock options granted under ESOP scheme have not been considered as the effect of these potentially diluted equity shares are anti-dilutive.
(a) As the future liability for gratuity is provided on an actuarial basis for the Company as a whole, the amount pertaining to individual is not ascertainable and therefore not included above.
(b) Total employee benefit expense includes employee stock compensation expense of '' 389.05 lakhs (31 March 2023 -'' 396.29 lakhs) for Mr. Arun Krishnamurthi, and '' 291.79 lakhs (31 March 2023 - '' 297.21 lakhs) for Mr. Shashidhar SK, respectively included in the employee stock option scheme expense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss account.
i. Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free and settlement occurs in cash. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables. For the year ended 31 March 2024, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties (31 March 2023: nil). This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.
ii. Loan to its subsidiary
The loan granted to Explosoft Tech Solutions Private Limited is intended for the purpose of meeting their working capital requirements. The loan is unsecured and repayable in full on 5 January 2025 and 17 April 2026. Interest is charged at 10%-11.5% per annum. The loan has been utilized for the purpose it was granted.

The Corporate Guarantee outstanding as at March 31, 2024 is '' 10,500 lakhs.
29 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
Company as a lessee
The Company has lease contracts for immovable properties and computers. These leases are for a period ranging from three to nine years.The Company''s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor''s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Company is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. These lease contracts include extension and termination options.
The Company also has certain leases of computers with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company applies the ''shortterm lease'' recognition exemptions for these leases.
Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets recognised and the movements during the year:
The Company had total cash outflows for leases of ''1,557.32 lakhs for the year ended 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: ''1,287.76 lakhs). The Company has made non-cash additions of ''1,178.04 lakhs (31 March 2023: ''2,102.26 lakhs) and ''1,099.45 lakhs (31 March 2023: ''2,010.23 lakhs) to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, respectively. There are no future cash outflows relating to leases that have not yet commenced.
The Company has certain lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio and align with the Company''s business needs. Management exercises significant judgement in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised
30 Capital and other commitments
As at 31 March 2024, the Company has a commitment of '' 96.67 lakhs (31 March 2023: '' 51.13 lakhs).
For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank/ financial institution to immediately call loans and borrowings. There has been breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period and the Company has taken the waiver letter from the bank (refer note 15(b)).
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt interest bearing loans and borrowings, lease liabilities, less Cash and cash equivalent.
There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended 31 March 2023.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Management assessed that the fair value of Cash and cash equivalent, trade receivables, loans, other financial assets, trade payables and working capital loans approximate the carrying amount largely due to short-term maturity of these instruments.
Valuation technique used to determine fair value of derivative contracts
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts and Currency options are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates of the underlying commodity. As at 31 March 2024, the mark-to-market value of other derivative asset positions is net of a credit valuation adjustment attributable to derivative counterparty default risk. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.
The Corporate finance team has requisite knowledge and skills. The team headed by the Company CFO directly reports to the audit committee to arrive at the fair value of financial instruments.
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on it''s financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange exposure risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer.
The Company''s risk management activity focuses on actively securing the Company''s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to volatile financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.
The Company does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The Company only deals with parties which has good credit rating/ worthiness.
Financial assets that are not credit impaired
The Company has financial assets which are in the nature of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loans, security deposits, interest accrued on fixed deposits and other receivables which are not credit impaired. These are contractually agreed where the probability of default is negligible.
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an internal assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e., by geographical region and customer type). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables are written-off if past due for more than one year except receivables from related parties and are not subject to enforcement activity. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 33. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company is considerate of the fact the majority of the collection is receivable from export customers with high credit worthiness where there is no significant risk of bad debts. The customers of the Company have a defined period for payment of receivables, hence the Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low. The Company considers receivables from group company separately and creates provision for doubtful debts on case to case basis.
The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalent and the cash flow that is generated from operations. As of 31 March 2024, the Company has the positive working capital of '' 7,313.94 lakhs (31 March 2023: negative working capital '' 8,718.60 lakhs) including purchase consideration payable on acquisition of Mistral Solutions Private Limited and Epcogen private limited of '' 658.46 lakhs (31 March 2023: '' 125.13 lakhs) and cash and cash equivalent of '' 1,693.53 lakhs (31 March 2023: '' 1,665.01 lakhs).
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risk, which result from both its operating, financing and investing activities.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The Company operates internationally and a significant portion of the business is transacted in USD and EURO currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Company''s operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.
The following table details the Company''s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the ''against the relevant foreign currencies. 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year-end for a 1% change in foreign currency rates, with all other variables held constant and refer below for impact of change in foreign exchange rates on loss before tax of the Company.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank or a financial institution. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or in directly observable in the marketplace.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company''s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023, the Company does not have any long term debt obligations with floating interest rates, hence, is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
The Company invests in mutual funds schemes of leading fund houses. Such investments are suspectible to market price risks. However, given the short tenure of the underlying portfolio of the mutual fund shcemes in which the Company has invested, such price risk is not significant.
35 Defined benefit obligationsA Defined benefit contributionsIndia
The Company makes contribution to statutory provident fund as per Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1952 for its employees. This is a defined contribution plan as per Ind AS 19, Employee benefits. Contribution made during the year ended 31 March 2024 : '' 875.17 lakhs (31 March 2023 : '' 576.03 lakhs)
Overseas social security
The Company makes a contribution towards social security charges for its employees located at the respective branch offices in respective foreign geographies, that are defined contribution plans. The contributions paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which the employee renders services in respective geographies. Contribution made during the year ended 31 March 2024 : '' 1,099.83 lakhs (31 March 2023 : '' 701.36 lakhs)
B Defined benefit plans
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan (unfunded). The Company has provided for gratuity, for its employees as per actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary on the Balance Sheet date. The valuation has been carried out using the Project Unit Credit Method as per Ind AS 19 to determine the present value of Defined Benefit Obligations and the related current service cost. This is a defined benefit plan as per Ind AS 19.
The gratuity plan is governed by the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). Employees are entitled to all the benefits enlisted under this Act.
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary overtime. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit which are as follows:
The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability as shown in financial statements.
b Liquidity risk
This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity pay-outs. This may arise due to non
availability of enough cash/cash equivalents to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time. c Salary escalation risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of employees in future. Deviation in the rate of interest in future for employees from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan''s liability.
d Demographic risk
The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
e Regulatory risk
Gratuity benefits are paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity pay-outs
The assumptions were developed by Management with the assistance of independent actuaries. Discount factors are determined close to each year-end by reference to market yields of Government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the gratuity obligation. Other assumptions are based on current actuarial benchmarks and Management''s historical experience.
A quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumption as at 31 March 2024 is as shown below:
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, attrition rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The following table summarizes the impact of change in the defined benefit obligation resulting from the specified percentage change in the aforementioned assumptions.
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.
There is no change in the method and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from previous years.
(v) Effect of plan on entity''s future cash flows
The scheme is managed on an unfunded basis and hence, no funding arrangements or future contributions are applicable. The weighted average duration of the plan is estimated to be 6 years for the year ended 31 March 2024 and 7 years for the year ended 31 March 2023 respectively. Following is a maturity profile of the defined benefit obligation as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023.
The Board of Directors of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by Ind AS 108, Operating Segments. The CODM evaluates the Company''s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of engineering services.
The Company is predominantly engaged in the business of Technology Services and Solutions, which constitutes a single business segment and is governed by similar set of risks and returns. The operations of the Company primarily cater to the market outside India, which the Management views as a single segment. The Management monitors the operating results of its single segment for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Two customers individually accounted for '' 17,771.63 lakhs and '' 3,561.66 lakhs respectively, which is more than 10% of the total revenue of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024 and two customers individually accounted for '' 14,396.97 lakhs and '' 3,319.84 lakhs respectively, which is more than 10% of the total revenue of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The Company is domiciled in India. The Company''s revenue from operations from external customers primarily relate to operations outside India. Revenue from customers located in India for the year ended 31 March 2024 amounts to '' 9,370.38 lakhs (31 March 2023: '' 7,436.94 lakhs) and from outside India for the year ended 31 March 2024 amounts to '' 25,932.06 lakhs (31 March 2023: '' 20,877.91 lakhs). Majority of the non-current assets of the Company are located in India.
38 The Code on Social Security, 2020 (''Code'') relating to employee benefits during employment and post employment benefits received Presidential assent in September 2020. The Code has been published in the Gazette of India. However, the date on which the Code will come into effect has not been notified and the final rules/interpretation have not yet been issued. The Company will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period the Code becomes effective. Based on a preliminary assessment, the entity believes the impact of the change will not be significant.
39 Share-based payments to employees Employee stock option scheme
The Company has two ESOP schemes titled "AXISCADES Employee Stock Option Plan- Series 1" and "AXISCADES Employee Stock Option Plan- Series 2" under which option to subscibe for the Company''s shares can be granted to certain executive and senior employees.
The fair value of the options granted is estimated using Black-Scholes model of pricing, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted.
Transfer Pricing regulations for computing the taxable income and expenditure from ''international transactions'' between ''associated enterprises'' on an ''arm''s length'' basis. These regulations, inter alia, also require the maintenance of prescribed documents and information including furnishing a report from an Accountant within due date of filing the Return of Income. The Company is in the process of updating the Transfer Pricing documentation for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 following a detailed transfer pricing study conducted for the financial year ended 31 March 2023. In the opinion of the Management, the same would not have an impact on these financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include the effect of the transfer pricing implications, if any.

Mar 31, 2023
Provisions and contingencies
Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the
Company has a present legal or constructive obligation
that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money
is material, provisions are determined by discounting the
expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
interest expense.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises
from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the
Company or a present obligation that is not recognised
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation or it cannot be
measured with sufficient reliability. The Company does not
recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence
in the financial statements.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed.
However, when realisation of income is virtually certain,
related asset is recognised.
Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are
recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous
contract is considered to exist where the Company has
a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting
the obligations under the contract exceed the economic
benefits expected to be received from the contract.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to
a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value and
transaction cost that is attributable to the acquisition of
the financial asset is also adjusted.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets
are classified in four categories:
i. Debt instruments at amortised cost;
ii. Debt instruments at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
iii. Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments
at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and
iv. Equity investments.
i. Debt instruments at amortised cost
A ''debt instrument'' is measured at the amortised
cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model
whose objective is to hold assets for collecting
contractual cash flows; and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on
specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the
principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the
Company. After initial measurement, such
financial assets are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate
(EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an
integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation
is included in finance income in the Statement
of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from
impairment are recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. This category generally applies
to trade and other receivables.
ii. Debt instrument at FVTOCI
A ''debt instrument'' is classified as at the FVTOCI if
both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved
both by collecting contractual cash flows and
selling the financial assets; and
b) The asset''s contractual cash flows represent
SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI
category are measured initially as well as at
each reporting date at fair value. Fair value
movements are recognized in the other
comprehensive income (OCI). However,
the Company recognizes interest income,
impairment losses and reversals and foreign
exchange gain or loss in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. On derecognition of the asset,
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in
OCI is reclassified from the equity to Statement
of Profit and Loss. Interest earned whilst holding
FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest
income using the EIR method.
iii. Debt instrument at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments.
Any debt instrument, which does not meet the
criteria for categorization as at amortized cost
or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to
designate a debt instrument, which otherwise
meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at
FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if
doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement
or recognition inconsistency (referred to as
''accounting mismatch''). The Company has not
designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL
category are measured at fair value with all
changes recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
iv. Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109,
Financial Instruments, are measured at fair value.
Equity instruments which are held for trading
and contingent consideration recognised
by an acquirer in a business combination to
which Ind AS 103 Business Combinations,
applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other
equity instruments, the Company may make
an irrevocable election to present in other
comprehensive income subsequent changes
in the fair value. The Company makes such
election on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
The classification is made on initial recognition
and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity
instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value
changes on the instrument, excluding dividends,
are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling
of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit
and Loss, even on sale of investment. However,
the Company may transfer the cumulative gain
or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL
category are measured at fair value with all
changes recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a
financial asset) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed
from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
a. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset
have expired, or
b. The Company has transferred its rights to receive
cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full
without material delay to a third party under
a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either (i)
the Company has transferred substantially all
the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the
Company has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to
receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into
a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to
what extent it has retained the risks and rewards
of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of
the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
Company continues to recognise the transferred
asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing
involvement. In that case, the Company also
recognises an associated liability. The transferred
asset and the associated liability are measured on a
basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the
Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a
guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at
the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset
and the maximum amount of consideration that the
Company could be required to repay.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans
and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as
hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value
and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other
payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts,
financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial
instruments.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their
classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value
through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as
held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of
repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes
derivative financial instruments entered into by the
Company that are not designated as hedging instruments
in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109, Financial
Instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are
recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at
fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at
the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind
AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL,
fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own
credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not
subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss.
However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain
or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such
liability are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company has not designated any financial liability as
at fair value through profit and loss.
Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After
initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss
when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through
the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any
discount or premium on acquisition and fees or cost that
are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is
included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation
under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms, or
the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified,
such an exchange or modification is treated as the
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition
of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the
net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a
currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,
to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments and Hedge
accounting
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such
as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency
risks arising from highly probable future forecasted sales.
This derivative financial instrument are designated in a
cash flow hedge relationship. Such derivative financial
instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the
date on which a derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are
carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive
and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company
formally designates and documents the hedge relationship
to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting
and the risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the
Company''s risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking hedge, the hedging/ economic relationship,
the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk
being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess
the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument''s
fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the
hedged item''s fair value or cash flows attributable to
the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly
effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and
are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they
actually have been highly effective throughout the financial
reporting periods for which they were designated.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging
instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash flow hedge
reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised
immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value
of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss, except
for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which
is recognised in OCI and later reclassified to profit or
loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss and is
reclassified to underlying hedged item.
p) Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments,
the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model
for measurement and recognition of impairment loss for
financial assets.
The Company tracks credit risk and changes thereon for
each customer. For recognition of impairment loss on
other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company
determines that whether there has been a significant
increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If
credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL
is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit
risk has increased significantly, life time ECL is used. If
in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument
improves such that there is no longer a significant increase
in risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts
to recognising impairment loss allowance based on
12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows
that are due to the Company in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to
receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original
EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required
to consider:
- All contractual terms of the financial instrument
over the expected life of the financial instrument.
However, in rare cases when the expected life of the
financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably,
then the entity is required to use the remaining
contractual term of the financial instrument.
- Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or
other credit enhancements that are integral to the
contractual terms.
The Company uses default rate for credit risk to determine
impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade
receivables.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized
during the period is recognized as income/ expense in
the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected
under the head ''other expenses'' in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. The balance sheet presentation for various
financial instruments is described below:
a. Financial assets measured as at amortised
cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease
receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as
an integral part of the measurement of those assets
in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net
carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off
criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment
allowance from the gross carrying amount.
b. Loan commitments and financial guarantee
contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the
balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
c. Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial
assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment
allowance is not further reduced from its value.
Rather, ECL amount is presented as ''accumulated
impairment amount'' in the OCI.
The Company applies approach permitted by Ind AS
109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of
receivables.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial
assets and risk exposure, the Company determines
whether there has been a significant increase in the credit
risk since initial recognition and if credit risk has increased
significantly, impairment loss is provided.
The Company measures financial instruments, such as,
derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability
takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be
accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using
the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market
participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes
into account a market participant''s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and
best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data are available to measure fair value, maximising the
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use
of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial
statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the
hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurements as a whole) at the end of each reporting
period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company
has determined the classes of assets and liabilities on the
basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset
or liabilities and the level of the fair value hierarchy as
explained above.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant
assets, such as properties and unquoted financial assets,
and significant liabilities, such as contingent consideration.
Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually
by the Management. Selection criteria include market
knowledge, reputation, independence and whether
professional standards are maintained. The Management
decides, after discussions with the Company''s external
valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for
each case.
At each reporting date, the Management analyses the
movements in the values of assets and liabilities which
are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the
Company''s accounting policies. For this analysis, the
Management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest
valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation
computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
The Management also compares the change in the fair
value of each asset and liability with relevant external
sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
On an interim basis, the Management present the valuation
results to the Audit Committee and the Company''s
independent auditors. This includes a discussion of the
major assumptions used in the valuations.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has
determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability
and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise
cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with
an original maturity of three months or less, which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, Cash and
cash equivalent consist of cash at banks and on hand and
short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding
bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of
the Company''s cash management.
s) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent
with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. The Company is engaged in the
Technology Services and Solutions, which constitutes its
single reportable segment.
t) Earnings per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss
for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as
a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are
entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid
equity share during the reporting period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the
period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue that
have changed the number of equity shares outstanding,
without a corresponding change in resources.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to equity shareholders of the Company
(after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference
shares, if any) by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted
average number of equity shares that would be issued on
conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into
equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period, unless
issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are
determined independently for each period presented.
u) Business combinations
Business combinations between entities under common
control is accounted for at carrying value under the
provisions of Ind AS 103, Business Combinations.
Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection
with a business combination such as finders'' fees, legal
fees, due diligence fees, and other professional and
consulting fees are expensed as incurred.
v) Share-based payments
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by
the fair value at the date when the grant is made using
an appropriate valuation model. That cost is recognised,
together with a corresponding increase in share-based
payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in
which the performance and/or service conditions are
fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The dilutive effect
of outstanding options is reflected as additional share
dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
w) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure
CSR expenditure as per provisions of Section 135 of
the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies
(Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014, is
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as expense as
and when incurred.
2(ii) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
There are no new accounting policies applied during the
current year
2(iii) New and amended standards
The Company applied for the first-time certain standards
and amendments, which are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 April 2022. The Company has not
early adopted any other standard or amendment that has
been issued but is not yet effective:
(i) Ind AS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds
before Intended Use
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies
(Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules 2022
dated 23 March 2022,which is effective from 1 April 2022
to amend the Ind AS 16 to clarify that excess of net sale
proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any,
shall not be recognised in the profit or loss but deducted
from the directly attributable costs considered as part of
cost of an item of property, plant, and equipment.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2022. These
amendments had no impact on the standalone financial
statements of the company as there were no sales of such
items produced by property, plant and equipment made
available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest
period presented.
(ii) Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments - Fees in the ''10 per
cent'' test for derecognition of financial liabilities
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies
(Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules 2022
dated 23 March 2022, which is effective from 1 April 2022
to amend the Ind AS 109 to clarify the fees that an entity
includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or
modified financial liability are substantially different from
the terms of the original financial liability. These fees
include only those paid or received between the borrower
and the lender, including fees paid or received by either
the borrower or lender on the other''s behalf.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 April 2022.These amendments
had no impact on the standalone financial statements of
the company as there were no modifications/exchange''s
of the Company financial instruments during the period.
(iii) Ind AS 37 - Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a
Contract
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies
(Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules 2022
dated 23 March 2022,which is effective from 1 April 2022
to clarify that an onerous contract is a contract under
which the unavoidable of meeting the obligations under
the contract costs (i.e., the costs that the Company cannot
avoid because it has the contract) exceed the economic
benefits expected to be received under it.
The amendments specify that when assessing whether
a contract is onerous or loss-making, an entity needs to
include costs that relate directly to a contract to provide
goods or services including both incremental costs (e.g.,
the costs of direct labour and materials) and an allocation
of costs directly related to contract activities (e.g.,
depreciation of equipment used to fulfil the contract and
costs of contract management and supervision). General
and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract
and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to
the counterparty under the contract.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 April 2022.These amendments
had no impact on the standalone financial statements of
the company as there were no contracts for which the
Company has not yet fulfilled all of its obligations.
(iv) Ind AS 103 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework
The amendments replaced the reference to the ICAI''s
"Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of
Financial Statements under Indian Accounting Standards"
with the reference to the "Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standard"
without significantly changing its requirements.
The amendments also added an exception to the
recognition principle of Ind AS 103 Business Combinations
to avoid the issue of potential ''day 2'' gains or losses arising
for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within
the scope of Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities
and Contingent Assets or Appendix C, Levies, of Ind AS
37, if incurred separately. The exception requires entities
to apply the criteria in Ind AS 37 or Appendix C, Levies,
of Ind AS 37, respectively, instead of the Conceptual
Framework, to determine whether a present obligation
exists at the acquisition date.
The amendments also add a new paragraph to Ind AS
103 to clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for
recognition at the acquisition date.
These amendments had no impact on the standalone
financial statements of the Company as there were no
contingent assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities within
the scope of these amendments that arose during the
period.
2(iv) Standards notified but not yet effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023
dated 31 March 2023 to amend the following Ind AS
which are effective from 01 April 2023.

in accounting estimates and changes in accounting
policies and the correction of errors. It has also been
clarified how entities use measurement techniques and
inputs to develop accounting estimates.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023 and apply to
changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting
estimates that occur on or after the start of that period.
The amendments are not expected to have a material
impact on the standalone financial statements.
(ii) Ind AS 1 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies
The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting
policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the
requirement for entities to disclose their ''significant''
accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their
''material'' accounting policies and adding guidance on
how entities apply the concept of materiality in making
decisions about accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments to Ind AS 1 are applicable for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023. Consequential
amendments have been made in Ind AS 107.
The Company is currently revisiting their accounting policy
information disclosures to ensure consistency with the
amended requirements.
(iii) Ind AS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and
Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition
exception under Ind AS 12, so that it no longer applies to
transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible
temporary differences.
The amendments should be applied to transactions that
occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative
period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the
earliest comparative period presented, a deferred tax
asset (provided that sufficient taxable profit is available)
and a deferred tax liability should also be recognised
for all deductible and taxable temporary differences
associated with leases and decommissioning obligations.
Consequential amendments have been made in Ind AS
101. The amendments to Ind AS 12 are applicable for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023.

Significant valuation input:
Price per square metre : Rs. 104,618
Building:
Fair value of building was determined by using the depreciated replacement cost method. Gross current replacement cost of each structure is assessed after considering different factors. According to the specifications and use of the building, its economical life is estimated and depreciation of construction by straight line method is calculated to arrive at the depreciated replacement cost of construction. As at the date of fair valuation, the propertiesâ fair values are based on valuations performed by RSBA Valuation Advisors LLP, an accredited independent valuer who has relevant valuation experience for similar office properties in India.

c) Loan covenants
Term loan from banks contain certain financial covenants such as debt service coverage ratio, total debt as a percentage of total net-worth etc. The Company has satisfied all other debt covenants prescribed in the terms of bank loan except debt service coverage ratio. The Management is of the view that this is a minor breach and hence no adjustments are made to standalone Ind AS financial statements in this respect.
Asset retirement obligation
The Company has recognised a provision for asset retirement obligation associated with premises taken on lease. In determining the fair value of the provision, assumptions and estimates are made in relation to the discount rates, the expected cost to dismantle and remove furniture and fixtures from the leased premises and the expected timing of these costs. The carrying amount of the provision as at 31 March 2018 is Rs. 19.24 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 22.84 lakhs; 1 April 2016 : Rs. 20.18 lakhs). The Company estimates the costs would be realised within 4 - 5 years time upon the expiration of the lease and calculates the provision using the DCF method based on the following assumptions:
2. ScHEME OF amalgamation (âSCHEMEâ)
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 14 August 2015, had approved the acquisition of AXISCADES Aerospace & Technologies Private Limited (âACATâ), an aerospace, defence and homeland security technologies company by way of a Scheme of Amalgamation of India Aviation Training Institute Private Limited (âIATâ) with the Company. ACAT is a 100% subsidiary of IAT. The appointed date of the Scheme was 1 April 2016 and was subject to the approval of the majority of the shareholders and creditors of the Company and IAT, the Honâble High Court and the permission and approval of any other statutory or regulatory authorities, as applicable.
(b) Consequent to the approval of the Scheme of Amalgamation u/s 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 for the amalgamation of IAT with the Company, by the Honâble High Court of Karnataka on 4 November 2016, and effected on 5 December 2016 (effective date), being the date of filing with the Registrar of Companies, all the assets, liabilities and reserves of IAT were transferred to and vested in the Company with effect from 1 April 2016, the appointed date.
(c) Pursuant to the Scheme, the shareholders of IAT were eligible to receive 10 equity shares of the Company of par value of Rs. 5 each fully paid up for every 45 equity shares held in IAT of par value of Rs. 10 each fully paid up (âSwap ratioâ), with record date being 20 December 2016 as fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 30 December 2016, in terms of the said Scheme of Amalgamation has issued and allotted 10,569,937 new equity shares of the Company to the shareholders of IAT.
(d) In accordance with Part B of the Scheme, all the assets and liabilities of IAT were transferred to the Company with effect from the appointed date at the respective book values in the financial statements of IAT. Since, both the Company and IAT are under the common control of Jupiter Capital Private Limited, the holding Company, this transaction has been accounted in accordance with the Pooling of Interests Method outlined in IND AS 103 âBusiness Combinationâ, and the surplus of the net assets acquired over the consideration issued has been credited to Capital Reserve determined as follows:
(e) Consequent to the above, ACAT has become wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and ceases to be a fellow subsidiary of the Company. On account of which AXISCADES Aerospace Infrastructure Private Limited (âAAIPLâ) and Enertec Controls Limited (âEnertecâ), subsidiaries of ACAT, have become step-down subsidiaries of the Company.
(f) I n accordance with Appendix C, Business combinations of entities under common control, to Ind AS 103, Business combinations, the financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods have been restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the first period presented in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of combination. Therefore, the accounting for the scheme is effective from 1 April 2016 (also refer section C6 - 6 under note 45).
(i) Equity shares issued during the reporting period as part of the consideration for the scheme of amalgamation is included in the computation of weighted average number of shares from the beginning of the reporting period i.e. 1 April 2016, which is also the appointed date. This effect is given to the computation of EPS for the year ended 31 March 2017.
(a) As the future liability for gratuity is provided on an actuarial basis for the Company as a whole, the amount pertaining to individual is not ascertainable and therefore not included above.
3. DISCLOSURES IN RESPECT OF OPERATING LEASES
The lease expenses for cancellable and non-cancellable operating leases during the year ended 31 March 2018 is Rs. 1,174.61 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 933.55 lakhs).
The details of lease commitments in terms of minimum lease payments within the non-cancellable period are as follows:
The Companyâs significant leasing arrangements in respect of operating leases for office premises, which includes both cancellable and non cancellable leases generally range between 11 months to 5 years and are usually renewable by mutual consent on mutually agreeable terms. The aggregate lease rentals payable are charged as rent under note 27 to the financial statements.
* The Company has committed to provide financial support, if required, to its subsidiary i.e. AXISCADES Inc.
4. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
For the purpose of the Companyâs capital management, capital includes issued capital, additional paid in capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Companyâs capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Companyâs capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period except as mentioned in note 16(c).
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Companyâs policy is to keep the gearing ratio below 20%. The Company includes within net debt interest bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents.
The management assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans, other financial assets, trade payables and working capital loans approximate the carrying amount largely due to short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for financial instruments.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
Level 3: I f one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
1) The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The valuation techniques uses the exchange rates provided by âForeign Exchange Dealersâ Association of Indiaâ for revaluation of balance in forward contracts as on the reporting dates.
(iii) valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
â the fair value of the mutual funds is determined using daily NAV as declared for the particular scheme by the Asset Management Company. The fair value estimates are included in level 2.
- the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is determined using market observable inputs, including prevalent forward rates for the maturities of the respective contracts and interest rate curves as indicated by banks and third parties.
â the fair value of other equity instruments have been computed based on income approach using a discounted cash flow model, which discounts the estimated cash flows using the appropriate discount rates.
(iv) valuation processes
The Corporate finance team has requisite knowledge and skills. The team headed by group CFO directly reports to the audit committee to arrive at the fair value of financial instruments.
5. financial risk management
The Companyâs activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on itâs financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange exposure risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer.
The Companyâs risk management activity focuses on actively securing the Groupâs short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to volatile financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.
The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counter party resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables amounting to Rs. 6,015.83 lakhs as of 31 March 2018 [31 March 2017: Rs. 4,557.77 lakhs; 1 April 2016: Rs. 6,178.85 lakhs].
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in India and Europe. Credit risk has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The provision for expected credit loss takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors including the credit ratings of the various customers and Companyâs historical experience with customers.
Credit risk exposure
The allowance for life time expected credit loss on customer balances for the year ended 31 March 2018, 31 March 2017 and 1 April 2016 is Rs. 2.57 lakhs, Rs. 3.21 lakhs and Rs. 3.21 lakhs respectively. The reversal for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the year ended 31 March 2018 is Rs. 0.64 lakhs [31 March 2017: Rs. Nil] [01 April 2016: Rs. Nil].
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings as signed by international and domestic credit rating agencies.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired
Cash and cash equivalents, advances to subsidiary, loans and advances to employees, security deposit, other financial assets and unbilled revenue are neither past due nor impaired.
Financial assets that are past due but not impaired
There is no other class of financial assets that is past due but not impaired except for receivables of Rs. 2.57 lakhs, Rs. 3.21 lakhs and Rs. 3.21 lakhs as at 31 March 2018, 31 March 2017 and 1 April 2016, respectively. The Companyâs credit period generally ranges from 60-180 days from invoicing date. The aging analysis of the receivables has been considered from the date the invoice falls due. The age wise break up of receivables, net of allowances that are past due, is given below:
(B) Liquidity risk
The Companyâs principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived. As of 31 March 2018, the Company has a negative working capital of Rs. 6,543.98 lakhs including cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 765.06 lakhs. As of 31 March 2017, the Company had a working capital of Rs. 5,810.12 lakhs including cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 1,913.88 lakhs. As of 1 April 2016, the Company had a working capital of Rs. 4,561.74 lakhs including cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 940.36 lakhs. The management is confident of paying its dues. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
(C) Market risk
The Company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risk, which result from both its operating and investing activities.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The Company operates internationally and a significant portion of the business is transacted in USD and EURO currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Companyâs operations are adversely affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.
Sensitivity
The following table details the Companyâs sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the â against the relevant foreign currencies net of forward contracts. 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the year-end for a 1% change in foreign currency rates, with all other variables held constant. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where â strengthens 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% weakening of â against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank or a financial institution. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
The following table gives details in respect of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts
The foreign exchange forward contracts mature within twelve months. The table below analyses the derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period as of the Balance Sheet date:
Interest rate risk
The Companyâs fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments- Disclosures, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
6. defined benefit obligations
The Company has provided for the gratuity liability (defined benefit plan), as per actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary on the Balance Sheet date.
A Defined benefit contributions India
The Company makes contribution to statutory provident fund as per Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1952 for its employees. This is a defined contribution plan as per Ind AS 19, Employee benefits. Contribution made during the year ended 31 March 2018 is Rs. 363.02 lakhs [31 March 2017: Rs. 345.06 lakhs].
Overseas social security
The Company makes a contribution towards social security charges for its employees located at the respective branch offices in respective foreign geographies, that are defined contribution plans. The contributions paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which the employee renders services in respective geographies. Contribution made during the year ended 31 March 2018: Rs. 904.14 lakhs [31 March 2017: Rs. 845.71 lakhs].
B Defined benefit plans
The Company has provided for gratuity, for its employees as per actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary on the Balance Sheet date. The valuation has been carried out using the Project Unit Credit Method as per Ind AS 19 to determine the present value of Defined Benefit Obligations and the related current service cost. This is a defined benefit plan as per Ind AS 19.
The gratuity plan is governed by the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). Employees are entitled to all the benefits enlisted under this Act.
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit which are as follows:
a Interest rate risk
The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability as shown in financial statements.
b Liquidity risk
This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts.This may arise due to non availability of enough cash/cash equivalents to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.
c Salary escalation risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of employees in future. Deviation in the rate of interest in future for employees from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the planâs liability.
d Demographic risk
The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
e Regulatory risk
Gratuity benefits are paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts
The assumptions were developed by management with the assistance of independent actuaries. Discount factors are determined close to each year-end by reference to market yields of Government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the gratuity obligation. Other assumptions are based on current actuarial benchmarks and managementâs historical experience.
A quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumption as at 31 March 2018 is as shown below:
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, attrition rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The following table summarizes the impact of change in the defined benefit obligation resulting from the specified percentage change in the aforementioned assumptions.
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.
There is no change in the method and assumptions used in preparing the sensivity analysis from previous years.
(v) Effect of plan on entityâs future cash flows
The scheme is managed on an unfunded basis and hence, no funding arrangements or future contributions are applicable. The weighted average duration of the plan is estimated to be 14 years. Following is a maturity profile of the defined benefit obligation as at 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017.
7. SEGMENT INFoRMATioN
The Board of Directors of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by Ind AS 108, Operating Segments. The CODM evaluates the Companyâs performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of engineering services.
The Company is primarily engaged in a single segment i.e., engineering services. As the Companyâs business activity primarily falls within a single segment, there are no additional disclosures to be provided in terms of Ind AS 108 on âOperating Segmentsâ.
8. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 135 of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, the gross amount required to be spent by the Company during the year ended 31 March 2018 amounts to Rs. 51 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 44.75 lakhs). The Company has paid Rs. 51.00 lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs. 45.00 lakhs) to three non-government organisations engaged in the field of development of skills of under-privileged children, enabling them to overcome adversity and flourish in a fast changing world.
9. TRANSFER PRICING
The Finance Act, 2001 has introduced, with effect from Assessment Year 2002-03 (effective 1 April 2001), detailed Transfer Pricing regulations for computing the taxable income and expenditure from âinternational transactionsâ between âassociated enterprisesâ on an âarmâs lengthâ basis. These regulations, inter alia, also require the maintenance of prescribed documents and information including furnishing a report from an Accountant within due date of filing the Return of Income. The Company is in the process of updating the Transfer Pricing documentation for the financial year ended 31 March 2018 following a detailed transfer pricing study conducted for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. In the opinion of the Management, the same would not have an impact on these financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include the effect of the transfer pricing implications, if any.
* The Company has received service tax orders from the service tax authorities arising primarily on levy of service tax on business auxiliary service under reverse charge mechanism for period 2006 - 2010. The Companyâs appeal against the said demands are pending before Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (âCESTATâ).
The Company is contesting the demands/ litigations and the Management believes that its position will be upheld in the appellate process and therefore, will not impact these financial statements. Consequently, no provision has been created in the financial statements for the above.
10. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS
These financial statements, for the year ended 31 March 2018, are the first financial statements the Company has prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP).
Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for periods ending on 31 March 2018, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017, as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the Companyâs opening balance sheet was prepared as at 1 April 2016, the Companyâs date of transition to Ind AS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP financial statements, including the balance sheet as at 1 April 2016 and the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017.
A Ind AS optional exemptions Al. Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets
I nd AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, permits a first-time adopter to elect to fair value for all of its property, plant and equipment and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. Ind AS 101, First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, also permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as on the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets. Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment at their fair value as at the transition date and use that as deemed cost as on the date of transition. The Company has elected to measure its intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.
A2. Deemed cost for investments in subsidiaries
Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for investments in subsidiaries as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition. Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure its investments in subsidiaries in the standalone financial statements at their previous GAAP carrying value.
A3. Lease
Appendix C to Ind AS 17, Leases, requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, Leases, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected to be not material.
The Company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts/arrangements.
B. Ind AS mandatory exemptions B1. Estimates
I n accordance with Ind AS, as at the date of transition to Ind AS an entityâs estimates shall be consistent with the estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.
I nd AS estimates as at 1 April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP except for impairment of financial assets based on ECL and recognition of asset retirement obligation on the date of transition as they were not required as per previous GAAP.
B2. Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities
The classification and measurement of financial assets will be made considering whether the conditions as per Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments are met based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition.
Financial assets can be measured using effective interest method by assessing its contractual cash flow characteristics only on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition and if it is impracticable to assess elements of modified time value of money i.e. the use of effective interest method, fair value of financial asset at the date of transition shall be the new carrying amount of that asset. The measurement exemption applies for financial liabilities as well.
Applying a requirement is impracticable when the entity cannot apply it after making every reasonable effort to do so. It is impracticable to apply the changes retrospectively if:
a) The effects of the retrospective application or retrospective restatement are not determinable; or
b) The retrospective application or restatement requires assumptions about what managementâs intent would have been in that period; or
c) The retrospective application or retrospective restatement requires significant estimates of amounts and it is impossible to distinguish objectively information about those estimates that existed at that time.
B3. De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, retrospectively from a date of the entityâs choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognised as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.
The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.
C. Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS
Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS as at the periods specified below.
C1. Reconciliation of other equity
The Company has also prepared a reconciliation of equity as at 31 March 2017 and 1 April 2016 under the previous GAAP with the equity as reported in these financial statements under Ind AS, that reflect the impact of Ind AS on the components of Balance sheet which is presented below:
C6. Notes 1. Reversal of rent recorded on account of straightlining of lease rentals
Under previous GAAP, the Company was straightlining the lease rental payables, over the term of the lease and accordingly creating provision for lease rent. Under Ind AS 17, Leases, if the escalation in the rent as per the agreement is in-line with the average general inflation rate of the country in which the asset is located, then straight-lining of the rent over the lease term is not required. In the current circumstance these escalations approximate the general inflation applicable and hence the impact of this has been reversed.
2. Asset retirement obligation
As per Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Decommissioning liability is measured at best estimate of cost required to settle the liability, discounted to its present value at the time when asset becomes ready to use, using pre tax discount rate that reflects market assessment of time value of money between date of capitalisation and time of settlement of such obligation. The adjustment made in fixed assets is depreciated over its expected useful life and interest recognised on corresponding provision using the aforementioned discount rate that accretes the provision to the amount expected to be settled in future.
3. Borrowings and other financial liabilities
Under previous GAAP, all financial liabilities were carried at cost. Under Ind AS 109 , Financial Instruments, borrowings from related parties have been measured at amortised cost. The difference between carrying value of borrowings and fair value on initial recognition has been considered as additional contribution by the related parties and shown as part of âOther equityâ. Interest expenses on amortised cost is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss using the effective interest method.
4. Long -term trade receivables
Under Ind AS, long term trade receivables are measured at amortised cost and the difference between the carrying value and fair value on initial recognition has been accounted in retained earnings.
5. Expected credit loss assessment for trade receivables
Under previous GAAP, the Company has created a provision for impairment of receivables only with respect to specific amount for losses incurred . Under Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, impairment allowance has been determined based on Expected Loss model (ECL) on application of the ECL model, the Company impaired part of itâs trade receivable on 1 April 2016 which has been adjusted with retained earnings. The impact for year ended on 31 March 2017 has been recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
6. Accounting for the Scheme of Amalgamation
Under the previous GAAP, the Company had accounted for the merger of IAT, an entity under the common control of Jupiter Capital Private Limited, the Holding Company on pooling of interest method. Although the appointed date of the merger was 1 April 2016, this transaction was accounted from the date of the approval by the honourable High Court of Karnataka received on 4 November 2016 under the previous GAAP.
Under Ind AS, common control transactions are accounted for using the pooling of interest method similar to previous GAAP. However, the financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods shall be restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of combination. Therefore, this merger has been effected from 1 April 2016 (the appointed date of the merger).
7. Income tax

2) Earnings /(Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after

average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly
paid equity shares will be treated as a fraction of an equity share to
the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative
to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.
The weighted average numbers of equity shares outstanding during the
period will be adjusted for events of bonus issue, bonus element in a
rights issue to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share
split (consolidation of shares).
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period
will be adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares.
