Nature and purpose of reserves:Securities Premium

Securities Premium is used to record the premium received on issue of shares. The reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

General Reserve

Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, General Reserve was created through an annual transfer from net profit after tax at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that in a year in which dividend distribution is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company, then the total dividend distribution is lower than the total distributable profits for that year.

Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to General Reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the General Reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of the Companies Act, 2013.

As per the revenue recognition standard Ind AS 115 revenue has been recognised when control over the services transfers to the customer i.e., when the customer has the ability to control the use of the transferred services provided and generally derive their remaining benefits.

The revenue from logistics service is recognised over a period of time. The Company has recognized the revenue in respect of undelivered shipments to the extent of completed activities undertaken with respect to delivery. The Company has taken incurrence of cost incurred at stages of delivery (First mile, Network and Last mile) as base to identify the percentage of service completion in respect of undelivered shipments as at year end. At year end, the Company, based on its tracking systems classifies the ongoing deliveries into stages of delivery and applies estimated percentages as calculated above to recognise revenue.

Fair Value Hierarchy:

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are:

(a) recognised and measured at fair value and

(b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements.

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed in Ind AS 113 - Fair Value Measurement. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

Level 1: It represents units of mutual funds measured using the closing Net Asset Value (NAV).

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 and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. The fair value forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the Balance Sheet date.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data (Security Deposits), the instrument is included in level 3. The fair value of the security deposits with definite maturity period is determined using discounted cash flow analysis using an adjusted lending rate.

There are no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.

Note 1: The carrying value of Trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial assets, trade payables, lease liability and other financial liability are considered to be the same as their fair values due to their short term nature.

Note 2: Difference between carrying amounts and fair values of loans, deposits, other non-current financial assets measured at amortised cost is not significantly different in each of the year presented.

B Financial Risk management

i) Risk management framework

The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company''s risk assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor such risks and compliance with the policies and processes. Risk assessment and policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.

ii) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers. Credit risk is managed 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. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of expected credit loss in respect of trade and other receivables and investments. The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables . An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major parties. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are combined into homogenous categories and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on historical data of actual losses.

Trade and other receivables

The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry in which the customer operates also have an influence on credit risk assessment. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company''s customer base being large and diverse and also on account of realisation of receivables with in six months. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a regular basis.

Our historical experience of collecting receivables, supported by the level of default, is that credit risk is low.

iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company''s reputation.

iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values of future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Thus, the Company''s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and it''s revenue generating and operating activities.

(a) Currency risk

The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the Statement of Profit and Loss account and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity.

Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries. The risks primarily relate to fluctuations in U.S. dollar and Euro against the functional currency of the Company.

Sensitivity analysis

A 10% strengthening / weakening of the respective foreign currencies with respect to functional currency of Company would result in increase or decrease in profit or loss as shown in table below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast revenue and cost.

(a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity - fixed rate instruments

The company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

(b) Currency risk

Sensitivity analysis

A 10% strengthening / weakening of the respective foreign currencies with respect to functional currency of Company would result in increase or decrease in profit or loss as shown in table below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. The following analysis has been worked out based on the exposures as of the date of statements of financial position.

Significant management judgment is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assets is based on estimates of taxable income and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recovered. Any changes in future taxable income would impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

3. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company''s objective for Capital management is to maximize shareholder''s value and support the strategic objectives of the Company. The Company determines the capital requirements based on its financial performance, operating and long term investment plans. The funding requirements are met through operating cash flows generated.

The Company monitors capital using a ratio of ''Adjusted net debt'' to ''equity''. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total borrowings, comprising interest bearing debentures, less cash and cash equivalents (excluding collection on cash on delivery shipments held on behalf of customers). Equity comprises all components of equity. As at March 31, 2018 the cash and cash equivalents are more than the outstanding debts, hence the Debt equity ratio has not been disclosed (March 31, 2017 - 0.23).

4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective

The amendments to standards that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company''s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

4 SEGMENT INFORMATION

5 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT A Accounting classification and fair values

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed debt instruments that have a quoted price. The fair value of all debt instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

B Financial Risk management

i) Risk management framework

The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s primary risk management focus is to minimize potential adverse effects of market risk on its financial performance. The Company''s risk assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the policies and processes. Risk assessment and policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities. The Board of Directors and the management is responsible for overseeing the Company''s risk assessment and policies and processes.

ii) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s receivables from customers. Credit risk is managed 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. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of expected credit loss in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.

Trade and other receivables

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company''s customer base being large and diverse and also on account of realisation of receivables with in six months. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a regular basis.

Our historical experience of collecting receivables, supported by the level of default, is that credit risk is low.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company held cash and cash equivalents with credit worthy banks and financial institutions of Rs.24,220 Lakhs, Rs.27,572 Lakhs and Rs.15,303 Lakhs as at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015 respectively. The credit worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be good.

Security deposits given to lessors

The Company has given security deposit to lessors for premises leased by the Company as at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015. The credit worthiness of such lessors is evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be good.

Payload deposit given to subsidiary

The Company has given payload deposit to its subsidiary (Blue Dart Aviation Limited) of Rs.2,049 Lakhs, Rs.2,049 Lakhs and Rs.1,861 Lakhs as at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015 respectively. The approved future business plans and cash flow projections of the subsidiaries are evaluated by the management of the Company on an ongoing basis and based on this evaluation the recoverability of the payload deposit is considered to be good.

Loans to subsidiary

The Company has given loan to its subsidiaries of Rs.5,437 Lakhs, Rs.9,348 Lakhs and Rs.12,556 Lakhs as at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015 respectively. The approved future business plans and cash flow projections of the subsidiaries are evaluated by the management of the Company on an ongoing basis and based on this evaluation the recoverability of the loans to subsidiary is considered to be good.

iii) Liquidity risk

The Company has access to funds from non-convertible debentures.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had working capital of Rs.18,716 Lakhs including loans of Rs.2,547 Lakhs, cash and cash equivalents of Rs.25,432 Lakhs, trade receivables of Rs.35,975 Lakhs, other current assets of Rs.8,459 Lakhs, employee benefit obligations of Rs.5,618 Lakhs, trade payables of Rs.22,213 Lakhs, borrowings of Rs.16,610 and other current liabilities of Rs.9,256 Lakhs.

iv) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates) or in the price of market risk-sensitive instruments as a result of such adverse changes in market rates and prices. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. Thus, the Company''s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and it''s revenue generating and operating activities.

(a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity - fixed rate instruments

The company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

(b) Currency risk

The company offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Significant management judgement is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assets is based on estimates of taxable income and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recovered. Any changes in future taxable income would impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

11 TRANSITION TO IND AS:

These are the Company''s first standalone financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.

For the purposes of reporting as set out in Note 2, we have transitioned our basis of accounting from Indian generally accepted accounting principles (âIGAAPâ) to Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in Note 3 have been applied in preparing the financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at April 1, 2015 (the âtransition dateâ).

In preparing our opening Ind AS balance sheet, we have adjusted amounts reported in financial statements prepared in accordance with IGAAP. An explanation of how the transition from IGAAP to Ind AS has affected our financial performance, cash flows and financial position is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables. On transition, we did not revise estimates previously made under IGAAP except where required by Ind AS.

A. Exemptions and exceptions availed

Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS.

Ind AS optional exemptions

1. Investment in subsidiaries

Ind AS 101 allows a first time adopter to record the carrying value of investment in subsidiaries as per previous GAAP (i.e. Indian GAAP carrying value on transition date) or fair value of investment in subsidiaries at transition date as deemed cost under Ind AS.

Accordingly, the Company has elected to carry its investment in subsidiaries at the previous GAAP carrying value on the transition date.

2. Deemed Cost

Ind AS 101 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 at 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 and investment property covered by Ind AS 40 Investment Properties.

Accordingly, the company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value on the transition date.

Ind AS mandatory exceptions

1. Estimates

An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with 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.

Ind AS estimates as at April 1, 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP.

B. Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity and total comprehensive income for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

Footnotes

1. Under Indian GAAP, interest free security free lease security deposits and aircraft payload deposit (that are refundable in cash) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial instruments are required to be measured at their fair value on initial recognition. Accordingly, security deposits have been fair valued under Ind AS. Difference between transaction value and fair value has been recognised as prepaid rent/cost. Prepaid rent/cost is amortised over the lease term and notional interest income is recognised on unwinding of security deposits.

2. Under Ind AS, remeasurements of post employment benefits i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year.

3. Under Indian GAAP, revenue from distribution service and related costs were recognised on manifest of shipments.

Under Ind AS, revenue from distribution services have been recognised on delivery of services.

4. Under Ind AS, deferred tax has been recognised on the adjustments made on transition to Ind AS.

5. Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognised as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting.

6. Retained earnings as at April 1, 2015 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

7. Under previous GAAP, Blue Dart Aviation Limited (BDAL) was recognised as an associate of the company. Under Ind AS, an investor (the Company) controls an investee (BDAL) when the investor is exposed to (has rights to) variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Accordingly, BDAL is recognised as a subsidiary under Ind AS.

12 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Standards issued but not yet effective:

In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, ''Statement of cash flows''. These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7, ''Statement of cash flows''. The amendments are applicable to the company from April 1, 2017.

Amendment to Ind AS 7: ''Statement of cash flows''

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

The company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the effect on the financial statements is being evaluated.

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