JOTE 3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
I tems of property, plant and equipment, are
measured at cost (which includes capitalised
borrowing costs, if any) less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment includes its purchase price,
including import duties and non refundable
purchase taxes, after deducting trade
discounts and rebates, any directly
attributable cost of bringing the item to its
working condition for its intended use and
estimated costs of dismantling and removing
the item and restoring the site on which it is
located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of
property, plant and equipment comprises the
cost of materials, direct labour and any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the
item to its intended working condition and
estimated costs of dismantling, removing
and restoring the site on which it is located,
wherever applicable.
If significant parts of an item of property,
plant and equipment have different useful
lives, then they are accounted for as separate
items (major components) of property, plant
and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item
of property, plant and equipment is
recognised in statement of profit and loss.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company
had elected to continue with the carrying
value of all Property, plant and equipment
measured as per the previous GAAP and use
that carrying value as the deemed cost of
Property, plant and equipment."
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only
if it is probable that the future economic
benefits associated with the expenditure will
flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and
equipment (other than for those class
of assets specifically mentioned below)
is calculated on a straight-line basis as
per the useful lives prescribed and in the
manner laid down under Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013 and additions and
deletions are restricted to the period of use.
If the Management''s estimate of the useful
life of a property, plant and equipment is
different than that envisaged in the aforesaid
Schedule, depreciation is provided based on
the Management''s estimate of the useful
life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation
on the following class of property, plant
and equipment has been provided at the
rates based on the following useful lives of
property, plant and equipment as estimated
by Management which is different from the
useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the
Companies Act, 2013:
*For these class of assets, the Management
believes, based on technical evaluation
carried out by them internally, that the useful
life as given above best represent the period
over which the Management expects to use
these assets. Hence, the useful life for these
assets is different from the useful life as in
Schedule II of the Act.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The residual values, useful lives and methods
of depreciation of property, plant and
equipment are reviewed at each financial
year-end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate.
Depreciation on additions/disposals is
provided on a pro-rata basis, i.e., from/upto
the date on which asset is ready for use/
disposed off.
Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost,
net of accumulated impairment loss, if any
(b) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less
accumulated amortisation and impairment.
Intangible assets acquired in a business
combination and recognised separately from
goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value
at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their
cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible
assets acquired in a business combination are
reported at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortised over their
estimated useful life on a straight-line basis as
follows:
An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal,
or when no future economic benefits are expected
from use. Gains or losses arising from de¬
recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised
in ''other incomeâ of consolidated statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company had elected
to continue with the carrying value of all Intangible
assets measured as per the previous GAAP and
use that carrying value as the deemed cost of
Intangible assets.
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual
values are reviewed at the end of each financial
year and adjusted if appropriate."
(c) Biological assets
Biological assets i.e. living animals, are measured
at fair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell include the
minimal transportation charges for transporting
the cattle to the market but excludes finance
costs and income taxes. Changes in fair value
of livestock are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. Costs such as vaccination, fodder
and other expenses are expensed as incurred.
The animals reared from conception (calf) and
heifers are classified as ''immatured biological
assetsâ until the animals become productive. All
the productive animals are classified as "matured
biological assets".
(d) Impairment
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company
applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment
loss. The Company follows ''simplified
approachâ for recognition of impairment
loss allowance on trade receivables. The
application of simplified approach does not
require the Company to track changes in
credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment
loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at
each reporting date, right from its initial
recognition. 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, lifetime ECL is
used. If in subsequent period, credit quality
of the instrument improves such that there
is no longer a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, then the entity
reverts to recognising impairment loss
allowance based on 12 month ECL.
The Company''s non-financial assets,
other than biological assets, inventories
and deferred tax assets, are evaluated for
recoverability whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that their carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. For the
purpose of impairment testing, assets that
do not generate independent cash inflows are
grouped together into cash-generating units
(CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest
group of assets that generates cash inflows
that are largely independent of the cash inflows
of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from
a business combination is allocated to CGUs
or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit
from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of
the fair value less cost to sell and the value-
in-use) is determined on an individual asset
basis unless the asset does not generate
cash flows that are largely independent of
those from other assets. In such cases, the
recoverable amount is determined for the
CGU to which the asset belongs. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognised in the statement
of profit and loss is measured as the amount
by which the carrying value of the assets
exceeds the estimated recoverable amount
of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed
in the statement of profit and loss if there
has been a change in the estimates used
to determine the recoverable amount. The
carrying amount of the asset is increased to
its revised recoverable amount, provided that
this amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined
(net of any accumulated amortisation or
depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years.
(e) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses
whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A
contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition and
measurement approach for all leases, except
for short-term leases and leases of low-value
assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities
to make lease payments and right-of-use assets
representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Company recognises right-of-use assets
at the commencement date of the lease (i.e.,
the date the underlying asset is available
for use). Right-of-use assets are measured
at cost, less any accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost
of right-of-use assets includes the amount
of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct
costs incurred, and lease payments made
at or before the commencement date less
any lease incentives received. Right-of-use
assets are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of the lease term and
the estimated useful lives of the assets. The
Companyâs lease asset classes primarily
consist of leases for buildings, leasehold land
and plant and machinery.
ii. Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease,
the Company recognises lease liabilities
measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term.
The lease payments include fixed payments
(including in substance fixed payments)
less any lease incentives receivable, variable
lease payments that depend on an index
or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid
under residual value guarantees. The lease
payments also include the exercise price of
a purchase option reasonably certain to be
exercised by the Company and payments
of penalties for terminating the lease, if the
lease term reflects the Company exercising
the option to terminate. Variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or
a rate are recognised as expenses (unless
they are incurred to produce inventories) in
the period in which the event or condition
that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease
payments, the Company uses its incremental
borrowing rate at the lease commencement
date because the interest rate implicit in the
lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease
liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion
of interest and reduced for the lease
payments made. In addition, the carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if
there is a modification, a change in the lease
term, a change in the lease payments (e.g.,
changes to future payments resulting from a
change in an index or rate used to determine
such lease payments) or a change in the
assessment of an option to purchase the
underlying asset.
The Company applies the short-term lease
recognition exemption to its short-term
leases of machinery and equipment (i.e.,
those leases that have a lease term of 12
months or less from the commencement
date and do not contain a purchase option).
It also applies the lease of low-value assets
recognition exemption to leases of office
equipment that are considered to be low
value. Lease payments on short-term
leases and leases of low-value assets are
recognised as expense on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
(f) Inventories
Inventories comprise of raw materials and
packing materials, work-in-progress, finished
goods, stock-in-trade and stores and spares and
are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. The cost of all categories of inventories
is based on the weighted average cost method
and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring
the inventories, production or conversion costs
and other costs incurred in bringing them to their
present location and condition. In the case of
manufactured inventories and work-in-progress,
cost includes an appropriate share of fixed
production overheads based on normal operating
capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business, less the
estimated costs of completion and the estimated
costs necessary to make the sale. The net
realisable value of work-in-progress is determined
with reference to the selling prices of related
finished products. The comparison of cost and net
realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Raw materials, components and other supplies
held for use in the production of finished products
are not written down below cost except in cases
where material prices have declined and it is
estimated that the cost of the finished products
will exceed their net realisable value.
Goods-in-transit are valued at cost which
represents the costs incurred upto the stage at
which the goods are in-transit.
The Company initially recognises financial
assets (excluding trade receivables) and
financial liabilities when it becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade receivables are initially recognised
when they are originated.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is
classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- fair value through profit and loss
(FVTPL)
Financial assets are not reclassified
subsequent to their initial recognition, except
if and in the period the Company changes
its business model for managing financial
assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised
cost if it meets both of the following
conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business
model whose objective is to hold assets
to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial
asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment
that is not held for trading, the Company
may irrevocably elect to present subsequent
changes in the investment''s fair value
in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity
investment). This election is made on an
investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as
measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as
described above are measured at FVTPL.
This includes all derivative financial assets.
On initial recognition, the Company may
irrevocably designate a financial asset that
otherwise meets the requirements to be
measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at
FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly
reduces an accounting mismatch that would
otherwise arise.
A financial asset is subsequently measured
at amortised cost if it is held within a business
model whose objective is to hold the asset in
order to collect contractual cash flows and
the contractual terms of the financial asset
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset is subsequently measured
at fair value through other comprehensive
income if it is held within a business
model whose objective is achieved by both
collecting contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets and the contractual terms
of the financial asset give rise on specified
dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
A financial asset which is not classified in
any of the above categories are subsequently
fair valued through profit or loss. 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.
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried
at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. For trade and other
payables maturing within one year from the
balance sheet date, the carrying amounts
approximate fair value due to the short
maturity of these instruments.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the
Company are those contracts that require a
payment to be made to reimburse the holder
for a loss it incurs because the specified
debtor fails to make a payment when due
in accordance with the terms of a debt
instrument. Financial guarantee contracts
are recognised initially as a liability at fair
value, adjusted for transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the issuance of
the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is
measured at the higher of the amount of loss
allowance determined as per impairment
requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount
recognised less, when appropriate, the
cumulative amount of income recognised in
accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115.
Investment in subsidiaries and associate are
carried at cost less accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Where an indication of
impairment exists, the carrying amount of
the investment is assessed and written down
immediately to its recoverable amount.
The Company derecognises a financial asset
when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the financial asset expire, or it transfers
the right to receive the contractual cash flows
in a transaction in which substantially all of
the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial assets are transferred or in which
the Company neither transfers nor retains
substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership and does not retain control of the
financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions
whereby it transfers assets recognised on
its balance sheet, but retains either all or
substantially all of the risks and rewards of
the transferred assets, the transferred assets
are not derecognised.
The Company derecognises a financial
liability when its contractual obligations are
discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial
liability when its terms are modified and the
cash flows under the modified terms are
substantially different. In this case, a new
financial liability based on the modified terms
is recognised at fair value. The difference
between the carrying amount of the financial
liability extinguished and a new financial
liability with modified terms is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are
offset and the net amount presented in the
balance sheet when, and only when, the
Company currently has a legally enforceable
right to set off the amounts and it intends
either to settle them on a net basis or
realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
(h) Revenue recognition
The Company is engaged in sale of milk and milk
related value added products. Revenue from the
sale of goods is recognised when control of the
goods has transferred to the customers which is
either upon dispatch or upon receipt of goods by
the customer. At that point there are no unfulfilled
obligations that could affect the customer''s
acceptance of the goods.
Income from services rendered is recognised
based on agreements/arrangements with the
customers and when services are rendered by
measuring progress towards satisfaction of
performance obligation for such services.
Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance
obligation is measured at the amount of
transaction price (net of variable consideration)
allocated to that performance obligation. Amounts
disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade
discounts, cash discount, allowances and volume
rebates, taxes collected and amounts collected
on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised
to the extent it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue
and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably.
A receivable is recognised if an amount of
consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the
passage of time is required before payment of the
consideration is due).
A contract liability is recognised if a payment is
received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier)
from a customer before the Company transfers
the related goods or services. Contract liabilities
are recognised as revenue when the Company
performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control
of the related goods or services to the customer).
For all financial instruments measured at
amortised cost, interest income is recorded using
the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate
that exactly discounts the estimated future cash
payments or receipts over the expected life of the
financial instrument or a shorter period, where
appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the
financial asset. Interest income is included in
other income in the statement of profit and loss.
(i) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing the net profit attributable to the equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing the net
profit by the weighted average number of equity
shares considered for deriving basic earnings per
share and also the weighted average number of
equity shares that could have been issued upon
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period,
unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted
earnings per share, only potential equity shares
that are dilutive and that either reduces earnings
per share or increases loss per share are included.
(j) Dividend
The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend
to equity holders of the Company when the
distribution is authorised, and the distribution is no
longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the
corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised
when it is approved by the shareholders. A
corresponding amount is recognised directly in
equity.
(k) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially
recorded by the Company at their functional
currency spot rates at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currency are translated at the functional
currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting
date. Exchange differences that arise on settlement
of monetary items or on reporting at each balance
sheet date of the Company''s monetary items at
the closing rates, are recognised as income or
expenses in the period in which they arise. Non¬
monetary items which are carried at historical
cost denominated in a foreign currency are
reported using the exchange rates at the date of
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at
fair value in a foreign currency are translated using
the exchange rates at the date when the fair value
is determined.
(l) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised
initially as deferred income at their fair value where
there is a reasonable assurance that the grant
will be received and the Company will comply
with all attached conditions. Government grants
relating to income are deferred and recognised
in the statement of profit and loss over the period
necessary to match them with the costs that
they are intended to compensate and presented
within other income. Government grants relating
to the purchase of property, plant and equipment
are included in non-current/current liabilities as
deferred income and are credited to statement
of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the
expected lives of the related assets and presented
within other income.
(m) Income taxes:
Income-tax expense for the year comprise of
current and deferred tax. It is recognised in
statement of profit and loss except to the extent
that it relates to a business combination or to
an item recognised directly in equity or in other
comprehensive income ("OCI").
Current tax comprises the expected tax
payable or receivable on the taxable income
or loss for the year and any adjustment
to the tax payable or receivable in respect
of previous years. The amount of current
tax reflects the best estimate of the tax
amount expected to be paid or received after
considering the uncertainty, if any related
to income taxes. It is measured using tax
rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively
enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of
temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the corresponding
amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of
carried forward tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the
initial recognition of assets or liabilities
in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit or loss at
the time of transaction.
- temporary differences related to
investments in subsidiaries, associates
and interests in joint ventures, when the
timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary differences
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which they
can be used.
Deferred tax assets recognised or
unrecognised are reviewed at each reporting
date and are recognised/reduced to the
extent that it is probable/no longer probable
respectively that the related tax benefit will
be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates
that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled,
based on the laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects
the tax consequences that would follow from
the manner in which the Company expects,
at the reporting date, to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company offsets, the current tax assets
and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and
deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it
has a legally enforceable right and where it
intends to settle such assets and liabilities on
a net basis.

1. Corporate information
Dodla Dairy Limited (''the Company'') was incorporated on 15 May 1995. The Company is a public company domiciled in India and is incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act applicable in India. The Registered office of the Company is situated at 8-2-293/82/A/270-Q, Road No. 10-C, Jubilee hills, Hyderabad, India. The Company is in the business of processing/production of milk and production of milk products.
The Company''s shares are listed on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.
The standalone financial statements were approved for issue by the Company''s Board of Directors on 18 May 2024.
A. Statement of compliance
The standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the standalone financial statements notified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the ''Act'') and other relevant provisions of the Act. The Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.
Details of the Company''s material accounting policies are included in note 3.
B. Functional and presentation currency
These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (T), which is also the Company''s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest millions (T 000,000), unless otherwise indicated.
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following items:
|
Items |
Measurement basis |
|
Investment in mutual funds |
Fair value |
|
Biological assets |
Fair value less cost to sell |
|
Share based payment |
Fair value |
|
Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability |
Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit plan |
D. Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing these standalone financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Judgements
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 49- leases: determination of lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options -Company as a lessee.
- Note 11 - inventories: valuation of inventories Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the next year financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 7 - determining the fair value of biological assets on the basis of significant unobservable inputs;
- Note 23 - measurement of defined benefit plan: key actuarial assumptions;
- Note 40 - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources;
- Note 4 - useful life of property, plant and equipment
- Note 6(i) - impairment of goodwill
- Note 45 - impairment of financial assets
- Note 49 - lease liabilities - measurement of incremental borrowing costs.
- Note 53 - determination of purchase price allocation and valuation of intangible assets
- Note 11 - inventories: determination of net realisable value
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Company require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non financial assets and liabilities.
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis and available quoted market prices. ALL methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realised.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability falls into the different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Further information about the assumptions made in the measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
- Note 7 - Biological assets other than bearer plants
- Note 45 - Financial instruments
- Note 19 - Share based payment arrangement
F. Current versus non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
⢠It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
⢠It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
⢠It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
⢠It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Apart from the above, current assets also include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
⢠It is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
⢠It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
⢠It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
⢠There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the date.
Apart from the above, current liabilities also include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. ALL other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle - The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
3. Material accounting policies
(a) Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment, are measured at cost (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price, including import duties and non refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company had elected to continue with the carrying value of all Property, plant and equipment measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of Property, plant and equipment.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment (other than for those class of assets specifically mentioned below) is calculated on a straight-line basis as per the useful lives prescribed and in the manner laid down under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 and additions and deletions are restricted to the period of use. If the Management''s estimate of the useful life of a property, plant and equipment is different than that envisaged in the aforesaid Schedule, depreciation is provided based on the Management''s estimate of the useful life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation on the following class of property, plant and equipment has been provided at the rates based on the following useful lives of property, plant and equipment as estimated by Management which is different from the useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013:
|
Asset 1 |
Useful life |
|
Laboratory equipment |
3 years |
|
Aluminium milk cans |
10 years |
|
Building - RCC framework |

An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in ''other income'' of consolidated statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company had elected to continue with the carrying value of all Intangible assets measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of Intangible assets.
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.
(c) Biological assets
Biological assets i.e. living animals, are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell include the minimal transportation charges for transporting the cattle to the market but excludes finance costs and income taxes. Changes in fair value of livestock are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Costs such as vaccination, fodder and other expenses are expensed as incurred. The animals reared from conception (calf) and heifers are classified as ''immatured biological assets'' until the animals become productive. ALL the productive animals are classified as "matured biological assets".
(d) Impairment
i. Financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment Loss. The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment Loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment Loss aLLowance based on Lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initiaL recognition. 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, Lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quaLity of the instrument improves such that there is no Longer a significant increase in credit risk since initiaL recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment Loss aLLowance based on 12 month ECL.
ii. Non -financial assets
The Company''s non-financiaL assets, other than bioLogicaL assets, inventories and deferred tax assets, are evaLuated for recoverabiLity whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverabLe. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smaLLest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are LargeLy independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
(e) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
i. Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings, leasehold land and plant and machinery.
ii. Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g.,
changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on shortterm leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(f) Inventories
Inventories comprise of raw materials and packing materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, stock-intrade and stores and spares and are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of all categories of inventories is based on the weighted average cost method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The net realisable value of work-inprogress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
Goods-in-transit are valued at cost which represents the costs incurred upto the stage at which the goods are in-transit.
(g) Financial instruments
i. Recognition and initial measurement
The Company initially recognises financial assets (excluding trade receivables) and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment''s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
ALL financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115.
Investment in subsidiaries and associate
Investment in subsidiaries and associate are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
iii. Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and a new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
iv. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(h) Revenue recognition
The Company is engaged in sale of milk and milk products. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when control of the goods has transferred to the customers which is either upon dispatch or upon receipt of goods by the customer. At that point there are no unfulfilled obligations that could affect the customer''s acceptance of the goods.
Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/ arrangements with the customers and when services are rendered by measuring progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation for such services.
Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade discounts, cash discount, allowances and volume rebates, taxes collected and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably.
Trade receivables
A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised
as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
(i) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
(j) Business Combination
In accordance with Ind AS 103, the Company accounts for the business combinations (other than common control business combinations) using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred for the business combination is generally measured at fair value as at the date the control is acquired (acquisition date), as are the net identifiable assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships with the acquiree. Such amounts are generally recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured subsequently and settlement is accounted for within equity. Other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree''s employees (acquiree''s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer''s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. The determination of the amount to be included in consideration transferred is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree''s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.
If a business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit and loss or OCI, as appropriate.
Business combinations (for common control business combinations) arising from transfers of interest in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Company are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose comparatives are revised. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at their carrying amounts. The identity of the reserves is
preserved and they appear in the financial statements of the Company in the same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the acquired entity. The difference, if any, between the value of net assets and the consequent reduction in value of investment held by the Company is transferred to the capital reserve or to the accumulated balance of profit and loss.
(k) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their functional currency spot rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company''s monetary items at the closing rates, are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise. Nonmonetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
(l) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised initially as deferred income at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current/ current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.
(m) Income taxes:
Income-tax expense for the year comprise of current and deferred tax. It is recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income ("OCI").
i. Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of transaction.
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax assets recognised or unrecognised are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(n) Provisions and contingent liabilities
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. 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.
i. Contingent liabilities
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
(o) Employee benefits
i. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits obligation are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii. Share based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of equity settled share based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as expense is based on the estimate of the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date.
iii. Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered
provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefits expense in the statement of profit and loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
iv. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit plan is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (''the asset ceiling''). In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit plan at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (''past service cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
v. Other long-term benefits
The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilised wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial obligation using the projected unit credit method.
vi. Other long-term employee benefits
The Company''s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(p) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which
are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(q) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net profits before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating (operating activities), investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
(r) New and amended standards
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 dated 31 March 2023, MCA to amend the following Ind AS which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 April 2023. The Company applied for the first time these amendments.
(i) Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to Ind AS 8
The amendments clarify the distinction between changes 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 had no impact on the Company''s standalone financial statements.
(ii) Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to Ind AS 1
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 have had an impact on the Company''s disclosures of accounting policies, but not on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Company''s financial statements.
(iii) Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction - Amendments to Ind AS 12
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 such as leases.
The Company previously recognised for deferred tax on leases on a net basis. As a result of these amendments, the Company has recognised a separate deferred tax asset in relation to its lease liabilities and a deferred tax liability in relation to its right-of-use assets. Since, these balances qualify for offset as per the requirements of paragraph 74 of Ind AS 12, there is no impact in the balance sheet. There was also no impact on the opening retained earnings as at 01 April 2022.
Apart from these, consequential amendments and editorials have been made to other Ind AS like Ind AS 101, Ind AS 102, Ind AS 103, Ind AS 107, Ind AS 109, Ind AS 115 and Ind AS 34.
(s) Standards notified but not yet effective
There are no standards that are notified and not yet effective as on the date.
(t) Climate - related matters
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 and developments.
For these class of assets, the Management believes, based on technical evaluation carried out by them internally, that the useful life as given above best represent the period over which the Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful life for these assets is different from the useful life as in Schedule II of the Act.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions/ disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis, i.e., from/ upto the date on which asset is ready for use/ disposed off.
iv. Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any
(b) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated

D. Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing these standalone financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Judgements
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 48- leases: determination of lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options -Company as a lessee.
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the next year financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 7 - determining the fair value of biological assets on the basis of significant unobservable inputs;
- Note 23 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
- Note 38 - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources;
- Note 4 - useful life of property, plant and equipment
- Note 6 - impairment of goodwill
- Note 44 - impairment of financial assets
- Note 48 - lease liabilities - measurement of incremental borrowing costs.
- Note 52 - determination of purchase price allocation and valuation of intangible assets
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Company require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability falls into the different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Further information about the assumptions made in the measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
- Note 7 - Biological assets other than bearer plants
- Note 44 - Financial instruments
- Note 18(f) - Share based payment arrangement
F. Current versus non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
⢠It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
⢠It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
⢠It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
⢠It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Apart from the above, current assets also include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
⢠It is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
⢠It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
⢠It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
⢠There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the date.
Apart from the above, current liabilities also include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. ALL other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle - The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
(a) Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment, are measured at cost (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company had elected to continue with the carrying value of all Property, plant and equipment measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of Property, plant and equipment.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation on tangible assets (other than for those class of assets specifically mentioned below) is calculated on a straight-line basis as per the useful lives prescribed and in the manner laid down under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 and additions and deletions are restricted to the period of use. If the Management''s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset is different than that envisaged in the aforesaid Schedule, depreciation is provided based on the Management''s estimate of the useful life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation on the following class of fixed assets has been provided at the rates based on the following useful lives of fixed assets as estimated by Management which is different from the useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013:
|
Asset * |
Useful life |
|
Laboratory equipment |
3 years |
|
Temporary Structures |
1 year |
|
Aluminium Milk Cans |
10 years |
|
Building - RCC framework |
30 years |
|
Freezers and Coolers |
3 years |
* For these class of assets, the Management believes, based on technical evaluation carried out by them internally, that the useful life as given above best represent the period over which the Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful life for these assets is different from the useful life as in Schedule II of the Act.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions/ disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis, i.e., from/ upto the date on which asset is ready for use/ disposed off
iv. Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation/ under development as at the balance sheet date.
(b) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on a straight-line basis as follows:
|
Asset |
Useful life |
|
Computer software |
3 years |
|
Brands |
5 years |
|
Distribution network |
5 years |
|
Non-compete arrangements |
5 years |
An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in ''other income'' of consolidated statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company had elected to continue with the carrying value of all Intangible assets measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of Intangible assets.
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.
(c) Biological assets
Biological assets i.e. living animals, are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell include the minimal transportation charges for transporting the cattle to the market but excludes finance costs and income taxes. Changes in fair value of livestock are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Costs such as vaccination, fodder and other expenses are expensed as incurred. The animals reared from conception (calf) and heifers are classified as ''immatured biological assets'' until the animals become productive. ALL the productive animals are classified as "matured biological assets".
(d) Impairment
i. Financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment Loss. The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment Loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment Loss aLLowance based on Lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initiaL recognition. 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, Lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quaLity of the instrument improves such that there is no Longer a significant increase in credit risk since initiaL recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment Loss aLLowance based on 12 month ECL.
ii. Non -financial assets
The Company''s non-financiaL assets, other than bioLogicaL assets, inventories and deferred tax assets, are evaLuated for recoverabiLity whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverabLe. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smaLLest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are LargeLy independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. GoodwiLL arising from a business combination is aLLocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverabLe amount (i.e. the higher of the fair vaLue Less cost to seLL and the vaLue-in-use) is determined on an individuaL asset basis unLess the asset does not generate cash flows that are LargeLy independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverabLe amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset beLongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the statement of profit and Loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying vaLue of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverabLe amount of the asset. An impairment Loss is reversed in the statement of profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverabLe amount The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverabLe amount,
provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
(e) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
i. Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings, leasehold land and plant and machinery.
ii. Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on shortterm leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Inventories comprise of raw materials and packing materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, stock-in-trade and stores and spares and are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The net realisable value of work-in progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
Goods-in-transit are valued at cost which represents the costs incurred upto the stage at which the goods are in-transit.
(g) Financial instruments
i. Recognition and initial measurement
The Company initially recognises financial assets (excluding trade receivables) and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets. A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment''s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
ALL financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115.
Investment in subsidiary and associate
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associate, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
iii. Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and a new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
iv. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(h) Revenue recognition
The Company is engaged in sale of milk and milk products. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when control of the goods has transferred to the buyer which coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to the customers and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer''s acceptance of goods. Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/ arrangements with the customers as the service is performed and there are no unfulfilled obligations.
Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade discounts, cash discount, allowances and volume rebates, taxes collected and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably.
Trade receivables
A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
Dividend income and interest income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend. For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
(j) Business Combination
In accordance with Ind AS 103, the Company accounts for the business combinations (other than common control business combinations) using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred for the business combination is generally measured at fair value as at the date the control is acquired (acquisition date), as are the net identifiable assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity as capital reserve if there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as resulting in a bargain purchase; otherwise the gain is recognised directly in equity as capital reserve. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships with the acquiree. Such amounts are generally recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured subsequently and settlement is accounted for within equity. Other contingent consideration is remeasured atfair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree''s employees (acquiree''s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer''s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. The determination of the amount to be included in consideration transferred is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree''s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.
If a business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re measured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss or OCI, as appropriate.
Business combinations (for common control business combinations) arising from transfers of interest in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Company are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose comparatives are revised. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at their carrying amounts. The identity of the reserves is preserved and they appear in the financial statements of the Company in the same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the acquired entity. The difference, if any, between the value of net assets and the consequent reduction in value of investment held by the Company is transferred to the capital reserve or to the accumulated balance of profit and loss.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their functional currency spot rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company''s monetary items at the closing rates, are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise. Non monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
(l) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised initially as deferred income at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current/ current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.
(m) Income taxes:
Income-tax expense for the year comprise of current and deferred tax. It is recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
i. Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of transaction.
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax assets recognised or unrecognised are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year-on-year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(n) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of those property, plant and equipment which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised. ALL other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they incur in the statement of profit and loss.
(o) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
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. 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.
i. Contingent liabilities
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
ii. Contingent assets
Contingent assets has to be recognized in the standalone financial statements in the period in which if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. Contingent assets are assessed continually and no such benefits were found for the current financial year.
iii. Onerous contracts
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
(p) Employee benefits
i. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits obligation are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount
ii. Share based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of equity settled share based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as expense is based on the estimate of the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date.
iii. Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefits expense in the statement of profit and loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
iv. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (''the asset ceiling''). In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (''past service cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
v. Other long-term benefits
The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilised wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial obligation using the projected unit credit method.
(q) Investments in subsidiaries and associates
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associates, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the profit or loss.
(r) Events after reporting date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the standalone financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
(s) Share issue expenses
The share issue expenses incurred by the Company on account of new shares issued are netted off from securities premium account. The share issue expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of selling shareholders are considered to be recoverable from selling shareholders and are classified as IPO expenses recoverable under other current assets.
(t) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Where bank overdrafts/ cash credits which are repayable on demand form an integral part of an entity''s cash management, bank overdrafts are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents. For the purposes of cash flow, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
(u) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net profits before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating (operating activities), investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
(v) Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company applied for the first-time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2022.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On 23 March 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, applicable from 01 April 2022, as below:
(i) Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract - Amendments to Ind AS 37
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. There is no material impact on the Company''s financial statements due to these amendments.
(ii) Reference to the Conceptual Framework - Amendments to Ind AS 103
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 IFRS 3 to clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date.
In accordance with the transitional provisions, the Company applies the amendments prospectively, i.e., to business combinations occurring after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments (the date of initial application).
There is no material impact on the Company''s financial statements due to these amendments.
(vi) Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use - Amendments to Ind AS 16
The amendments modified paragraph 17(e) of 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 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.
(v) Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments - Fees in the ''10 per cent'' test for derecognition of financial liabilities
The amendment clarifies 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.
In accordance with the transitional provisions, the Company applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment (the date of initial application).
There is no material impact on the Company''s financial statements due to these amendments.
(vi) Ind AS 41 Agriculture - Taxation in fair value measurements
The amendment removes the requirement in paragraph 22 of Ind AS 41 that entities exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring the fair value of assets within the scope of Ind AS 41.
There is no material impact on the Company''s financial statements due to these amendments.
(w) 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.
(i) Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to Ind AS 8
The amendments clarify the distinction between changes 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 Company''s financial statements.
(ii) Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to Ind AS 1
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 amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company''s financial statements.
(iii) Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction - Amendments to Ind AS 12
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.
The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company''s financial statements.
Mar 31, 2022
1 Reporting entity
Dodla Dairy Limited (''the Company'') was incorporated on 15 May 1995. The Registered office of the Company is situated at 8-2-293/82/A/270-Q, Road No. 10-C, Jubilee hills, Hyderabad. The Company is in the business of processing/ production of milk and production of milk products.
2 Basis of preparation
A. Statement of compliance
The standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 notified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the ''Act'') and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The standalone financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company''s Board of Directors on 16 May 2022.
Details of the Company''s accounting policies are included in note 3.
B. Functional and presentation currency
These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (T), which is also the Company''s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest millions, unless otherwise indicated. The Comparatives are presented for the year ended and as on 31 March 2021.
C. Basis of measurement
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following items:
|
Items |
Measurement basis |
|
Certain financial assets and liabilities |
Fair value |
|
Biological assets |
Fair value less cost to sell |
|
Share based payment |
Fair value |
|
Lease liability |
Lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee''s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. |
|
Right-to-use asset |
Right-to-use asset has been measured as an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application. Practical expedient on transition to exclude initial direct costs from ROU asset measurement is considered. |
|
Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability |
Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligation |
D. Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing these standalone financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Judgements
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 49- leases: whether an arrangement contains a lease and lease classification.
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the next year financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 7 - determining the fair value of biological assets on the basis of significant unobservable inputs;
- Note 23 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
- Note 39 - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources;
- Note 4 - useful life of property, plant and equipment
- Note 6(i) - impairment of goodwill
- Note 45 - impairment of financial assets
- Note 49 - lease liabilities - measurement of incremental borrowing costs.
E. Measurement of fair values
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Company require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability falls into the different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Further information about the assumptions made in the measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
- Note 7 - Biological assets other than bearer plants
- Note 45 - Financial instruments
- Note 18(f) - Share based payment arrangement
F. Current versus non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
⢠It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
⢠It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
⢠It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
⢠It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Apart from the above, current assets also include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
⢠It is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
⢠It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
⢠It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
⢠There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the date.
Apart from the above, current liabilities also include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. ALL other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle - The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
3 Significant accounting policies
(a) Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment, are measured at cost (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price, including import duties and non refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation on tangible assets (other than for those class of assets specifically mentioned below) is calculated on a straight-line basis as per the useful lives prescribed and in the manner laid down under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 and additions and deletions are restricted to the period of use. If the Management''s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset is different than that envisaged in the aforesaid Schedule, depreciation is provided based on the Management''s estimate of the useful life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation on the following class of fixed assets has been provided at the rates based on the following useful lives of fixed assets as estimated by Management which is different from the useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013:
|
Asset1 |
Useful life |
|
Laboratory equipment |
3 years |
|
Temporary Structures |
1 years |
|
Aluminium Milk Cans |
10 years |
|
Freezers and Coolers |
3 years |
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method, and is included in depreciation and amortisation in statement of profit and loss.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
|
Asset |
Useful life |
|
Computer software |
3 years |
|
Brands |
5 years |
|
Non-compete arrangements |
5 years |
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.
(c) Biological assets
Biological assets i.e. living animals, are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Costs to sell include the minimal transportation charges for transporting the cattle to the market but excludes finance costs and income taxes. Changes in fair value of livestock are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Costs such as vaccination, fodder and other expenses are expensed as incurred. The animals reared from conception (calf) and heifers are classified as ''immatured biological assets'' until the animals become productive. ALL the productive animals are classified as "matured biological assets".
(d) Impairment
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment Loss. The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment Loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment Loss aLLowance based on Lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initiaL recognition. 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, Lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quaLity of the instrument improves such that there is no Longer a significant increase in credit risk since initiaL recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment Loss aLLowance based on 12 month ECL.
ii. Non -financial assets
The Company''s non-financiaL assets, other than bioLogicaL assets, inventories and deferred tax assets, are evaLuated for recoverabiLity whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverabLe. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smaLLest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are LargeLy independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. GoodwiLL arising from a business combination is aLLocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverabLe amount (i.e. the higher of the fair vaLue Less cost to seLL and the vaLue-in-use) is determined on an individuaL asset basis unLess the asset does not generate cash flows that are LargeLy independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverabLe amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset
belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
(e) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
(i) As lessee
The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings, leasehold land and plant and machinery. The Company, at the inception of a contract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or not. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a time in exchange for a consideration.
The Group''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings, leasehold land and plant and machinery. The Group, at the inception of a contract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or not. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a time in exchange for a consideration.
The Company elected to use the following practical expedients on initial application:
- Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
- Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application.
- Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
- Applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases as on 01 April 2019 (initial application date for Ind AS 116). Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116. This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 01 April 2019. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
- The contract involves use of an identified asset, whether specified explicitly or implicitly;
- The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use;
- The Company has right to direct the use of the asset by either having right to operate the asset or the Company having designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
a. Fixed payments including in-substance fixed payments
b. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
c. Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and
d. the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company and its associate is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company''s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ''property, plant and equipment'' and lease liabilities in ''financial liabilities'' in the statement of financial position.
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease Liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss over the lease term.
(f) Inventories
Inventories comprise of raw materials and packing materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, stock-in-trade and stores and spares and are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The net realisable value of work-inprogress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
Goods-in-transit are valued at cost which represents the costs incurred upto the stage at which the goods are in-transit.
(g) Financial instruments
i. Recognition and initial measurement
The Group initially recognises financial assets (excluding trade receivables) and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment''s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
ALL financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Investment in subsidiary and associate
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associate, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
iii. Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and a new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
iv. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(h) Revenue recognition
The Company is engaged in sale of milk and milk products. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when control of the goods has transferred to the buyer which coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to the customers and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer''s acceptance of goods. Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/ arrangements with the customers as the service is performed and there are no unfulfilled obligations.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade discounts, cash discount, allowances and volume rebates, taxes collected and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably.
Trade receivables
A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
Dividend income and interest income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend. For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
(i) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included. The number of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for the share splits.
(j) Business Combination
In accordance with Ind AS 103, the Company accounts for the business combinations (other than common control business combinations) using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred for the business combination is generally measured at fair value as at the date the control is acquired (acquisition date), as are the net identifiable assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity as capital reserve if there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as resulting in a bargain purchase; otherwise the gain is recognised directly in equity as capital reserve. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships with the acquiree. Such amounts are generally recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured subsequently and settlement is accounted for within equity. Other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree''s employees (acquiree''s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer''s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. The determination of the amount to be included in consideration transferred is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree''s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.
If a business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss or OCI, as appropriate.
Business combinations (for common control business combinations) arising from transfers of interest in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Company are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose comparatives are revised. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at their carrying amounts. The identity of the reserves is preserved and they appear in the financial statements of the Company in the same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the acquired entity. The difference, if any, between the value of net assets and the consequent reduction in value of investment held by the Company is transferred to the capital reserve or to the accumulated balance of profit and loss.
(k) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their functional currency spot rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company''s monetary items at the closing rates, are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise. Nonmonetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
(l) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised initially as deferred income at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current/ current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.
(m) Income taxes:
Income-tax expense for the year comprise of current and deferred tax. It is recognised in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of transaction.
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax assets recognised or unrecognised are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(n) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of those property, plant and equipment which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised. ALL other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they incur in the statement of profit and loss.
(o) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
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. 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.
i. Contingent liabilities
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
ii. Contingent assets
Contingent assets has to be recognized in the standalone financial statements in the period in which if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. Contingent assets are assessed continually and no such benefits were found for the current financial year.
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
(p) Employee benefits
i. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits obligation are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii. Share based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of equity settled share based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as expense is based on the estimate of the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date.
iii. Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefits expense in the statement of profit and loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
iv. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (''the asset ceiling''). In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (''past service cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
v. Other long-term benefits
The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absences and utilise it in future service periods or receive cash compensation on termination of employment. Since the compensated absences do not fall due wholly within twelve months after the end of the period
in which the employees render the related service and are also not expected to be utilised wholly within twelve months after the end of such period, the benefit is classified as a long-term employee benefit. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial obligation using the projected unit credit method.
(q) Investments in subsidiaries and associates
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and associates, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the profit or loss.
(r) Events after reporting date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the standalone financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
(s) Share issue expenses
The share issue expenses incurred by the Company on account of new shares issued are netted off from securities premium account. The share issue expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of selling shareholders are considered to be recoverable from selling shareholders and are classified as IPO expenses recoverable under other current assets.
(t) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Where bank overdrafts/ cash credits which are repayable on demand form an integral part of an entity''s cash management, bank overdrafts are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents. For the purposes of cash flow, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
(u) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net profits before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating (operating activities), investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
(v) Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On 23 March 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, applicable from 01 April 2022, as below:
Ind AS 103 - Reference to Conceptual Framework
The amendments specifiy that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date. These changes do not significantly change the requirements of Ind AS 103. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Ind AS 16 - Proceeds before intended use
The amendments mainly prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, an entity will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. The Company does not expect the amendments to have any impact in its recognition of its property, plant and equipment in its financial statements.
Ind AS 37 - Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract
The amendments specify that that the ''cost of fulfilling'' a contract comprises the ''costs that relate directly to the contract''. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment is essentially a clarification and the Comany does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Ind AS 109 - Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)
The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ''10 percent'' test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Ind AS 106 - Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)
The amendments remove the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of how lease incentives were described in that illustration. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
for these class of assets, the Management believes, based on technical evaluation carried out by them internally, that the useful life as given above best represent the period over which the Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful life for these assets is different from the useful life as in Schedule II of the Act.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions/ disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis, i.e., from/ upto the date on which asset is ready for use/ disposed off.
iv. Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation/ under development as at the balance sheet date.
(b) Intangible assets
For measurement of goodwill that arises on a business combination (see Note 3(j)). Subsequent measurement is at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets including those acquired by the Company are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
