A. Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (âInd-ASâ) under the historical
cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of
the Companies Act , 2013 (''Act'') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
The Ind-AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a
revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except the following:
⢠Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value;
⢠Assets held for sale are measured at fair value less cost to sell and
⢠Defined benefit plans- plan assets are measured at fair value;
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notification dated 9 September 2024 and 28 September Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Third Amendment Rules, 2024,
respectively, which amended/ notified certain accounting standards (see below), and are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 April 2024:
⢠Insurance contracts - Ind AS 117; and
⢠Lease Liability in Sale and Leaseback - Amendments to Ind AS 116
These amendments did not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in current and prior periods and are not
expected to significantly affect the future periods
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is the functional Currency of the Company and all the values are
rounded to the nearest lakhs, except when otherwise stated
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current or non-current classification. An asset is
treated as current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, held primarily
for the purpose of trading, expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period and cash or cash equivalent
unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other
assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in 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 and there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of
the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
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.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgments
and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Application of accounting policies that require critical
accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements
have been disclosed in note C below. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances
surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are
made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
C. Critical accounting estimates
The Company''s major tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes,
including amount expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also refer to note 12.
Property plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of
periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value
at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company''s assets are determined by management at the time the
asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with
similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation
are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality
rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to
changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated
in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the
post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in
response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 36 on Employee Benefits.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on
quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken
from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair
values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about
these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 31-33 for further disclosures.
The Company''s contracts with customers include promises to provide the goods & services
to the customers. Judgement is required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either
fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as schemes, incentives, cash discounts etc.
The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable
that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and is reassessed at the end of the
each period.
Estimates of rebates and discounts are sensitive to changes in circumstances and the Company''s past experience regarding
returns and rebate entitlements may not be representative of customer''s actual returns and rebate entitlements in the future.
Costs to obtain a contract are generally expensed as incurred. The assessment of this criteria requires the application of
judgement, in particular when considering if costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy future performance
obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.
D. Property, Plant and Equipment
Land (including Land Developments) is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated in the
balance sheet at cost historical less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the
cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria
are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized
impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the
Company''s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when
completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when
the assets are ready for their intended use.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment (excluding freehold land) are measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be
replaced in intervals, the Company recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation respectively.
Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a
replacement cost only if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and land developments) less their residual
values over the useful lives, using the straight- line method (âSLMâ). Management, believes that the useful lives of the assets reflect
the periods over which these assets are expected to be used, which are as follows:
Depreciation on additions/ deletions to property, plant and equipment is calculated pro-rata from/ up to the date of such additions/
deletions.
Assets individually costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at
each financial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and
the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise
from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment
is determined as the difference between sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of assets that are not yet ready for their intended use at the year end and are stated
at historical cost and impairment, if any.
In cases where a CWIP asset or project is dismantled, abandoned, or discontinued before completion or before it is ready for its
intended use:
⢠The carrying amount of the dismantled CWIP is reviewed to determine whether it is recoverable through reuse, transfer, sale, or
scrap.
⢠If the CWIP is no longer expected to yield future economic benefits, the carrying amount is written off to the Statement of Profit
and Loss as an impairment or loss on asset write-off, in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 36 - Impairment of Assets (or
relevant accounting standard).
⢠Any recoverable salvage value or proceeds from disposal, if applicable, are recognized separately in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.
The Company periodically reviews CWIP for indicators of impairment and ensures proper documentation and approvals are in
place for any decision to dismantle or abandon an ongoing capital project.
E. Investment property
Property that is held for long-term rentals yields or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes)
or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property.
Investment property are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties
are stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is
disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent
valuer.
Investment property are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use
and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.
F. Intangible Assets
Intangible asset including intangible assets under development as stated at cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.
Intangible assets in case of computer software are amortised on straight-line basis over a period of 5 years, based on management
estimate. The amortization period and the amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each financial year.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the
useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The
amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end
of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with infinite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and
loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
G. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may
be impaired. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from
continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, is considered as a cash
generating unit. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset/ cash generating unit is made.
Assets whose carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognized in the profit or loss. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset''s or cash generating unit''s net selling price and its value in
use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from
its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication
that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. A reversal
of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
H. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of
another entity. Financial Instruments are further divided in two parts viz. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit
or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that
require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades)
are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Financial Assets at amortised cost:
A Financial Assets is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
⢠The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
⢠Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral
part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are
recognised in the profit or loss.
A Financial Assets is classified as at the FVTOCI if following criteria are met:
⢠The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows (i.e. SPPI) and selling the financial
assets
Financial instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value.
Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest
income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On de-recognition
of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the statement of profit and
loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
FVTPL is a residual category for financial instruments. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization
as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to designate a financial instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI
criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition
inconsistency (referred to as accounting mismatch''). The Company has not designated any financial instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and
contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind-AS 103 applies are classified as
at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive
income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. The
classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at
FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the
amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within
equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost in the financial statements.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily de¬
recognised (i.e. removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
⢠The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
⢠The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a âpass-through'' arrangement; and either (a) the
Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement,
it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise
the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an
associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original
carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of
impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables and
bank balance;
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
⢠Lease receivables under Ind-AS 116
⢠Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are
within the scope of Ind-AS 18 (referred to as âcontractual revenue receivables'' in these financial statements)
⢠Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL
⢠Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL
The Company follows âsimplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables or contract
revenue 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 a 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 Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL. Lifetime ECL are the
expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month
ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all
the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash
flows, the Company considers:
⢠All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected
life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated
reliably, then the Company uses the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument; and
⢠Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade
receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables
and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and
changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. On that basis, the Company estimates the following provision matrix at
the reporting date:
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement
of profit and loss. This amount is grouped under the head âother expenses''. The balance sheet presentation for various financial
instruments is described below:
⢠Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as
an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the
net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the
gross carrying amount.
⢠Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
⢠Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment allowance is not
further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL amount is presented as âaccumulated impairment amount'' in the OCI.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared
credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk
to be identified on a timely basis.
The Company does not have any purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, i.e., financial assets which are
credit impaired on purchase/ origination.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial
guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings,
payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated
upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are
incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered
into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind-AS 109. Separated
embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss is designated as such at the initial date
of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses
attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to statement
of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value
of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair
value through profit and loss.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised as well as through the EIR
amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral
part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally
applies to borrowings.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities under borrowings. The
dividends on these preference shares, if any are recognised in the profit or loss as finance cost.
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 cumulative
amortisation.
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the
recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently
enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets
and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign
currency risks and interest rate risks, respectively.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into
and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as
financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The purchase contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under Ind-AS 109 are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss.
J. Recognition of Revenue
The Company derives revenues primarily from engineering, procurement and construction facilities for infrastructure projects.
Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ provides a control- based revenue recognition model and provides a five step
application approach to be followed for revenue recognition.
⢠Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
⢠Identify the performance obligations;
⢠Determine the transaction price;
⢠Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;
⢠Recognize revenue when or as an entity satisfies performance obligations
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at
an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognized when no significant uncertainty exists as to its realization or collection.
The amount recognised as revenue in its Statement of Profit and Loss is exclusive of Goods and Service Tax and net of discounts.
Contract balances
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company''s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time
is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (H) Financial
Instruments.
A contract liability is the obligation to perform the services as agreed with the customer for which the Company has received
consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. A contract liability is recognised when the payment is made
or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the
contract.
Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the
same.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive payment has been established (provided
that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
Interest income from financial assets is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and the
amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding
and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial assets to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
L. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at Banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Mar 31, 2024
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (âInd-ASâ) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act , 2013 (''Act'') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind-AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except the following:
⢠certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) are measured at fair value;
⢠assets held for sale- measured at fair value less cost to sell;
⢠defined benefit plans- plan assets measured at fair value; and
The functional currency of the Company is the Indian Rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees and all values are rounded to the nearest lakhs, except when otherwise stated.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, held primarily for the purpose of trading, expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period and cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in 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 and there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
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.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind-AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in note C below. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
The Company''s major tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also refer to note 11.
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company''s assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 36.
(iv) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 30-33 for further disclosures.
(v) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company''s contracts with customers include promises to provide the goods & services to the customers. Judgement is required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as schemes, incentives, cash discounts etc. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and is reassessed at the end of the each period.
Estimates of rebates and discounts are sensitive to changes in circumstances and the Company''s past experience regarding returns and rebate entitlements may not be representative of customer''s actual returns and rebate entitlements in the future.
Costs to obtain a contract are generally expensed as incurred. The assessment of this criteria requires the application of judgement, in particular when considering if costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.
Land (including Land Developments) is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost historical less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment (excluding freehold land) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Company recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement cost only if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and land developments) less their residual values over the useful lives, using the straight- line method (âSLMâ). Management, based on a technical evaluation, believes that the useful lives of the assets reflect the periods over which these assets are expected to be used, which are as follows:
Depreciation on additions/ deletions to property, plant and equipment is calculated pro-rata from/ up to the date of such additions/ deletions.
Assets individually costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Investment properties are properties that is held for long-term rentals yields or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes) or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer.
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.
Intangible asset including intangible assets under development are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.
Intangible assets in case of computer software are amortised on straight-line basis over a period of 5 years, based on management estimate. The amortization period and the amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each financial year.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with infinite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may be impaired. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, is considered as a cash generating unit. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset/ cash generating unit is made. Assets whose carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset''s or cash generating unit''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial Instruments are further divided in two parts viz. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Financial Assets at amortised cost:
A Financial Assets is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
⢠The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
⢠Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.
A Financial Assets is classified as at the FVTOCI if following criteria are met:
⢠The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows (i.e. SPPI) and selling the financial assets
Financial instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
FVTPL is a residual category for financial instruments. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to designate a financial instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as accounting mismatch''). The Company has not designated any financial instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind-AS 103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost in the financial statements.
c) De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
⢠The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
⢠The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a âpass-through'' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance;
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
⢠Lease receivables under Ind-AS 116
⢠Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind-AS 18 (referred to as âcontractual revenue receivables'' in these financial statements)
⢠Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL
⢠Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL
The Company follows âsimplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables or contract revenue 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 a 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 Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, the Company considers:
⢠All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the Company uses the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument; and
⢠Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. On that basis, the Company estimates the following provision matrix at the reporting date:
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is grouped under the head âother expenses''. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
⢠Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
⢠Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
⢠Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment allowance is not further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL amount is presented as âaccumulated impairment amount'' in the OCI.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
The Company does not have any purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, i.e., financial assets which are credit impaired on purchase/ origination.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind-AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss is designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities under borrowings. The dividends on these preference shares, if any are recognised in the profit or loss as finance cost.
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 cumulative amortisation.
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks, respectively.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The purchase contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under Ind-AS 109 are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss.
The Company derives revenues primarily from engineering, procurement and construction facilities for infrastructure projects.
Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ provides a control- based revenue recognition model and provides a five step application approach to be followed for revenue recognition.
⢠Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
⢠Identify the performance obligations;
⢠Determine the transaction price;
⢠Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;
⢠Recognize revenue when or as an entity satisfies performance obligations
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when no significant uncertainty exists as to its realization or collection.
The amount recognised as revenue in its Statement of Profit and Loss is exclusive of Goods and Service Tax and is net of discounts. Contract balances Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company''s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (H) Financial Instruments.
A contract liability is the obligation to perform the services as agreed with the customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. A contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
Interest income from financial assets is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

A. Basis of preparation of financial statements
(i) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (âInd-ASâ) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act , 2013 (''Act'') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind-AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
(ii) Basis of preparatio
The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except the following:
⢠certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) are measured at fair value;
⢠assets held for sale- measured at fair value less cost to sell;
⢠defined benefit plans- plan assets measured at fair value; and
The functional currency of the Company is the Indian Rupee. These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees and all values are rounded to the nearest lakhs, except when otherwise stated.
(iii) Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, held primarily for the purpose of trading, expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period and cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in 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 and there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
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.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind-AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in note C below. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
C. Critical accounting estimates
(i) Income taxes
The Company''s major tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain tax positions. Also refer to note 11.
(ii) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company''s assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
(iii) Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 36.
(iv) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 30-33 for further disclosures.
(v) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company''s contracts with customers include promises to provide the goods & services to the customers. Judgement is required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either fixed amount of customer consideration or variable consideration with elements such as schemes, incentives, cash discounts etc. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and is reassessed at the end of the each period.
Estimates of rebates and discounts are sensitive to changes in circumstances and the Company''s past experience regarding returns and rebate entitlements may not be representative of customer''s actual returns and rebate entitlements in the future.
Costs to obtain a contract are generally expensed as incurred. The assessment of this criteria requires the application of judgement, in particular when considering if costs generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy future performance obligations and whether costs are expected to be recovered.
D. Property, Plant and Equipment
Land (including Land Developments) is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost historical less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment (excluding freehold land) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Company recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement cost only if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and land developments) less their residual values over the useful lives, using the straight- line method (âSLMâ). Management, based on a technical evaluation, believes that the useful lives of the assets reflect the periods over which these assets are expected to be used, which are as follows:
Depreciation on additions/ deletions to property, plant and equipment is calculated pro-rata from/ up to the date of such additions/ deletions. Assets individually costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
E. Investment properties
Investment properties are properties that is held for long-term rentals yields or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes) or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer.
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.
F. Intangible Assets
Intangible asset including intangible assets under development are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.
Intangible assets in case of computer software are amortised on straight-line basis over a period of 5 years, based on management estimate. The amortization period and the amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each financial year.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with infinite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
G. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may be impaired. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, is considered as a cash generating unit. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset/ cash generating unit is made. Assets whose carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the profit or loss. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset''s or cash generating unit''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
H. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial Instruments are further divided in two parts viz. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
Part I - Financial Assets
a) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
b) Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Financial Assets at amortised cost:
A Financial Assets is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
⢠The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
⢠Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial Assets at FVTOCI (Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income)
A Financial Assets is classified as at the FVTOCI if following criteria are met:
⢠The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows (i.e. SPPI) and selling the financial assets
Financial instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
Financial Assets at FVTPL (Fair Value through Profit or Loss)
FVTPL is a residual category for financial instruments. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to designate a financial instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as accounting mismatch''). The Company has not designated any financial instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind-AS 103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost in the financial statements.
c) De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
⢠The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
⢠The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a âpass-through'' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
d) Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance;
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
⢠Lease receivables under Ind-AS 116
⢠Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind-AS 18 (referred to as âcontractual revenue receivables'' in these financial statements)
⢠Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL
⢠Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL
The Company follows âsimplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables or contract revenue 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 a 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 Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, the Company considers:
⢠All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the Company uses the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument; and
⢠Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. On that basis, the Company estimates the following provision matrix at the reporting date:
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is grouped under the head âother expenses''. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
⢠Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
⢠Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
⢠Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment allowance is not further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL amount is presented as accumulated impairment amount'' in the OCI.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
The Company does not have any purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, i.e., financial assets which are credit impaired on purchase/ origination.
Part II - Financial Liabilities
a) Initial recognition and measurement
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
b) Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind-AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss is designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities under borrowings. The dividends on these preference shares, if any are recognised in the profit or loss as finance cost.
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 cumulative amortisation.
c) De-recognition
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
d) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
I. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting Initial recognition and subsequent measurement:
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks, respectively.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The purchase contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under Ind-AS 109 are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss.
J. Recognition of Revenue
The Company derives revenues primarily from engineering, procurement and construction facilities for infrastructure projects.
Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ provides a control- based revenue recognition model and provides a five step application approach to be followed for revenue recognition.
⢠Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
⢠Identify the performance obligations;
⢠Determine the transaction price;
⢠Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;
⢠Recognize revenue when or as an entity satisfies performance obligations
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when no significant uncertainty exists as to its realization or collection.
The amount recognised as revenue in its Statement of Profit and Loss is exclusive of Goods and Service Tax and is net of discounts.
Contract balances Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company''s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (H) Financial Instruments.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to perform the services as agreed with the customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. A contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.
K. Other Income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
Interest income from financial assets is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

A Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical
cost convention on accrual basis. These financial statements have been
prepared in compliance with all material aspects of the accounting
standards notified under section 133 and the other relevant provisions
of the Companies Act, 2013. All assets and liabilities have been
classified as current or non-current as per the crieteria setout in the
Schedule III to the Act.
B Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which
the results are known / materialise.
C Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash
equivalents are short-term balances, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value.
D Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of
past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are
segregated based on the available information. For the purpose of Cash
Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents includes fixed deposits which
are freely remissible but excludes interest accrued on fixed deposits.
E Revenue recognition
Revenue and cost are generally accounted on accrual basis as they are
earned/incurred, except in case significant uncertainties.
Interest and other income is accounted on accrual basis.
Profit/loss on sale of investments are recognised on the day of
confirmation of transaction.
Revenue figures excludes tax component.
Dividend is accounted when the right to receive payment is established.
F Employee benefits
All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of
rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits.
The benefits like salary, short term compensated absences, etc. and the
expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized in the period in which
the employee renders the related service.
G Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the
profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of
extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and
other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential
equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted
average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their
conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share
from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares
are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless
they have been issued at a later date.
H Fixed assets
Tangible assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes interest
on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up
to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other
incidental expenses incurred up to that date.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises
its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and
any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates.
I Taxes on income
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which
gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future
income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT
is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that
future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of
losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there
will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such
assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of
other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these
can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such
items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws
and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their
realisability.
J Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation has been provided on the straight-line method as per the
useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. In
respect of computer softwares which are amortised over a period of five
years in accordance with the Accounting Standard 26 "Accounting for
Intangible Assets". Depreciation on addition to fixed assets is
provided on a pro-rata basis from the date of addition.
The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortisation
period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the
amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern.
K Provision and Contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes.
L Investments
"Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried
individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than
temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are
carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost of
investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and
duties. "
M Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance
Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of
impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated
and impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
N Service tax input credit
Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in
which the underlying service received is accounted and when there is no
uncertainty in availing / utilising credits.

1 (1) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
The financial statements are prepared and presented under the
historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting and in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 ('the
Act'), and the accounting principles generally accepted in India and
comply with the accounting standards prescribed in the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 issued by the Central Government, in
consultation with the National Advisory Committee on Accounting
Standards, to the extent applicable.
The Revised Schedule VI has become effective from 1 April, 2011 for the
preparation of financial statements. This has significantly impacted
the disclosure and presentation made in the financial statements.
Previous year's figures have been regrouped / reclassified wherever
necessary to correspond with the current year's classification
/disclosure.
1 (2) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which
the results are known / materialise.
1 (3) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash
equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are
subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
1 (4) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of
past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are
segregated based on the available information. For the purpose of Cash
Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents includes fixed deposits which
are freely remissible but excludes interest accrued on fixed deposits.
1 (5) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation has been provided on the written down method as per the
rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.
Depreciation on addition to fixed assets is provided on straight-line
method as per the rate prescribed by the Companies Act, 1956.
Depreciation on addition to fixed assets is provided on a pro-rata
basis from the date of addition.
The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortisation
period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the
amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern.
1 (6) Revenue recognition
Revenue and cost are generally accounted on accrual basis as they are
earned/incurred, except in case significant uncertainties.
- Profit/Loss on sale of Investments are recognised on the day of
confirmation of transaction.
- Dividend is accounted when the right to receive payment is
established.
- Interest and other income is accounted on accrual basis.
- Revenue figures excludes tax component.
1 (7) Fixed assets Tangible assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes interest
on borrowing attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up
to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other
incidental expenses incurred up to that date.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises
its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and
any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates.
1 (8) Investments
"Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried
individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than
temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are
carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost of
investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and
duties. "
1 (9) Employee benefits
Employee benefits of short term nature are recognized as expenses as
and when it accrues. Gratuity liability is a defined obligation. The
company pays gratuity to employees who retire or resign after a minimum
period of five years of continuous service.
1 (10)Earning per share
"Basic earning per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earning per share is computed by dividing the profit
/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary
items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to
expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by
the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving
basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity
shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be
dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the
net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential
dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning
of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date."
1 (11) Taxes on income
"Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which
gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future
income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT
is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that
future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of
losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there
will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such
assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of
other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these
can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such
items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws
and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their
realisability."
1 (12) Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance
Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
1 (13) Provision and Contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes.
1 (14) Service tax input credit
Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in
which the underlying service received is accounted and when there is no
uncertainty in availing / utilising the credits.
Mar 31, 2011
A. Basis for accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
convention on a going concern and accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles,
accounting standards notified under section 211(3C) of the Companies
Act, 1956 and the relevant provisions thereof and the applicable
guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities as on the
date of financial statements and the reported amount of income and
expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the
estimates used in preparation of financial statements are prudent and
reasonable, future results could differ from these estimates. Any
revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the
current and future periods.
C. Revenue recognition
Revenue/Income and Cost/Expenditure are generally accounted on accrual
as they are earned or incurred, except in case of significant

G. Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation as
a result of past events, for which it is probable that a cash outflow
will be required and reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and
are determined, based on estimate required to settle the obligation on
the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date
and adjusted to reflect current management estimates. A disclosure for
a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a
present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow
of resources.
H. Income tax
Income tax is accounted in accordance with accounting standard 22 "
Accounting for taxes on income" which includes current and deferred
taxes. Deferred tax assets/liabilities represents timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income recognised to the extent
considered capable of being reversed in subsequent years. Deferred tax
assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty
that sufficient future taxable income will be available, except that
deferred tax assets arising due to unabsorbed depreciation and losses
are recognised if there is virtual certainty that sufficient future
taxable income will be available to realise the same.
I. Earning per share
Basic earning per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earning per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if
contracts to issue equity shares were exercised or converted during the
year. Diluted earning per equity share is computed using the weighted
average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares
outstanding during the year, except where the results are anti-
dilutive.
J. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash
nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash
receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with
investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities of the company are segregated. Cash
and cash equivalents include cash in hand, balances with banks and
money at call and short notice but does not include interest accrued on
fixed deposits.
K. Impairment of assets
The carrying amount of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
if there is any indication of impairment based on internal / external
factors. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is greater of the assets net selling price or value in use. In
assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to the present value using the weighted average cost of
capital. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised
carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.
Previously recognised impairment loss is further provided or reversed
depending on changes in circumstances.
L. Employee benefits
Employee benefits of short term nature are recognised as expense as and
when it accrues. Long term employee benefits and post employment
