2 Basis of preparation of financial statements Statement of compliance
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) (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.
Basis of preparation and presentation
For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP).
The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 are the first financial statements the Company has prepared in accordance with Ind AS with the date of transition as April 1, 2016. Refer to note 38 for information on how the Company adopted Ind AS.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value or revalued amount:
a) Derivative financial instruments
b) Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments)
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
Functional and presentation currency
âThese financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is the Companyâs functional currency. All financial information presented in INR has been rounded to the nearest lakhs (up to two decimals).
The financial statements are approved for issue by the Companyâs Board of Directors on May 25, 2018.â
2A Critical accounting estimates and management judgments
The management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable.
Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
The residual values and estimated useful life of PPE are assessed by the technical team at each reporting date by taking into account the nature of asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating condition of the asset, past history of replacement and maintenance support. Upon review, the management accepts the assigned useful life and residual value for computation of depreciation/amortisation. Also, management judgement is exercised for classifying the asset as investment properties or vice versa.
Current tax
Calculations of income taxes for the current period are done based on applicable tax laws and managementâs judgement by evaluating positions taken in tax returns and interpretations of relevant provisions of law.
Deferred Tax Assets
Significant management judgement is exercised by reviewing the deferred tax assets at each reporting date to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be retained / recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Fair value
Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments where active market quotes are not available. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an armâs length transaction at the reporting date.
Impairment of Trade Receivables
The impairment for trade receivables is done based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The assumptions, selection of inputs for calculation of impairment are based on management judgement considering the past history, market conditions and forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting date.
Impairment of Non-financial assets (Property, Plant and Equipment)
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at armâs length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budgets. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Company.
Defined Benefit Plans and Other long term benefits
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other long term benefits, and the present value of such obligation are determined by the independent actuarial valuer. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in future. Management believes that the assumptions used by the actuary in determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rates are reasonable. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, this obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
2B Recent accounting pronouncements Standards issued but not yet effective
âRecent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 notified the following new and amendments to Ind ASs which the company has not applied as they are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018:
Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Ind AS 21 The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Ind AS 115 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition standard Ind AS 18 - Revenue, Ind AS 11 - Construction Contracts when it becomes effective. The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under Ind AS 115, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when âcontrolâ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. The Company has completed its evaluation of the possible impact of Ind AS 115 and will adopt the standard with all related amendments to all contracts with customers retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application. Under this transition method, cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 115 is recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period. The standard is applied retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed contracts at the date of initial application. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be material on its retained earnings and to its net income on an ongoing basis.
Ind AS 21 - The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates The amendment clarifies on the accounting of transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The appendix explains that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The company does not expect the impact of the adoption of this standard to be material on its retained earnings and to its net income on an ongoing basis.
Note:
The board of directors of the subsidiary company at their meeting held on 28th August, 2017 made a declaration of solvency and approved the proposal for voluntary winding up of the affairs of the subsidiary company.

Fair Value Measurments
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities including their levels in fair value hierarchy.
Financial risk management objectives
The Companyâs activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, credit risks, liquidity risks and market risks.
The Companyâs board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
The Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adhere to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and companyâs activities. The company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control enviornment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Companyâs activities do not have any exposure to such risks.
Foreign currency risk management & Sensitivity Analysis
The Companyâs operations do not involve transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposure to exchange rate fluctuations does not arise. Accordingly, the Company does not have any exposure to such risks.
There are no hedged or unhedged foreign currency exposure outstanding as at March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017 and April 1, 2016.
Interest rate risk management & Sensitivity Analysis
The Company has only interest free short term borrowings and accordingly is not exposed to interest rate risk.
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is not subject to major credit risk as the majority of its trade receivables are covered by means of interest free security deposit taken at the inception of the agreement.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure is the total of the carrying amount of balances with banks, short term deposits with banks, trade receivables, margin money and other financial assets excluding equity investments.
(a) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are consisting of a large number of customers. The Company has credit evaluation policy for each customer and, based on the evaluation, credit limit of each customer is defined. Wherever the Company assesses the credit risk as high, the exposure is backed by security deposits taken at the time of entering into agreement with the customers.
The Company does not have higher concentration of credit risks to a single customer. As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default in payments and makes appropriate provision at each reporting date wherever outstanding is for longer period and involves higher risk.
(b) Investments, Cash and Cash Equivalents and Bank Deposits
Credit Risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposits with the banks/financial institutions is generally low as the said deposits have been made with the banks/financial institutions, who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic rating agencies.
Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved Financial Institutions/Counterparty. Investments primarily include investment in units of quoted Mutual Funds,etc. These Mutual Funds and Counterparties have low credit risk.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and mutual funds, which carry minimal mark to market risks. The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.
Liquidity tables
The following tables detail the Companyâs remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
7 Retirement benefit plans Defined contribution plans
The total expense recognised in profit or loss of Rs. 7.23 lakhs (for the year ended March 31, 2017: Rs. 9.71 lakhs) represents contribution paid to these plans by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plan.
Defined benefit plans
In respect of Gratuity plan and Compensated absences plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as on March 31, 2018. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit cost method. The following table sets forth the status of the Gratuity Plan & Compensated absences plan of the Company and the amount recognised in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company provides the gratuity benefit through annual contributions to insurer managed funds.
These plan typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, demographic risk and salary risk.
In respect of the plan in India, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at March 31, 2018 by Mr. S. Krishnan, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of India. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
(a) Gratuity
Gratuity is payable as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. In terms of the same, gratuity is computed by multiplying last drawn salary (basic salary including dearness Allowance if any) by completed years of continuous service with part thereof in excess of six months and again by 15/26. The Act provides for a vesting period of 5 years for withdrawal and retirement and a monetary ceiling on gratuity payable to an employee on separation, as may be prescribed under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, from time to time. However, in cases where an enterprise has more favourable terms in this regard the same has been adopted.
Sensitivity Analysis
âSensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet. There was no change in the methods of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.â
As the Company does not have any plan assets, the movement of present value of defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets has not been presented.
