i. Provisions for legal claims, warranties, discounts and
returns are recognised when the Company has a present
legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events,
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future
operating losses. However, a provision is recognised if the
Company has a contract that is onerous.
ii. Provision for guarantee liability in respect of delivered ships
is made on the basis of actuarial estimates. Such provision
for all other products is made, as applicable, on the basis of
management estimates.
iii. Contingent Assets are not recognised but disclosed in the
Financial Statements when economic inflow is probable.
iv. Contingent Liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed
in the notes.
v. Provisions are measured at the present value of
management''s best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting
period on the basis as detailed below. The discount rate
used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
interest expense.
A. In non-tax civil cases
In the case of non-tax civil cases, creation of accounting
provision is considered on a review of status of
each case as on the reporting date and provision, if
required, is made in the accounts on the basis given
below:
a. In the arbitration cases where the Company has
not contested or does not intend to contest the
adverse outcome of arbitral award, the liability
is not treated as contingent and full provision is
considered.
b. Where an adverse award/ decision is given by
the arbitrator or by the trial court and an appeal
is preferred by the Company or intended to be
preferred, provision is made as follows:-
i. After the claim is disposed of by the
Arbitrator - 25% of the amount in dispute.
ii. After the claim is disposed of by Higher
Appeal Court - 50% of the amount in
dispute, until disposal by the final appeal
court. Revision petition, larger bench of
the same court is considered as part of the
relevant appeal process in the said court.
c. Full provision of the disputed claim is considered
in the case of an award/ decision where the
Company does not proceed to contest the
appellate award.
d. No provision is made in case of demands raised
by Government department/ statutory authority/
by Commissioner or Tribunal set up by such
Government department/ statutory authority
if the said demand is contested within the set¬
up of such Government department/ statutory
authority and there is likelihood of deletion of
demand in appeal based on legal opinion/latest
judgement in favour of the Company.
B. In taxation cases
In the matter of taxation cases, the claimed amount
is considered as contingent liability and no provision
is considered if the decision up to Appeal stage goes
against the Company and if the Company contests or
intends to contest such decision before the Appellate
Tribunal or decision of High Court/Supreme Court in
similar cases is against the Company.
Where the decision of Appellate tribunal is against the
Company, full provision of the amount in dispute is
made irrespective of whether the Company contests
such decision at any higher forum.
The preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with Ind - AS
requires use of estimates and assumptions for some items, which
might have an effect on their recognition and measurement in the
Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss. The actual amount
realised may differ from these estimates. Accounting estimates
could change from period to period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made
as the management becomes aware of changes in circumstances
surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and
estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/
materialised and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to
the Financial Statements.
i. Estimated useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment
(PPE):
Determination of the estimated useful life of PPE and the
assessment as to which components of the cost may be
capitalized. Useful life of PPE is based on the life prescribed in
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the
useful life is different from that prescribed in Schedule II, it is
based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the
asset, estimated usage and operating conditions of the asset, past
history of replacement and maintenance support. Assumptions
also need to be made, when the Company assesses, whether an
asset may be capitalised and which components of the cost of
the asset may be capitalised.
ii. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit
obligations:
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is
determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial
assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and
vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is
determined with reference to market yields at the end of the
reporting period on the government securities. The period to
maturity of the underlying securities corresponds to the probable
maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations.
iii. Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets:
Deferred tax asset is recognised for all the deductible temporary
differences to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary difference can
be utilised. The management assumes that taxable profits will be
available while recognising deferred tax assets.
iv. Recognition and measurement of other provisions:
The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based
on the assessment of the probability of an outflow of resources,
and on past experience and circumstances known at the balance
sheet date. The actual outflow of resources at a future date may
therefore vary from the figure included in other provisions.
v. Discounting of long-term financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured at fair value on initial
recognition. In case of financial liabilities, which are required to
be subsequently measured at amortised cost, interest is accrued
using the effective interest rate method.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifies new standards or
amendments to the existing standards under companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) rules as issued from time to time. On 12th
August 2024, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) announced the
notification of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 117, Insurance

for accounting for Insurance contracts, which means entities applying
this standard will no longer rely on previous accounting practices
such as Ind AS 115 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) or Ind
AS 109 (Financial Instruments), unless there is a specific exemption
provided by Ind AS 117. However, The Company being not an issuer
of "Insurance Contracts", the standards stand not applicable for the
Company.
Ind AS 116 - Leases - The Amendment specifically address the
accounting for sale and leaseback transactions under Ind AS 116. A
sale and leaseback transaction is a financial arrangement in which an
entity (the seller-lessee) sells an asset to another entity (the buyer-
lessor) and subsequently rents the same asset back. The Company do
not have such transactions and accordingly, there is no impact on its
financial statements.

approval is awaited, Liquidated Damages (LD) of '' 480 lakh in respect of performance obligation already completed and revenue in respect
of which has already been recognised is treated as contingent liability. In respect of performance obligation for the balance portion as on
the reporting date, LD has not been considered since corresponding revenue is not recognized.
(a) Contingent liability on account of Sales Tax amount to '' 506.83 lakh (31 March, 2024''506.83 lakh) towards assessment dues and demand

debt and accordingly not provided for in the Accounts as all the issues are under first stage of appeal. Dispute for FY 2017-18 amounting to
'' 266.52 Lakh pertaining to demand of interest for arbitary late payment has been settled in GST Amnesty Scheme u/s 128A and demand
has been vacated, hence the contingent liability of '' 266.52 Lakh is withdrawn.

debt and accordignly not provided in the Accounts.
(e) The amounts shown under Contingent Liabilities represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information.
The uncertainties and timing of the cash flows are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked
by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be estimated accurately. The Company does not expect any
reimbursement in respect of above Contingent Liabilities.
In the opinion of the Management, no provision is considered necessary for the disputes mentioned above on the grounds that there are fair
chances of successful outcome of appeals made by Company.
(i) Leave obligations
The leave obligations cover the Company''s liability for sick and earned leave.
Based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Investment risk:
The defined benefit plans (except Provident Fund) are funded with insurance companies of India. The Company does not have any liberty to
manage the funds provided to insurance companies.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to the Government of India
bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
A decrease in the interest rate on plan assets will increase the plan liability.
Life expectancy:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both
during and at the end of the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Salary growth risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the
salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
(ix) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions
Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending 31 March, 2026 are '' 2,217.31 Lakh.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation (gratuity) is 8 years and Post-retirement medical benefits is 7 years. The
expected maturity analysis of undiscounted gratuity and post-retirement medical benefits are as follows:
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised
and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide
an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the
three levels prescribed under the Indian accounting standard.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial
loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) including deposits with banks and
financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
(i) Trade receivables and contract assets
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to
customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally carrying no credit terms. Outstanding
customer receivables are regularly monitored. Trade receivables are primarily from Navy (owned by Govt. of India), hence the credit
risk is considered low. Further, the Company receives advance against orders which also mitigates the credit risk. For ageing of trade
receivables please refer note 10(a).
(ii) Financial instruments and deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company in accordance with the Company''s policy.
Investment of surplus funds are made in accordance with DPE Guidelines on investment of surplus funds of the Company. The limits
are set to minimise the concentration of risks and to mitigate financial loss through counterparty''s potential failure to make payments.
The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the Balance Sheet at 31 March, 2025 and 31 March, 2024 is
the carrying amounts as illustrated in Note 6 (b), Note 10 (b) and Note 10 (c ).
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by
delivering cash or another financial asset.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an
adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to the nature of the underlying business, the Company
maintains sufficient cash and liquid investments available to meet its obligations.
The Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these,
monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements, if any.
The tables below analyse the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all
financial liabilities.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted and re-scheduled cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal to
their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
Foreign currency risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk since it imports components from foreign vendors. Also, the Company exports some of it''s
ships to foreign buyers and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions. Foreign exchange risk arises from
future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency
(i.e. ''). The outflow on account of imports and payments in foreign currency is mostly reimbursable from the buyers. The risk in case of
export is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
Foreign currency risk exposure
The Company''s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR (foreign currency amount multiplied by
closing rate), are as follows:
An inter-governmental agreement between Russian Federation and Government of India was reached for restructuring of Russian deferred state
credit in Ruble in connection with procurement.
As per the said agreement, the outstanding debt in Ruble as on 01.04.1992 was converted to Indian Rupees at the difference in Rupee-Ruble
exchange rate between 01.04.1990 and 01.04.1992 and such amount of exchange rate difference was rescheduled by Government of India
under a deferred Rupee payment arrangement payable over 45 years till 2037. These rescheduled payments are also reimbursable by Indian Navy.
Such amount is accordingly held as Foreign Suppliers Deferred Credit as at 31 March, 2025 and aggregated to '' 903.84 Lakh (Undiscounted
amount being '' 1,591.81 Lakh) [31 March, 2024: '' 911.93 Lakh (Undiscounted amount being '' 1,668.94 Lakh)].
(a) The Company follows a general practice of undertaking physical verification of all the fixed assets in a phased manner in a block of three
years. In the current year, such physical verification has been done in the GRSE''s Rajabagan Dockyard (RBD) Unit, 61 Park Unit, GRSE Bhavan,
Corporate Planning, Corporate Communication & Business Development Dept. and Commercial Shipbuilding dept. Discrepancies found have
been appropriately dealt in the Accounts.
(b) The 62 acres of land for setting up the Diesel Engine Plant at Ranchi was obtained free of cost from Heavy Engineering Corporation Ltd.,
Ranchi (HEC) in 1966 as a part of industrialization drive at the behest of MoD, Govt. of India and Govt. of Bihar. GRSE is in uninterrupted
possession of the land since then and has created permanent structures thereon (title deed is with HEC, Ranchi). Various assets of the Diesel
Engine Plant, Ranchi having book value of Rs. 1,509.65 Lakh (original value '' 3,756.92 Lakh) as on 31 March, 2025 have been installed
/ placed on the said premises. Ignoring the right of GRSE in the said land, the then Govt. of Bihar executed a Deed of Conveyance in
favour of HEC in February, 1996. Later, HEC vide a letter of 07 August, 1999 raised a claim for a 30-year lease effective from 01.04.1996
of '' 1,488 Lakh as onetime premium and a sum of '' 148.8 Lakh p.a. being 10% of the said premium as annual lease rent which GRSE
repudiated. During April, 2013, HEC unilaterally referred the disputes to PMA, DPE, Govt. of India for arbitration and subsequently inter alia
prayed before PMA for directing GRSE to enter into lease agreement for totally baseless, frivolous and absurd lease rent and premium with
interest for further period and to declare GRSE as "unauthorized occupant" etc. GRSE raised preliminary objection regarding maintainability
and sustainability of the alleged reference of HEC and rejection of claim as the same are not sustainable on facts as well as in law. The
matter was under adjudication before Smt. Zoya Hadke, Sole Arbitrator, PMA who after hearing both the parties at length, vide Order dated
30.6.2015 held that in absence of any agreement between the parties, the Arbitral Forum lacks jurisdiction to settle the dispute and rejected
the reference of HEC. Accordingly, the arbitration matter stood disposed off. No appeal filed by HEC.
GRSE has also filed a Civil Suit (TS 117 of 2014) in March, 2014 before a competent Civil Court at Ranchi, HEC and the Govt. of Jharkhand
being the defendants, with prayer for declaration by the Court that GRSE has acquired irrevocable licence coupled with interest in the subject
land by setting up Diesel Engine Plant permanently thereon free of cost in accordance with the law of the land and for permanent injunction
restraining HEC from interfering with the possession of land by GRSE and running industry thereon. Hearing of the case is in progress.
HEC has filed an Application under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971 before the Estate Officer appointed
under the said Act by HEC, for eviction of GRSE alleging as ''unauthorised occupant'' from the said land occupied by DEP Unit of GRSE. [Case
no. P.P. ACT/REV/201801 dated 28.4.2018]
GRSE has filed a Writ Petition [being WP ( C ) No. 3359 of 2018] before the Hon''ble Jharkhand High Court praying for ''declaration'' that
summary proceeding before the Estate Officer under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act is not maintainable
involving intricate and complicated questions of law pertaining to title, right, interest and possession to the land and moreover, competent
civil court at Ranchi is already adjudicating the matter on the self-same cause of action. The High Court on 14.08.2018 directed HEC to file
Opposition and not to evict GRSE from the said land. Meanwhile, upon approach by HEC, process to find out various possibilities to arrive at
amicable settlement has been initiated.
In view of the above an amount of '' 5,803.20 Lakh (Previous year '' 5,654.40 Lakh) without interest has been considered as contingent
liability not acknowledged as debt.
Letters seeking confirmation of balances in the accounts as at 31 December, 2024 of sundry creditors were sent to vendors. On the basis of replies
received from certain vendors, adjustments wherever necessary have been made in the Accounts.
(a) The Company has sent letters seeking confirmations of balances in respect of its Debtors Though no response has been received from the
debtors, in the opinion of the Company, the balances have realisable values equal to the amount as stated in the books in the ordinary course
of business, unless otherwise stated.
b) The amounts received from customers are mainly received in respect of ship division, customers being Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guards.
In respect of other divisions, advance from customers are received mainly from Government Departments.
With introduction of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS 116) effective from 01.04.2019, the Company has adopted the same using retrospective
transition method.
The actual lease rentals paid which were hitherto recognised as expense are now accounted as reduction in lease liability.
During the year, Rent and transport charges under other expenses, for the rent paid for lease hold land of '' 55.20 Lakh (FY 2023-24: '' 60.19 Lakh)
and vehicle of '' 127.28 Lakh (FY 2023-24: '' 110.21 Lakh) has been adjusted with corresponding lease liability. Finance cost includes unwinding

i. Provisions for legal claims, warranties, discounts and returns are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. However, a provision is recognised if the Company has a contract that is onerous.

In the case of non-tax civil cases, creation of accounting provision is considered on a review of status of each case as on the reporting date and provision, if required, is made in the accounts on the basis given below:
a. In the arbitration cases where the Company has not contested or does not intend to contest the adverse outcome of arbitral award, the liability is not treated as contingent and full provision is considered.

However, where the decision of Appellate tribunal is against the Company, full provision of the amount in
dispute is made irrespective of whether the Company contests such decision at any higher forum.
Note 2: Critical Estimates and Judgments:
The preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with Ind - AS requires use of estimates and assumptions for some items, which might have an effect on their recognition and measurement in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss. The actual amount realised may differ from these estimates. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/ materialised and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements.
i. Estimated useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE):
Determination of the estimated useful life of PPE and the assessment as to which components of the cost may be capitalized. Useful life of PPE is based on the life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful life is different from that prescribed in Schedule II, it is based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, estimated usage and operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement and maintenance support. Assumptions also need to be made, when the Company assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which components of the cost of the asset may be capitalised.
ii. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations:
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on the government bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds corresponds to the probable maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations.
iii. Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets:

The tables below analyse the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all financial liabilities.
Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (i.e. '').

The risk in case of export is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.

During April, 2013, HEC unilaterally referred the disputes to PMA, DPE, Govt. of India for arbitration and subsequently inter alia prayed before PMA for directing GRSE to enter into lease agreement for totally baseless, frivolous and absurd lease rent and premium with interest for further period and to declare GRSE as "unauthorized occupant" etc. GRSE raised preliminary objection regarding maintainability and sustainability of the alleged reference of HEC and rejection of claim as the same are not sustainable on facts as well as in law. The matter was under adjudication before Smt. Zoya Hadke, Sole Arbitrator, PMA who after hearing both the parties at length, vide Order dated 30.6.2015 held that in absence of any agreement between the parties, the Arbitral Forum lacks jurisdiction to settle the dispute and rejected the reference of HEC.

Hearing of the case is in progress.
HEC has filed an Application under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971 before the Estate Officer appointed under the said Act by HEC, for eviction of GRSE alleging as ''unauthorised occupant'' from the said land occupied by DEP Unit of GRSE. [Case no. P.P. ACT/REV/201801 dated 28.4.2018]
GRSE has filed a Writ Petition [being WP ( C ) No. 3359 of 2018] before the Hon''ble Jharkhand High Court praying for ''declaration'' that summary proceeding before the Estate Officer under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act is not maintainable involving intricate and complicated questions of law pertaining to title, right, interest and possession to the land and moreover, competent civil court at Ranchi is already adjudicating the matter on the self-same cause of action. The High Court on 14.08.2018 directed HEC to file Opposition and not to evict GRSE from the said land. Meanwhile, upon approach by HEC, process to find out various possibilities to arrive at amicable settlement has been initiated.

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied while calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitvity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
(vii) The major categories of plan assets
The defined benefit plans (except Provident Fund) are funded with insurance companies of India. The Company does not have any liberty to manage the funds provided to insurance companies. Thus, the composition of each major category of plan assets has not been disclosed.
(viii) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below: Investment risk:
The defined benefit plans (except Provident Fund) are funded with insurance companies of India. The Company does not have any liberty to manage the funds provided to insurance companies.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to the Government of India bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
Interest risk:
A decrease in the interest rate on plan assets will increase the plan liability.
Life expectancy:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and at the end of the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Salary growth risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
(i) Trade receivables and contract assets
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally carrying no credit terms. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Trade receivables are primarily from Navy (owned by Govt. of India), hence the credit risk is considered low. Further, the Company receives advance against orders which also mitigates the credit risk. For ageing of trade receivables please refer note 10(b).
(ii) Financial instruments and deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company in accordance with the Company''s policy. Investment of surplus funds are made in accordance with DPE Guidelines on investment of surplus funds of the Company. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and to mitigate financial loss through counterparty''s potential failure to make payments.
The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the Balance Sheet at 31 March, 2022 and 31 March, 2021 is the carrying amounts as illustrated in Note 6 (b),Note 10 (a),Note 10 (c) and Note 10 (d).
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to the nature of the underlying business, the Company maintains sufficient cash and liquid investments available to meet its obligation.
The Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements, if any.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all financial liabilities.
Foreign currency risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk since it imports components from foreign vendors. Also, the Company exports some of it''s ships to foreign buyers and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (''). The outflow on account of imports and payments in foreign currency is mostly reimbursable from the buyers. The risk in case of export is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.

Note 1: Critical estimates and judgements:
The preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with Ind - AS requires use of estimates and assumptions for some items, which might have an effect on their recognition and measurement in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss. The actual amounts realised may differ from these estimates, Accounting estimates could change from period to period, Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/materialised and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements,
Estimates and assumptions are required in particular for:
i. Estimated useful life of Property, plant and equipment (PPE):
Determination of the estimated useful life of PPE and the assessment as to which components of the cost may be capitalized. Useful life of PPE is based on the life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. in cases, where the useful life is different from that prescribed in Schedule II, it is based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset estimated usage and operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement and maintenance support. Assumptions also need to be made, when the Company assesses, whether an asset may be capitalised and which components of the cost of the asset may be capitalised.
ii. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations:
The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on the government bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds correspond to the probable maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations.
iii, Recognition of deferred tax assets:
A Deferred tax asset is recognised for all the deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. The management assumes that taxable profits will be available while recognising deferred tax assets.
iv. Recognition and measurement of other provisions:
The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based on the assessment of the probability of an outflow of resources, and on past experience and circumstances known at the balance sheet date. The actual outflow of resources at a future date may therefore vary from the figure included in other provisions,
v Discounting of long-term financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured at fair value on initial recognition. In case of financial liabilities, which are required to be subsequently measured at amortised cost, interest is accrued using the effective interest rate method.

Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of ships and other products delivered which are still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. Management estimates the related provision for future warranty claims in respect of delivered ships based on the actuarial report which takes into consideration the historical warranty claim information as well as recent trends that might suggest that past cost information may differ from future claims. The assumptions made in the current period are consistent with those in the prior year.

Since the Company has made appeals before respective Appellate Authorities against the impugned demands, those demands have not been acknowledged as debts and accordingly not provided for in the accounts.
c) Service Tax Authorities have raised a demand of Rs. 121.30 lakh (31 March, 2017: Rs.121.30 lakh) against imposition of Service Tax on technical fees paid to foreign technicians prior to 18.04.2006.

e) Contingent Liability on account of Liquidated Damages (LD),
ASWC Project:
The contractual delivery date of Yard 3019 (3rd in the series of 4 Ships) was July, 2014. The Ship was delivered on 14 October, 2017 with a delay of 38 months 14 days. The case for delivery extension of Yard 3019 was taken up with the customer (Indian Navy), post-delivery of the Ship. Warship Overseeing Team (WOT), Kolkata, the onsite representatives of Indian Navy, have recommended a delay of 2 months 10 days attributable to GRSE. Considering a grace period of 1 month, provision for LD in case of this Yard has been made @ 1.33% of Basic Ship Cost for delay of 1 month 10 days in FY 2017-18. Presently, the delays are being scrutinized by lHQ/MoD(N)/DND with the help of WOT, Kolkata before forwarding its final recommendation to MoD for amendment to contract for delivery date extension.
Delay in case of any Ship of a series has a cascading effect on delivery schedule of the follow-on ships of the project, Moreover, the factors leading to delays vary on a case to case basis and the assessment of the delays is made independently by IHQ/MoD(N) post-delivery of each Ship depending on the facts and circumstances of each case.
As per the Company''s internal assessment, the delays in case of last Ship (Yard 3020) are not attributable to GRSE and are likely to be waived off by the customer. However, there may be a situation where the Company may be held accountable for some delays during final assessment at IHQ/MoD(Navy) for which there is no measure to quantify such unforeseen delays, and hence, due to this uncertainty, no provision for LD has been made In this regard.
In view of the above, the Company has decided to continue with its disclosure of Rs. 7,442.10 lakh for Yard 3020 being 5% of Basic Ship Cost, as Contingent Liability (31 March, 2017 : Rs.14,731.35 lakh w.r.t Yard 3019 and Yard 3020).
f) The amounts shown under Contingent Liabilities represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and timing of the cash flows are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be estimated accurately. The Company does not expect any reimbursement in respect of above Contingent liabilities, in the opinion of the Management, no provision is considered necessary for the disputes mentioned above on the grounds that there are fair chances of successful outcome of appeals.
B) Contingent Assets
i) Central Coalfield Limited (CCL) awarded four contracts to GRSE in early 1990 for the supply, erection and commissioning of DG sets, which was executed by GRSE. CCL did not honour the contract in totality and withheld an amount of Rs, 1,553 lakh since then. The matter was referred to arbitration before the PMA. The Arbitral Award published in 2008, was in favour of GRSE, whereby CCL was required to pay Rs. 1,489 lakh within 90 days from the Award plus interest at prescribed rates. Subsequently, CCL appealed against Award, Appellate Authority rejected the appeals filed by CCL and upheld the Arbitral Award in 2011. CCL filed Writ Petition against the Arbitral Awards before the Honâble Jharkhand High Court in 2011, which is yet to be listed for admission. Repeated requests to CCL from time to time for settlement of awarded sum have remained in fructuous. GRSE had since referred the matter to Cabinet Secretariat through MoD as per PMA guidelines for implementation of the Awards.
Under the circumstances, in order to resolve the issue, a meeting was held on 18.06.2018 at the CMD level of both the companies, and accordingly an amount of Rs,1,489 lakh (Awarded amount, exclusive of any interest) has been considered as a Contingent Asset.
ii) The land and various other assets of erstwhile Raja Bagan Dockyard of Central Inland Water Transport Corporation Limited (CIWTC) was purchased by the Company in the Year 2006. The assets like vessels, cranes etc. were not taken over by the Company and were to be removed by CIWTC which they did not remove. CIWTC is presently under liquidation, The Company has raised a claim upon the liquidator towards ground rent and reimbursement of payment of interest on Excise Duty by the Company of Rs. 2,429.74 lakh. The matter is pending with the liquidator. Therefore, this has been considered as a Contingent Asset.
iii) LD imposed and collected by the Company from its subcontractors as per order terms w.r.t Yard 3020 amounting to Rs, 1,515.94 lakh (31 March, 2017 : Rs, 3,502.78 lakh w.r.t Yard 3018, Yard 3019 and Yard 3020) which need not be reimbursed to the customer based on the terms of delivery extension has been considered as Contingent Asset [Refer Note 29 (A) (e)j.

(iv) Balance sheet recognition
a) Post retirement medical scheme
The amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet and the movements in the net defined benefit obligation over the year are as follows:
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied while calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitvity analysis did not change compared to the prior period,
(vii) The major categories of plan assets
The defined benefit plans are funded with insurance companies of India. The Company does not have any liberty to manage the funds provided to insurance companies. Thus, the composition of each major category of plan assets has not been disclosed.
(viii) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:
Investment
The defined benefit plans are funded with insurance companies of India. The Company does not have any liberty to manage the funds provided to insurance companies.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to the Government of India bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit,
Interest risk:
A decrease In the interest rate on plan assets will increase the plan liability.
Life expectancy:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and at the end of the employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan liability.
Salary growth risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan liability,
(ix) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions
Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending 31 March, 2019 are Rs. 600 lakh.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation (gratuity) is 12 years (31 March, 2017 - 12 years) and Post-retirement medical benefits is 37 years (31 March, 2017 - 37 years), The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted gratuity and post-retirement medical benefits is as follows:
Note 3: Related party transactions
The Company is controlled by the President of India having ownership interest of 100%
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the Indian accounting standard,
Specific valuation technique used to value financial instruments include the fair value of the remaining financial instruments which is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values.
The fair values for financial instruments were calculated based on cash flows discounted using Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR) of State Bank of India on the reporting date for the same maturity. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.
Note 4: Financial risk management
The Company''s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (i.e. foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk).
This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk;
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
i) Trade receivables and unbilled revenue
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally carrying no credit terms. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Trade receivables are primarily from Navy (owned by Govt, of India), hence the credit risk is considered low. Further, the Company receives advance against orders who also mitigates the credit risk. The ageing of trade receivables as at the balance sheet date is given below. The age analysis has been considered from the due date:
ii) financial instruments and deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company in accordance with the Company''s policy. Investment of surplus funds are made in accordance with DPE Guidelines on investment of surplus funds of the Company. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and, therefore .mitigate financial loss through counterparty''s potential failure to make payments.
The Companyâs maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the Balance Sheet at 31 March, 2018 and 31 March, 2017 is the carrying amounts as illustrated in Note 6 (d) and Note 10 (c).
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to the nature of the underlying business, the Company maintains sufficient cash and liquid investments available to meet its obligation,
The Company''s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements, if any,
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the Company''s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for all financial liabilities.
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
(C) Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk since it imports components from foreign vendors. Also, the Company exports some of it''s ships to foreign buyers and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (Rs.). The outflow on account of imports and payments in foreign currency is mostly reimbursable from the buyers, The risk in case of export is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
Foreign currency risk exposure
The Company''s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in !NR (foreign currency amount multiplied by closing rate), areas follows:
(a) Risk management
The Company''s objectives when managing capital are to:
- safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital,
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares,
The amount mentioned under total equity in balance sheet is considered as Capital.
Note: 5: Construction contracts
On the balance sheet date, the Company reports the net contract position for each contract as either an asset or a liability. A contract represents an asset where costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceed progress billings; a contract represents a liability where the opposite is the case.
