Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equities shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential 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.

|
Basic and Diluted EPS |
Rs. 12.68/- |
Rs. 18.64/- |
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential 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. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The face value of equity share is consolidated from Rs. 1 to Rs. 5 per share. Accordingly, the Earning Per Share, Book Value per share and Dividend per share is based on the face value of 5 per share. During the Year ended 31.03.2019, the Corporation has issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1. Accordingly the Earning Per Share, Book Value per share and Dividend per share is based on the increased number of shares.

As per the amendment to AS 4 (Contingencies and Event Occurring after Balance Sheet Date), if an entity declares dividend to shareholders after the balance sheet date, the entity should not recognize those dividends as a liability on the balance sheet date (because no obligation exists at that time. Such dividends are required to be disclosed in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential 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. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

36. Proposed Dividend for the year 2016-17
On 30th March 2016, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016, which became applicable w.e.f 30.03.2016 for Companies not yet following Ind AS.
As per the amendment to AS 4 (Contingencies and Event Occurring after Balance Sheet Date), if an entity declares dividend to shareholders after the balance sheet date, the entity should not recognize those dividends as a liability on the balance sheet date (because no obligation exists at that time). Such dividends are required to be disclosed in the Notes to Financial Statements.
In view of the amendment to AS 4 as per the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016, the Corporation has not made any provision for Dividend in the Annual Accounts for the year 2016-17. The proposed dividend for the year 2016-17 is Rs, 10,020,000 thousand and the corresponding Dividend Distribution Tax is Rs, 2,039,872 thousand, which will be settled after approval at the AGM in the year 2017-18. (Previous year dividend paid Rs, 8,600,000 thousand, dividend distribution tax Rs, 1, 750,788 thousand).
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential 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. The dilutive potential equity shares
are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
40. The basis of apportionment of operating expenses to the Revenue Accounts has been stated in the Significant Accounting Policy No. 8.
41. (a) Till the F. Y.2013-14,depreciation on fixed assets was charged on written-down value method at the higher of the rates specified in the Income Tax Rules, 1962 and those specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. In respect of leasehold properties and intangible assets amortization was made over the period of lease/use. From the F.Y. 2014 - 15, the Corporation has changed the method of depreciation from written down value to straight line method. However, there is no material impact on the financial statements due to such change in deprecation method.
(b) Pursuant to the enactment of the Companies Act 2013, the corporation has applied the estimated useful lives as specified in schedule II. Accordingly the un-amortized carrying value is being depreciated/amortized over the revised/remaining useful lives. The written down value of fixed assets whose lives have expired as at April 01, 2014 had been charged to Profit and Loss Account in the F.Y. 2014-15.
42. Contingent Liabilities:
(a) Partly paid up investments Rs, NIL (Previous year Rs, NIL)
(b) Underwriting commitments outstanding Rs, NIL (Previous year Rs, NIL)
(c) Claims, other than under policies not acknowledged as debts: Rs, 11,000 thousand (Previous year Rs, 11,000 thousand)
(d) Guarantees/LC given by or on behalf of the Corporation Rs, 15,864,369 thousand (Previous year Rs, 10,617,681 thousand).
(e) Statutory demand/liabilities in dispute - Income-tax demands disputed, not provided for Rs, 17,298,899 thousand (Previous year Rs, 17,027,139 thousand).
(g) Reinsurance obligations to the extent not provided for in the accounts (Previous year NIL) in view of Significant Accounting Policy No. 2.2.
(h) Majority of the pending legal/arbitration matters with the Legal Department are very old.
These cases are primarily against the erstwhile subsidiary companies and the Corporation has been impleaded as a proforma respondent because of its erstwhile status of the holding company. In MACT/Hit and Run matters, GIC is wrongly impleaded despite not being the administrator of the Solatium Scheme.
Consequently, no financial impact of such cases is envisaged.

- The arrangement was also renewed to protect exposures of other classes of business both in domestic and foreign.
As per terms of the contract, the reinsurers are required to tender a notice of cancellation at least 30 days prior to the annual anniversary date of the contract. However, no reinsurer on the panel for this contract had tendered a notice of termination by the due date of 30.04.2016. Hence, technically, the contract cannot be cancelled for the period 1.6.2016 to 31.5.2017. Therefore, no non-renewal premium is payable as on 31.05.2016 as the contract is renewed for the period 01.06.2016 to 31.05.2017.

a) If the net balance of the FWEA is in a surplus position (positive), then GIC Re will receive from the reinsurer a profit commission equal to 100% of the gross balance of the FWEA on the annual anniversary date.
b) If the net balance of the FWEA is in a deficit position (negative), then a non-renewal premium equivalent of 85% of the net negative FWEA balance is to be paid by GIC Re to the reinsurers. GIC Re will then receive, in return, the net present value of the outstanding liabilities (net of corresponding reinstatement premium).
It may be mentioned that as on 31.03.2016, the FWEA Balance is negative to the tune of INR 334 crore as advised by the concerned broker, which is subject to change up to next renewal date i.e.
31.05.2017 due to movements in premium and claim recoveries during the period. If the treaty is discontinued on the renewal date, then the final balance will be ascertained and dealt with as per treaty terms mentioned above.

For GIC Re Head Office, the actuary has adopted a chain ladder method for determining the IBNR provision for the non-life business.

For the most recent underwriting periods the chain ladder IBNR estimate is modified using a credibility weighting approach that relies on a-priori estimates of loss ratios, this approach is known as the Bornhuetter Ferguson ("BF") method. The BF method is designed to reduce the statistical variability in the IBNR estimates for the least developed underwriting years. The IBNR for GIC Re Branch Offices has been calculated and certified by the respective actuary of the branches.
Since the earned premium for each of the above revenue accounts is more than the incurred Claims, no PDR is recognized for the FY 2015-16 (Refer Significant accounting Policy No. 11).
