2 Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS

The financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ''Act'') [the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current/ non current classification of assets and liabilities.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company''s Board of Directors on May 25, 2023.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

(a) certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value;

(b) defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value; and

(iii) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company''s accounting policies.

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

The area involving critical estimates or judgements is:

- Estimation of defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets â Note 20

- Useful life of property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets â Note 3.11

- Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies â Note 12 and 25

- Provision for tax â Note 24

- Deferred tax assets â Note 6

- Leases and lease classification â Note 3.5 and 32B

- Financial instrument â Note 28 and 30

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(iv) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (''the functional currency''). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company''s functional and presentation currency.

(v) Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest Lakhs as permitted by Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise stated.

3 Significant accounting policies

3.1 Segment reporting

In accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 108 - "Segment Reporting", the Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling of industrial air compressors of various capacities and providing related services (Air solutions) and has no other primary reportable segments. The Company''s chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviews the performance of the Company as a whole as there are no operations other than Air solutions segment. Consequently, there is only one segment and hence no separate segment disclosures have been presented as such information is available in the financial statements.

3.2 Foreign exchange transactions and translations

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at prevailing rate at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in the statement of profit and loss."

3.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

(a) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of products is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and liquidated damages etc. as specified in the contract with the customer. Additionally, revenue excludes taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Other contract assets are classified as other assets.

Unearned and deferred revenue ("contract liability") is recognised when there is billings in excess of revenues. Advances received for goods and services are reported as liabilities until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.

(b) Sale of services

I installation and commissioning revenue is recognised in the period in which the services are rendered. Service revenue from annual maintenance contract are recognised on time proportion basis over the period of contract.

Revenue from services are disclosed exclusive of tax.

The Company provides business support and auxiliary services to certain fellow subsidiaries. Revenue from such services is recognised in the period in which the services are rendered. The recognition is based on the terms of the contract with the respective customers, which is on a cost-plus basis.

(d) Government grants - Export incentives:

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

(e) Interest income from deposits with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.

(f) Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition

- The Company''s contracts with customers could include promises to transfer multiple goods to a customer. The Company assesses the goods promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligation involves judgement to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.

The Company has determined that the revenues as disclosed in Note 16 are disaggregated into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors."

3.4 Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses, if any.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences or timing differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, if any, only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

3.5 Leases

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

As a lessee:

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

The Company recognises the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense over the lease term.

As a lessor:

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Company''s expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

3.6 Impairment of assets

Assessment is done whenever there is an event or change in circumstances as to where 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 asset, 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s fair value less cost of disposal and 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. Non financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

3.7 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

3.8 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials comprises cost of purchases. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate portion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, computed on normal capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on a first-in first-out basis. Cost of inventories also include all others costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates, discounts and refundable duties and taxes. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

3.9 Other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

(a) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

(b) those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value (other than trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price) plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in statement of profit and loss.

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 30 details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the Company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the Company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

3.10 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

3.11 Property, plant and equipment

I tems of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

(a) Depreciation methods, estimated useful life and residual value:

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful life as follows:

Asset	Management estimate of useful life	Useful life as per Schedule II
Land - leasehold	99 years or lease term, whichever is lower.	NA
Buildings	25-40 years	30-60 years
Leasehold improvements	Useful life of assets in line with the lease term	NA
Plant and machinery	10-15 years	15 years
Plant and machinery - given on lease	2-5 years	NA
Computer systems	3-5 years	3-6 years
Electrical installations	10 years	10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-5 years	10 years
Vehicles	5 years	8 years
Small tools	5-15 years	NA
Office equipment	5 years	5 years

The property, plant and equipment acquired under lease is depreciated over the asset''s useful life or over the lease term, whichever is lower.

The useful life has been determined based on technical evaluation done by the internal expert which are different than those specified by Schedule II to the Act, in order to reflect the actual usage of the assets. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.

The assets'' residual values and useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset''s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset''s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/ (losses).

(b) Research and development:

Expenditure on development is capitalised as intangible asset and depreciated in accordance with depreciation policy of the Company. Expenditure incurred during the research phase is expensed as incurred.

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognised as an intangible asset when all of the following criteria are met:

- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

- There is an intention to complete the asset.

- There is an ability to use or sell the asset.

- The asset will generate future economic benefits.

- Adequate resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the asset.

- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development can be measured reliably.

Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use and it is amortised on straight line method over the estimated useful life. Expenditure that cannot be distinguished between research phase and development phase is expensed as incurred.

3.12 Intangible assets

Operating software is capitalised along with the related assets. Other computer software is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.

The Company amortises intangible assets (Computer software) with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over 3-5 years and the useful life is reviewed at end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. The amortisation method and the estimated useful life of intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting period.

3.13 Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year, which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 45 to 90 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

3.14 Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as other gains/(losses).

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

3.15 Borrowing costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

3.16 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and others 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.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

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. In case of long term provisions, they are disclosed by discounting at the rate used to determine the present value, which 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.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation, that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

3.17 Employee benefits

Short term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligation in balance sheet.

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.

The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses. The Company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Other long term employee benefit obligations:

(i) Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed is being disclosed under short term obligations. The Company''s liability is determined by an independent actuary (using the projected unit credit method) at the end of each year.

(ii) The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity which is managed by trust.

(b) defined contribution plans - provident fund contributions to employees'' provident fund organisation.

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income net of the related tax effect. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Contribution towards provident fund for certain employees upto January 31,2022 was made to a Trust administered by the Company till January 31,2022. The trust invested in specific designated instruments as permitted by Indian law. The remaining portion was contributed to the government administered pension fund. The rate at which the annual interest was payable to the beneficiaries by the trust was being administered by the Government. The Company carried an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The Trust surrendered the Provident Fund exemption granted to the Company under Employees'' Providents Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1956 on its own volition w.e.f. February 01, 2022. Post February 01, 2022, contribution towards provident fund is being made to Government administered provident fund scheme.

Contribution towards provident fund for certain employees upto January 31,2022 and all employees from February 01, 2022 is made to the regulatory authorities which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Government administered provident fund scheme equal to a specified percentage of the eligible employee''s salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited with in a Government administered provident fund. The Company has no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions. The Company''s contribution to the provident fund is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Termination benefits in the nature of voluntary retirement benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer, if any offer is made to encourage voluntary redundancy. These are recognised as and when incurred.

3.18 A. Share based payments - Executives

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain employees of the Company by the ultimate holding company in the form of employee option plan and restricted stock units (RSU) (equity settled transactions). The stock options vest rateably over a period of three to five years and expire at the end of ten years, subject to conditions related to termination of employment. The RSU will vest in equally over three to five years. Once they vest, each unit is converted into a share of stock.

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in statement of profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

B. Share based payments - All employees

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to all employees of the Company by the ultimate holding company in the form of restricted stock units (RSU) (equity settled transactions). The RSU will vest in equally over two years. Once they vest, each unit is converted into a share of stock. Ingersoll Rand Inc recharges the cost pertaining to the RSU issued to the employees of the Company.

The fair value of options granted by the ultimate holding company''s share based compensation plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in ''Other financial liabilities''. The estimated fair value of options granted, determined on the date of grant, is charged to statement of profit and loss on a graded basis over the vesting period of options. At the end of each period, the entity determines the fair value of options granted. It recognises the impact of the change in fair value, if any, in equity, with a corresponding adjustment to ''Other financial liabilities''.

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in equity, with a corresponding adjustment to ''Other financial liabilities''.

3.19 Earning per share

Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

3.20 On March 31, 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023. This notification has resulted into amendments in the following existing accounting standards which are applicable to the Company from April 1, 2023.

(b) Sale of services

Revenue from services are disclosed exclusive of tax.

(d) Government grants - Export incentives:

(e) Interest income from deposits with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.

(f) Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition

- The Company uses judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price for a performance obligation. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service promised in the contract. Where standalone selling price is not observable, the Company uses the expected cost plus margin approach to allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.

3.4 Income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

3.5 Leases

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

3.6 Impairment of assets

3.7 Cash and cash equivalents

3.8 Inventories

3.9 Other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

(a) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss), and

(b) those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

3.10 Offsetting financial instruments

3.11 Property, plant and equipment

Leasehold land is carried at historical cost and is amortised over the period of lease on straight line method. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

(a) Depreciation methods, estimated useful life and residual value:

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful life as follows:

Asset	Management estimate of useful life	Useful life as per Schedule II
Leasehold land	99 years	NA
Buildings	25-40 years	30-60 years
Leasehold improvements	Useful life of assets in line with the lease term	NA
Plant and machinery	10-15 years	15 years
Plant and machinery - given on lease	2-5 years	NA
Computer systems	3-5 years	3-6 years
Electrical installations	10 years	10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-5 years	10 years
Vehicles	5 years	8 years
Small tools	5-15 years	NA
Office equipment	5 years	5 years

The property, plant and equipment acquired under lease is depreciated over the asset''s useful life or over the lease term, whichever is lower.

(b) Research and development:

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognised as an intangible asset when all of the following criteria are met:

- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

- There is an intention to complete the asset.

- There is an ability to use or sell the asset.

- The asset will generate future economic benefits.

- Adequate resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the asset.

- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development can be measured reliably.

3.12 Intangible assets

The Company amortises intangible assets (Computer software) with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over 3-5 years, less the residual values and the useful life is reviewed at end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. The amortisation method and the estimated useful life of intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting period.

3.13 Trade and other payables

3.14 Borrowings

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

3.15 Borrowing costs

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

3.16 Provisions and contingent liabilities

3.17 Employee benefits

Short term obligations:

Other long term employee benefit obligations:

(i) Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company''s liability is determined by an independent actuary (using the projected unit credit method) at the end of each year.

(ii) The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity and provident fund (upto January 31, 2022), which are managed by trusts.

(b) defined contribution plans - provident fund contributions to employees'' provident fund organisation.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Contribution towards provident fund for certain employees upto January 31,2022 and all employees from February 01, 2022 is made to the regulatory authorities which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Government administered provident fund scheme equal to a specified percentage of the eligible employee''s salary. Amounts collected under the provident fund plan are deposited with a Government administered provident fund. The Company has no further obligation to the plan beyond its monthly contributions. The Company''s contribution to the provident fund is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

3.18 A. Share based payments - Executives

The fair value of options granted by the ultimate holding company''s share based compensation plan is recognised

as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The estimated fair value of options granted, determined on the date of grant, is charged to statement of profit and loss on a graded basis over the vesting period of options.

B. Share based payments - All employees

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in equity, with a corresponding adjustment to ''Other financial liabilities''.

3.19 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

3.20 Earning per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

Mar 31, 2018

1.1 Segment reporting

The Board, at their meeting held on 21 September 2015 decided to discontinue the operations at the Chennai Plant (i.e., Environment Solutions Business). The Company entered into a Termination Agreement with Ingersoll-Rand Climate Solutions Private Limited (IRCSPL), fellow subsidiary, whereby IRCSPL has agreed to reimburse all losses and expenses directly or indirectly, suffered or incurred by the Company upto the time all assets are sold and proceeds received by the Company. During the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company has disposed off all the assets held for sale relating to the Environment Solutions Business.

The Company reported the following two segments until 30 June 2017

(a) Air Solutions

(b) Environment Solutions

Effective 1 July 2017, the Companyâs chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviewed the performance of the Company as a whole as there are no operations in Environment Solutions segment. Consequently, there is only one segment and hence no separate segment disclosures have been presented as such information is available in the financial statements.

1.2 Foreign exchange transactions and translations

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at prevailing rate at the dates of the transactions.

1.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of the Companyâs activities as described below.

(a) Sale of goods:

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards are transferred in accordance with the terms of sale, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customersâ acceptance of the products.

Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty, where applicable, and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, liquidated damages, value added taxes and goods and service tax.

(b) Sale of services:

Installation and commissioning revenue is recognised in the period in which the services are rendered. Service revenue from annual maintenance contract are recognised on time proportion basis over the period of contract.

Revenue from services are disclosed exclusive of tax.

(d) Government grants - Export incentives:

(e) Interest income from deposits with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.

Interest income on loans granted are recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension) but does not consider the expected credit losses.

(f) Interest income on loans is accounted using the effective interest method.

(g) Unbilled revenue represents earnings which have not been billed at the year end.

(h) Unearned revenue represents billing in advance as per contractual terms and advance payments received from customers for whom no services are rendered are presented as Advance from customers.

1.4 Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current periodâs taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses, if any.

1.5 Leases

As a lessee:

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as finance lease. These assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

As a lessor:

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Companyâs expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

1.6 Impairment of assets

Assessment is done whenever there is an event or change in circumstances as to where 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 asset, 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs fair value less cost of disposal and 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. Non financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

1.8 Inventories

1.9 Other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

(a) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

(b) those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Companyâs business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

(ii) Measurement

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 31 details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

1.10 Offsetting financial instruments

1.11 Property, plant and equipment

Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Transition to Ind AS:

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at April 1, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

(a) Depreciation methods, estimated useful life and residual value:

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful life as follows:

The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance lease is depreciated over the assetâs useful life or over the lease term, whichever is lower.

The assetsâ residual values and useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An assetâs carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assetâs carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/ (losses).

(b) Research and development:

Capital expenditure on development is capitalised as intangible asset and depreciated in accordance with depreciation policy of the Company. Revenue expenditure incurred during the research phase is expensed as incurred.

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognised as an intangible asset when all of the following criteria are met:

- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

- There is an intention to complete the asset.

- There is an ability to use or sell the asset.

- The asset will generate future economic benefits.

- Adequate resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the asset.

- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development can be measured reliably.

1.12 Intangible assets

Operating software is capitalised along with the related fixed assets. Other computer software is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred.

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of intangible assets recognised as at April 1, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of intangible assets.

1.13 Trade and other payables

1.14 Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

1.15 Borrowing costs

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

1.16 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are measured at the present value of managementâs best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. In case of long term provisions, they are disclosed by discounting at the rate used to determine the present value, which 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.

1.17 Employee benefits

Short term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employeesâ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligation in balance sheet.

Other long term employee benefit obligations:

(i) Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Companyâs liability is determined by an independent actuary (using the projected unit credit method) at the end of each year.

(ii) The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity and provident fund, which are managed by trusts.

(b) defined contribution plans - provident fund contributions to employeesâ provident fund organisation.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Contribution towards provident fund for certain employees is made to the regulatory authorities. Such benefits are classified as defined contribution schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis. In respect of other employees, provident fund contributions are made to a Trust administered by the Company. The Companyâs liability towards guaranteed interest, as stipulated by the regulatory authority, is determined by an independent actuary (using the projected unit credit method) at the end of the year, and any shortfall in the interest earnings by the Trust is additionally provided for by the Company.

1.18 Share based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain employees of the Company by Ingersoll Rand plc., Ireland (the ultimate holding company) in the form of employee option plan and restricted stock units (RSU) (equity settled transactions). The stock options vest rateably over a period of three years and expire at the end of ten years, subject to conditions related to termination of employment. The RSU will vest in one-third installments over three years. Once they vest, each unit is converted into a share of stock at current value.

The fair value of options granted by the ultimate holding company, Ingersoll-Rand plcâs share based compensation plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted.

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

1.19 Dividends

The equity shares of the Company are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited, the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange Limited.

2 Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS

The financial statements up to year ended March 31, 2016 were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 (as amended) ("Previous GAAP") and other relevant provisions of the Act.

These financial statements are the first financial statements of the Company under Ind AS. Refer note 37 for an explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company''s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current/ non current classification of assets and liabilities.

(ii) Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

(a) certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value;

(b) assets held for sale - measured at fair value less cost to sell;

(d) share-based payments measured at fair value on grant date.

Also, refer note 37 (A) on deemed cost

(iii) Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, ''Statement of cash flows'' and Ind AS 102, ''Share-based payment.'' These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7, ''Statement of cash flows'' and IFRS 2, ''Share-based payment,'' respectively. The amendments are applicable to the company from April 1, 2017.

Amendment to Ind AS 7

The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement. The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and its effect on the financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 102

The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance for measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes. It clarifies that the fair value of cash-settled awards is determined on a basis consistent with that used for equity-settled awards. Market-based performance conditions and non-vesting conditions are reflected in the ''fair values'', but non-market performance conditions and service vesting conditions are reflected in the estimate of the number of awards expected to vest. Also, the amendment clarifies that if the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction are modified with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as such from the date of the modification. Further, the amendment requires the award that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes to be treated as equity-settled in its entirety. The cash payment to the tax authority is treated as if it was part of an equity settlement.

The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and its impact on the financial statements.

2.2 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM).

The Company''s CODM consists of the managing director and the chief financial officer. The CODM primarily uses a measure of profit before tax to assess the performance of the operating segments. Refer note 38 for segment information presented.

2.3 Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains/ (losses).

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of fair value gain or loss.

Subsequent Recognition:

As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate as indicated in Initial Recognition.

2.4 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognized when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company''s activities as described below.

(a) Sale of goods Timing of Recognition:

Revenue from sale of goods are recognized when significant risks and rewards are transferred in accordance with the terms of sale, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customers'' acceptance of the products.

Measurement of Revenue:

Amounts disclosed as Revenue are inclusive of excise duty, where applicable, and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, liquidated damages and value added taxes.

(b) Sale of services Timing of Recognition:

Installation and commissioning revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered. Service revenue from extended warranty and annual maintenance contract are recognized on time proportion basis over the period of contract.

Measurement of Revenue:

Revenue from services are disclosed exclusive of service tax.

The Company provides business support and auxiliary services to certain fellow subsidiaries. Revenue from such services is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered. The recognition is based on the terms of the contract with the respective customers, which is on a cost-plus basis.

(d) Government grants - Export incentives:

Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognized in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

2.5 Income tax

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, if any, only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax are recognized in statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

2.6 Leases

As a lessee:

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as finance lease. These assets are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

As a lessor:

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Company''s expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

2.7 Impairment of Assets

Assessment is done whenever there is an event or change in circumstances as to where 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 asset, 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s fair value less cost of disposal and 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 recognized for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. Non financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

2.8 Cash and cash equivalents

2.9 Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for expected credit losses.

2.10 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of raw materials comprises cost of purchases. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate portion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, computed on normal capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on a first-in first-out basis. Cost of inventories also include all others costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates, discounts and refundable duties and taxes. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2.11Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets, etc., which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit and loss.

2.12 Other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

(a) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

(b) those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held.

(ii) Measurement

Debt instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 34 details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized only when the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the Company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the Company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.

(v) Income recognition

Interest income from deposits with banks is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.

Interest income on loans granted are recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension) but does not consider the expected credit losses.

2.13 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

2.14 Property, plant and equipment

Leasehold land is carried at historical cost and is amortized over the period of lease on straight line method. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Transition to Ind AS:

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognized as at April 1, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

(a) Depreciation methods, estimated useful life and residual value:

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful life as follows:

Leasehold land: 99 years Buildings: 25-40 years

Leasehold improvements: Useful life of assets in line with the lease term

Plant and machinery: 10-15 years

Plant and machinery - given on operating lease: 2-5 years

Computer systems: 3-5 years

Electrical installations: 10 years

Furniture, fittings and equipment: 3-5 years

Vehicles: 5-10 years

Small tools: 5-15 years

Office equipment: 5 years

The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance lease is depreciated over the asset''s useful life or over the lease term, whichever is lower.

(b) Research and development:

Capital expenditure on development is capitalized as property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with depreciation policy of the Company. Revenue expenditure incurred during the research phase is expensed as incurred.

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when all of the following criteria are met:

- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

- There is an intention to complete the asset.

- There is an ability to use or sell the asset.

- The asset will generate future economic benefits.

- Adequate resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the asset.

- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development can be measured reliably.

Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use and it is amortized on straight line method over the estimated useful life. Expenditure that cannot be distinguished between research phase and development phase is expensed as incurred.

2.15 Intangible Assets Computer Software:

Operating software is capitalized along with the related fixed assets. Other computer software is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any, and are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognized as an expense as incurred.

Amortization methods and periods:

The Company amortizes intangible assets (Computer software) with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over 3-5 years, less the residual values and the useful life is reviewed at end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. The amortization method and the estimated useful life of intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting period.

Transition to Ind AS:

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of intangible assets recognized as at April 1, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of intangible assets.

2.16 Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year, which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 45 to 90 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.17 Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

2.18 Borrowing Costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

2.19 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and others are recognized 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 recognized for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

2.20 Employee benefits Short term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligation in balance sheet.

The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses. The Company recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Other long term employee benefit obligations:

(ii) The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity and provident fund, which are managed by trusts.

(b) defined contribution plans - provident fund contributions to employees'' provident fund organization.

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Contribution towards provident fund for certain employees is made to the regulatory authorities. Such benefits are classified as defined contribution schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis. In respect of other employees, provident fund contributions are made to a Trust administered by the Company. The Company''s liability towards guaranteed interest, as stipulated by the regulatory authority, is determined by an independent actuary (using the projected unit credit method) at the end of the year, and any shortfall in the interest earnings by the Trust is additionally provided for by the Company.

2.21 Share based payments

The fair value of options granted by the ultimate holding company, Ingersoll-Rand plc''s share based compensation plan is recognized as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted.

The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

2.22 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

2.23Earning per share

2.24 Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest millions as permitted by Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise stated.

3 Critical estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Company''s accounting policies.

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

The area involving critical estimates or judgments is:

- Estimation of defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets â Note 20

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

1. General Information

Ingersoll-Rand (India) Limited (the ''Company'') is a public limited company incorporated in 1921 under provisions of the Companies Act, 1913 and existing under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956/ Companies Act, 2013. The Company has a manufacturing plant in Naroda, Gujarat and is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of industrial air compressors of various capacities and related services. During the year, the Company also manufactured air conditioner package under contract manufacturing arrangement for its fellow subsidiary in India from a plant at Chennai, the business of which has since been discontinued (refer Note 40). The Company sells air compressors primarily in India and also exports the products to North American, South American, Asian and European countries. The equity shares of the Company are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited, the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange Limited.

2.1 Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. Pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, till the standards of accounting or any addendum thereto are prescribed by Central Government in consultation and recommendation of the National Financial Reporting Authority, the existing Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 shall continue to apply. Consequently, these financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the accounting standards notified under Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 [Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended] and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current Â non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

2.2 Tangible Assets

Tangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditures related to an item of fixed asset are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Items of fixed assets that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are shown separately in the financial statements under the head ''Other current assets''. Any expected loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Losses arising from the retirement of and gains or losses arising from disposal of fixed assets which are carried at cost or revalued amount are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Based on a technical evaluation carried out by management, depreciation is provided on straight-line method (SLM) over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is similar to the useful life of fixed assets prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. In respect of additions to/ deletions from the fixed assets, depreciation is provided for on a prorata basis, except in respect of fixed assets of a cost not exceeding Rs.5,000, where depreciation has been charged fully in the year of purchase. Leasehold land is amortised over period of lease on SLM. The estimated useful life of fixed assets given on lease is two years. In respect of fixed assets which are not directly connected with the production activity, such as Research and Development assets, the useful life is estimated at one year.

2.3 Intangible Assets

(a) Computer Software:

Operating software is capitalised along with the related fixed assets. Other computer software (i.e., major application software), is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of three years.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of computer software is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Research and development cost:

Capital expenditure on Development is capitalised as fixed assets and depreciated in accordance with depreciation policy of the Company. Revenue expenditure incurred during the research phase is expensed as incurred.

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognised as an intangible asset when all of the following criteria are met:

- It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

- There is an intention to complete the asset.

- There is an ability to use or sell the asset.

- The asset will generate future economic benefits.

- Adequate resources are available to complete the development and to use or sell the asset.

- The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development can be measured reliably.

Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use and it is amortised on SLM over the estimated useful life.

Expenditure that cannot be distinguished between research phase and development phase is expensed as incurred.

2.4 Impairment

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 infows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash infows 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. 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 fows 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. An impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had previously been recognised.

2.5 Investments

Investments that are readily realisable, and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. Current investments are carried at cost or fair value, whichever is lower. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction being determined and made for each investment individually.

2.6 Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2.7 Current and Deferred Tax

Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, are included in the determination of the net Profit or loss for the period. Current tax is provided at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the taxation laws prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.

Deferred tax is recognised for all the timing differences, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty or virtual certainty, as may be applicable, that suffcient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. In situations, where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward losses under tax laws, all deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

2.8 Foreign Currency Transactions

Initial Recognition:

On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

Subsequent Recognition:

As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate as indicated in Initial Recognition.

All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the rates ruling at the end of the reporting period and exchange gains/losses arising there from are adjusted to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Forward Exchange Contracts:

The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contract entered into to hedge an existing asset/liability is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such a contract are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change. Any Profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a forward exchange contract are recognised as income or as expense for the period.

2.9 Revenue Recognition

Sale of goods:

Sales are recognised when goods are despatched (in accordance with the terms of sale) and when significant risks and rewards are transferred. Sales (gross) are recorded inclusive of excise duty but exclude trade discounts and sales tax.

Sale of services:

Service Revenue is recognised as and when services are performed and are recognised exclusive of service tax. Revenue from extended warranty services is recognised rateably over the extended warranty period. Revenue from services contract is recognised rateably over the period in which such services are rendered.

2.10 Other Income and Other Operating Revenue

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Income from export incentives is recognised on an accrual basis.

2.11 Leases

As a lessee:

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the less or are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

As a less or:

Leases where the Company has substantially retained all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Lease income on such operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the lease term, which is representative of the time pattern in which benefit derived from the use of the leased asset is diminished. Initial direct costs are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.12 Employee Benefits

Provident Fund: Contribution towards provident fund for certain employees is made to the regulatory authorities. Such benefits are classified as Defend Contribution Schemes as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.

In respect of other employees, Provident Fund contributions are made to a Trust administered by the Company. The Company''s liability is determined by an independent actuary (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of

the year, and any shortfall in the fund size maintained by the Trust is additionally provided for by the Company.

Gratuity: The Company provides for gratuity, a defend benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment. The Company''s liability is determined by an independent actuary (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year.

Compensated Absences: Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encased beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company''s liability is determined by an independent actuary (using the Projected Unit credit method) at the end of each year.

Actuarial losses/gains are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise.

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encased within 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.

Termination Benefits: Termination benefits in the nature of voluntary retirement benefits are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.

Other short term benefits: Liability towards short term employee benefits like performance bonus, which are expected to be paid within 12 months after the period in which the employees rendered related services, are recognised as expense during the period employee perform the services.

2.13 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include interest, other costs incurred in connection with borrowing and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. General and specifc borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.14 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outfow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date and are not discounted to its present value.

2.15 Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be Confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation, that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outfow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

2.16 Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net Profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net Profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

2.17 Segment Reporting

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for the Company. Revenue and expenses have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Revenue and expenses, which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on a reasonable basis, have been included under "Unallocated corporate expenses/ income".

2.18 Cash and Cash Equivalents

In the cash fow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

1.1 Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis. Pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, till the standards of accounting or any addendum thereto are prescribed by Central Government in consultation and recommendation of the National Financial Reporting Authority, the existing Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 shall continue to apply.

1.2 Tangible Assets

Tangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditures related to an item of fixed asset are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Items of fixed assets that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are shown separately in the financial statements. Any expected loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Losses arising from the retirement of and gains or losses arising from disposal of fixed assets are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Based on a technical evaluation carried out by Management, depreciation is provided on straight-line method (SLM) over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is similar to the useful life of fixed assets prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. In respect of additions to/deletions from the fixed assets, depreciation is provided for on a prorata basis, except in respect of fixed assets of a cost not exceeding Rs.5,000, where depreciation has been charged fully in the year of purchase. Leasehold land is amortised over period of lease on a SLM. The estimated useful life of fixed assets given on lease is two years. In respect of fixed assets which are not directly connected with the production activity, such as Research and Development assets, the useful life is estimated at one year.

1.3 Intangible Assets (Computer Software)

Operating software are capitalised along with the related fixed assets. Other computer software (i.e. major application software), is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of three years.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of computer software is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.4 Impairment

Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may be impaired.

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.

1.5 Investments

Investments that are readily realisable, and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. Current investments are carried at cost or fair value, whichever is lower. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction being determined and made for each investment individually.

1.6 Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads.

Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty or virtual certainty, as may be applicable, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

1.8 Foreign Currency Transactions

Initial Recognition:

On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

Subsequent Recognition:

As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate as indicated in Initial Recognition.

1.2 Tangible Assets

Tangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

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. 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.

Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty or virtual certainty, as may be applicable, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current Ã non current classification of assets and liabilities.

1.2 Tangible Assets

Tangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent expenditures related to an item of fixed asset are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Items of fixed assets that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are shown separately in the financial statements. Any expected loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from disposal of fixed assets which are carried at cost are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act,1956 which ever is higher as follows:

a) On fixed assets acquired and put to use up to December 31, 1985, on the written down value method.

d) Leasehold land is amortized over the period of the lease on the straight line method.

e) Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of the lease or five years, whichever is lower on the straight line method.

g) Computer System are depreciated over its estimated useful life at five years on the straight line method.

1.3 Intangible Assets (Computer Software)

Operating software are capitalised along with the related fixed assets. Other computer software (i.e. major application software), is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of a computer software is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Intangible assets (computer software) are amortised over the licence period or five years, whichever is lower.

1.4 Impairment

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. Recoverable amount is higher of an assetÃs or cash generating unitÃs 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.

1.5 Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date, on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments.

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.7 Current and deferred tax

Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the period. Current tax is provided at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the taxation laws prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.

Deferred tax is recognised for all the timing differences, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
