2. Basis of preparation

These abridged standalone financial statements have been prepared on the basis of complete set of the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019, in accordance with the proviso to subsection (1) of section 136 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) and Rule 10 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.

a) Incentives under the State Industrial Policy

The Company units at Dolvi in Maharashtra and Vijayanagar in Karnataka are eligible for incentives under the respective State Industrial Policy and have been availing incentives in the form of VAT deferral / CST refunds historically. The Company currently recognises income for such government grants, on the basis using State Goods Service Tax rates instead of VAT rates, in accordance with the relevant notifications issued by the State of Maharashtra and the State of Karnataka post implementation of Goods S Services Tax (GST).

The State Government of Karnataka vide its circular dated 26 February 2019, has issued guidelines for determining the eligible incentive amount under the GST regime.

The State Government of Maharashtra (‘GOM’) vide its Government Resolution (GR) dated 20 December 2018 issued the modalities for sanction and disbursement of incentives, under GST regime, and introduced certain new conditions / restrictions for accruing incentive benefits granted to the Company including denying incentives on related party transactions and certain other restrictions. Subsequently, the GOM issued a corrigendum dated 08 March 2019 to the above mentioned GR allowing eligible units to claim incentives on related party transactions.

The management has evaluated the impact of other conditions imposed and has obtained legal advice on the tenability of these changes in the said scheme. Based on such legal advice, the Company has also made the representation to GOM and believes that said Incentives would continue to be made available to the Company under the GST regime, since the new conditions are not tenable legally and will contest these changes appropriately.

Accordingly, the Company has recognized grant income without giving effect to the above restrictions amounting to Rs. 161 crores (previous year Rs. 110 crores) for the year ended 31 March 2019.

New Standard Ind AS 116 Leases

Ind AS 116 Leases was notified by MCA on 30 March 2019 and it replaces Ind AS 17 Leases, including appendices thereto. Ind AS 116 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under Ind AS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees - leases of ‘low-value’ assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Lessor accounting under Ind AS 116 is substantially unchanged from today’s accounting under Ind AS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in Ind AS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.

The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of these amendments on the financial statements. Amendments to other Ind AS

There are few amendments to other Ind AS such as Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments , Ind AS 12, Income Taxes Ind AS 19, Employee Benefits; Ind AS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of these amendments on the financial statements.

6. Standards issued but not yet effective

(refer note 54 of the annual standalone financial statements)

In March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018, notifying Ind AS 115 ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers'' (New Revenue Standard), which replaces Ind AS 11 ''Construction Contracts'' and Ind AS 18 ''Revenue''. The core principle of the New Revenue Standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Some of the key changes introduced by the New Revenue Standard include additional guidance for multiple-element arrangements, measurement approaches for variable consideration, adjustments for time value of money etc. Significant additional disclosures in relation to revenue are also prescribed. The New Revenue Standard also provides two broad alternative transition options - Retrospective Method and Cumulative Effect Method - with certain practical expedients available under the Retrospective Method. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the New Revenue Standard on the present and future arrangements and shall determine the appropriate transition option once the said evaluation has been completed.

Also Appendix B to Ind AS 21, foreign currency transactions and advance consideration was notified along with the same notification which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of amendment on its financial statements.

Other amendments

Following amendments to other Ind AS which are issued but are not effective in FY 2017-18

(a) Amendments to Ind AS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Clarification of the scope of disclosure requirements in Ind AS 112.

(b) Amendments to Ind AS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses

(c) Transfers of Investment Property — Amendments to Ind AS 40

(d) I nd AS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - Clarification that measuring investees at fair value through profit or loss is an investment-by-investment choice

The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of these amendments on the financial statements.


Mar 31, 2017

Notes:

1. To comply with the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006, certain account balances have been regrouped as per the format prescribed under Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

2. Finance lease arrangements:

In respect of certain long-term arrangements, existing at the date of transition and identified to be in the nature of finance lease where the Company is lessee, the underlying assets and corresponding finance lease obligation determined at the inception of respective arrangements have been recognized on the date of transition with the adjustment of difference, if any, in the opening retained earnings, resulting into increase in finance cost and depreciation charge and reduction in the cost of goods / services procured and valuation of underlying inventories. Such arrangements were recognized as per their legal form under the previous GAAP

3. Fair valuation of investments:

Investments in preference shares have been measured at fair value through profit or loss as against cost less diminution of other than temporary nature, if any, under the previous GAAP

Certain equity investments (other than investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates) have been measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

The difference between the fair value and previous GAAP carrying value on transition date has been recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings / separate component of other equity.

4. Look through approach for employee welfare trust

Employee welfare trust, financed through interest free loan by the Company and warehousing the shares which have not vested yet, for distribution to employees of the Company, has been consolidated on line by line basis by reducing from equity share capital of the Company the face value of such treasury shares held by the trust and adjusting the difference, if any, into opening retained earnings.

5. Preference shares considered as borrowings:

Cumulative redeemable preference shares issued by the Company have been classified as borrowings and recognized at amortized cost on transition date as against part of Equity share capital under previous GAAP The difference on the transition date has been recognized in opening retained earnings net of related deferred taxes. Interest charge at effective interest rate on such borrowings has been recognized as finance cost in subsequent periods as against appropriation of dividend at coupon rate from reserves under the previous GAAP

6. Financial liabilities and related transaction costs:

Borrowings and other financial liabilities which were recognized at historical cost under previous GAAP have been recognized at amortized cost under IND AS with the difference been adjusted to opening retained earnings.

Under previous GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings were amortized equally over the tenure of the borrowings. Under IND AS, transaction costs are deducted from the initial recognition amount of the financial liability and charged over the tenure of borrowing using the effective interest method.

Difference in the un-amortized borrowing cost as per IND AS and previous GAAP on transition date has been adjusted to the cost of asset under construction or opening retained earnings, as applicable.

7. Financial assets at amortized cost:

Certain financial assets held on with an objective to collect contractual cash flows in the nature of principal and interest have been recognized at amortized cost on transition date as against historical cost under the previous GAAP with the difference been adjusted to the opening retained earnings.

8. Deferred tax as per balance sheet approach:

Under previous GAAP, deferred tax was accounted using the income statement approach, on the timing differences between the taxable profit and accounting profits for the period. Under IND AS, deferred tax is recognized following balance sheet approach on the temporary differences between the carrying amount of asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. In addition, various transitional adjustments has also lead to recognition of deferred taxes on new temporary differences.

9. Dividend:

Under previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. However under IND AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting.

Accordingly the liability for proposed dividend recognized as on transition date has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to opening retained earnings and dividend in the subsequent period has been recognized in the year of approval in the general meeting.

10. Excise duty:

Under previous GAAP, revenue from sale of goods was presented net of excise duty whereas under IND AS the revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. The excise duty is presented on the face of the Statement of Profit and Loss as part of expenses.

11. Defined benefit liabilities:

Under IND AS, Remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined liability, are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss in previous GAAP

12. Government grant:

Government grant outstanding as on transition date relating to the purchase of fixed asset and conditional upon fulfillment of future export obligations has been recognized as deferred income under Ind AS with the corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of Property, plant and equipment (net of cumulative depreciation impact) and opening retained earnings.

13. Other comprehensive income:

Under IND AS, all items of income and expense recognized in the period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss and "other comprehensive income" includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans, foreign currency monetary item translation difference account, effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedging instruments and fair value gain or losses on FVCTOCI equity instruments. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP
