This note provides a list of material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Standalone
financial statements.
The Standalone financial statements of Kapston Services Limited have been prepared and presented in
accordance with and in compliance in all material aspects, with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS")
notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") read along with the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules 2015, and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the
Companies Act, 2013, and as amended from time to time together with the comparative period data as at
andfortheyearended31 March 2024.
These Standalone financial statements have been prepared by the Company as a going concern on the
basis of relevant Ind AS that are effective at the Company''s annual reporting date, 31 March 2025. These
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 were approved by the Company''s Board of Directors
on 19 May 2025.
These Standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an
accrual basis, except for the following material items in the balance sheet:
a. Certain financial assets are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost depending on the
classification;
b. Employee defined benefit assets/(liability) are recognized as the net total of the fair value of plan assets,
plus actuarial losses, less actuarial gains and the present value of the defined benefit obligation
c. Long-term borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
d. Right of use assets are recognized at the present value of lease payments that are not paid at that date. This
amount is adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, lease incentives
received and initial direct costs, incurred if any.
These Standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company''s
functional currency. All financial information presented in Indian rupees have been rounded-off to two
decimal places to the nearest lakhs except share data or as otherwise stated.
In preparing these Standalone financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised prospectively.
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects
on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 1.19- lease classification.
- Note 1.19- leases: whether an arrangement contains a lease and lease classification
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material
adjustment within the next financial year are included in the following notes:
- Note 38-measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
- Note 1.10- determining an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life
Accounting polices and disclosures require measurement of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or
a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation
techniques as follows.
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs forthe asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as
possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair
value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value
hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period
during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in the measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
- Note41 - Financial instruments
''The Schedule III to the Act requires assets and liabilities to be classified as either current or non-current. The
Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
Assets: An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating
cycle;
b. It is held primarilyforthepurposeofbeingtraded;
c. It is expected to be realized within twelve months afterthe reporting date; or
d. It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting date.
a. It is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
b. It is held primarily forthe purpose of being traded;
c. It is due to be settled within twelve months afterthe reporting date; or
d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of liability for atleast twelve months
from the reporting date.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current. ''Deferred tax assets/liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and realisation in cash or cash
equivalents. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non¬
current classification of assets and liabilities
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of entities within the
Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that
date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates
different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial
statements are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are
translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction, if any.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price, asset retirement
obligation and costs directly attributable towards bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. General and specific borrowing
costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to its carrying value only
when it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard or period of
performance. All other expenses on existing property, plant and equipment, including day-to-day repairs,
maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the year
during which such expenses are incurred.
The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful lives using the written down
valiip mpthnrl from thp Hatp thp a<:<;pt<: arp availahlp fnr iisp
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a written down value basis over the estimated
useful lives of intangible assets Intangible assets that are not available for use are amortized from the date they
are available for use.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or
sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention
in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits
to purchase or sell the asset.
For the Purpose of Subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories.
⢠Debt Instrument at amortized cost
⢠Debt Instrument at FVTOCI
⢠Debt instruments, Derivatives and Equity instruments at FVTPL and
⢠Equity Instruments measured at FVTOCI.
A "debt instrument" is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash
flows; and
b) contractual terms of the asset give rise on specifi ed dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method and are subject to impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any
discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the eff ective interest rate.
Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in statement of profit and loss and presented in
other income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This
category generally applies to trade and other receivables
A "debt instrument" is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) the objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the
financial assets; and
b) the asset''s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at
fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the OCI. However, the Company recognises interest income,
impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On
derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified to the statement of
profit and loss. Interest earned while holding a FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the
effective interest rate method.
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for
categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Company may elect to
designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However,
such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency
(referred to as an "accounting mismatch").
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in
the statement of profit and loss.
All equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are
held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind
AS 103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable
election to present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an
instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made upon initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the
Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument,
excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to the statement of
profi t and loss, even on sale of investment. However, on sale the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or
loss within equity. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are not subject to impairment assessment. Equity
instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down
immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, the
difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit
and loss.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
(i) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
(ii) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through''
arrangementD and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the
asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass¬
through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When
it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control
of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing
involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the
associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has
retained.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as
appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank
overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon
initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the
purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered
into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS
109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as
effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated as such at the initial date of
recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains
or losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains or losses are not
subsequently transferred to the statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative
gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit
and loss. The Company has not designated any fi nancial liability as FVTPL.
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.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as
well as through the EIRamortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that
are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a
currently and legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or
to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Inventories (raw materials, consumables and stores and spares) are valued at lower of cost and net realisable
value. Cost of inventories comprises purchase price and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to
sell
''The Company''s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each
reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the
asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.
''For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash¬
generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are
largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared
separately for each of the Company''s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and
forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is
calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond
periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the
budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In
any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, o
country or countries in which the Company operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less cost
to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-ta:
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to th<
CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss if the estimated recoverable amount of ai
asset or its cash-generating unit is lower than its carrying amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect o
cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units ant
then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losse
recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased o
no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine th<
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does no
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if n<
impairment loss has been recognized.
Cash and bank balances comprise of cash balance in hand, in current accounts with banks, demand deposil
short-term deposits, Margin Money deposits and unclaimed dividend accounts. For this purpose, "short-term
means investments having maturity of three months or less from the date of investment. Bank overdrafts that an
repayable on demand and form an integral part of our cash management are included as a component of cast
and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. The Margin money deposits and unclaimec
dividend balances shall be disclosed as restricted cash balances.
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised fo
the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay thi
amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Company''s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of profit and los
as and when the services are received from the employees.
The liability in respect of defined benefit plans and other post-employment benefits is calculated using th<
projected unit credit method consistent with the advice of qualified actuaries. The present value of th<
defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interes
rates based on prevailing market yields of Indian Government Bonds and that have terms to maturit
approximating to the terms of the related defined benefit obligation. The current service cost of the definec
benefit plan, recognised in the statement of profit and loss in employee benefit expense, reflects th<
increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefi
changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognised immediately in income. The ne
interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligatioi
and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profi
and loss. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuaria
assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which the;
arise.
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed, without
realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the
normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage
voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the
Company has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be
accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.
The Company''s net obligation in respect of other long term employee benefits is the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the curr ent and previous periods. That
benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss in the period in which they arise.

1.5 Use of estimates and judgments.
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
- Note 1.19- lease classification.
- Note 1.19 - leases: whether an arrangement contains a lease and lease classification Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in the following notes:
- Note 36 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
- Note 1.10 - determining an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life
1.6 Measurement of fair values
Accounting polices and disclosures require measurement of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in the measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
''- Note 39 - Financial instruments
1.7 Current and non-current classification
''The Schedule III to the Act requires assets and liabilities to be classified as either current or non-current. The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
Assets: An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;
b. It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or
d. It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Liabilities: A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. It is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
b. It is held primarily for the purpose ofbeing traded;
c. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of liability for atleast twelve months from the reporting date.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current. ''Deferred tax assets/liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and realisation in cash or cash equivalents. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Summary of material accounting policies
On 31 March 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
/ / â-i
Amendment Rules, 2023 amending the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. The amendments come into force with effect from 1 April 2023, i.e., Financial Year 2023-24. One of the major changes is in Ind AS 1 ''Preparation of Financial Statements, which requires companies to disclose in their financial statements ''material accounting policies'' as against the erstwhile requirement to disclose ''significant accounting policies''. The word ''significant'' is substituted by ''material''.
Accounting policy information is expected to be material if users of an entity''s financial statements would need it to understand other material information in the financial statements.
i--The Company applied the guidance available under paragraph 117B of Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial
Statements in evaluating the material nature of the accounting policies.
The following are the material accounting policies for the Company:
1.9 Foreign Currency Transaction
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of entities within the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction, if any.
1.10 Property Plant & Equipment Recognition and measurement
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price, asset retirement obligation and costs directly attributable towards bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to its carrying value only when it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard or period of performance. All other expenses on existing property, plant and equipment, including day-to-day repairs, maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the year during which such expenses are incurred.
Depreciation:
The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful lives using the written down value method from the date, the assets are available for use.

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For the Purpose of Subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories.
⢠Debt Instrument at amortized cost
⢠Debt Instrument at FVTOCI
⢠Debt instruments, Derivatives and Equity instruments at FVTPL and
⢠Equity Instruments measured at FVTOCI.
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A âdebt instrumentâ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows; and
b) contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (âSPPIâ) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method and are subject to impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in statement of profit and loss and presented in other income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables
Debt instrument at FVTOCI
A âdebt instrumentâ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) the objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
b) the asset''s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the OCI. However, the Company recognises interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned while holding a FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method.
Debt instrument at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as an âaccounting mismatchâ).
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments
which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made upon initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to the statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, on sale the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are not subject to impairment assessment. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture:
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
(i) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
(ii) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
b. Financial liabilitiesInitial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below Financial Liabilities at Fair value through Profit and Loss
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains or losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains or losses are not subsequently transferred to the statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as FVTPL.
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.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently and legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Inventories (raw materials, consumables and stores and spares) are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises purchase price and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to sell
1.13 Impairment of non-financial assets
''The Company''s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cashgenerating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company''s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the Company operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss if the estimated recoverable amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit is lower than its carrying amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss has been recognized.
Cash and bank balances comprise of cash balance in hand, in current accounts with banks, demand deposit, short-term deposits, Margin Money deposits and unclaimed dividend accounts. For this purpose, âshorttermâ means investments having maturity of three months or less from the date of investment. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of our cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. The Margin money deposits and unclaimed dividend balances shall be disclosed as restricted cash balances.
1.15 Employee Benefitsa. Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Company''s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are received from the employees.
The liability in respect of defined benefit plans and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the projected unit credit method consistent with the advice of qualified actuaries. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates based on prevailing market yields of Indian Government Bonds and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related defined benefit obligation. The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the statement of profit and loss in employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognised immediately in income. 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. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Company has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.
e. Other long-term employee benefits
The Company''s net obligation in respect of other long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
1.16 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assetsa. Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Amounts recognised as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, discounts, rebates, deductions by customers, service tax, value added tax, goods and services tax and amounts collected on behalf ofthird parties.
At the inception of the new contractual arrangement with the customer, the Company identifies the performance obligations inherent in the agreement. The terms of the contracts are such that the services to be rendered represent a series of services that are substantially the same with the same pattern of the transfer to the customer.
Revenue is recognized when the control is transferred to the customer and when the Company has completed its performance obligations under the contracts. Revenue is recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognized as follows:
(i) Revenue from services represents the amounts receivable for services rendered.
(ii) For non-contract-based business, revenue represents the value of goods delivered or services performed.
(iii) For contract-based business, revenue represents the sales value of work carried out for customers during the period. Such revenues are recognized in the period in which the service is rendered.
(iv) Unbilled revenue (contract assets) net of expected deductions is recognised at the end of each period. Such unbilled revenue is reversed in the subsequent period when actual invoice is raised.
(v) Unearned revenue (contract liabilities) represents revenue billed but for which services have not yet been performed and is included under Advances from customers. The same is released to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are rendered.
In contracts involving the rendering of services, revenue is measured using the proportionate completion method when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from rendering the service. When the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered. Estimates of revenue, costs or extent of progress towards completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenue or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known to the management.
When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as services, material and maintenance, revenue for each element is determined based on each element''s fair value.
Revenue recognition for delivered elements is limited to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services, future performance obligations or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
The undiscounted cash flows from the arrangement are periodically estimated and compared with the unamortized costs. If the unamortized costs exceed the undiscounted cash flow, a loss is recognized.
For all debt instruments measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. 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, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
(i) Miscellaneous Income
Miscellaneous Income includes Rounding off and other non operating income these are recognized as and when accrued.
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.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
1.19 Leases Company as a lessee
The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings. For any new contracts entered into or changed on or after April 1, 2019, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ''a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period in exchange for consideration''. To apply this definition the Company assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:
(i) the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Company
(ii) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract
(iii) The Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. the Company assesses whether it has the right to direct ''how and for what purpose'' the asset is used throughout the period of use.
Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee
At lease commencement date, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (''ROU'') and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Company, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).
The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets using the written down value method from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Company also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist
Ind AS116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with an option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances
Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases of the Company. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company''s operations. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Company and not by the respective lessor.
At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprises of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right of-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.
The Company has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the lease term.
1.20 Tax Expenses
Tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. a. Income Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretations and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment.
b. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
Temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences, the carry forwards of unused tax credits and unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
1.21 Earnings Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (âEPSâ) data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.22 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised under finance costs. Expected future operating losses are not provided for. Provision in respect of loss contingencies relating to claims, litigations, assessments, fines and penalties are recognised when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be estimated reliably.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets has to be recognised in the financial statements in the period in which if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. Contingent assets are assessed continually and no such benefits were found for the current financial year.
1.23 Cash flow Statements
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit/ (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from regular revenue generating (operating activities), investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
1.24 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Company''s trade receivables do not contain any significant financing component and hence are measured at the transaction price measured under Ind AS 115 âRevenue from Contracts with Customersâ.
1.25 Determination of fair values
The Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
a. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, if acquired in a business combination or through an exchange of non-monetary assets, is measured at fair value on the acquisition date. For this purpose, fair value is based on appraised market values and replacement cost.
b. Intangible assets
The fair value of brands, technology related intangibles, and patents and trademarks acquired in a business combination is based on the discounted estimated royalty payments that have been avoided as a result of these brands, technology related intangibles, patents or trademarks being owned (the ârelief of royalty methodâ). The fair value of customer related, product related and
other intangibles acquired in a business combination has been determined using the multi-period excess earnings method after deduction of a fair return on other assets that are part of creating the related cash flows.
c. Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories.
d. Derivatives
The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). The fair value of foreign currency option and swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts is determined based on the appropriate valuation techniques, considering the terms of the contract.
e. Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. In respect of the Company''s borrowings that have floating rates of interest, their fair value approximates carrying value.
1.26 New standards adopted by the company
Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Restated financial information
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statement.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and
decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are âmonetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertaintyâ. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in Restated financial information to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
Recent pronouncements:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

- Note 37 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
- Note 1.10 - determining an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end
of its life
1.6 Measurement of fair values
Accounting polices and disclosures require measurement of fair value for both financial and nonfinancial assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
⢠Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
⢠Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
⢠Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in the measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

1.7 Current and non-current classification
''The Schedule III to the Act requires assets and liabilities to be classified as either current or noncurrent. The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
Assets: An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;
b. It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or
d. It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Liabilities: A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. It is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
b. It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of liability for atleast twelve months from the reporting date.
AH other liabilities are classified as non-current. ''Deferred tax assets/liabilities are classified as noncurrent.
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and realisation in cash or cash equivalents. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities
1.9 Foreign Currency Transaction
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of entities within the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction, if any.
1.10 Property Plant & Equipment
Recognition and measurement
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price, asset retirement obligation and costs directly attributable towards bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to its carrying value only when it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard or period of performance. All other expenses on existing property, plant and equipment, including day-to-day repairs, maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the year during which such expenses are incurred.
Depreciation
The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful lives using the written down value method from the date, the assets are available for use.

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization
Amortization is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a written down value basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets Intangible assets that are not available for use are amortized from the date they are available for use.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
a. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For the Purpose of Subsequent measurement, Financial assets are classified in four categories.
⢠Debt Instrument at amortized cost
⢠Debt Instrument at FVTOCI
⢠Debt instruments, Derivatives and Equity instruments at FVTPL and
⢠Equity Instruments measured at FVTOCI.
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A "debt instrument" is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows; and
b) contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI") on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method and are subject to impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in statement of profit and loss and presented in other income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Debt instrument at FVTOCI
A "debt instrument" is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) the objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
b) the asset''s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognised in the OCI. However, the Company recognises interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned while holding a FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method.
Debt instrument at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorisation as at amortised cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as an "accounting mismatch").
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made upon initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognised in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to the statement of profi t and loss, even on sale of investment. However, on sale the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity investments designated as FVTOCI are not subject to impairment assessment. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profi t and loss.
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture
Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
(i) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
(ii) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise
the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
b. Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below Financial Liabilities at Fair value through Profit and Loss
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains or losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI. These gains or losses are not subsequently transferred to the statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as FVTPL.
Loans and 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.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently and legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Inventories (raw materials, consumables and stores and spares) are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises purchase price and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to sell
1.13 Impairment of non-financial assets
''The Company''s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.
''For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company''s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a longterm growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the longterm average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the Company operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss if the estimated recoverable amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit is lower than its carrying amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss has been recognized.
Cash and bank balances comprise of cash balance in hand, in current accounts with banks, demand deposit, short-term deposits, Margin Money deposits and unclaimed dividend accounts. For this purpose, "short-term" means investments having maturity of three months or less from the date of investment. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of our cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. The Margin money deposits and unclaimed dividend balances shall be disclosed as restricted cash balances.
a. Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
b. Defined Contribution Plan
The Company''s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are received from the employees.
c. Defined Benefit Plans
The liability in respect of defined benefit plans and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the projected unit credit method consistent with the advice of qualified actuaries. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates based on prevailing market yields of Indian Government Bonds and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related defined benefit obligation. The current service cost of the defined benefit plan, recognised in the statement of profit and loss in employee benefit expense, reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements. Past service costs are recognised immediately in income. 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. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
d. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Company has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.
e. Other long-term employee benefits
The Company''s net obligation in respect of other long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
1.16 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
a. Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
b. Contingent liabilities
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
c. Contingent assets
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Amounts recognised as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, discounts, rebates, deductions by customers, service tax, value added tax, goods and services tax and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
At the inception of the new contractual arrangement with the customer, the Company identifies the performance obligations inherent in the agreement. The terms of the contracts are such that the services to be rendered represent a series of services that are substantially the same with the same pattern of the transfer to the customer.
Revenue is recognized when the control is transferred to the customer and when the Company has completed its performance obligations under the contracts. Revenue is recognized in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognized as follows:
(i) Revenue from services represents the amounts receivable for services rendered.
(ii) For non-contract-based business, revenue represents the value of goods delivered or services performed.
(iii) For contract-based business, revenue represents the sales value of work carried out for customers during the period. Such revenues are recognized in the period in which the service is rendered.
(iv) Unbilled revenue (contract assets) net of expected deductions is recognised at the end of each period. Such unbilled revenue is reversed in the subsequent period when actual invoice is raised.
(v) Unearned revenue (contract liabilities) represents revenue billed but for which services have not yet been performed and is included under Advances from customers. The same is released to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are rendered.
a. Rendering of Services
In contracts involving the rendering of services, revenue is measured using the proportionate completion method when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from rendering the service. When the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
Estimates of revenue, costs or extent of progress towards completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenue or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known to the management.
Multiple-element arrangements
When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, such as services, material and maintenance, revenue for each element is determined based on each element''s fair value.
Revenue recognition for delivered elements is limited to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services, future performance obligations or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
The undiscounted cash flows from the arrangement are periodically estimated and compared with the unamortized costs. If the unamortized costs exceed the undiscounted cash flow, a loss is recognized.
For all debt instruments measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. 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, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
b. Other Income
(i) Miscellaneous Income
Miscellaneous Income includes Rounding off and other non operating income these are recognized as and when accrued.
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.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
1.19 Leases Company as a lessee
The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings. For any new contracts entered into or changed on or after April 1, 2019, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ''a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period in exchange for consideration''. To apply this definition the Company assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:
(i) the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Company
(ii) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract
(iii) The Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. the Company assesses whether it has the right to direct ''how and for what purpose'' the asset is used throughout the period of use.
Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee
At lease commencement date, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (''ROU'') and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Company, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).
The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets using the written down value method from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Company also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist
Ind AS116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with an option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances
Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases of the Company. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company''s operations. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Company and not by the respective lessor.
At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprises of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in insubstance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the rightof-use asset, or profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.
The Company has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the lease term.
Tax expense consists of current and deferred tax.
a. Income Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretations and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment.
b. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
Temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction; and
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences, the carry forwards of unused tax credits and unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.22 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised under finance
costs. Expected future operating losses are not provided for. Provision in respect of loss contingencies relating to claims, litigations, assessments, fines and penalties are recognised when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be estimated reliably.
Contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised under finance costs. Expected future operating losses are not provided for. Provision in respect of loss contingencies relating to claims, litigations, assessments, fines and penalties are recognised when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be estimated reliably.
Contingent assets
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Contingent assets has to be recognised in the financial statements in the period in which if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise. Contingent assets are assessed continually and no such benefits were found for the current financial year.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit/ (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from regular revenue generating (operating activities), investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Company''s trade receivables do not contain any significant financing component and hence are measured at the transaction price measured under Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".
1.25 Determination of fair values
The Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
a. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, if acquired in a business combination or through an exchange of non-monetary assets, is measured at fair value on the acquisition date. For this purpose, fair value is based on appraised market values and replacement cost.
b. Intangible assets
The fair value of brands, technology related intangibles, and patents and trademarks acquired in a business combination is based on the discounted estimated royalty payments that have been avoided as a result of these brands, technology related intangibles, patents or trademarks being owned (the "relief of royalty method"). The fair value of customer related, product related and other intangibles acquired in a business combination has been determined using the multi-period excess earnings method after deduction of a fair return on other assets that are part of creating the related cash flows.
c. Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories.
d. Derivatives
The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). The fair value of foreign currency option and swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts is determined based on the appropriate valuation techniques, considering the terms of the contract.
e. Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. In respect of the Company''s borrowings that have floating rates of interest, their fair value approximates carrying value.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), vide notification dated 31st March, 2023, has made the following amendments to Ind AS which are effective 1st April, 2023
Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
