Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015
and other relevant provisions of the Act,
under the historical cost convention on
accrual basis except for certain financial
instruments which are measured at fair
value. These accounting policies have been
applied consistently over all the periods
presented in these standalone Ind AS

The financial statements were prepared in
accordance with the accounting standards
notified under Companies (Accounting
Standard) Rules, 2006 (as amended) under
the Act read with Rule 7 of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014 (as amended),
the relevant provisions of the Act (to the
extent notified) and guidelines issued by
the Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) and other generally accepted
accounting principles in India (collectively
referred to as “Indian GAAP”.

(b) Presentation of the financial statements

The Company is covered in the definition of
Non-Banking Financial Company as defined
in Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
(Amendment) Rules, 2016. As per the format
prescribed under Division III of Schedule III
to the Companies Act, 2013 on 11 October
2013, the Company presents the Standalone
Balance Sheet, the Standalone Statement
of Profit and Loss and the Standalone
Statement of Changes in Equity in the order
of liquidity. A maturity analysis of recovery
or settlement of assets and liabilities within
12 months after the reporting date and more
than 12 months after the reporting date is
presented in Note 55 of the standalone Ind
AS financial statements.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are
generally reported on a gross basis except
when, there is an unconditional legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised
amounts without being contingent on a future
event and the parties intend to settle on a
net basis in the following circumstances:

(i) The normal course of business

(ii) The event of default

(iii) The event of insolvency or bankruptcy of
the Company and/or its counterparties

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with Ind AS requires management
to make estimates, judgments, and
assumptions that affect the application
of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and disclosures as
of the date of financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses
for the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates. Accounting
estimates and underlying assumptions are

reviewed on an ongoing basis and could
change from period to period. Appropriate
changes in estimates are recognized in the
period in which the Company becomes aware
of the changes in circumstances surrounding
the estimates. Any revisions to accounting
estimates are recognized prospectively in
the period in which the estimate is revised
and future periods. The estimates and
judgments that have significant impact on
carrying amount of assets and liabilities at
each balance sheet date are discussed at
note 2(v) of the standalone Ind AS financial
statements.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment, (if any). Such cost includes
purchase price including import duties and
other non-refundable purchase taxes or
levies, borrowing cost and any cost directly
attributable to bringing the assets to its
working condition for its intended use and
adjustments arising from exchange rate
variations attributable to the assets. Any
trade discounts and rebates are deducted
in arriving at the purchase price.

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

Property, Plant and Equipment which are
significant to the total cost of that item of
Property, Plant and Equipment and having
different useful life are accounted separately.

Assets costing INR 5,000 or less are fully
depreciated in the year of purchase.

Cost of assets not ready for intended use,
as on the Balance Sheet date, is shown as
capital work in progress. Advances paid
towards the acquisition of property, plant
and equipment outstanding at each balance
sheet date is classified as capital advances
under other non-financial assets.

The carrying amount of an item of property,
plant and equipment is derecognised on
disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected from its use or disposal. The
date of disposal of an item of property, plant
and equipment is the date the recipient
obtains control of that item in accordance
with the requirements for determining when
a performance obligation is satisfied in Ind
AS 115.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined
by comparing proceeds with carrying amount
and are recognized in the statement of profit
and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful
lives and residual value

Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata
basis on the straight line method based
on estimated useful life prescribed under
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Equipment are reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate

(e) Investment Property

Investment property represents property held
to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or
both.

Investment properties are measured
initially at cost, including transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment loss, if any.

Depreciation on property (Flat) classified as
investment property has been provided on
the straight-line method over a period of 60
years based on the Company’s estimate of
their useful lives taking into consideration
technical factors, which is the same as
the period prescribed in Schedule II to the
Companies Act 2013.

Though the Company initially measures
investment property using cost based
measurement.The said is measured
subsequently at the fair value which are
determined based on an annual evaluation
as per Management’s best estimates.

Investment properties are derecognised
either when they have been disposed of
or when they are permanently withdrawn
from use and no future economic benefit is
expected from their disposal. The difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss in the period
of derecognition. The date of disposal of
an item of investment property is the date
the recipient obtains control of that item
in accordance with the requirements for
determining when a performance obligation
is satisfied in Ind AS 115.

(f) Intangible assets and amortization

Intangible assets are stated at cost of
acquisition net of recoverable taxes, trade
discount and rebates less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses, if any.
Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing
costs, and any cost directly attributable to
bringing the asset to its working condition
for the intended use and adjustments arising
from exchange rate variations attributable to
the intangible assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the
asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a
separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the entity
and the cost can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are amortised on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful
economic life,which is the Management’s
estimate of its useful life.

The carrying amount of an intangible asset is
derecognised on disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use
or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals
are determined by comparing proceeds
with carrying amount and are recognised
in the statement of profit and loss when the
asset is derecognized. The date of disposal
of an item of intangible assets is the date
the recipient obtains control of that item
in accordance with the requirements for
determining when a performance obligation
is satisfied in Ind AS 115.

The residual values, useful lives and
methods of amortisation of intangible assets
are reviewed at each financial year end and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

(g) Investments in subsidiaries and trust

Investments in subsidiaries and trust are
carried at cost less accumulated impairment
losses, if any in the Separate Financial

Statements as permitted under Ind AS 27 -
“Separate financial statements”.

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 trust, the
difference between net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amounts are recognised in
the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.

(h) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company
assesses whether there is any indication
based on internal / external factors, that
an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, the Company estimates
the recoverable amount of the asset. The
recoverable amount of asset is the higher
of its fair value or value in use. Value in use
is based on the estimated future cash flows,
discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current
market assessment of time value of money
and the risks specific to it. If such recoverable
amount of the asset or the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit to which
the asset belongs is less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount is reduced to
its recoverable amount and the reduction
is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognised in the statement of profit and
loss. All assets are subsequently reassessed
for indications that an impairment loss
previously recognised may no longer exist.
An Impairment loss is reversed if there
has been a change in estimates used to
determine the recoverable amount. Such
a reversal is made only to the extent that
the assets carrying amount would have
been determined, net of depreciation or
amortization, had no impairment loss been
recognised.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of preparation of financial statements

These Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis. GAAP comprises mandatory Accounting Standards as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act’) read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the relevant provisions of the Act (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. GAAP comprises of mandatory accounting standards as prescribed under the Act. Accounting policies have been consistently applied.

b) Use of estimates

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the GAAP requires that the management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Examples of such estimates include provision for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans, income taxes and the useful lives of fixed tangible assets and intangible assets. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known.

c) Current/Non-current classification of assets and liabilities

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of resources for delivery and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as up to twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

d) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

e) Property Plant & Equipment

Tangible assets and intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairments, if any. Cost includes expenses related to purchases, borrowing costs and any directly attributable cost for bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use and excludes any duties and taxes recoverable, net of adjustments arising from the exchange rate variations attributable to the assets. Subsequent expenditure related to an item of tangible and intangible fixed asset is capitalized only if it increases the future benefits from the existing assets beyond its previously assessed standards of performance and / or life. The advances given for acquiring for fixed assets are shown under loans and advances (capital advances). The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Items of tangible assets that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are shown separately in the financial statements under “Other current assets”. Any expected loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Tangible assets and Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of Balance Sheet are stated at Cost as “Capital work-in-progress” and “Intangible Assets under Development” respectively.

Depreciation is provided on pro rata basis under Straight Line Method, as per the useful life of the assets, on all the tangible fixed assets (including property held as investment) which were in use during the year. Residual value for the assets is considered to be at five percent of the original cost of the asset. If the assets are purchased during the year, depreciation is provided on pro - rata basis from the date the assets are installed. In case the assets are sold, depreciation is provided on the same up to the date of sale on pro - rata basis.

Individual assets costing less than Rs 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of acquisition.

Estimated useful lives of the tangible assets is as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, except in case of Investment Property.

f) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal / external factors except in case of intangibles under development which are reviewed at every reporting date. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss, wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of time value of money and the risk specifics to the asset.

An impairment loss recognized in prior accounting periods is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates of the recoverable amount and such loss either no longer exists or has decreased.

g) Operating Lease

Where the Company is the lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income on an operating lease is recognized in the statement of profit and loss as per the terms of lease arrangements.

Assets given by the Company under operating lease are included in Investment property. Lease income from operating leases is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease term. Costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the lease income are recognized as expenses. Initial direct costs incurred specifically for an operating lease are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

h) Investments

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

n. Earnings Per Share

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

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

o. Provisions

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources.

p. Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
