Note -47
Financial Risk Management
The Company''s activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company''s Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the related impact in the Financial Statements.
(A) Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its Operating Activities (Primarily Trade Receivables) and from its Financing Activities including Deposits with Banks, Mutual Funds and Financial Institutions and other Financial Instruments.
(i) Credit Risk Management
The Company assesses and manages credit risk of Financial Assets based on following categories arrived on the basis of assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of Financial Assets.
A: Low Credit Risk on financial reporting date
B: Moderate Credit Risk
C: High Credit Risk
In respect of Trade Receivables, the Company recognises a provision for lifetime Expected Credit Loss.
Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a Financial Asset is considered when the counter party fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract or decided later based upon the factual circumstances on case to case basis. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions.
During the current Financial Year, the Company has identified certain debtors where the management has assessed substantial increase in credit risk. Following the prudent accounting practices and as per the accounting policy, the Company has made a provision of '' 22,414.91 lakh upto March 31, 2023 (Upto March 31, 2022''22,820.33 lakh) on the net exposure of the trade receivables and corresponding trade payables where the Company has legally enforceable right to adjust the same.
Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a litigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company''s principal sources of liquidity are Cash and Cash Equivalents which are generated from Cash Flow from Operations. The Company has no fund based outstanding Bank Borrowings. The Company considers that the Cash Flows from Operations are sufficient to meet its current liquidity requirements.
Maturities of Financial Liabilities
The tables below analyse the Company''s Financial Liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is insignificant.
The Company''s exposure towards Price Risk arises from Investments held and classified in the Balance Sheet either as Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income or at Fair Value through Profit & Loss. To manage the price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio of assets.
Capital Management
The Company''s objectives when managing capital are to:
(i) Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
(ii) Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt (net debt comprises of borrowings less cash and cash equivalents). Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio.
The Company has no outstanding fund based debt as at the end of the respective years. Accordingly Company has NIL Capital gearing ratio as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers :
Significant changes in contract Assets and Liabilities :
(a) Contract Liabilities - Deferred Income (Revenue Received in Advance):
Invoicing in excess of revenue recognised is classified as revenue received in advance. Any amount previously recognised as revenue received in advance is recognised to revenue on satisfaction of the performance obligation over the construction period.
(c) Contract Assets - Unbilled Revenue:
Invoicing to the clients is based on milestones as defined in the contract. This would result in the timing of revenue recognition being different from the timing of billing the customers. Revenue in excess of billing is recorded as unbilled revenue and is classified as a contract asset. Any amount previously recognised as a contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables on satisfaction of the condition attached i.e. future service which is necessary to achieve the billing milestone.
(e) Revenue Recognised in relation to Contract Liabilities :
Disclosure pursuant to para 116(b) & (c) of Ind AS 115 in respect of ''revenue recognised in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period'' and ''revenue recognised in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods are as below:
(g) Performance obligations and remaining performance obligations :
Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts as the revenue recognized corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity''s performance completed to date. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, such as changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, terminations, adjustment for revenue that has not materialized as at the reporting date.
Inventory Disclosures
The Company is carrying inventory of 15 Lands of '' 61,873.20 Lakh for over 8 years. These lands are purchased for Real Estate
Development. However, due to slowdown in real estate market, the Company has deferred its plans to develop some of the
lands. Further following lands are not registered in the name of the Company:
(i) Land at Naya Raipur, Chattisgarh
The Company has purchased a Group Housing Plot admeasuring 30,436 Sqm. in Naya Raipur from Naya Raipur Development Authority (NRDA) on lease for a total sum of '' 2,099.37 Lakh in the year 2014. As per the terms of allotment, the lease/conveyance deed shall be executed between the owners association/housing society and NRDA once all the units are sold and all obligations as per the development agreement signed between the Company and NRDA are fulfilled. However, the construction on the said land was kept in abeyance upto previous Financial Year. The Company has decided for development of land. Accordingly, the Building permission fees and security deposit for RWH has been deposited to the Authority to get the approval. The preliminary fire NOC has also been obtained. Further market survey to explore the market feasibility and demand at the location is being carried out for development of the plot. The development of plot may start in next Financial Year given the favorable conditions of the market.
(ii) Land at Faridabad
The Company purchased a freehold plot admeasuring 16,753.99 Sqm. for group housing in open auction from Municipal Corporation of Faridabad (MCF) for a total sum of '' 13,178.41 Lakh (Including provision of Stamp Duty) in the year 2013. The Company has paid full consideration and has taken the possession of land. The Company has been pursuing MCF for execution of lease deed but till date the same has not been executed for want of environment clearance. The Company has applied for environment clearance for which obtaining NOC from Forest Department is necessary. Accordingly, the Company applied for NOC from Forest department, however the same is denied on the ground that "the criteria for clarification of deemed forests is pending before the Hon''ble Supreme Court and Govt. of Haryana has not identified deemed forests". Whereas in Clause No. 24 of letter of allotment of land, the MCF stated that, "Deputy Conservator of Forests, Faridabad vide her office memo no. 569 dated August 28, 2012 has intimated that the area under Group Housing plots is notified under general section-4 of Punjab Land Preservation Act, 1900". Thus, denial of NOC by Forest Department is contrary to what is contained in Letter of Allotment. Company has taken up the matter with Government of Haryana to either issue necessary instructions to Forest Department for issuing of NOC as required for Environmental Clearance or refund the amount paid with interest to Company. The Company is exploring the possibility of early execution of lease deed from MCF or referring the matter to AMRCD for early resolution.
(iii) NBCC Plaza at Pushp Vihar
The Company has undertaken a project for construction of "Additional Shopping cum Car Parking Blocks" in "NBCC Plaza" at Pushp Vihar, New Delhi and has paid a sum of '' 3,021.78 Lakh to Land & Development Office (L&DO), Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) in the year 2010 as additional premium for availing additional ground coverage (FAR). However, later Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) erstwhile South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), vide its letter dated May 20, 2015, while approving the building plans subject to compliance of few conditions, demanded additional FAR charges amounting to '' 3,224.45 Lakh. The MCD also stayed the construction till the time, said amount is paid to them. Since the Company had already deposited the said amount with L&DO, it represented the matter to MCD as well as L&DO, at different forums. MoHUA also directed MCD to release the sanctioned building plan to Company at the earliest. However, the MCD is still insisting on payment of additional FAR of '' 3,224.45 lakh to sanction building plan.

Under previous GAAP, investments in mutual funds are shown at cost or market value whichever is lower. Under Ind AS, such investments are evaluated under ind AS 109 which requires the Company to account for such instruments at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) As a result of this- there is no change on the Profit for the year ended on March 31, 2016 and consequent to this there is no change in the equity as on March 31, 2016 &.

E Amortised cost of Retention Money, Security Deposit Asset & Unbilled Revenue

J Dividend adjustment
Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial Statements we re considered 3S adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for Proposed Dividend was recognised as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting.
