The Company recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event exists and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the amount of such
obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre¬
tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When 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 embodying
economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably. When there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Expenditure on research is recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Expenditure on
development which does not meet the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset is
recognised as an expense when it is incurred.
Items of property, plant and equipment and acquired Intangible Assets utilized for Research
and Development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for
Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net profit after taxes for the year by weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus share elements in
equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasure shares, if any.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per
share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs
associated with dilutive potential equity shares and the weighted average number of additional
equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is
classified as held for sale, and:
- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or
geographical area of operations.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are
presented as profit or loss before / after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of
profit and loss.
Additional disclosures are provided in note 44. All other notes to the financial statements mainly
include amounts for continuing operation, unless otherwise mentioned.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and deposits with banks. The Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or
less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the
effects of transactions of a 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.
The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires the management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities
affected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty
at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:
The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgments are involved in estimating
budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income
taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions (Refer
Note 32).
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the
Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an
estimate of an asset''s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its
life. The useful lives and residual values of Company''s assets are determined by the
management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each
financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as
anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technical or
commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a
change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.
The costs of providing gratuity and other post-employment benefits are charged to the
Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 19 ''Employee benefits'' over the period
during which benefit is derived from the employees'' services. The costs are assessed on the
basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary
escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The
same is disclosed in Note 35, ''Employee benefits''.
When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet
cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured
using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which involve various
judgments and assumptions.

⢠Credit risk;
⢠Liquidity risk; and
⢠Market risk
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to perform or fail to pay amounts due causing financial loss to the company. The potential activities where credit risks may arise include from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and security deposits or other deposits and principally from credit exposures to customers relating to outstanding receivables. The maximum credit exposure associated with financial assets is equal to the carrying amount. Details of the credit risk specific to the company along with relevant mitigation procedures adopted have been enumerated below:
Trade receivables
The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Majority of the customers have been associated with the company for a considerable period of time. Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Companyâs standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed regularly.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances existing on that date to identify expected losses on account of time value of
money and credit risk. The company reviews the receivables in light of their historical payment patterns and adjusts the same to estimate the expected loss on account of credit worthiness of the customer or delay in payments leading to loss of time value of money.
Other financial assets includes loan to employees, security deposits, investments, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balance, derivative asset, advances to employees etc.
⢠Cash and cash equivalents and Bank deposits are placed with banks having good reputation and past track record with adequate credit rating.

Management monitors the Companyâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Companyâs liquidity management policy involves periodic reviews of cash flow projections and considering the level of liquid assets necessary, monitoring balance sheet, liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as currency risk, other price risk and interest rate risk - will affect the Companyâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
a. Foreign Currency risk
The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupees and its revenue is generated from operations in India as well as outside india through its exports and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EURO and GBP. Foreign exchange risk arises from highly probable forecast transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through sensitivity analysis. The primary objective for forex hedging against anticipated foreign currency risks will be to hedge the Companyâs highly probable foreign currency cash flows arising from such transactions (thus reducing cash flow and profit volatility). The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company uses forward exchange contracts, to hedge the effects of movements in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated assets.The sources of foreign exchange risk are outstanding amounts payable for expenses denominated in foreign currency.The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk on its exports. These transactions are denominated in US dollars, EURO and GBP.
The Company is mainly exposed to changes in USD, EURO & GBP. The below table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 5% increase or decrease in the USD, EURO and GBP against INR, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company as at the reporting date. 5% represents managementâs assessment of reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rate.
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in Mutual Funds. The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investments in Mutual Fund recognised at FVTPL. As at 31st March, 2024, the carrying value of such equity instruments amounts to Rs. 6441.35 Lakhs ( Rs. NIL as at 31st March, 2023). The details of such investments in Mutual Funds are given in Note 7. Investments in Mutual Funds is not considered to be significant and hence the risk is negligible.
The Company is also exposed to price risk arising from investments in debentures. The Companyâs investments in debentures recognised at amortised cost and get recouped through fixed coupon accruals. As at 31st March, 2024, the carrying value of the investments in debentures amounts to Nil ( 227.41 lakhs as at 31st March, 2023 ). The details of such investments in debentures are given in Note 7.

The capital structure is monitored on the basis of net debt to equity and maturity profile of overall debt portfolio of the Company.
The Company has the following post-employment benefit plans:
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The scheme is funded with LIC in the form of qualifying insurance policy.
As per Actuarial Valuation as on 31st March, 2024 and 31st March, 2023 and recognised in the financial statements in respect of Employee Benefit Schemes:
With the objective of presenting the plan assets and plan liabilities of the defined benefits plans at their fair value on the balance sheet, assumptions under Ind AS 19 are set by reference to market conditions at the valuation date.
The above sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.Furthermore in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of reporting period, which is the same method as that applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognized in the balance sheet.
The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government.

The Company recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event exists and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When 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 embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Expenditure on research is recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Expenditure on development which does not meet the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset is recognised as an expense when it is incurred.
Items of property, plant and equipment and acquired Intangible Assets utilized for Research and Development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net profit after taxes for the year by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus share elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasure shares, if any.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The Chief Operational Decision Maker (CODM) monitors the operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CODM.
The Board of Directors (BOD) of the Company assesses the financial performance and position of the Company, and makes strategic decisions; hence the Board of Directors are CODM. Refer note 38 for segment related information.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and deposits with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a 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.
The preparation of the Companyâs financial statements requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:
Income taxes
The Companyâs tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgments are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions (Refer Note 33).
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an assetâs expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Companyâs assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.
Defined Benefit Obligation
The costs of providing gratuity and other post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 19 ''Employee benefitsâ over the period during which benefit is derived from the employeesâ services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 36, ''Employee benefitsâ.
When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which involve various judgments and assumptions.

Level 1: This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares, and mutual fund investments.The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
B. Measurement of fair values
i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the reporting periods.
iii) Transfer out of Level 3
There were no movement in level 3 in either directions during the financial year ending on 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022.
C. Financial risk management
The Company has a well-defined risk management framework. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a Risk Management Policy. The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
⢠Credit risk;
⢠Liquidity risk; and
⢠Market risk (i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to perform or fail to pay amounts due causing financial loss to the company. The potential activities where credit risks may arise include from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and security deposits or other deposits and principally from credit
exposures to customers relating to outstanding receivables. The maximum credit exposure associated with financial assets is equal to the carrying amount. Details of the credit risk specific to the company along with relevant mitigation procedures adopted have been enumerated below:
The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Majority of the customers have been associated with the company for a considerable period of time. Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Companyâs standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed regularly.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances existing on that date to identify expected losses on account of time value of money and credit risk. The company reviews the receivables in light of their historical payment patterns and adjusts the same to estimate the expected loss on account of credit worthiness of the customer or delay in payments leading to loss of time value of money.
Other financial assets includes loan to employees, security deposits, investments, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balance, derivative asset, advances to employees etc.
⢠Cash and cash equivalents and Bank deposits are placed with banks having good reputation and past track record with adequate credit rating.
⢠Investments are made in credit worthy mutual funds and Non Convertible Debentures
⢠Derivative instrument comprises cross currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts where the counter parties are banks with good reputation, and past track record with adequate credit rating. Accordingly no default risk is perceived.
⢠Company has given security deposit to various government authorities (like Municipal corporation, Nagarpalika, Grampanchayat, etc.) . Being government authorities, the Company does not have exposure to any credit risk.
⢠Loan and advances to employees are majorly secured in nature and hence the Company does not have exposure to any credit risk.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are proposed to be settled by delivering cash or other financial asset. The Companyâs financial planning has ensured, as far as possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet the liabilities whenever due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation.
Management monitors the Companyâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Companyâs liquidity management policy involves periodic reviews of cash flow projections and considering the level of liquid assets necessary, monitoring balance sheet, liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as currency risk, other price risk and interest rate risk - will affect the Companyâs income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
a. Foreign Currency risk
The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupees and its revenue is generated from operations in India as well as outside india through its exports and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EURO and GBP. Foreign exchange risk arises from highly probable forecast transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through sensitivity analysis. The primary objective for forex hedging against anticipated foreign currency risks will be to hedge the Companyâs highly probable foreign currency cash flows arising from such transactions (thus reducing cash flow and profit volatility). The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company uses forward exchange contracts, to hedge the effects of movements in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated assets.The sources of foreign exchange risk are outstanding amounts payable for expenses denominated in foreign currency.The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk on its exports. These transactions are denominated in US dollars, EURO and GBP.
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price.Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments.The Companyâs investments in debentures recognised at amortised cost and get recouped through fixed coupon accruals . As at 31st March, 2023, the carrying value of the investments in debentures amounts to 227.41 lakhs ( 479.86 lakhs as at 31st March, 2022 ). The details of such investments in debentures are given in Note 7. Investments in debentures is not considered to be significant and hence the risk is negligible.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
As disclosed above, The interest rate exposure on floating rate Foreign Currency Loan has been fully hedged through a pay fixed - receive floating cross currency interest rate swap. Since there are no financial assets or financial liabilities which are at floating interest rate, there is no interest risk.

# Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost is not materially different from the amortized cost. Further, impact of time value of money is not significant for the financial instruments classified as current. Accordingly, the fair value has not been disclosed separately.
Types of inputs for determining fair value are as under:
Level 1: This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares, and mutual fund investments. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.
B. Measurement of fair values
i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs
The following tables show the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 2 and Level 3 fair values, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.

Details of the credit risk specific to the company along with relevant mitigation procedures adopted have been enumerated below:
Trade receivables
The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base. Majority of the customers have been associated with the company for a considerable period of time. Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company''s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed regularly
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances existing on that date to identify expected losses on account of time value of money and credit risk. The company reviews the receivables in light of their historical payment patterns and adjusts the same to estimate the expected loss on account of credit worthiness of the customer or delay in payments leading to loss of time value of money.
The above receivables which are past due but not impaired are assessed on case-to-case basis. Management is of the view that these financial assets are not impaired as there has not been any adverse change in credit quality and are envisaged as recoverable based on the historical payment behavior and extensive analysis of customer credit risk, including underlying customers'' credit ratings, if they are available. Consequently, no additional provision has been created on account of expected credit loss on the receivables. There are no other classes of financial assets that are past due but not impaired.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets includes loan to employees, security deposits, investments, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balance, derivative asset, advances to employees etc.
- Cash and cash equivalents and Bank deposits are placed with banks having good reputation and past track record with adequate credit rating.
- Investments are made in credit worthy mutual funds.
- Derivative instrument comprises cross currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts where the counter parties are banks with good reputation, and past track record with adequate credit rating. Accordingly no default risk is perceived.
- Company has given security deposit to various government authorities (like Municipal corporation, Nagarpalika, Grampanchayat, etc.). Being government authorities, the Company does not have exposure to any credit risk.
- Loan and advances to employees are majorly secured in nature and hence the Company does not have exposure to any credit risk.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are proposed to be settled by delivering cash or other financial asset. The Company''s financial planning has ensured, as far as possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet the liabilities whenever due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
Management monitors the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company''s liquidity management policy involves periodic reviews of cash flow projections and considering the level of liquid assets necessary, monitoring balance sheet, liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements.
Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as currency risk, other price risk and interest rate risk - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
a. Foreign Currency risk
The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupees and its revenue is generated from operations in India as well as outside india through its exports and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EURO and GBP. Foreign exchange risk arises from highly probable forecast transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through sensitivity analysis. The primary objective for forex hedging against anticipated foreign currency risks will be to hedge the Company''s highly probable foreign currency cash flows arising from such transactions (thus reducing cash flow and profit volatility). The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company uses forward exchange contracts, to hedge the effects of movements in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated assets. The sources of foreign exchange risk are outstanding amounts payable for capital goods denominated in foreign currency. The Company is also exposed to foreign exchange risk on its exports. These transactions are denominated in US dollars, EURO and GBP.
Foreign Currency Risk Sensitivity
The Company is mainly exposed to changes in USD, EURo & GBP. The below table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 5% increase or decrease in the USD, EURO and GBP against INR, with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company as at the reporting date. 5% represents management''s assessment of reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rate.
A Change of 5% in foreign currency net of hedges would have following impact on profit before tax
* The foreign exchange forward are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable future sales, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1.
(b) Disclosure of effects of hedge accounting on financial performance:
Cash flow hedge 31st March 2018
Other Price Risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments. The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investments in equity mutual fund recognized at FVTPL.As at 31st March, 2018, the carrying value of the investments in equity mutual fund amounts to ''97.06 Lakhs (''Nil as at 31st March, 2017 and ''Nil as at 1st April, 2016). The details of such investments in equity mutual fund is given in Note 6. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.
As disclosed above, The interest rate exposure on floating rate Foreign Currency Loan has been fully hedged through a pay fixed - receive floating cross currency interest rate swap. Since there are no financial assets or financial liabilities which are at floating interest rate, there is no interest risk
35 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company defines capital as total equity including issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to equity holders of the Company (which is the Company''s net asset value). The primary objective of the Company''s financial framework is to support the pursuit of value growth for shareholders, while ensuring a secure financial base.
The capital structure is monitored on the basis of net debt to equity and maturity profile of overall debt portfolio of the Company.
37 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Post- employment benefits :
The Company has the following post-employment benefit plans:
1) Defined benefit gratuity plan
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The scheme is funded with LIC in the form of qualifying insurance policy.
As per Actuarial Valuation as on 31st March, 2018, 31st March, 2017 and 1st April, 2016 and recognized in the financial statements in respect of Employee Benefit Schemes:
The above sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of reporting period, which is the same method as that applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognized in the balance sheet.
2) Defined contribution plans
The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation.

46 FIRST TIME ADOPTION of IND AS
These are the Company''s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
For all periods up to and including the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company had prepared its financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (''Previous GAAP''). This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP for the following:
a) Balance Sheet as at 1st April, 2016 (Transition date);
b) Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2017;
c) Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March, 2017; and
d) Statement of Cash flows for the year ended 31st March, 2017.
Exemption and exception applied
Ind AS 101- First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, allows first-time adopters, exemptions from the retrospective application and exemption from application of certain requirements of other Ind AS. The Company has availed the following exemptions as per Ind AS 101:
1 Estimates:
An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.
Ind AS estimates as at 1 April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:
- Investment in financial instruments carried at FVTPL or FVOCI,
- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model
- Determination of the discounted value for financial instruments carried at amortized cost.
2 Classification and measurement of financial assets:
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortized cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable. Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of the financial assets accounted at amortized cost has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.
3 Hedge Accounting
Hedge accounting can only be applied prospectively from the transition date to transactions that satisfy the hedge accounting criteria in Ind AS 109, at that date. Hedging relationships cannot be designated retrospectively, and the supporting documentation cannot be created retrospectively. As a result, only hedging relationships that satisfied the hedge accounting criteria as of 1st April
2016 are reflected as hedges in the company''s results under Ind AS.
4 Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment (PPE), intangible assets
Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets
Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.
5 Fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities
For financial instruments, where in fair market values are not available (viz. interest free and below market rate security deposits or loans) the Company has elected to adopt fair value recognition prospectively to transactions entered after the date of transition.
The presentation requirements under Previous GAAP differs from Ind AS, and hence, Previous GAAP information has been regrouped for ease of reconciliation with Ind AS. The Regrouped Previous GAAP information is derived from the Financial Statements of the Company prepared in accordance with Previous GAAP.
Notes to the reconciliation of equity as at 1st April 2016 and 31st March 2017 and Total comprehensive income for the year ended 31st March 2017.
1 Proposed dividend and its DDT
Under Previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are to be recognized only on approval by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, liability amounting to '' 121.45 Lakhs and related dividend distribution tax amounting to ''24.72 Lakhs are recognized as a liability in the year in which it is approved by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting of the Company. This has resulted in increase in equity amounting to '' 146.17 Lakhs as at 1st April 2016 and subsequent decrease in profit in FY 2016-17.
2 Excise Duty:
Under Previous GAAP, sale of goods was presented as net of exicse duty. However, under Ind AS, sale of goods includes excise duty. Excise duty on sale of goods amounting to Rs, 160.27 Lakhs is separately presented on the face of Statement of Profit and Loss. Thus, sale of goods under Ind AS has increased by an amount of Rs, 160.27 Lakhs.
3 Forward contract
Under the previous GAAP the premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge an existing asset/liability, was amortized as expense or income over the life of the contract. Under the Ind AS 109, Forward Contracts are carried at fair value and the resultant gains and losses are recorded in the statement of Profit and Loss. Accordingly, the same has been fair valued resulting in decrease in equity by Rs,36.08 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2017 (decrease Rs,20.02 Lakhs as at 1st April, 2016).Consequently, the profit for the year ended 31st March 2017 decreased by Rs, 16.06 Lakhs.
4 Interest bearing loans and borrowings
Under Previous GAAP ,transaction charges directly attributable to borrowings were either expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Under Ind AS, these have been considered to determine the amortized cost of the respective borrowings using effective interest rate method. Accordingly borrowings as at 01st April 2016 decreased by Rs, 0.71 Lakhs with corresponding effect in retained earning.
5 Loans given to employee
Under Previous GAAP, loan given to employee is considered in connection with interest bearing loans and borrowings. Under Ind AS, if loans are repayable on demand, then they are classified as current loan. As loan given to employees are repayable on demand, it is shown as current in nature.
6 Employee benefits :
Both under Previous GAAP and In
Both under Previous GAAP and Ind-AS, the company recognises costs related to its postemployment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Previous GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind-AS, remeasurements [comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability] are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI.
7 Deferred tax assets (net) :
Under Previous GAAP,deferred tax accounting used the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind-AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base.
8 Restatement of Prior Period Expenses
Under Previous GAAP, Prior period expenses of Rs, 3.22 Lakhs was recorded in the statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2017.
However in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS the same has been recognized by restating the retained earnings as on April 01, 2016.
9 Statement of cash flows
The transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS do not have any material impact on the statement of cash flows.
10 Other Comprehensive Income
Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as ''other comprehensive income''. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.
