The Company is a public limited company incorporated in India having its registered office at 401\402\501, XCube, Plot No. 636, Opp. to Fun Republic Theater, Off Link Road, Andheri West, Mumbai - 400 053, Maharashtra, India. The Company is listed on BSE Limited (BSE).
B Basis of preparation of Financial Statements
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the financial years presented, unless otherwise stated. (Refer Note:- D for the details of first-time adoption exemptions availed by the Company).
The Company has adopted all the applicable Indian Accounting Standards (âInd ASâ) in accordance with Ind AS 101 - First Time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The Company has transited from its previous GAAP as defined in Ind AS 101 with the necessary disclosures relating to reconciliation of Shareholders equity under Previous GAAP and Ind AS and oft he net profit as Previous GAAP and Total Comprehensive Income under Ind AS.
i Statement of Compliance
In accordance with the notification dated 16th February, 2015, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Company has adopted Ind AS notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 with effect from 1st April, 2016.
The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) (The Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The Financial Statements up to year ended 31st March, 2017 were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 and other relevant provisions of the Act (âPrevious GAAPâ).
The Financial Statement for the year ended 31st March, 2018 is the first Financial Statement oft he Company which has been prepared in accordance with Ind AS. Previous period numbers for the year ended 31st March, 2017 in the Financial Statements have been restated to confirm to Ind AS. Accordingly, the date of transition to Ind AS is 1st April, 2016.
ii Basis of preparation and presentation
The Financial Statements have been prepared on historical cost basis considering the applicable provisions of Companies Act 2013 exceptt he following material items that have been measured at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS. Nevertheless, historical cost is generally based at the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
a) Certain financial assets/liabilities measured at fair value (refer Note 26) and
b) Any other item as specifically stated in accounting policy.
The Financial Statement are presented in Indian Rupee (âINRâ)
The company reclassifies comparative amounts, unless impracticable and whenever the company changes the presentation or classification of items in its financial statements materially. No such material reclassification has been made during the year.
The financial statements oft he Company for the year ended 31st March, 2018 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 26th May, 2018.
iii Use of Estimate and judgment
In the application of accounting policy which are described in note (C) below, the management is required to make judgment, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, contingent liabilities and the accompanying disclosures that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant and are prudent and reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future period.
The few critical estimations and judgments made in applying accounting policies are:
Evaluation of percentage completion:
Determination of revenues under the percentage completion method necessarily invloves making estimates, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentage of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project or activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Estimates of project income, as well as project costs, are reviewed periodically. The effect of changes, if any, to estimates is recognised in the financial statements for the period in which such changes are determined.
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Useful life of Property Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets are as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Impairment of Non-financial Assets:
For calculating the recoverable amount of non-financial assets, the company is required to estimate the value-in-use of the asset or the Cash Generating Unit and the fair value less costs to disposal. For calculating value in use the company is required to estimate the cash flows to be generated from using the asset. The fair value of an assets is estimated using a valuation technique where observable prices are not available. Further, the discount rate used in value in use calculations includes an estimate of risk assessment specific to the asset.
Impairment of Financial Assets:
The company impairs financial assets other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss or designated at fair value through other comprehensive income on expected credit losses. The estimation of expected credit loss includes the estimation of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). Estimation of probability of default apart from involving trend analysis of past delinquency rates include an estimation on forward-looking information relating to not only the counterparty but also relating to the industry and the economy as a whole. The probability of default is estimated for the entire life of the contract by estimating the cash flows that are likely to be received in default scenario. The lifetime PD is reduced to 12 month PD based on an assessment of past history of default cases in 12 months. Further, the loss given default is calculated based on an estimate of the value oft he security recoverable as on the reporting date. The exposure at default is the amount outstanding att he balance sheet date.
Defined Benefit Plans:
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments:
When the fair values offi nancial 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 (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is notf easible, a degree ofl udgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations ofi nputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
C Property, Plant And Equipment
For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of Property, Plant and Equipment (âPPEâ) recognised as of 1st April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the Previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost of the PPE as on the transition date.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes purchase price (after deducting trade discount / rebate), non-refundable duties and taxes, cost of replacing the component parts, borrowing costs and other directly attributable cost to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
An item of PPE is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use. Any profit or loss arising on the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual value. Where the residual value of an asset increases to an amount equal to or greater than the assetâs carrying amount, no depreciation charge is recognised till the assetâs residual value decreases below the assetâs carrying amount. Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for itt o be capable of operating in the intended manner. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale in accordance with IND AS 105 and the date thatt he asset is derecognised.
Intangible Assets
For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of intangible assets recognised as of 1st April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the Previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as on the transition date.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Software (not being an integral part of the related hardware) acquired for internal use are treated as intangible assets.
An item of Intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any profit or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE and other intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (âCGUâ) to which the asset belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The resulting impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Recoverable amount is the higher off air value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments oft he time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costt o sell, recent markett ransactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Financial Statements of Company are presented in INR, which is also its functional currency. In preparing the Financial Statements, transactions in currencies other than the entityâs functional currency are recognised att he rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency are reported at the exchange rate ruling on the date of transaction.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit And Loss in the period in which they arise.
Inventories
Work-in-progress - Real estate projects (including land inventory): Represents cost incurred in respect of unsold area of the real estate development projects under construction or cost incurred on projects where the revenue is yet to be recognised. Real estate work-in-progress is valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Direct expenditure relating to construction activity is inventorised. Indirect expenditure (including borrowing costs) during construction period is inventorised to the extent the expenditure is related to construction or is incidental thereto. Other indirect expenditure (including borrowing costs) incurred during the construction period which is neither related to the construction activity nor is incidental thereto is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Finished goods - Units : Valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The amount of any write-down of inventories to NRV and all abnormal losses of inventories are recognized as expense in the Statement of Profit And Loss in the period in which such write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of the write-down of inventories arising from increase in the NRV is recognized as a reduction from the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which reversal occurs.
Investment in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures And Associate
Investment in equity shares of subsidiaries are recorded at cost and reviewed for impairment at each reporting date.
Fair value measurement
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into accountt he characteristics of asset and liability if market participants would take those into consideration. Fair value for measurement and / or disclosure purposes in these Financial Statements is determined in such basis except for transactions in the scope of Ind AS 2, 17 and 36. Normally at initial recognition, the transaction price is the best evidence of fair value.
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 participantâs 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 those are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All financial assets and financial liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Financial Statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputt hat is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
Financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
Financial Instruments
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. The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability in its balance sheet only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
a) Financial Assets
A financial asset inter-alia includes any asset that is cash, equity instrument of another entity or contractual obligation to receive cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial asset or financial liability under condition that are potentially favourable to the Company.
Financial assets of the Company comprise trade receivable, cash and cash equivalents, Bank balances, Investments in equity shares of companies, investment other than equity shares, loans to employee / related parties / others and security deposits.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets except trade receivable are recognized 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. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are charged in the Statement of Profit And Loss. Where transaction price is not the measure off air value and fair value is determined using a valuation method that uses data from observable market, the difference between transaction price and fair value is recognized in the Statement of Profit And Loss and in other cases spread over life of the financial instrument using effective interest.
The Company measures the trade receivables at their transaction price, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in three categories:
- Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- Financial assets at fair value through OCI
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the financials asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These financials assets are amortized using the effective interest rate (âEIRâ) method, less impairment. Amortized 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 amortization is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit And Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit And Loss .
Financial assets at fair value through OCI (âFVTOCIâ)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. At initial recognition, an irrevocable election is made (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments other than held for trading purpose at FVTOCI. Fair value changes are recognized in the other comprehensive income (âOCIâ). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Statement of Profit And Loss. On derecognition of the financial asset other than equity instruments designated as FVTOCI, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified to the Statement of Profit And Loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (âFVTPLâ)
Any financial asset that does not meet the criteria for classification as at amortized cost or as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Further, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss also include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial assets atf air value through profit or loss are fair valued at each reporting date with all the changes recognized in the Statement of Profit And Loss.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the financial asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit loss (âECLâ) model on the following:
- Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost; and
- Financial assets measured at FVTOCI.
ECL is measured through a loss allowance on a following basis:-
- The 12 month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that resultf rom those default events on the financial instruments that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date)
- Full life time expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of financial instruments)
The Company follows âsimplified approachâ for recognition of impairment on trade receivables or contract assets resulting from normal business transactions. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. However, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, from the date of initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets, the Company determines whether there has been a significanti ncrease in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is provided. For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company assesses the credit risk characteristics on instrument-by-instrument basis.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls) discounted at the original EIR.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as expense/income in the Statement of Profit And Loss.
b) Financial Liabilities
The Companyâs financial liabilities include loans And borrowings including bank overdraft, trade payable, accrued expenses and other payables etc.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities at initial recognition are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, as appropriate. All financial liabilities classified at amortized cost are recognized initially at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the fair value at initial recognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit And Loss or in the CWIP, if another standard permits inclusion of such costi n the carrying amount of an asset over the period of the borrowings using the Effective interest rate (âEIRâ) method.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends upon the classification as described below:-Financial Liabilities classified as Amortised Cost
Financial Liabilities that are not held for trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part oft he EIR. Interest expense thati s not capitalized as part of costs of assets is included as Finance costs in the Statement of Profit And Loss.
Financial Liabilities classified as Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL includes financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 is satisfied.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged / cancelled / expired. 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 recognized in the Statement of Profit And Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal rightt o offsett he recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Share capital and share premium
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction net of tax from the proceeds. Par value of the equity share is recorded as share capital and the amount received in excess of the par value is classified as share premium.
Dividend Distribution to equity shareholders
The Company recognizes a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in other equity along with any tax thereon.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is (or contains) a lease, if fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Finance leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item (i.e. PPE), are generally capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction in lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the Statement of Profit And Loss.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Profit And Loss over the period of lease on straight line basis other than those cases where the escalations are linked to expected general inflation in which case they are charged on contractual terms.
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Such provisions are determined based on management estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a standalone asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance costs.
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist when a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from it.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgment of management/independent experts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
Contingent Assets are not recognized, however, disclosed in financial statement when inflow of economic benefits is probable. Revenue Recognition and Other Income
The Company follows the âPercentage Completion Methodâ of accounting. As per this method, revenue from sale of properties is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in proportion to the actual cost incurred (including land cost) as against the total estimated cost of projects (including land cost) under execution as well as area sold, with the Company on transfer of significant risk and rewards to the buyer.
In accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Real Estate Transactions (for entities to whom Ind AS is applicable), construction revenue on such projects, measured at the fair value(i.e. adjusted for discounts, incentives, time value of money adjustments etc.,) have been recognised on percentage completion method provided the following thresholds have been met:
i) All critical approvals necessary for the commencement of the project have been obtained;
ii) The expenditure incurred on construction and development costs is not less than 25 percent oft he total estimated construction and development costs;
iii) At least 25 percent of the saleable project area is secured by contracts or agreements with buyers; and
iv) At least 10 percent of the contract consideration is realized at the reporting date in respect of such contracts and it is resonable to expect that the parties to such contracts will comply with the payment terms as defined in the contract.
Determination of revenues under the percentage completion method necessarily invloves making estimates, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentage of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project or activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Estimates of projecti ncome, as well as project costs, are reviewed periodically. The effect of changes, if any, to estimates is recognised in the financial statements for the period in which such changes are determined. Losses if any are fully provided for immediately.
Income from Services is recognised as per the terms of the contract with the customers when the related services are performed or the agreed milestones are achieved.
Company collects and spends money towards maintainence of the completed projects where society is yet to be formed or where the affairs of the maintenance of building constructed by them has not been handed over to the society. The same is reflected as other operating revenue
Dividend income is recognized when the companyâs right to receive dividend is established by the reporting date.
Interest income on financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the EIR method.
When a receivable is impaired, the Company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation of PPE commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. Depreciation on PPE is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. PPE which are added / disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis from / up to the date on which the asset is available for use / disposal. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Component of an item of PPE with the cost that is significant in relation to total cost of that item is depreciated separately if itâs useful life differs from other components of the assets.
Depreciation on PPE is provided over the useful life of assets as specified in the Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 to the extent of 95 percent except the following:-
Cost of software recognized as âIntangible Assetsâ is amortized on straight line method over a period of three years or its license period, whichever is earlier. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on prospective basis.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest and amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings with reference to the effective interest rate applicable to the respective borrowings.
Borrowing cost pertaining to development of long term projects are transferred to Construction work in progress , as part of the cost of the projects upto the time all the activities necessary to prepare these projects for its intended use or sale are complete.
All other borrowing costs are recongnised as expense in the period in which they are incurred
Employee Benefits
Short-term Employees Benefits
All short term employees benefits such as salaries, wages, allowances, performance incentive, employee welfare costs, exgratia are recognised during the period in which the employee render services and are measured at undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Post-employment benefits
The Company provides the following post-employment benefits:
i) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity and
ii) Defined Contribution plans such as provident fund.
The Company provides the following post-employment benefits:
Defined benefits plans
The cost of providing defined benefit plans such as gratuity is determined on the basis of present value of defined benefits obligation which is computed using the projected unit credit method with independent actuarial valuation made at the end of each annual reporting period, which recognizes each period of service as given rise to additional unit of employees benefit entitlement and measuring each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
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 except those included in cost of assets as permitted.
Re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions, the effect of change in assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan asset (excluding net interest as defined above) are recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur.
Defined Contribution Plans
Contributions to the Provident Fund are made at a pre-determined rate and charged to the statement of Profit and Loss.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense represents the sum oft ax currently payable and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax includes provision for Income Tax computed under Special provision (i.e., Minimum alternate tax) or normal provision of Income Tax Act. Tax on Income for the current year is determined on the basis on estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unabsorbed losses and unabsorbed depreciation to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, unabsorbed losses and unabsorbed depreciation can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off currentt ax assets against currentt ax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extentt here is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asseti s reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

D First time adoption of Ind AS - mandatory exceptions / optional exemptions
Overall principle
The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of April 1, 2016 (the transition date) by recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying certain items from Previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under the Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in the measurement of recognised assets and liabilities. However, this principle is subjectt o certain mandatory exceptions and certain optional exemptions availed by the Company as detailed below.
Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Company has applied the de-recognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities prospectively for transactions occurring on or after April 1, 2016 (the transition date).
Classification of debt instruments
The Company has determined the classification of debt instruments in terms of whether they meet the amortised cost criteria or the fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) criteria based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the transition date.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101, it has used reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to determine the credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially recognised in order to compare it with the credit risk at the transition date. Further, the Company has not undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining, at the date of transition to Ind AS whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind AS 101.
Deemed cost for PPE, CWIP and Intangible assets
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its PPE, CWIP and Intangible assets recognized as of 1st April 2016 (Transition date) measured as per previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.
E Recent accounting pronouncements
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), on 28 March 2018, notified Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Appendix B to Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates as part of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018. These amendments will come into force from 1st April, 2018.
Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contract with Customers:
Ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including Ind AS 18, Revenue, Ind AS 11, Construction contracts and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
Identify the contract(s) with a customer, Identify the performance obligations in the contract, Determine the transaction price, Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Under Ind AS 115, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e., when âcontrolâ oft he goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in Ind AS 115 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by Ind AS 115.

cost, provision for diminution in value being made to recognise a
decline other than temporary.
iii. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is
any indication that an asset may be impaired based on internal/
external factors. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates
the recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized
wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assetÃs net
selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at
the weighted average cost of capital.
