3) MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This note provides a list of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
these financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
a) Property, plant and equipment
⢠Recognition and measurement
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment loss, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price and any directly
attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended
use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase
price.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction &
production of a qualifying asset for the period up to the date, the asset is ready for
its intended use or sale are included in the cost of the asset to which they relate.
Capital work-in-progress comprises of the cost of property, plant and equipment
that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the balance sheet date.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment
outstanding at each reporting date are disclosed under âOther non-current
assets".
⢠Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is
recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future
economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the company and its cost
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is
derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and
equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
⢠Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gains and
losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by
comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant
and equipment, and are recognised net and disclosed within other income or
expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
⢠Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an
asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment as
prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013, as assessed by the
management of the company based on technical evaluation except in the case of
following assets:
b) Intangible assets
⢠Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets are recognised when the asset is identifiable, is within the control
of the company, and is probable that the future economic benefits that are
attributable to the asset will flow to the company and cost of the asset can be
reliably measured.
Intangible assets acquired by the company that have finite useful lives are
measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets are not capitalized & the
related expenditure is recognized in the statement of profit & loss when incurred.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for finite-life intangible
assets is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate
⢠Derecognition
An item of intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gains and losses on
disposal of intangible asset are determined by comparing the proceeds from
disposal with the carrying amount of intangible asset and are recognised net and
disclosed within other income or expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
⢠Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives on a systematic
basis that reflects the pattern in which the asset''s future economic benefits are
expected to be consumed by the entity. Where such a pattern can be reliably
determined and is best reflected by the number of units sold, the units-of-sales
method is applied.
c) Leases
⢠Company as a lessee
The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for Residential Flat.
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, with the inception of a
contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. To
assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an
identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits
from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the
right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use
asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in
which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short¬
term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the
Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight¬
line basis over the term of the lease or another systematic basis, if that basis is
more representative of the pattern of lessee''s benefit.
The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the
amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives
received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be
incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or
restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of use assets
is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation,
accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the
lease liability. The right of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the
straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication
that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease
payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease
payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate
can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company
uses incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar
characteristics, the Company, on a lease-by-lease basis, may adopt either the
incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate
for the portfolio. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease
payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where
the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising
an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by
increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing
the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the
carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect
revised in-substance fixed lease payments.
Lease liability and Right of Use assets have been separately presented in the
Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
d) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication
that an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset''s or CGU''s fair value less costs of disposal or its value
in use. Where 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.
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
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value
less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. They are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and
then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
e) Inventories
Raw materials, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost is determined using weighted average method.
Work in process and finished goods other than by-products are valued at lower of cost
and net realizable value. Cost includes direct material cost, labour cost and
expenditure incurred in normal course of business in bringing inventories to its
location and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operating
capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is arrived at by absorption cost method.
By-products are valued at net realisable value.
Necessary provisions are made for obsolete and non-moving inventories as per the
policy framed by the management and the value of inventory is net of such provision.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale.
f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and cash on
hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which
are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
g) Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods are passed on to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is
probable, the associated costs can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing
effective control over, or managerial involvement with, the goods, and the amount of
revenue can be measured reliably. It excludes Goods and Service tax (GST). Sales are
stated net of discounts, rebates and returns.
h) Other income
⢠Interest income
Interest income from financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the company & the amount of income can be
measured reliably. Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the
Effective Interest Rate method (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the
estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or
a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial
asset.
⢠Any other incomes are accounted for on accrual basis.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of
a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for
its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Borrowing costs
consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the
borrowing of funds. Transaction costs in respect of long-term borrowings are
amortised over the tenor of respective loans using effective interest method. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs
also includes exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the
extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
j) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transactions in currencies other than the Company''s functional currency (i.e. foreign
currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences
on monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in
which they arise.
k) Employee Benefits
⢠Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the
services are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries,
wages, expected cost of bonus and short-term compensated absences, ex-gratia,
performance pay etc. are recognised in the period in which the employee renders
the related service.
⢠Post-employment benefits
Defined contribution plans
Provident fund scheme is a defined contribution plan. The company has no further
payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are
recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are due. The Company has a
policy of accounting gratuity on actuarial basis & leave encashment liability on
actual basis.
Company''s liability towards gratuity and compensated absences is determined
using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out
at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial
gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the return on plan assets (excluding
net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit
recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) in the period in which they occur.
Remeasurement recognised in the other comprehensive income is reflected
immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Net
interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to
the defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as
follows:
⢠service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and
losses on curtailments and settlements);
⢠net interest expense or income; and
⢠remeasurement
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in the
Statement of Profit and Loss in the line item "Employee benefits expense".
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the
actual deficit or surplus in the Company''s defined benefit plans. Any surplus
resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic
benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future
contributions to the plans.
Provision for compensated absences which are expected to be utilised within the
next twelve months are treated as current compensated absences and beyond
next twelve months as non-current compensated absences. For the purpose of
presentation, the allocation between current & non-current provision has been
disclosed as determined in actuary report.
Defined benefit plans
The Company do not have any Defined Benefit Obligation plan.
l) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises of current tax and net change in the deferred tax asset
& deferred tax liability during the year. It is recognised in the statement of profit and
loss except to the extent that it relates to the items recognised directly in OCI.
⢠Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to
be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable profits
computed for the current accounting period. The tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the
end of the reporting date.
⢠Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences
between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for
financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except
when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time
of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the
carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets
are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred
tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting
profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will
be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Un¬
recognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits
will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected
to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable
right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the
deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
⢠Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognized as an asset only when & to the
extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay Income Tax higher
than that computed under MAT, during the period that MAT is permitted to be set
off under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (specified period). MAT Credit of reporting period
is to be recognized in the financial year in which Income tax return of the reporting
period is filed with Income Tax authority, the said assets is created by way of credit
to the statement of profit & loss & shown as MAT credit entitlement. The company
reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date.

disposal with the carrying amount of intangible asset and are recognised net and disclosed within other income or expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost. Amortisation is recognised in statement of profit and loss on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are recognised in the statement of profit and loss generally on straight line basis.
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income on an operating lease is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis.

Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
⢠Reversal of impairment loss
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Raw materials, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted average method.
Work in process and finished goods other than by-products are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.

3) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
a) Property, plant and equipment
⢠Recognition and measurement
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction & production of a qualifying asset for the period up to the date, the asset is ready for its intended use or sale are included in the cost of the asset to which they relate.
Capital work-in-progress comprises of the cost of property, plant and equipment that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the balance sheet date.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date are disclosed under "Other non-current assetsâ.
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised net and disclosed within other income or expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
⢠Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part
of an item of property, plant and equipment as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013, as assessed by the management of the company based on technical evaluation except in the case of following assets:

evaluation report. |
Freehold land is not depreciated.
b) Intangible assets
⢠Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets are recognised when the asset is identifiable, is within the control of the company, and is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the company and cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Intangible assets acquired by the company that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets are not capitalized & the related expenditure is recognized in the statement of profit & loss when incurred.
⢠Derecognition
An item of intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gains and losses on disposal of intangible asset are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of intangible asset and are recognised net and disclosed within other income or expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost. Amortisation is recognised in statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
c) Leases
⢠Company as a lessee
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are recognised in the statement of profit and loss generally on straight line basis.
⢠Company as lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income on an operating lease is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis.
d) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset or
cash generating unit (CGU) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or CGU''s fair value less costs of disposal or its value in use. Where 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.
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 of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
⢠Reversal of impairment loss
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
e) Inventories
Raw materials, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using weighted average method.
Work in process and finished goods other than by-products are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct material and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overhead based on normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is arrived at by absorption cost method.
By-products are valued at net realisable value.
Necessary provisions are made for obsolete and non-moving inventories as per the policy framed by the management and the value of inventory is net of such provision.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and cash on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
g) Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are passed on to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing effective control over, or managerial involvement with, the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. It excludes Goods and Service tax (GST). Sales are stated net of discounts, rebates and returns.
h) Other income
Interest income from financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company & the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the Effective Interest Rate method (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
⢠Any other incomes are accounted for on accrual basis.i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Transaction costs in respect of long-term borrowings are amortised over the tenor of respective loans using effective interest method. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs also includes exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
j) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign subsidiaries are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income as described in accounting policy and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount shall be reclassified to the statement of Profit and loss when the net investment is derecognised by the Company.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies which are outstanding, as at the reporting period are translated at the closing exchange rates and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction.
k) Employee Benefits⢠Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, expected cost of bonus and short-term compensated absences, ex-gratia, performance pay etc. are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
⢠Post-employment benefits Defined contribution plans
Provident fund scheme is a defined contribution plan. The company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expenses when they are due. The Company has a policy of accounting gratuity on actuarial basis & leave encashment liability on actual basis.
The Company do not have any Defined Benefit Obligation plan.
Income tax expense comprises of current tax and net change in the deferred tax asset & deferred tax liability during the year. It is recognised in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to the items recognised directly in OCI.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable profits computed for the current accounting period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the end of the reporting date.
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Un-recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
m) Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and is probable 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.
When the company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the 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 recognised as a finance cost in the statement of profit and loss.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised in financial statements, unless they are virtually certain. However, contingent assets are disclosed where inflow of economic benefits are probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
⢠In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
⢠In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The Company uses valuation techniques that 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.
⢠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 input that 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
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the company has determined classes of assets and liabilities based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy.
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.
⢠Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are initially recognised when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the origination of the financial instrument where financial instruments not classified at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs of financial instruments which are classified as fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the statement of profit and loss.
⢠Subsequent measurement of financial assets
For the purposes of subsequent measurement, the financial assets are classified in the following categories based on the company''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of cash flows:
⢠those to be measured subsequently at fair value; either through OCI or through profit or loss
⢠those measured at amortised cost
For assets measured at fair value, changes in fair value will either be recorded in the statement of profit and loss or OCI. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for equity investment at fair value through OCI.
The company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
⢠Debt instruments at amortised cost
A ''debt instrument'' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are satisfied:
⢠The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
⢠The contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of hedging relationship is recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets'' cash flows represent SPPI, are measured at FVTOCI. The movements in the carrying amount are recognised through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains and losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gain or losses which are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to the statement of profit and loss and recognised in other gains/ losses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using EIR method.
Debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on debt instrument that is subsequently measured at FVTPL and is not a part of hedging relationship is recognised in the statement of profit and loss within other gains/ losses in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Equity investments
All equity investments in the scope of Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the company may make an irrevocable election to recognise subsequent changes in the fair value in OCI. The company makes such election on an instrument-byinstrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to the statement of profit and loss, even on sale of equity instrument.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
⢠Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
For the purposes of subsequent measurement, the financial liabilities are classified in the following categories:
⢠those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
⢠those measured at amortised cost
Following financial liabilities will be classified under FVTPL:
⢠Financial liabilities held for trading
⢠Derivative financial liabilities
⢠Liability designated to be measured under FVTPL
All other financial liabilities are classified at amortised cost.
For financial liabilities measured at fair value, changes in fair value will recorded in the statement of profit and loss except for the fair value changes on account of own credit risk are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Interest expense on financial liabilities classified under amortised cost category are measured using effective interest rate (EIR) method and are recognised in statement of profit or loss.
⢠Derecognition of financial instruments
The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the company neither transfers nor retain substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
⢠Impairment of financial assets
The company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets mentioned below:
⢠Financial assets that are debt instrument and are measured at amortised cost
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVOCI
⢠Trade receivables under Ind AS 18
The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Details how the company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk is explained in the respective notes.
For impairment of trade receivables, the company chooses to apply practical expedient of providing expected credit loss based on provision matrix and does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Percentage of ECL under provision matrix is determined based on historical data as well as futuristic information.
⢠Derivative financial instruments
Initial measurement and subsequent measurement
The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss.
p) Cash dividend
The company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
q) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic & diluted earnings per share is reported in accordance with Ind AS-33- Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted EPS adjust the figures used in the determination of basic EPS to consider
⢠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.
Identification of Segments
The Company''s operating business predominantly relates to manufacture of iron castings.
4) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the recognition & measurement principles of Ind AS, requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities, noncurrent liabilities, disclosure of the contingent liabilities and notes to accounts at the end of each reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management have made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Operating segment
Ind AS 108 Operating Segments requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the purpose of disclosure in financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by the Managing Director being the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources. The standard also requires Management to make judgments with respect to recognition of segments. Accordingly, the Company recognizes Iron Castings as its sole Segment.
Contingent liability
The Company has received various orders and notices from different Government authorities and tax authorities in respect of direct taxes and indirect taxes. The outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management regularly analyses current information about these matters and discloses the information relating to contingent liability. In making the decision regarding the need for creating loss provision, management considers the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. The filing of a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the Company or the disclosure of any such suit or assertions, does not automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate.
Estimates and assumptions
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 based its estimates and assumptions on parameters available when the financial statements are prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market conditions or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences including the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits are unused tax losses can be utilized.
Estimation and underlying assumptions are reviewed on ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
Mar 31, 2018
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting and comply with the Accounting Standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, (''ICAI'') and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2013. Accounting policies not specifically referred to otherwise are consistent with the generally accepted accounting principles.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in current and future periods
2.2 Inventories
Stock of Raw materials, finished goods, and work in progress, packing material, tools & spares, stores & consumables and goods in transit are valued at cost or realizable value whichever is less. Cost is arrived at on FIFO basis
2.3 Property, Plant & Equipment
Property, plant & equipment are stated at original cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any except for free hold land which is carried at revalued amount based on the report from Government approved valuer. The cost of the property, plant & equipment includes the purchase price and the incidental or directly attributable expenses incurred in bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
The Company has adopted cost model to measure the gross carrying amount of property, plant & equipment.
Gains and Losses arising from disposal of the property, plant & equipment which are carried at cost are recognised in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
The Company identifies and determines the cost of each component / part of the asset separately, if component / part have a cost which is significant to the total cost of asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset.
Spares and Parts which are in Inventory and which meet the definition of Property, Plant and Equipment, such items are accounted for in accordance with the AS10, Property, Plant and Equipment.
2.4 Intangible Assets
Development costs of some new sintered technology applications are capitalized considering the certainty of economic benefits likely to arise from the same over a long period. The said capitalized costs are amortized for the purpose of depreciation / impairment over a period based on the management estimates which are considered as per the expected useful product life of the intangible asset. Cost of development of the intangible assets consists of material cost, manpower cost, plant overheads and depreciation on machinery. The expected useful product life of each intangible asset is re-assessed on yearly basis.
2.5 Depreciation
Pursuant to Companies Act 2013, being effective from April 01,2014, the Company has provided depreciation as per provisions of Schedule II & Management estimates as applicable. Depreciation on property, plant & equipments added / disposed off during the year has been provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition / disposal.
2.6 Revenue Recognition
Revenue (Income) from sales of product is recognized when risk and rewards of ownership are passed on to the customers, which generally coincide with the dispatch of goods. Sales are stated on net basis i.e. exclusive of VAT, Excise Duty and GST.
2.7 Foreign Currency Transactions
Recording
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at original rates of exchanges in force at the time when the transactions are effected.
Realization / Payment
Exchange differences arising on realization / payment of foreign exchange during the year are accounted in the relevant year as income or expense.
Year end Adjustment
Foreign exchange difference on monetary items unrealized / outstanding as on year end date is quantified as per year end exchange rates or forward rate agreement as applicable and are charged to Profit & Loss account.
Hedging
In respect of Forward Exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks, the difference between the forward rate and exchange rate at the inception of the contract is recognized as income or expense over the life of the contract. Further, the exchange differences arising on such contracts are recognised as income or expense along with the exchange differences on the underlying assets/liabilities. Further, in case of other contracts with committed exchange rates, the underlying is accounted at the rate so committed. Profit or loss on cancellations/renewals of forward contracts is recognised during the year.
2.8 Retirement and Other Employee Benefits
The Company contributes towards Provident Fund, Family Pension fund which are defined contribution schemes. Contribution expenses are recognized as an expense in the Profit and loss account in the year in which the contribution is due. The Company has a policy of accounting gratuity on actuarial basis & leave encashment liability on actual basis.
2.9 Borrowing Cost
Borrowing Costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.10 Related Party Transactions
Related parties under clause 3 of the Accounting Standard 18 issued by ICAI have been identified on the basis of representations made by key managerial personnel and Information available with the Company.
2.11 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the Company''s earnings per share is the net profit for the period after deducting preference dividends and any attributable tax thereto for the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without corresponding change in the resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.12 Taxes on Income
Income-tax comprises of current tax and deferred tax (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period). Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that they will be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and written down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.
2.13 Impairment of Assets
In accordance with (AS-28) - Impairment of Assets, the carrying amounts of the Company''s assets including intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indications exist, the assets recoverable amount is estimated, as the higher of the net selling price and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is assessed at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.
2.14 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provision is recognized in the Balance sheet when, the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. A disclosure by way of a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. These estimates are reviewed at each Balance-Sheet date and adjusted to reflect current best estimates.
A Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past event(s) whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. It also includes a present obligation that is not recognised as it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. Accordingly, the Company does not recognise a contigent liablity but discloses obligation the existence of a contigent liability when there is a possible obligation or present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
2.15 Other Income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Income from duty drawback recoginsed on as accrual basis.
2.16 Cash and Cash Equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, demand deposits with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
