The revenue is measured at the amount of consideration which the Company expects to be
entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct goods or services to a customer as specified
in the contract, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example taxes and
duties collected on behalf of the government). Consideration is generally due upon satisfaction
of performance obligations and a receivable is recognised when it becomes unconditional.
Sales are recognized when control of the products has been transferred, when the products
are delivered to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the
customer''s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped,
the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the
customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance
provisions have lapsed, or the company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance
have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the
consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment
is due. Sales are stated net of discounts, rebates and returns. It also excludes Goods and
Service Tax.
Income from leasing of buildings and related services is recognized at the rates prescribed
over the tenure of the lease/service agreement.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest
income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective
interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
through the expected life of the financial asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Dividends are recognized in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established,
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the company,
and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
Revenue from export incentives in the form of refund of duties and taxes on Export Products
(RODTEP scheme) and Duty Draw Back are accounted for on export of goods if the
entitlements can be estimated with reasonable assurance and conditions precedent to claim
are fulfilled.
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and
net realisable value. Cost of raw materials comprises cost of purchases.
Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an
appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the
basis of normal operating capacity.
Cost of inventories also includes all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted
average basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated
at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable
to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on
qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment''s.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any
component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the written down value (WDV) method over the
useful lives of assets as prescribed in Schedule - II of the Companies Act, 2013.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its
property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1 April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP
and used that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment. An item of
property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or
loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when
the asset is derecognised. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property,
plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate.
Investment property and depreciation
i. Recognition and measurement: Investment properties comprises of land and building are
measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment loss, if any. Though the Company measures investment property using cost-
based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes.
ii. Subsequent Expenditure: Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the
future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably.
iii. Depreciation: Depreciation on Investment Property is provided using the written down value
method based on the useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
iv. Reclassification from/to investment property: Transfers to (or from) investment property is
made only when there is a change in use. Transfers between investment property, owner-
occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property
transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure
purposes.
The Company classifies its investments in the following measurement categories:
i. Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income,
or through profit or (loss), and those measured at amortised cost.
ii. The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets
and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and
losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. 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 the equity investment at fair value
through other comprehensive income.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income.
For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the 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 the equity investment at fair value
through other comprehensive income.
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company''s
management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other
comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to
profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss when the Company''s
right to receive payments is established.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing
those assets changes.
Interest in subsidiaries and associate are recognised at cost less impairment (if any). Cost represents
amount paid for acquisition of the said investments. The Company assesses at the end of each
reporting period, if there are any indications that the said investments may be impaired. If so, the
Company estimates the recoverable value/amount of the investment and provides for impairment,
if any i.e. the deficit in the recoverable value over cost.
(f) Borrowing Costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a Qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete
and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income
earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
The Company has adopted new tax regime under section 115BAA and the applicable rate of tax is
25.168 %(i.e. 22% including surcharge and cess) for computing income tax and deferred tax for the
year 31st March 2024 and 2025.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on
the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or
liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects
neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period
and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred
income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available
to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when
there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred
tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to
offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it
relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax
is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively as applicable.
Lease is a contract that provides to the customer (lessee) the right to use an asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.
A lessee is required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases and to recognise
depreciation of leased assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement of
Profit and Loss. The Company uses the practical expedient to apply the requirements of this
standard to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics if the effect on the financial
statements of applying to the portfolio does not differ materially from applying the requirement
to the individual leases within that portfolio.
However according to Ind AS 116, for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (short¬
term leases) and for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, not to recognize a
right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The Company applies both recognition exemptions.
The lease payments associated with those leases are generally recognized as an expense
on a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis if appropriate.
Right-of-use assets, are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and, if
necessary, any accumulated impairment. The cost of a right-of-use asset comprises
the present value of the outstanding lease payments plus any lease payments made at
or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct
costs and an estimate of costs to be incurred in dismantling or removing the underlying
asset. In this context, the Company also applies the practical expedient that the
payments for non-lease components are generally recognized as lease payments. If
the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the
lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a
purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated to the end of the useful life of the
underlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use asset is depreciated to the end of the
lease term.
Lease liabilities, which are assigned to financing liabilities, are measured initially at the
present value of the lease payments. Subsequent measurement of a lease liability
includes the increase of the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Where the Company is a lessor
under an operating lease, the asset is capitalised within property, plant and equipment &
Investment Property and depreciated over its useful economic life. Payments received under
operating leases are recognised in the Statement of profit and Loss on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
Critical judgements required in the application of Ind AS 116 may include, among others, the
following:
- Identifying whether a contract (or part of a contract) includes a lease;
- Determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination option
will be exercised;
- Classification of lease agreements (when the entity is a lessor);
- Determination of whether variable payments are in-substance fixed;
- Establishing whether there are multiple leases in an arrangement;
- Determining the stand-alone selling prices of lease and non-lease components.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of Ind AS 116 may include, among
others, the following:
- Estimation of the lease term;
- Determination of the appropriate rate to discount the lease payments;
- Assessment of whether a right-of-use asset is impaired.

The Company and Nature of its Operations
The Indian Card Clothing Company Limited having its corporate office in Pune, Maharashtra, India, carries out its business in the card clothing and real estate segments. The Company is a public limited company and is listed on the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited.
Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these standalone financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of Preparation
i. Compliance with Ind AS
The standalone financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The financial statements of the company were authorised by the Board of Directors on 29th May 2023.
ii. Historical Cost Conversion
The Financial Statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except the following:
¦ Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value;
¦ Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value
iii. Current/non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
(b) Accounting estimates, assumptions & judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods presented.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates considering different assumptions and conditions.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Impact on account of revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. The amount of total deferred tax assets could change if estimates of projected future taxable income or if tax regulations undergo a change.
Useful life of Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE), Intangible Assets and Investment Properties
The Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual value of PPE at the end of each reporting period.
The factors such as changes in the expected level of usage, number of shifts of production, technological developments and product life-cycle, could significantly impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets. Consequently, the future depreciation charge could be revised and thereby could have an impact on the profit of the future years.
Employee Benefit Obligations
Employee benefit 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 and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, employee benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Litigations
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of each being always subject to many uncertainties inherent in litigation. A provision for litigation is made when it is considered probable that a payment will be made and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgement is made when evaluating, among other factors, the probability of unfavourable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss. Litigation provisions are reviewed at each accounting period and revisions made for the changes in facts and circumstances.
(c) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The board of directors of the Company are identified as the Chief operating decision maker. Refer note 39(a) for segment information presented.
(d) Foreign Currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Indian Card Clothing Limited functional and presentation currency. On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. As at the reporting date, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the Balance Sheet date and the exchange gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Exchange differences arising on settlement of transactions and translation of monetary items are recognized in the statement of Profit or Loss as Exchange gain/loss except to the extent, exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings, is expenses out as borrowing costs.
(e) Revenue Recognition
(i) Sale of products & Services.
The revenue is measured at the amount of consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct goods or services to a customer as specified in the contract, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government). Consideration is generally due upon satisfaction of performance obligations and a receivable is recognised when it becomes unconditional.
Sales are recognized when control of the products has been transferred, when the products are delivered to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer''s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due. Sales are stated net of discounts, rebates and returns. It also excludes Goods and Service Tax.
(ii) Income from Lease Rentals
Income from leasing of buildings and related services is recognized at the rates prescribed over the tenure of the lease/service agreement.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(iv) Dividends
Dividends are recognized in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(v) Export Incentives
Export benefits in the form of Duty Draw Back are recognised on receipt basis in the statement of Profit and Loss. Revenue from export incentives in the form of refund of duties and taxes on Export Products( RODTEP scheme) are accounted for on export of goods if the entitlements can be estimated with reasonable assurance and conditions precedent to claim are fulfilled.
(f) Borrowing Costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a Qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(g) Income Taxes
During the FY 2019-20, Section 115BAA has been inserted in the Income Tax Act, 1961 to give the benefit of a reduced corporate tax rate for the domestic companies. Section 115BAA states that domestic companies have the option to pay tax at a rate of 22% plus surcharge and cess from the FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21) onwards if such domestic companies adhere to certain conditions specified. The company need not pay tax under MAT if it opts for Section 115BAA. Since the new rate is beneficial, Company has adopted new rate of 25.168 %(i.e. 22% including surcharge and cess) for computing income tax and deferred tax for the year 31st March 2022 & 2023.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(h) Leases
Lease is a contract that provides to the customer (lessee) the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
A lessee is required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases and to recognise depreciation of leased assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement of Profit and Loss. The Company uses the practical expedient to apply the requirements of this standard to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics if the effect on the financial statements of applying to the portfolio does not differ materially from applying the requirement to the individual leases within that portfolio.
However according to Ind AS 116, for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, not to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The Company applies both recognition exemptions. The lease payments associated with those leases are generally recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis if appropriate.
a.1 Right to use asset
Right-of-use assets, which are included under property, plant and equipment, are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and, if necessary, any accumulated impairment. The cost of a right-of-use asset comprises the present value of the outstanding lease payments plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs and an estimate of costs to be incurred in dismantling or removing the underlying asset. In this context, the Company also applies the practical expedient that the payments for non-lease components are generally recognized as lease payments. If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the right-of-use asset is depreciated to the end of the lease term.
a.2 Lease liability
Lease liabilities, which are assigned to financing liabilities, are measured initially at the present value of the lease payments. Subsequent measurement of a lease liability includes the increase of the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
b. Company as a Lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Where the Company is a lessor under an operating lease, the asset is capitalised within property, plant and equipment & investment property and depreciated over its useful economic life. Payments received under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Critical judgements required in the application of Ind AS 116 may include, among others, the following:
- Identifying whether a contract (or part of a contract) includes a lease;
- Determining whether it is reasonably certain that an extension or termination option will be exercised;
- Classification of lease agreements (when the entity is a lessor);
- Determination of whether variable payments are in-substance fixed;
- Establishing whether there are multiple leases in an arrangement;
- Determining the stand-alone selling prices of lease and non-lease components.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of Ind AS 116 may include, among others, the following:
- Estimation of the lease term;
- Determination of the appropriate rate to discount the lease payments;
- Assessment of whether a right-of-use asset is impaired.
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(j) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables for calculation of expected credit losses on trade receivables
(k) Inventories - Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials comprises cost of purchases. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost of inventories also includes all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(l) Investments Classification
The Company classifies its investments in the following measurement categories:
i. Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or (loss), and those measured at amortised cost.
ii. The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. 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 the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Measurement
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the 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 the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company''s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss when the Company''s right to receive payments is established.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
(m) Property, Plant &equipment
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment''s. Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the written down value (WDV) method over the useful lives of assets as prescribed in Schedule - II of the Companies Act, 2013. On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1 April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and used that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.
(n) Investment Properties
Investment property and depreciation
i. Recognition and measurement: Investment properties comprises of land and building are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Though the Company measures investment property using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes.
ii. Subsequent Expenditure: Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
iii. Depreciation: Depreciation on Investment Property is provided using the written down value method based on the useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
iv. Reclassification from/to investment property: Transfers to (or from) investment property is made only when there is a change in use. Transfers between investment property, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.
(o) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(p) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn.
(q) Provisions & Contingencies
Provisions for legal claims and returns are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
A Contingent Liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made where there is a possible obligation arising out of past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation arising out of a past event where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
(r) Employee benefit obligations Short-term employee benefits
Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as shortterm employee benefits and are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Post-employment benefits Defined contribution plans
Contributions to superannuation fund, which are defined contribution schemes, are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the contribution is due.
Subsequent to the surrender of exemption and transfer of entire provident fund balances of the employees to the government managed provident fund, the Company''s contributions to the employees'' provident fund are made in accordance with the provisions of the act as amended from time to time or such other statute as made applicable. The Company has adopted a policy of charging Company''s Contributions to provident fund of employees directly to its Statement of Profit and Loss by recognising it as an expenses in the year when the contributions to the provident fund of the employees fall due. Accordingly, Company''s contribution to the provident fund of the employee is paid to the government managed provident fund immediately after the employee becomes entitled to receive Salary for the required service rendered by him. The employee''s contribution to his own provident fund is deducted from his salary and paid by the Company to the government managed provident fund on behalf of the employee.
Defined benefit plans
Gratuity - The employees'' gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the reporting date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income (OCI) in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan''s assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis.
When the benefits of the plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefits that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The company recognises gains/ losses on settlement of a defined plan when the settlement occurs.
Other long-term employee benefits - The liabilities for earned leave& sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method as determined by actuarial valuation. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating the terms of the related obligation.
Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Termination benefits - Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
(s) Cash dividend to equity holders
The company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
(t) Earnings per share (EPS)
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.
(u) Intangible assets Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets are recognised when the asset is identifiable, is within the control of the company, it 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 measured reliably. Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Intangible assets acquired by the company that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. 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.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
|
Asset |
Useful Life |
|
Software |
3 to 5 years |
(v) 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. 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 principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company. 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 considers a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another.
¦ 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.
o Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
o Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
o Level 3 - 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 re-assessing 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 as explained above.
Standards issued but not effective
Amendment to Indian Accounting Standard Rules, 2015
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide its notification dated 31 March 2023 notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 which amends certain accounting standards and are effective from 1 April 2023.
1. Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
2. Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are âmonetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertaintyâ. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
Mar 31, 2018
Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these standalone financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of Preparation
i. Compliance with Ind AS
The standalone financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The financial statements up to year ended 31 March 2017 were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
These financial statements are the first financial statements of the Company under Ind AS. Refer Note 35 for an explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the companyâs financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
ii. Historical Cost Conversion
The Financial Statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except the following:
- Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value;
- Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value
iii. Amended standards adopted by the Company
The amendments to Ind AS 7 require disclosure of changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, see note 35.
iv. Current/non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Companyâs operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
(b) Accounting estimates, assumptions & judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods presented.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates considering different assumptions and conditions.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on going basis. Impact on account of revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. The amount of total deferred tax assets could change if estimates of projected future taxable income or if tax regulations undergo a change.
Useful life of Proeprty, Plant & Equipment (PPE)
The Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual value of PPE at the end of each reporting period. The factors such as changes in the expected level of usage, number of shifts of production, technological developments and product life-cycle, could significantly impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets. Consequently, the future depreciation charge could be revised and thereby could have an impact on the profit of the future years.
Employee Benefit Obligations
Employee benefit 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 and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, employee benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Litigations
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of each being always subject to many uncertainties inherent in litigation. A provision for litigation is made when it is considered probable that a payment will be made and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgement is made when evaluating, among other factors, the probability of unfavourable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss. Litigation provisions are reviewed at each accounting period and revisions made for the changes in facts and circumstances.
(c) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Board of Directors of the Company are identified as the Chief operating decision maker. Refer note 41 for segment information presented.
(d) Foreign Currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Indian Card Clothing Company Limitedâs functional and presentation currency. On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are translated in to the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. As at the reporting date, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the Balance Sheet date and the exchange gains or losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(e) Revenue Recognition
1. Sale of goods and rendering of services - Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, taxes and amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as Goods and Services Tax. The Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods when the amount can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will fow to the entity and when significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from services is recognised as the related services are performed.
2. Income from Lease Rentals - Income from leasing of buildings and related services is recognized at the rates prescribed over the tenure of the lease/service agreement.
3. Other Income -
** Dividends - Dividend on investments is recognised when the companyâs right to receive it is established.
** Interest Income - Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using effective interest rate method (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
** Export Benefits - Export benefits in the form of Duty Draw Back are recognized on receipt basis and export benefits from Merchandise Exports Incentive Scheme (MEIS) claims are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on accrual basis.
(f) Borrowing Costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(g) Income Taxes
Current tax is provided on the basis of estimated tax liability, computed as per applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The company recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. The company reviews the âMAT credit entitlementâ asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(h) 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 fulfilment 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.
-- Company as a lessee
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the company is classified as a finance lease. Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases or another systematic basis is available.
-- Company as a lessor
Leases in which the company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases or another systematic basis is available. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the company to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the companyâs net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.
(i) Cash & Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(j) Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables for calculation of expected credit losses on trade receivables.
(k) Inventories - Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials comprises cost of purchases. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of first-in first-out basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(l) Investments ** Classification
The Company classifies its investments in the following measurement categories:
- Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or (loss), and
- Those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entityâs business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. 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 the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
** Measurement
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the 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 the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Companyâs management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss when the Companyâs right to receive payments is established.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
(m) Property, Plant & Equipments
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash fow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will fow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the written down value (wdv) method over the useful lives of assets as prescribed in Schedule - 11 of the Companies Act, 2013.
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1st April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.
(n) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
(o) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down.
(p) Provisions & Contingencies
Provisions for legal claims and returns are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outfow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
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 outfow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
Contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed, where an infow of economic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
(q) Employee benefit obligations -- Short-term employee benefits
Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits and are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
-- Post-employment benefits Defined contribution plans
Contributions to superannuation fund, which are defined contribution schemes, are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the contribution is due.
Defined benefit plans
Gratuity - The employeesâ gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on government securities as at the reporting date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income (OCI) in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
In case of funded plans, the fair value of the planâs assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis.
When the benefits of the plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefits that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The company recognises gains/ losses on settlement of a defined plan when the settlement occurs.
Provident fund
For employees, the Company contributes a part of the contributions to a trust. The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is administered by the government. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the trust and the notified interest rate.
The cost of providing benefits under above mentioned defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at balance sheet date, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method as determined by actuarial valuation. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating the terms of the related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The obligations are presented as current/non-current liabilities in the balance sheet depending upon the entityâs expected settlement of such obligation based on past experience.
(r) Cash dividend to equity holders
The company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
(s) Earnings per share (EPS)
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.
(t) Intangible assets -- Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets are recognised when the asset is identifiable, is within the control of the company, it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will fow to the company and cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
Intangible assets acquired by the company that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.
-- Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
-- Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. 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 refects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
Asset Useful Life
Software 5 years
(u) 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
i. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
ii. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company. 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 considers a market participantâs ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another.
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 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-- Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
-- Level 3 - 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 re-assessing 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 as explained above.
