2 Basis of preparation

A Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), under historical cost convention on an accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, (the ''Act'') and other relevant provisions of the Act.

Effective from 1st April, 2017, the Company has adopted all issued Ind AS standards, as applicable, and the adoption was carried out in accordance with Ind AS 101 - "First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards" with 1st April, 2016 as the transition date. The transition was carried out from Indian Accounting Principles Generally accepted in India (Indian GAAP) and accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) which was the previous GAAP.

Accounting policy has been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires change in accounting policy hitherto in use.

Details of the Company''s accounting policies are included in Note 3. B Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company''s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lakhs, except per share data.

C Current and non-current classification:

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act. 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 and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

D Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following:

1. Certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at the fair value.

2. Assets held for sale are measured at lower of carrying amount or fair value.

3. Defined benefit plans - Plan assets measured at fair value.

E Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions and judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.

In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, assumptions and judgments, which have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets

The Company has estimated the useful lives of each class of assets based on the nature of assets, the estimated usage of the assets, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, etc. Management believes that assigned useful lives are reasonable. The Company reviews the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at the end of each balance sheet date. The useful lives and residual values of Company''s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. This reassessment may result in change of depreciation expense in future periods.

Income taxes

Management estimates the provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The factors used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to adjustment to the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Contingencies

Management assesses and estimates the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/ litigations against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.

Allowance for uncollected accounts receivable and advances

Irrecoverable trade receivables are written off when management judges them as not collectible. Impairment is made on the expected credit losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the financial assets.

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending 31st March 2019 is included in the following notes:

Notes 37 - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources;

Notes 38 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions; 3. Significant Accounting Policies 3.1 Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE):

Property, Plant and Equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if any. The cost of fixed assets includes non-refundable taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition, installation and bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for, as separate items (major components) of Property, Plant and Equipment.

Any gains or losses on their disposal, determined by comparing sales proceeds with carrying amount, are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Subsequent expenditure:

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment as at 1st April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value:

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method based on the useful life and in the manner prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following categories of assets, where the useful life of the property, plant and equipment have been determined by the Management based on the technical assessment / evaluation:

Category of property, plant and equipment

Useful Life in Years

As per Schedule II

As per Company''s Assessment

Plant & Equipment

12-40

5-40

Computer Equipments

3-6

3-4

R&D Lab Equipments

10

2-10

In the case of improvements on Leasehold premises, amortisation is provided over lease period or useful life of the asset whichever is less. Leasehold rights for land are amortised on a straight line method over its lease period. Individual assets costing less than Rs 10,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted if appropriate. Based on technical evaluation and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimates of useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets.

3.2 Intangible Assets:

(i) Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation, (ii) Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis as under:

a) Software costing up to Rs 25,000 is amortised out in the year of acquisition. Other Software acquired is amortised over its estimated useful life of 3 years;

b) Intellectual Property is amortised over its estimated useful life of 2 years.

The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortization period are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Research and Development expenses:

Expenditure on research activities other than expenditure incurred on acquisition of capital assets is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognised if, and only if it meets the recognition criteria.

The amount initially recognised is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria. Where no intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the same are incurred.

Subsequent to its initial recognition, the development expenditure recognised as an asset is reported at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, on the same basis as acquired intangible assets

De-recognition of intangible assets

An Intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognized.

The company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets as at 1 April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.

3.3 Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets:

The Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that the previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of amortized historical cost impaired earlier.

3.4 Non-current assets held for sale:

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Once classified as held for sale, intangible asset, property, plant and equipment and investment properties are no longer amortized or depreciated.

3.5 Foreign currency transactions and balances: Initial recognition:

Foreign currency transactions (other than advance receipt or payment of foreign currency) are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. The foreign currency transactions received or paid in advance are accounted at the date of receipt or payment of foreign currency.

Conversion:

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated using the foreign exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities which are carried at historical cost are not translated.

Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge and manage foreign currency exposures relating to highly probable transactions or firm commitments are marked mark to market and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the statement of profit and loss.

Effective April 1, 2018 the company has adopted Appendix B to Ind AS 21- Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration which clarifies the date of transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The effect on account of adoption of this amendment was insignificant.

3.6 Financial Instruments:

Recognition and initial measurement:

A financial asset or financial liability other than those items that are not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) is initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

The trade receivables are recognized when right to consideration is established on transfer of control of goods and services and on fulfillment of performance obligation related to goods and services.

All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Classification and subsequent measurement:

Financial assets:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) (FVOCI - debt investment); Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or Fair value through profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period, the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment''s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment by investment basis.

All financial assets that do not meet the criteria for measurement at amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI are measured at FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Debt investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

Interest income under the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to profit or loss. The Company transfers amounts from OCI to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognized.

Impairment

The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets and unbilled revenues which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables and unbilled revenues with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as measured at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition:

Financial assets:

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 retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities:

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in profit or loss.

Offsetting:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting:

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

3.7 Inventories:

Inventories are valued on the principle laid down by Ind AS 2 "Inventories" on the basis given below:

(a) Raw Materials, Stores & Spares Lower of cost (determined on weighted average basis) and net (that are not capitalized) and realizable value.

Fuel

(b) Packing Material Lower of cost (determined on FIFO basis) and net realizable value

(c) Work-in-Progress Lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials, labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

(d) Finished Goods Lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost includes direct materials, labour, a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

3.8 Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into and cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term bank deposits with original maturity of three months or less.

3.9 Taxation:

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax charge or credit.

Current Tax:

Current Tax is determined as the amount of income tax payable to the taxation authorities in respect of taxable income for the period.

The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statement and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax asset are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized of the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor accounting profit.

Where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised on assessment of reasonable certainty about realisation of such assets.

Credit for Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) if any is recognized as a part of deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet 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 tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

3.10 Revenue from Contract with Customers:

The Company''s revenue is primarily comprised of sale of pigments, detergents and sulphonation products, Services income from ITES and BPO operations and sale of power from wind turbine generators.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after netting trade discounts, volume discounts, sales returns and Goods and Services Tax. Revenue from sale of goods is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers.

Revenue from contract with customers is recognised when the Company satisfies performance obligation by transferring promised goods and services to the customer. Performance obligations are satisfied at a point of time. Performance obligations are said to be satisfied at a point of time when the customer obtains controls of the goods / services rendered.

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" using the cumulative catch-up transition method, applied to all contracts that were not completed as of April 1, 2018. In accordance with the cumulative catch-up transition method , the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted.

Income from services

i. In case of IT Enabled Services, revenue from service contracts are recognized pro-rata, as and when the services are rendered over the period of time as per terms of contract and are net of service tax/Goods and Services Tax.

ii. Income from BPO activities is recognized on on satisfaction of performance obligations at a point of time based on the terms of the contract with customers.

Income from wind turbine generators

Revenue from sale of power from wind operated generators is accounted when the same is transmitted to and confirmed by the Electricity Board to whom the same is sold.

The impact on account of applying the erstwhile Ind AS 18 Revenue instead of Ind AS 115 Revenue from contract with customers on the financials results of the Company for the year ended and as at March 31, 2019 is insignificant and has no impact. The recognition of these revenue streams is largely unchanged by adoption IND AS 115.

Export benefits:

The benefit accrued under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS), Duty Drawback Scheme as per the Export and Import Policy in respect of exports made under the said Schemes is accounted on an accrual basis and is included under the head "revenue from operations" as ''Export Incentives''.

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are recognised in the year when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of exports made and are accounted to the extent there is no significant uncertainty about the measurability and ultimate utilization/ realization of such duty credit.

Dividend and Interest income:

Dividend income is recognized when the unconditional right to receive the income is established.

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 to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Sale of Scrap

Revenue from sale of scrap is recognized on sale.

3.11 Employee Benefits:

Defined contribution plans:

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to recognized provident funds and approved superannuation schemes which are defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense and charged to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are received from the employees.

Defined benefit plans:

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, and certain other defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefits that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. An unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted.

The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on risk free government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company''s obligations. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. In case of funded defined benefit plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognize the obligation on net basis.

Retirement and other employee benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, performance incentive, paid annual leave, bonus, leave travel assistance, medical allowance, contribution to provident fund and superannuation etc. recognized as actual amounts due in period in which the employee renders the related services.

i. A retirement benefit in the form of Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contribution to the fund accrues. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the recognized Provident Fund.

ii. A retirement benefits in the form of Superannuation Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contribution is charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contribution accrues. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the Superannuation Fund Trust. The scheme is funded with Insurance Company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.

iii. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year. The Company has established a gratuity trust to provide gratuity benefit through annual contributions to a Gratuity trust which in turn contributes to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Under this plan, the settlement obligation remains with the Gratuity trust. Life Insurance Corporation of India administers the plan and determines the contribution premium required to be paid by the trust.

iv. Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and the resultant actuarial gains/(losses) are recognized immediately in the statement of other comprehensive income.

3.12 Accounting for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:

Provisions:

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

Contingent liabilities:

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.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed for:-

(i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or

(ii) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.

Contingent assets:

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.

3.13 Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs worked out are determined on effective interest rate, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, that necessarily take a substantial period to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing cost eligible for capitalization.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

3.14 Leases:

The lease arrangement is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, at the inception of the lease, based on the substance of the lease arrangement.

Finance Leases

A finance lease is recognized as an asset and a liability at the commencement of the lease, at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Initial direct costs, if any, are also capitalized and, subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Operating Leases

Other leases are operating leases, and the leased assets are not recognized on the Company''s Balance Sheet. Payment made under operating leases are generally recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor''s expected inflationary cost increases.

3.15 Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit/ (loss) from continuing operations and the total profit/ (loss)attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

For calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit/(loss) from continuing operations and the total profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

3.16 Cash Flow Statement

The Cash Flow Statement is prepared by using the "indirect method" set out in Ind AS 7 on "Cash Flow Statements" and presents the cashflows during the period by operating, investing and financing activities of the Company.

3.17 Segment Reporting

Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

Based on the "management approach" as defined in Ind AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company''s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented in the segment reporting. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.

Based on the above, Business segments of the Company are primarily Laundry and allied products; IT enabled services & BPO services and Wind Turbine Generator. The analysis of Geographic segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company Operate.

The Company accounts for inter segment revenues at current market prices.

Unallocated income and expenses includes general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any segment.

3.18 Government Grants and Subsidies:

i. Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions.

ii. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognized in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

iii. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.

3.19 Dividend:

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the Shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company''s Board of Directors.

3.20 Amendments to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) issued but not yet effective a) Ind AS 116 Leases

On 30th March, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified Ind AS 116, ''Leases'' as part of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)) Amendment Rules, 2019. Ind AS 116 replaces existing standard on leases i.e. Ind AS 17, Leases with effect from accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019.

The Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the lessee and the lessor.

It eliminates the classification of leases as either finance leases or operating leases for a lessee as required by Ind AS 17. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.

A lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Requirements with regard to lessor accounting are substantially similar to accounting requirements contained in Ind AS 17. Accordingly, a lessor will continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

The Company''s operating leases mainly of Land & Buildings and fully fitted office premises which are on long term lease ranging from 5 to 9 years.

The Company has carried out its preliminary evaluation of the possible impact of Ind AS 116 and will adopt the standard using the ''Modified Retrospective Method'' based on the principles in Ind AS 116. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings i.e 1st April, 2019, consequently, comparatives for the year ended 31st March, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company expect this adoption will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities and is likely to have a significant impact on the standalone financial statements.

On March 30, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2019 amending the following standards:

b) Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments to Ind AS 12, ''Income taxes'' The appendix corresponds to IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee:

This amendment clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of Ind AS 12 ''Income taxes'', are applied where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. An uncertain tax treatment is any tax treatment applied by an entity where there is uncertainty over whether that treatment will be accepted by the tax authority. For example, a decision to claim a deduction for a specific expense or not to include a specific item of income in a tax return is an uncertain tax treatment if its acceptability is uncertain under tax law. The amendment applies to all aspects of income tax accounting where there is an uncertainty regarding the treatment of an item, including taxable profit or loss, the tax bases of assets and liabilities, tax losses and credits and tax rates.

c) Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation, Amendments to Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments.

This amendment enables entities to measure certain pre-payable financials assets with negative compensation at amortised cost. These assets, which include some loan and debt securities, would otherwise have to be measured at fair value through profit and loss. Negative compensation arises where the contractual terms permit the borrower to prepay the instrument before its contractual maturity, but the prepayment amount could be less than unpaid amounts of principal and interest. However, to qualify for amortised cost measurement, the negative compensation'' must be ''reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract''.

That is, when a financial liability measured at amortised cost is modified without this resulting in derecognition, a gain or loss should be recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate:

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2019

d) Ind AS 19 - Employee Benefits - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement, Amendments

The amendments to Ind AS 19 clarify the accounting for defined benefit plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendments require an entity:

• to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement; and

• to recognise in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus was not previously recognised because of the impact of the asset ceiling.

e) Ind AS 28 - Long term interests in Associates and Joint Ventures - accounting for long-term interests in associates and joint ventures to which the equity method is not applied but that in substance form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture (long-term interests)

f) Annual Improvements to Ind AS.

(i) Ind AS 23, ''Borrowing Cost''- clarified that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding or the related qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, it becomes part of general borrowings.

(ii) Ind AS 103, ''Business Combination''- clarified that obtaining control of a business that is a joint operation is a business combination achieved in stages. The acquirer should re-measure its previously held interest in the joint operation at fair value at the acquisition date.

(iii) Ind AS 111, ''Joint arrangements''- clarified that the party obtaining joint control of a business that is a joint operation should not measure its previously held interest in joint operation.

(iv) Ind AS 12, ''Income Taxes''- clarified that the income tax consequences of dividends on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognised according to where the past transactions or events the generated distributable profits were recognised. These requirements apply to all income tax consequences of dividends.

The above stated amendments is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2019. The Company does not expect the effect of this on the financial statements to be material based on preliminary evaluation.


Mar 31, 2018

1. Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE):

Property, Plant and Equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if any. The cost of fixed assets includes non-refundable taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition, installation and bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for, as separate items (major components) of Property, Plant and Equipment.

Any gains or losses on their disposal, determined by comparing sales proceeds with carrying amount, are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Subsequent expenditure:

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

Transition to Ind AS:

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment as at 1st April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such property, plant and equipment (see Notes 4 & 41).

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value:

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method based on the useful life and in the manner prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following categories of assets, where the useful life of the property, plant and equipment have been determined by the Management based on the technical assessment/evaluation:

In the case of improvements on Leasehold premises, amortisation is provided over lease period or useful life of the asset whichever is less. Leasehold rights for land are amortised on a straight line method over its lease period. Individual assets costing less than Rs.10,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted if appropriate. Based on technical evaluation and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimates of useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets.

1.2 Intangible Assets:

(i) Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation.

(ii) Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis as under:

a) Software costing up to Rs. 25,000/-is amortised out in the year of acquisition. Other Software acquired is amortised over its estimated useful life of 3 years;

b) Intellectual Property is amortised over its estimated useful life of 2 years.

The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortization period are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Research and Development expenses:

Expenditure on research activities other than expenditure incurred on acquisition of capital assets is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development is recognised if, and only if it meets the recognition criteria.

The amount initially recognised is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria. Where no intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the same are incurred.

Subsequent to its initial recognition, the development expenditure recognised as an asset are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, on the same basis as acquired intangible assets.

De-recognition of intangible assets

Intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognized.

Transition to Ind AS:

On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets as at 1 April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets (see Notes 4 & 41).

1.3 Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets:

The Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that the previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of amortized historical cost impaired earlier.

1.4 Non-current assets held for sale:

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Once classified as held for sale, intangible asset, property, plant and equipment and investment properties are no longer amortized or depreciated.

1.5 Foreign currency transactions and balances: Initial recognition:

Foreign currency transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respectivetransactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Conversion:

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translatedusing the foreign exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. The resultant exchange differences are recognizedin the statement of profit and loss

Non-monetary assets and liabilities which are carried at historical cost are not translated.

Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge and manage foreign currency exposures relating to highly probable transactions or firm commitments are marked mark to market and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the statement of profit and loss.

1.6 Financial Instruments: Recognition and initial measurement:

A financial asset or financial liability other than those items that are not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) is initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Classification and subsequent measurement: Financial assets:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at

- amortized cost;

- fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) (FVOCI - debt investment);

- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or

- Fair value through profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment- by- investment basis.

All financial assets that do not meet the criteria for measurement at amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI are measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Debt investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to profit or loss.

The Company transfers amounts from OCI to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognized.

Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses:

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as measured at FVTPL if it is classified as held- for- trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition: Financial assets:

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 retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities:

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in profit or loss.

Offsetting:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting:

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

1.7 Inventories:

Inventories are valued on the principle laid down by Ind AS 2 “Inventories” on the basis given below:

(a) Raw Materials, Stores & Spares Lower of cost (determined on weighted average basis) and net (that are not capitalized) and realizable value.

Fuel

(b) Packing Material Lower of cost (determined on FIFO basis) and net realizable value.

(c) Work-in-Progress Lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials, labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

(d) Finished Goods Lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost includes direct materials, labour, a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into and cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term bank deposits with original maturity of three months or less.

1.9 Taxation:

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax charge or credit.

Current Tax:

Current Tax is determined as the amount of income tax payable to the taxation authorities in respect of taxable income for the period.

The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statement and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax asset are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized of the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor accounting profit.

Where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised on assessment of reasonable certainty about realisation of such assets.

Credit for Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) if any is recognized as a part of deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet 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 tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

1.10 Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Sale of goods:

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer. Gross sales include amounts recovered towards Excise Duty and are net of returns.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

- the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

- the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

- it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

- the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue from the sale of goods is inclusive of excise duty and is net of returns, value added tax, Goods and Services Tax(GST), trade discounts and volume rebates. It is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. This inter alia involves discounting of the consideration due, to the present value, if payment extends beyond the normal credit terms.

Income from services

i. In case of IT Enabled Services, revenue from service contracts are recognized pro-rata, as and when the services are rendered over the period of the contract and are net of service tax/Goods and Services Tax.

ii. Income from BPO activities is recognized on an accrual basis, based on the terms of the contract with customers.

iii. Income from Job work is accounted on dispatch of material and as per terms of agreement, which is generally on dispatch of material.

Income from wind turbine generators

Revenue from sale of power from wind operated generators is accounted when the same is transmitted to and confirmed by the Electricity Board to whom the same is sold.

Export benefits:

The benefit accrued under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS), Duty Drawback Scheme as per the Export and Import Policy in respect of exports made under the said Schemes is accounted on an accrual basis and is included under the head “revenue from operations” as ‘Export Incentives’.

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are recognised in the year when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of exports made and are accounted to the extent there is no significant uncertainty about the measurability and ultimate utilization/ realization of such duty credit.

Dividend and Interest income:

Dividend income is recognized when the unconditional right to receive the income is established.

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 to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Sale of Scrap

Revenue from sale of scrap is recognized on sale.

1.11 Employee Benefits: Defined contribution plans:

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to recognized provident funds and approved superannuation schemes which are defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense and charged to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are received from the employees.

Defined benefit plans:

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, and certain other defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefits that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. An unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted.

The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on risk free government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. In case of funded defined benefit plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognize the obligation on net basis.

Retirement and other employee benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, performance incentive, paid annual leave, bonus, leave travel assistance, medical allowance, contribution to provident fund and superannuation etc. recognized as actual amounts due in period in which the employee renders the related services.

i. A retirement benefit in the form of Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contribution to the fund accrues. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the recognized Provident Fund.

ii. A retirement benefits in the form of Superannuation Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contribution is charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contribution accrues. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the Superannuation Fund Trust. The scheme is funded with Insurance Company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.

iii. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year. The Company has established a gratuity trust to provide gratuity benefit through annual contributions to a Gratuity trust which in turn contributes to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Under this plan, the settlement obligation remains with the Gratuity rust. Life Insurance Corporation of India administers the plan and determines the contribution premium required to be paid by the trust.

iv. Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions and the resultant actuarial gains/(losses) are recognized immediately in the statement of other comprehensive income.

1.12 Accounting for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: Provisions:

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

Contingent liabilities:

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 can not be recognized because it can not be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed for:-

(i) Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or

(ii) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can not be made.

Contingent assets:

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.

1.13 Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs worked out are determined on effective interest rate, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, that necessarily take a substantial period to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing cost eligible for capitalization.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

1.14 Leases:

The lease arrangement is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, at the inception of the lease, based on the substance of the lease arrangement.

Finance Leases

A finance lease is recognized as an asset and a liability at the commencement of the lease, at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Initial direct costs, if any,are also capitalized and, subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Operating Leases

Other leases are operating leases,and the leased assets are not recognized on the Company’s Balance Sheet. Payment made under operating leases are generally recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

1.15 Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit/ (loss) from continuing operations and the total profit/ (loss) attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

For calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit/(loss) from continuing operations and the total profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.16 Cash Flow Statement

The Cash Flow Statement is prepared by using the “indirect method” set out in Ind AS 7 on “Cash Flow Statements” and presents the cash flows during the period by operating, investing and financing activities of the Company. Amendment to Ind AS 7 Effective April 1, 2017, the Company adopted the amendment to Ind AS 7, which require the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the Balance Sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement. The adoption of amendment did not have any material impact on the financial statements.

1.17 Segment Reporting

Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

Based on the “management approach” as defined in Ind AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented in the segment reporting. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments.

Based on the above, Business segments of the Company are primarily Laundry and allied products; IT enabled services & BPO services and Wind Turbine Generator. The analysis of Geographic segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company Operate.

The Company accounts for inter segment revenues at current market prices.

Unallocated income and expenses includes general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any segment.

1.18 Government Grants and Subsidies:

i. Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions.

ii. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognized in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

iii. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.

1.19 Dividend:

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the Shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

1.20 Standard issued but not effective

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”), on March 28, 2018, through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 has notified the new standard for revenue recognition and amended certain existing Ind AS which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018.

Ind AS 115- Revenue from Contract with Customers:

Ind AS 115 will supersede the existing revenue recognition standard ‘Ind AS 18 - Revenue’. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

- Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach) - The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018.

The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2018 by using the cumulative catch-up transition method and accordingly comparatives for the year ending or ended March 31, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 is expected to be insignificant.

Ind AS 21 - The effect of changes in Foreign Exchange rates (Appendix B)

The amendment clarifies on the accounting of transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The appendix explains that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration. The amendment will come into force from April 1, 2018.

If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that the previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of amortized historical cost impaired earlier.

VIII INVESTMENTS:

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as Non-current investments. Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other -than-temporary diminution in value, determined separately for each individual investment. The reduction in the carrying amount is reversed when there is a rise in the value of the investment or if the reasons for the reduction no longer exist.

X EMPLOYEE BENEFITS :

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to recognized provident funds and approved superannuation schemes which are defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense and charged to the statement of profit and loss as and when the services are received from the employees.

Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, and certain other defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on risk free government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company's obligations. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. In case of funded defined benefit plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognize the obligation on net basis.

Retirement and other employee benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, and performance incentive paid annual leave, bonus, leave travel assistance, medical allowance, contribution to provident fund and superannuation etc. recognized as actual amounts due in period in which the employee renders the related services.

(i) Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contribution to the fund accrues. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the recognized Provident Fund.

(ii) Retirement benefits in the form of Superannuation Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contribution is charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contribution accrues. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the Superannuation Fund Trust. The scheme is funded with Insurance Company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.

(iii) Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year. During the year, the Company has established a gratuity trust to provide gratuity benefit through annual contributions to a Gratuity trust which in turn contributes to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Under this plan, the settlement obligation remains with the Gratuity trust. Life Insurance Corporation of India administers the plan and determines the contribution premium required to be paid by the trust.

(iv) Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.

(v) Actuarial gains/losses are recognized immediately to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.

XI FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:

Initial recognition:

Foreign currency transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are not translated.

Forward Exchange Contracts:

The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts is amortized as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the year.

XII BORROWING COSTS:

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized for the period until the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

XIII LEASE RENTALS:

The lease arrangement is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease, at the inception of the lease, based on the substance of the lease arrangement.

Finance leases

A finance lease is recognized as an asset and a liability at the commencement of the lease, at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Initial direct costs, if any, are also capitalized and, subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Operating leases

Other leases are operating leases, and the leased assets are not recognized on the Company's balance sheet. Payments made under operating leases are recognized in statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis as per the terms of the lease agreement.

XIV EARNINGS PER SHARE:

XV TAXATION:

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax charge or credit.

Current Tax is determined as the amount of income tax payable to the taxation authorities in respect of taxable income for the period.

Deferred tax charge or credit reflects the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet 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 tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, 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 are written-down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

XVI PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS:

Provisions:

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

Contingent Liability:

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.

V DEPRECIATION :

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided using the straight-line method at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 or based on the useful life of the assets as estimated by Management, whichever is higher. In the case of Computers and Network Equipments acquired for the IT Enabled Services Division, depreciation is computed over the estimated useful life of 4 years.

If suchrecoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of amortized historical cost.

VIII INVESTMENTS:

Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined separately for each individual investment. The reduction in the carrying amount is reversed when there is a rise in the value of the investment or if the reasons for the reduction no longer exist.

Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on risk free government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company''s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Retirement and other employee benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits.

(iv) AccumuLated Leave, which is expected to be utiLized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term empLoyee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additionaL amount that it expects to pay as a resuLt of the unused entitLement that has accumuLated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumuLated Leave expected to be carried forward beyond tweLve months, as Long-term empLoyee benefit for measurement purposes. Such Long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuariaL vaLuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.

InitiaL direct costs, if any, are aLso capitaLized and, subsequent to initiaL recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting poLicy appLicabLe to that asset. Minimum Lease payments made under finance Leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding LiabiLity. The finance expense is aLLocated to each period during the Lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining baLance of the LiabiLity.
