Accounting Policies of Virat Industries Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2018

1.1 Statement of Compliance and Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended. The financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the relevant presentation requirements of the Companies Act, 2013. The Company adopted Ind AS from 1st April, 2017.

Up to the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous GAAP, which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These are the Company’s first Ind AS financial statements.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain items that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) which is also the Company’s functional currency.

Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

* Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

* Level 2 inputs are significant inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

* Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

1.2 Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period; they are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key estimates and assumptions are set out in the accounting policies below, together with the related notes to the accounts. Significant items include:

- The Company has ongoing litigations with various revenue authorities and third parties. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management’s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such accruals are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty.

- The determination of Company’s liability towards defined benefit obligation to employees is made through independent actuarial valuation including determination of amounts to be recognized in the income statement and in other comprehensive income. Such valuation depend upon assumptions determined after taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand factors in the employment market.

- The depreciation charge on tangible property plant and equipment is determined based on useful lives of such assets. The Company is required to determine the useful life/period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by the Company.

1.3 Operating Cycle

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 Companies Act, 2013 based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. Accordingly the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent.

1.4 First Time Adoption of Ind AS

The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of 1st April, 2016 (the transition date) by recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in measurement of recognised assets and liabilities. However, this principle is subject to the certain exception and certain optional exemptions availed by the Company as detailed In Note No. 41.

1.5 Inventories:

Inventories comprise all costs of purchase, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to its present location and condition.

Raw material is valued at lower of cost and net realisable value Cost is determined on the method of weighted average basis.

Finished goods and work in progress are carried at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs for completion and sale.Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty.

Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are identified at the time of periodic physical verification of inventories and, where necessary, a markdown is made for such inventories.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.7 Property Plant and Equipment - Tangible Assets

Property, plant & equipments are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any.

Cost is inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses related to acquisition. In respect of major projects involving construction, related pre-operational expenses form part of the value of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised also include applicable borrowing costs for qualifying assets, if any. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be realized. The carrying amount of a replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of Profit & Loss.

Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use which is generally on commissioning. Items of Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated in a manner that amortises the cost of the assets after commissioning (or other amount substituted for cost), less its residual value, over their useful lives as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 on a straight line basis.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

Property, plant and equipment’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, at each balance sheet date.

1.8 Impairment of Assets

The carrying value of assets/cash generating unit at each balance sheet date is reviewed for impairment. The company determines whether a provision should be made for impairment loss on assets by considering the indication that an impairment loss may have occurred in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 36 “Impairment of Assets”. Where the recoverable amount of any assets is lower than its carrying amount in accordance with Ind AS 36, a provision for impairment loss on fixed assets is made for the difference. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows expected to avail from continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.

Where there is an indication that the impairment was recognised in an earlier accounting period no longer exits or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment lost is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

1.9 Leases

Leases are recognised as a finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Company as a Lessee

Assets used under finance leases are recognized as property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet for an amount that corresponds to the lower of fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments determined at the inception of the lease and a liability is recognised for an equivalent amount.

The minimum lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

Company as a Lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Where the company is a lessor under an operating lease, the asset is capitalised within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over its useful economic life. Payments received under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

1.10 Borrowing Cost:

Borrowing cost, if any, that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.11 Foreign Currency Transactions:

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is the presentational currency of the Company. The Company account for transactions in foreign currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transactions. Gains/Losses arising on settlement of such transactions as also the translation of monetary items at period ends due to fluctuations in the exchange rates are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non - monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date and not retranslated at closing rates.

1.12 Employee Benefits:

The Company makes contributions to both defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. Certain defined benefit plans are administered through duly constituted and approved Trusts.

For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes.

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated leave for which the Company records the liability based on actuarial valuation computed under projected unit credit method. These benefits are unfunded.

1.13 Revenue Recognition:

Revenue is recognised at fair value of amounts received and receivable from third parties for goods supplied and services rendered and is net off returns and discounts if any.

Revenue from the sale of goods includes excise and other duties which the Company pays as principal but excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales tax and value added tax and goods and services tax.

Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised in the income statement when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer, which is mainly upon shipment. Revenue from service are recognised in the period in which services are rendered.

Discounts include sales rebates, price discounts, customer incentives, certain promotional activities and similar items. The methodology and assumptions used to estimate sales rebates, price discounts, customer incentives, certain promotional activities and similar items are monitored and adjusted regularly in the light of contractual and legal obligations, historical trends, past experience and projected market conditions.

Other Income Operating Income

Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.

1.14 Other Income

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term financial assets, when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Effective interest method:

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period. Income and expense is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial instruments “at fair value through income statement”.

1.15 Taxes on Income

Taxes on income comprises of current taxes and deferred taxes. Current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss is provided as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the period using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted during the period, together with any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Income tax, in so far as it relates to items disclosed under Other Comprehensive Income or Equity, are disclosed separately under Other Comprehensive Income or Equity, as applicable.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the future tax consequences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

1.16 Investments and Other Financial Assets Classification

The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The financial assets are classified in the following measurement categories as:

* those to be subsequently measured at fair value [either through other comprehensive income (OCI), or through profit or loss], and

* those subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The classification of debt instruments is based on the business model and terms of the contractual cash flows. Reclassification of debt instrument, if any, is done when the business model for managing those assets change.

Classification of equity instruments, not being investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through OCI or fair value through profit or loss.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, in the case of a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss, the transaction costs are expensed immediately in statement of profit or loss. Subsequent measurement of financial assets is determined by their respective classification.

Debt Instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments is in accordance with the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flows characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the company may classify its debt instruments:

* Amortised Cost: Assets which are held within the business model of collection of contractual cash flows and where those cash flows represent payments solely towards principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is measured at amortised cost and is not a part of hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method.

* Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income: Assets that are held within a business model of collection of contractual cash flows and for selling and where the assets’ cash flow represents solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Movements in carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest income which are recognized in profit or loss. Interest income from these assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method. When the asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to statement of profit or loss.

* Fair Value through Profit or Loss: Financial assets which are not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as fair value through profit or loss. Movements in fair value of these assets are taken in profit or loss.

Equity Instruments

Equity instruments which are not investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint operations are measured at fair value. At the time of initial recognition, the Company makes an irrecoverable election for classification of an equity investment as fair value through profit or loss or fair value through OCI.

Movement in fair value of equity investments which are classified as fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gains and losses in the statement of profit or loss.

Where the Company has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, the movement in fair value is recognized in OCI. At time of derecognition, there is no subsequent reclassification of cumulative fair value gains and losses recognized in OCI to statement of profit or loss. The cumulative gains or losses recognized in OCI is transferred within equity on such derecognition. Impairment losses (and reversals thereto) on equity investments measured at FVTOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non - derivative financial asset with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Trade receivables and loans are initially measured at transaction value, which is the fair value and subsequently retained at cost less appropriate allowance for credit losses as most loans and receivables of the Company are current in nature. Where significant, non -current loans and receivables are accounted for at amortised cost using effective interest rate method less appropriate allowance for credit losses. Interest is accounted for on the basis of contractual terms, where applicable and is included in interest income.

Impairment of financial assets

The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its investments in debt instruments which are carried at amortised cost and FVTOCI. Impairment losses are recognized in the profit or loss where there is an objective evidence of impairment, such as where the issuer is in default or other significant financial difficulty. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and provision is made on an item by item basis. For such assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. Depending on product categories and the payment mechanism prevailing in the industry, provisions for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the due amounts. If in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss reduces, the previously recognized loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.

Income recognition

Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss as other income only when the Company’s right to receive payments is established and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

Financial Liability and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value of consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost unless they fulfill the requirement of measurement at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities depends upon whether they have been classified at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Where the financial liability has been measured at amortised cost, the difference between the initial carrying amount of the financial liabilities and their redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the contractual terms using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the finance income or finance cost in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.17 Provision and Contingencies

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and 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 (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the 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 liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements.

1.18 Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gains/losses is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.

To comply with the principles of ‘fair value hedge’, ‘cash flow hedge’ or ‘hedges of net investments in foreign operations’ where derivative contracts are designated as hedge instruments, depending upon documented risk management objective and hedge relationship established at inception and which are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

Embedded Derivatives

Derivatives embedded in non - derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of IndAS 109 “Financial Instruments” are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

1.19 Operating Segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Corporate Management Committee.

Segments are organized based on business which have similar economic characteristics as well as exhibit similarities in nature of products and services offered, the nature of production processes, the type and class of customer and distribution methods. The CODM reviews the segments primarily from a business similarity perspective as well as from a geographic perspective.

Segment revenue is reported on the same basis as revenue in the financial statements. Segment results represents profits before finance charges, investment income and taxes. Inter-segment revenue is accounted for on the basis of transactions which are primarily market led.

“Unallocated Corporate Expenses” revenue and expenses relate to initiatives/costs attributable to the enterprise as a whole and are not attributable to segments.

1.20 Dividend Distribution

To recognised Dividends paid (including income tax thereon) in the financial statements in the period in which the related dividends are actually paid or, in respect of the Company’s final dividend for the year, when the same are approved by shareholders.

The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year.

2.2 Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognized in the periods in which the results are known / materialize.

2.3 Inventories:

Inventories comprise all costs of purchase, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to its present location and condition.

Raw material is valued at lower of cost and net realizable value cost is determined on the method of weighted average basis.

Finished goods and work in progress are carried at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty.

Stores and spares, other than obsolute and slow moving items are valued at cost or estimated net realisable value, whichever is lower.

2.4 Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.5 Cash flow statement:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

2.6 Property, Plant and Equipments:

Tangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortization and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use.

Depreciation:

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of all assets. The lives are in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Leasehold land is amortized over the duration of lease.

2.7 Other income:

Interest income is accounted on accrual basis.

2.8 Export Incentives:

Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.

2.9 Impairment:

The carrying value of assets/cash generating unit at each balance sheet date is reviewed for impairment. The Company determines whether a provision should be made for impairment loss on assets by considering the indication that an impairment loss may have occurred in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 "Impairment of Assets". Where the recoverable amount of any assets is lower than its carrying amount in accordance with AS 28, a provision for impairment loss on fixed assets is made for the difference. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows expected to avail from continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.

Where there is an indication that the impairment was recognized in an earlier accounting period no longer exits or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment lost is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

2.10 Leases:

(a) Assets leased by the Company in its capacity as a lessee, where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership vest in the Company are classified as finance leases. Such leases are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each year.

(b) Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognized as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.11 Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of paid up equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of paid up equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares.

2.12 Borrowing Cost:

Borrowing cost, if any, that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes.

c) Other Benefits:

The Company''s liability towards provision for Compensated Absences is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation being carried out at each Balance Sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Balance Sheet represents the total of present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by unrecognized past service cost.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss in the period of occurrence of such gains and losses.

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for timing differences of items other than unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realized. However, if there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses and items relating to capital losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realize the assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their reliability.

Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognized in reserves are recognized in reserves and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Tax on distributed profits payable in accordance with the provision of Income Tax Act, 1961 is disclosed in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Corporate Dividend Tax issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
