This note provides a list of all Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial
statements. These policies have been consistently adopted to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Compliance with IND AS
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting standards (IND AS) under the
historical cost convention on accrual basis, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (the Act) (to
the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The IND AS are
prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
The Company has adopted the IND AS Standards and the adoption was carried out in accordance with IND AS.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it is:
* Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
* Held primarily for the purpose of the trading,
* Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
*Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when:
*it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
*it is held primarily for the purpose of the trading,
*it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
*there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate
asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the
reporting period in which they are incurred. Any item of assets initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal
or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The assetâs residual values, useful life
and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively.
An Intangible asset is recognized when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are
attributable to the asset will flow to the Company; and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Accounting
softwares are being recognized under office machinery and have not been separately disclosed under Intangible
Assets due to non-significant value.
To classify any asset or disposal groups (comprising assets and liabilities) as âAsset/Disposal groups held for
Saleâ they must be available for immediate sale and its sale must be highly probable as on reporting date. Once
classified as held for sale, assets are no longer amortized or depreciated.
Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is calculated using the written down value method to allocate their cost, net of residual values, over
their estimated useful lives of the assets as prescribed under schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The management has estimated the following useful lives of assets:
The assetsâ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period. Assets costing not more than Rs. 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of their acquisition.
An assetsâ carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assetâs carrying amount
is greater than its estimated recoverable values.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in
profit or loss within gains / (losses).
The Company has rent agreements for some of the rental premises. The Company has been assessing each of its
leases at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease is finance lease if it transferred
substantially risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the Company; otherwise it is an
operating lease.
On application of Accounting Standard Ind As 116 with effect from April 1, 2019, the Company had assessed
impact on the financial positions for various existing operating leases. The most significant effects of the new
standard on the Company relates to the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of
an identified asset, the Company assess whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, (2) the
Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset over the period of the lease, and
(3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
For short-term leases and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease arrangements include options to extend or terminate the
lease before the end of the lease term. Right- of -Use assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is
reasonable certain that they will be exercised.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of traded goods include cost of purchases
and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition after deducting rebates
and discounts. Cost is determined on weighted average method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short¬
term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in
value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
The statement of cash flows is prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) - 7
âStatement of Cash flowsâ using the indirect method for operating activities.

An Intangible asset is recognized when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company; and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Accounting softwares are being recognized under office machinery and have not been separately disclosed under Intangible Assets due to non-significant value.
To classify any asset or disposal groups (comprising assets and liabilities) as âAsset/Disposal groups held for Saleâ they must be available for immediate sale and its sale must be highly probable as on reporting date. Once classified as held for sale, assets are no longer amortized or depreciated.

An assetsâ carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assetâs carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable values.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within gains / (losses).
(d) Leases:
The Company has rent agreements for some of the rental premises. The Company has been assessing each of its leases at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease is finance lease if it transferred substantially risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the Company; otherwise it is an operating lease.
On application of Accounting Standard Ind As 116 with effect from April 1, 2019, the Company had assessed impact on the financial positions for various existing operating leases. The most significant effects of the new standard on the Company relates to the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities.

To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assess whether: (1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, (2) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset over the period of the lease, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
For short-term leases and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease arrangements include options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. Right- of -Use assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonable certain that they will be exercised.
(e) Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of traded goods include cost of purchases and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition after deducting rebates and discounts. Cost is determined on weighted average method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents:
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposit with banks. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
(g) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
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 recognised as a finance cost.
A contingent liability is disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits has become probable.
A contingent asset is not recognized but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the entity.
(h) Income tax:
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current periodâs taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the country where the Company operate and generate taxable income. Management evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only will if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(i) Revenue recognition:
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
However, good & service tax (GST)/ value added tax (VAT) is not received by the group on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue. The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, discounts, allowances and rebates.
Rendering of services
Service revenues are recognised as the services are rendered and are stated at net of discounts and taxes. Revenues from prepaid- customers are recognized based on actual usage. When the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the bank interest rates which are considered to be effective rate of interest. The effective rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. While calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (For example prepayments, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividends
Revenue is recognized when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
(j) Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(k) Employee benefits:
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employeesâ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current benefit obligations in the Balance sheet.
(ii) Other long term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees upto the end of the reporting period using the projected unit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Post-employment obligations
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuary using the projected unit credit method, is funded with Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Re measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Defined contributions plan
The Companyâs contributions to provident fund and superannuation fund are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.
Bonus plans
The Company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonus. The Company recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
(l) Earnings per share:
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
(m) Financial instruments:
(i) Measurement
An initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of financial asset not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
For the purpose of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in three broad categories :-
*Amortised cost: A debt instrument is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
*Fair value through other comprehensive income: A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it 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.
*Fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities : Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
(ii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ELC.
For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 months 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 profit or loss.
(iii) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognized when:
(a) The contractual right to receive cash flows from the assets have expired, or
(b) The Company has transferred its right to receive cash flow from the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
(n) 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. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
(o) Trade payables:
The amount represents liabilities for services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured non-interest bearings and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized at amortised cost, and the carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value.
(p) Equity instruments:
Investment in associate is accounted for at its acquisition cost.
Transition to IND AS
IND AS 101 allows an entity to continue with the carrying value of investment in associate at cost as at the date of transition to IND AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.
The Company has elected to apply this exemption for its investment in associate.
(q) Rounding off amounts:
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
Note 3: Accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments:
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates, which by definition, will seldom equal the actual results, also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Companyâs accounting policies, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, if any. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes of assets and liabilities affected in future periods.
The area involving critical estimate or judgment is
-Recognition of deferred tax assets for carried forward losses - Note 6 -Impairment of trade receivables - Note 5(b)
- Estimation of tax expense - Note 21
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
There are no sources of estimation uncertainty that may have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods, and also there are no significant judgments that may require disclosures.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Transition and IND AS
On transition to IND AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment recognized as at 1st April,2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is calculated using the written down value method to allocate their cost, net of residual values, over their estimated useful lives of the assets as prescribed under schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The assetsâ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An assetâs carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assetâs carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable values.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within gains / (losses).
(d) Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of traded goods include cost of purchases and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition after deducting rebates and discounts. Cost is determined on weighted average method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents:
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposit with banks. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
(f) Provisions:
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
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 recognised as a finance cost.
A contingent liability is disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits has become probable.
A contingent asset is not recognized but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the entity.
(g) Income tax:
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current periodâs taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the country where the company operate and generate taxable income .Management evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only will if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(h) Revenue recognition:
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
However, good and service tax (GST)/value added tax (VAT) is not received by the group on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue. The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, discounts, allowances and rebates.
Rendering of services
Service revenues are recognised as the services are rendered and are stated at net of discounts and taxes. Revenues from prepaid- customers are recognized based on actual usage. When the contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the bank interest rates which are considered to be effective rate of interest. The effective rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. While calculating the effective interest rate ,the company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (For example prepayments, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividends
Revenue is recognized when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
(i) Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(j) Employee benefits:
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employeesâ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current benefit obligations in the Balance sheet.
(ii) Other long term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees upto the end of the reporting period using the projected unit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Post-employment obligations
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuary using the projected unit credit method, is funded with Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Re measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Defined contributions plan
The companyâs contributions to provident fund and superannuation fund are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. The company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.
Bonus plans
The company recognizes a liability and an expense for bonus. The company recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
(k) Earnings per share:
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
(l) Financial instruments:
(i) Measurement
An initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of financial asset not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Companyâs business model for managing the asset and cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
*Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit and loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
*Fair value through other comprehensive income(FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI ,except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit and loss and recognized in other gains/(losses) Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate.
*Fair value through profit or loss : Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and loss within other gain/(losses)in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
(ii) Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with IND-AS 109, the company applies expected credit loss (ECL) mode for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures.
Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g. loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance. Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
The Company follows simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its recognition.
(iii) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients. When the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
(m) 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. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counter party.
(n) Trade payables:
The amount represents liabilities for services provided to the Company prior to the end of the period which are unpaid .The amounts are unsecured non-interest bearings and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. Trade payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized at amortised cost, and the carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair value.
(o) Equity instruments:
Investment in associate is accounted for at its acquisition cost.
Transition to IND AS
IND AS 101 allows an entity to continue with the carrying value of investment in associate at cost as at the date of transition to IND AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.
The company has elected to apply this exemption for its investment in associate.
(p) Rounding off amounts:
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
