II. Material Accounting Policies
Below is list of material accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.
(a) Basis of Preparation
(i) Statement of Compliance:
These standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended from time to time, notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act’) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The standalone financial statements are approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on April
29, 2026.
(ii) Basis of measurment
The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared on an accrual basis and a historical cost convention, except for items which are measured on an alternative basis on each reporting date:
(a) Derivative Financial instruments measured at FVTPL.
(b) Non derivative financial instruments at FVTPL.
(c) Fair Value of plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, (Refer note 1(II)n for accounting policy).
Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of asset or paid on transfer of 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. Accounting policies and methods of computation followed in the financial statements are same as compared with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, except for adoption of new standard or any pronouncements effective from 1 April 2025
The Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.
Current and non-current classification
Based on the time involved between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle for determining current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.
(b) Use ofjudgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS, which requires management to make estimates, assumptions and exercise judgment in applying the accounting policies that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the year.
(i) Critical estimates
The Management believes that these estimates are prudent and reasonable and are based upon the Management’s best knowledge of current events and actions. Actual results could differ from these estimates and differences between actual results and estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known or materialised.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties at the reporting date that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is included in the following notes:
Useful lives of Property plant and equipment (PPE), investment property and Intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. Depreciation is provided as per the Straight Line Method over the estimated useful lives of assets. The Company depreciates its property, plant and equipment over the useful life in the manner prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. Management believes that useful life of assets are same (except for vehicles as disclosed in note 1(II)d)) as those prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. - Refer note 1(II)(c)(d),(e) and (f).
Defined benefit obligation
The cost of post-employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rate of return on assets, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the long term nature of these plans such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. The assumptions used are disclosed in Note 46.
Fair value measurements of financial instruments
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the standalone balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including Discounted Cash Flow Model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets wherever possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree ofjudgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risks, credit risks and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. - Refer note 1(II)(h).
Revenue from fixed price long term contracts (Flares & Process Equipment)
The Company’s management estimate the cost to complete for each project and recognition of anticipated losses of the projects, if any. In the process of calculating the cost to complete, Management conducts regular and systematic reviews of actual results and future projections with comparison against budget. The process requires monitoring controls including financial and operational controls and identifying major risks faced by the Company and developing and implementing initiative to manage those risks. The Company’s management is confident that the costs to complete the project are fairly estimated.
Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
Determining whether the investments in subsidiaries are impaired requires an estimate in the value in use of investments. The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost (net of impairment,
if any) annually, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for in the statement of profit and loss. In considering the value in use, the management have anticipated the future market conditions and other parameters that affect the operations of these entities.
(ii) Judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements: This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree ofjudgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed.
Provision for income tax and deferred tax assets
The Company uses estimates and judgements based on the relevant rulings in the areas of allocation of revenue, costs, allowances and disallowances which is exercised while determining the provision for income tax. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Accordingly, the Company exercises its judgement to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognised. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Valuation of deferred tax assets / liabilities
The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period. Signifi cant judgment is involved in arriving at the deferred tax assets and liabilities, which is based on the Company’s current operations and projections for the future. - Refer note 1(II)(o).
Assessment of Lease term
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significantjudgment. The Company uses significantjudgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease. The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
(c) Property plant and equipment
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognised as an asset if, and only if 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.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation (other than freehold land) and impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Capitalisation of costs in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment ceases when the item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Incomes and expenses related to the incidental operations not necessary to bring the item to the location and the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss. All other expenses on existing property, plant and equipment, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit & Loss for the period in which such expenses are incurred.
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.
Items of property, plant and equipment that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost of sales and are shown separately in the standalone financial statements. Any expected loss is recognised immediately in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment, which are carried at cost, are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis on the straight-line method based on useful life as estimated by the management and aligned to Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 in order to reflect the actual usage of assets. Depreciation on assets acquired under finance lease is spread over the lease period or useful life, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Capital work-in-progress comprises of property, plant and equipment that are not ready for their intended use at the end of reporting period and are carried at cost comprising direct costs, related incidental expenses, other directly attributable costs and borrowing costs.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of property, plant and equipments are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss under ‘Other expenses’ or ‘Other income’ when the asset is derecognized.
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the assets. The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate. Depreciation is not recorded on capital work-in-progress until construction and installation is complete and the asset is ready for its intended use.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets.
Transition to Ind AS
The cost property, plant and equipment at 1 April 2016, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was determined with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of transition to Ind AS.
(d) Non-current assets classified as assets held for sale:
Non-current assets, or disposal Companys comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets, or disposal Companys, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal Company is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and employee benefit assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the company’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale or held for distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investment properties are no longer amortised or depreciated, and equity- accounted investee is no longer equity accounted. Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale and the assets of a disposal Company classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal Company classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
(e) Intangible Assets (including intangible assets under development)
Initial recognition and measurement
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. An intangible asset is recognised only if it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
Following initial recognition, other intangible assets and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent measurement (amortisation and useful lives)
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortisation period and the amortisation method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the expected useful life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortisation period is changed accordingly. Computer Software, E learning module and website are amortised over a period of three years. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite life is recognised in the Standalone statement of profit and loss under the head Depreciation and amortization expense.
Derecognition
An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from the retirement
or disposal of an intangible asset are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognised as income or expense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Transition to Ind AS
The cost of intangible assets at 1 April 2016, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was determined with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of transition to Ind AS.
(f) Investment properties
Initial recognition and measurement
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the entity, is classified as Investment Property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed, when incurred. When part of an Investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Derecognition
Investment property is derecognised either when it has been disposed of or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss.
Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use. Transfers between investment property, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis on the straight-line method, based on useful life as estimated by the management and aligned to Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 in order to reflect the actual usage of assets.Estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Transition to Ind AS
The cost of investment properties at 1 April 2016, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was determined with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of transition to Ind AS.
(g) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amount of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each Standalone Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal /external factors. An impairment loss is recognised, whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its fair value less disposal cost and its value in use. Impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
After impairment, depreciation / amortisation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation / amortisation, if there were no impairment.
(h) Investments and oxther financial assets
Classification:
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
(i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
(ii) those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in standalone statement of profit and loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model, in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Initial recognition and measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or 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.
However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Subsequent measurements
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset.
There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
(i) 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 recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss, when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
( ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVTOCI). 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 recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to standalone statement of profit or loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
(iii) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss and presented net in the standalone statement of profit and loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Impairment of financial assets
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
i) Trade receivables;
ii) Financial assets measured at amortised cost (other than trade receivables).
In case of trade receivables, the Company follows a simplified approach wherein an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. Further, individual credit risk assessment is also undertaken by the Company to identify significant increase in credit risk or is credit impaired. Basis such individual credit risk assessment, a Company may provide for a loss allowance.
Financial assets classified as amortised cost (refer (ii) above), subsequent to initial recognition, are assessed for evidence of impairment at end of each reporting period basis monitoring of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding looking information. If the credit risk of such assets has not increased significantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured and recognised as loss allowance. Subsequently, if the credit quality of the financial asset improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL. ECL allowance recognised (or reversed) during the period is recognised as expense (or income) in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss under the head ‘Other expenses’.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
- a breach of contract such as a default;
- it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
Write - off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.
De-recognition of financial assets:
The Company derecognises 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 either
- substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred;or
- the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of the cash on hand and at bank and current investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, balances with bank which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage and short-term deposits as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. For this purpose, “short-term” means investments having original maturities of three months or less from the date of investment.
(j) Borrowings and other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortised cost (Borrowings and payables), as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and borrowings including bank overdrafts.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss;
ii) Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS
109.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied.
Financial Liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as “Finance Costs” in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to interest bearing borrowings.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instrument
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
(k) Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the ‘average cost’ method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw material, packing materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses
(l) Revenue recognition
(A) Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and discounts, goods and service tax and applicable taxes, which are collected on behalf of the government or on behalf of third parties.
i) Sale of welding product
Revenue from contracts with customers involving sale of goods is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods has been transferred at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods, and there are no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products and the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold. The point of time of transfer of control to customers depends on the terms of the trade such as:
Free on Board (FoB) - At the time of loading on carriage. Transfer of control happens when the goods are loaded onboard the vessel at the port of shipment.
Cost, Insurance & Freight (CIF) - Transfer of control happens when goods arrive at port of destination.
Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) - Transfer of control happens at named place when the goods are ready for unloading.
ii) Revenue from fixed price long term contracts (Flares & Process Equipment)
Performance obligation in case of revenue from long - term contracts is satisfied over the period of time and the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of output method as mentioned in IND AS 115. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, and costs incurred to fulfil a contract are amortised over the period of execution of the contract. In the event that a loss is anticipated on a particular contract, provision is made for the estimated loss. The Company monitors estimates of total contract revenue and costs on a regular basis throughout the contract period. The cumulative impact of any change in estimates of the contract value or cost is reflected in the period in which the changes become known.
iii) Sale of services
Revenue from services is recognised when the services are rendered in accordance with the specific terms of contract and when collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
iv) Right to recover the product
When a contract provides a customer with a right to recover the products within a specified period, the Company estimates the expected returns using a historical experience similar to the expected value method under Ind AS 115.
At the point of sale, a refund liability and a corresponding adjustment to revenue is recognised for those products expected to be returned. At the same time, the Company has a right to recover the product when customers exercise their right of return. Consequently, the Company recognises a right to recover the products as asset under inventories as (Right to recover returned good) and a corresponding adjustment to cost of materials consumed. The Company uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the percentage of returns at plant level using the expected value method. It is considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will not occur given the consistent level of returns over previous years. The Company updates its estimates of provision for sales return (and the corresponding change in the transaction price) at the start of each reporting period. For goods expected to be returned, the Company presented a refund liability (under Provisions) and an asset for the right to recover returned good (under inventories) from a customer separately in the balance sheet.
v) Contract Assets and Liability
Contract asset is the entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to the customer. A contract asset becomes a receivable when the entity’s right to consideration is unconditional, which is the case when only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due.
Contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract. The timing of the transfer of control varies depending on individual terms of the sales agreements.
(B) Other operating revenue Export Incentive
Duty drawback and Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products (RoDTEP) is accounted when reasonable assurance to receive such revenue is established and the Company has complied with the conditions associated with the incentive scheme.
(m) Other income
Interest income for all debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest 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. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
(n) Employee Benefits
Provident fund: Contribution towards provident fund for employees is made to the regulatory authorities, where the Company has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes, as the Company does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis.
Gratuity fund: The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment.
The Company’s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. Actuarial gains / losses arising on the measurement of defined benefit obligation are credited / charged to other comprehensive income.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (‘past service cost’ or ‘past service gain’) or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
Superannuation fund: Contribution towards superannuation fund for certain employees is made to Ador Welding Employees Superannuation Fund Trust administered by the Company. The benefit is classified as a “Defined Contribution Schemes” as the Company does not carry any further obligation, apart from the contribution made on a monthly basis.
Employees state insurance scheme: The Company makes contribution to state plans namely Employees State Insurance Scheme and has no further obligation beyond making the payment to them.
Compensated absences: Accumulated absences expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months is treated as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. The Company’s net obligation in respect of other long-term employee benefit of accumulating compensated absences is the amount of future benefit that employees have accumulated at the end of the year. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value The obligation is measured annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the Company does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer the settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date
Termination benefits: Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
(o) Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax expenses and net change in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the Standalone Statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to item that are recognised in Other comprehensive income or directly in Equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in Other comprehensive income or directly in Equity respectively.
(i) Current tax
The current income tax includes income tax payable by the Company, computed in accordance with the tax laws applicable in the jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Advance tax and provision for current income tax are presented in the Balance sheet after offsetting the advance tax paid and income tax provision arising in the same jurisdiction and where the relevant tax paying units intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount, except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of recognition and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are 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 or part of deferred income tax assets to be utilised. At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
(p) Leases (as a Lessee):
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for leashold land, ownership premises and computers. The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A
contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset;
(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short term leases) and leases of low value assets. For these short term and leases of low value assets, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. A lease liability is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the lease term or a change in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The remeasurement normally also adjusts the leased assets.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Standalone Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
(q) Foreign currency transactions
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Indian rupee.
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the Balance sheet date and exchange gain or loss arising on settlement and restatement are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.
