All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way of purchase and sale of financial assets are recognized on the trade date.
(ii) Subsequent Measurement
A. Non-Derivative Financial Instrument
(a) Financial Assets Carried at Amortized Cost
A financial asset 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.
(b) Financial Assets at 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.
The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. Further, in cases where the Company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(c) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(d) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. 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.
B. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.
Financial Assets or Liabilities, at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
This category has derivative financial assets or liabilities which are not designated as hedges. Although the Company believes that these derivatives constitute hedges from an economic perspective, they may not qualify for hedge accounting under IND AS 109, Financial Instruments. Any derivative that is either not designated as hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per IND AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss.
Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss and the resulting exchange gains or losses are included in other income. Assets / liabilities in this category are presented as current assets / liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
C. De-Recognition of Financial Instruments
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual right to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expires or it transfers the financial asset.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.
2.7 Current versus Non-Current Classification
An asset is considered as current when it is:
• expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
• held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• expected to be realized 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 considered as current when it is:
• expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
• held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• 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.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities respectively.
2.8 Measurement of Fair Value
Fair value is the price that would be received on sell of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• in the principal market for the asset or liability; or
• in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Standalone financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
• Level 3 - Input for the asset or liability those are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
2.9 Investments and Other Financial Assets Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through Other Comprehensive Income, or through the Statement of Profit and Loss), and
• Those measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets are expensed out in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company measures the expected credit loss associated with its assets based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates or any other appropriate basis. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
2.10 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, discounts, GST and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities as described below:
Sale of Goods
Sales are recognized when substantial risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to customers. In case of domestic customer, generally sales take place when goods are dispatched or delivery is handed over to transporter. In case of export customers, generally sales take place when goods are shipped on board based on bill of lading.
Other Operating Revenue
Export Incentives under various schemes are accounted in the year in which right to receive is irrevocably established.
OtherRevenue
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable rate of interest.
Revenue in respect of insurance / other claims etc. is recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.
Dividend
Dividends are generally recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive payment is established.
2.11 Foreign Currency Transactions
The Standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. All monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the Balance Sheet. All exchange differences other than those relating to the acquisition of fixed assets from outside India are dealt with in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Exchange gain or loss relating to fixed assets acquired from outside India is adjusted in the cost of respective fixed assets. All non-monetary items are measured at historical cost basis.
In case of forward contracts, the gain / loss on contracts are treated as periodical expense or revenue. Any profit or loss arising on the cancellation or renewal of a forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense for the year, except in case of a forward exchange contract relating to liabilities incurred for acquiring fixed assets from outside India, in which case, such profit or loss is adjusted in the cost of fixed assets.
Exchange difference is calculated as the difference between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.
2.12 Income Tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
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 amount in the Standalone financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, only if, it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In that case, the tax is also recognized in
Minimum Alternate Tax credit is recognized as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
