2A SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES :
The Company has applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in the Ind AS financial statements.
a) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts
collected on behalf of third parties including taxes. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised
products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for
those products or services.
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 all significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods
have passed to the buyer, which generally coincides with delivery. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at
the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and
volume rebates. Export Sales are accounted for on the basis of date of bill of lading. Gross Sales include excise
duty, adjustments for price variation, quality claims, liquidated damages and exchange rate variations related to
export realization. Export Benefits is accounted on accrual basis.
Rendering of Services
Revenue from sale of services is recognised upon the rendering of services and is recognised net of GST.
Interest income
Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss. Interest income is recognised on a
time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate when there is a
reasonable certainty as to realisation.
b) Property, plant and equipment
The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non¬
refundable purchase taxes, attributable borrowing cost and any other directly attributable costs of bringing an asset
to working condition and location for its intended use.
Expenditure incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and
maintenance, are normally charged to the statements of profit and loss in the period in which the costs are incurred.
Major inspection and overall expenditure is capitalized if the recognition criteria are met.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates
them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed and overall
cost is incurred, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the
recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit
and loss as incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss, when the asset is derecognised.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
(i) Capital work in progress
Assets in the course of construction are capitalized in capital work in progress account. At the point when an
asset is capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the cost of construction is transferred to
the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment. Costs associated with the commissioning of an
asset are capitalised when the asset is available for use but incapable of operating at normal levels until the
period of commissioning has been completed. Revenue generated from production during the trial period is
credited to capital work in progress.
(ii) Depreciation
Assets in the course of development or construction and freehold land are not depreciated.
Other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any provision for
impairment. Depreciation commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation is calculated on the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset less its residual value.
Pursuant to the enactment of the Companies Act,2013(“the Act”) and its applicability for accounting periods
commencing from April 1, 2014 the company has, wherever required reassessed the useful life of its fixed
assets and has computed depreciation with reference to the useful life of the assets as recommended in
schedule II of the Act. However as per the valuation report dated 20th January 2015 in case of Atgaon plant
Assets& as per the valuation report dated 5th May 2017 & 14th May 2018 in case of Chalisgaon Plant Assets,
both certified by Chartered Engineer useful life of the some of the assets have been assessed as ranging
between 25 and 60 years which is different than the life prescribed under schedule II of the Act and
depreciation is computed accordingly.
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life
prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act,2013, except for Tangible Assets for which certificate of the
useful life is taken from the competent person in that field.
Individual items of assets costing upto Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of respective leases or useful life
whichever is shorter.
The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the
period over which the assets are likely to be used.
Major inspection and overall costs are depreciated over the estimated life of the economic benefit derived from
such cost. The carrying amount of the remaining previous overhaul cost is charged to the statement of profit and
loss ifthe next overhaul is undertaken earlier than the previously estimated life ofthe economic benefit.
When significant spare parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
c) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The Company has intangible assets with finite useful lives.
Intangible assets (computer software) are amortised on straight-line method at the rates determined based on
estimated useful lives of 10 years.
d) Foreign currencies
In the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are
translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in other currencies are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates
prevailing on the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies and
measured at historical cost or fair value are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates on which such
values were determined.
The Company has applied paragraph 46A of AS 11 under Indian GAAP. Ind AS 101 gives an option, which has
been exercised by the Company, whereby a first time adopter can continue its Indian GAAP policy for accounting
for exchange differences arising from translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items recognised in the
Indian GAAP financial statements for the period ending immediately before the beginning of the first Ind AS
financial reporting period. Hence, foreign exchange gain/loss on long-term foreign currency monetary items
recognized upto 31st March, 2017 has been capitalized. Such exchange differences arising on
translation/settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items and pertaining to the acquisition of a
depreciable asset are amortised over the remaining useful lives ofthe assets.
e) Government grants
Government grants are credited to profit & loss account on an accrual basis.
f) Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised either in other
comprehensive income or in equity. Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction
either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with
respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions
where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities
are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except when it is probable that the temporary differences will
not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits
and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable 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 utilized.
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 recognised to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised either in other
comprehensive income or 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.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the
form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the
Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is
probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
g) Borrowing costs
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. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest
and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes
exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
h) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement
at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent
on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that
right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
For arrangements entered into prior to 1 April 2016, the Company has determined whether the arrangement
contains lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing on the date of transition.
Company as a lessee
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially
all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease.
Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased
property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned
between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit and
loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with
the Company's general policy on the borrowing costs.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the
Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the
estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
i) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
• Raw materials and packing materials, Stores and spares parts and loose tools: These are valued at lower of cost
and net realisable value. However, material and other items held for use in production of inventories are not
written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or
above cost. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.
• Finished goods and work in progress: These are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes
cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating
capacity. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.
• Stock-in-trade: These are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and
other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on
weighted average basis.
• Scrap: These are valued at net realisable value.
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.
Obsolete inventories are identified and written down to net realisable value. Slow moving and defective
inventories are identified and provided to net realisable value.
j) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's
recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair
value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless
the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the statement
of profit and loss.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously
recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company with the
help ofthe valuer estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount.
A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to
determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so
that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior
years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
