1.1 Basis of preparation
a. Statement of Compliance
The standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act') read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, (as amended) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Act, as applicable to the preparation of standalone financial statements.
These standalone financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company on May 6, 2026. The revision to standalone financial statements is permitted by Board of Directors after obtaining necessary approvals or at the instance of regulatory authorities as per provisions of the Act.
b. Basis of measurement
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India. The standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments and Net defined benefit (asset)/ liability which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as further explained in the accounting policies below.
c. Functional and presentation currency
The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (‘I') which is also the functional and presentation currency of the Company. All values are rounded off to the nearest lakhs, except when otherwise indicated.
d. Use of estimates
The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management
to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities. The effect of change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively. Please refer to 2.3 for details of significant judgments, estimates and assumptions.
e. Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116, ‘Leases', and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2, ‘Inventories', or value in use in Ind AS 36,‘Impairment of assets'. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques have been disclosed in note 2.2(s)(xi).
f. Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ noncurrent classification.
An asset is treated 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 current when:
• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
• It is held primarily for the purpose of 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
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets/liabilities are classified as noncurrent.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has evaluated and considered its operating cycle as below and has accordingly classified its assets and liabilities into current and non-current:
• Residential/ commercial/mixed use projects for real estate development period ranging upto 5 years
• Leasing business: 1 Year
Assets and liabilities relating to such projects/ business segments are classified as current based on an operating cycle as defined above. All other assets and liabilities are classified as current to the extent they are expected to be realized/ are contractually payable within 12 months from the Balance Sheet date, and non-current, in other cases.
1.2 Summary of material accounting policy information
(a) Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and initial measurement:
Property, plant and equipment at their initial recognition are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises its purchase price, borrowing costs (if capitalization criteria are met), import duties, non-refundable taxes and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Trade discounts and rebates, if any are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. The Company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part have a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs (if capitalization criteria are met) and any other costs directly attributable
to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use.
Costs of assets not ready for use at the balance sheet date are disclosed under capital work- in- progress.
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.
Subsequent measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any. 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.
Subsequent expenditure
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 its previously assessed standard of performance and cost can be measured reliably. 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 statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
Derecognition
An item of Property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is de-recognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the Property, plant and equipment is de-recognized.
Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind-AS, the Company had elected to continue with carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment measured under the erstwhile Indian GAAP, as the deemed cost under Ind-AS.
(b) Investment property
Recognition and initial measurement
Investment property is property exclusively held by the Company to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both and it predominantly generates cash flows independent of the other assets held by the Company. Investment property is not held for sale in the ordinary course of the business or for
the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.
Fair value disclosure
Though the Company measures investment property using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer.
Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind-AS, the Company had elected to continue with carrying value of all its investment properties as measured under the erstwhile Indian GAAP, as the deemed cost under Ind-AS.
(c) Depreciation - Property, plant and equipment and Investment property
Depreciation is calculated on written down value basis, except for lease hold land, using the useful lives as estimated by management, which are equal to those prescribed under Schedule II to the Act, except project specific assets estimated to have lower useful lives basis technical evaluation and planning usage thereof:
use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties and Investment Property Under Development are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost, if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. The cost also includes the cost of replacing parts for longterm construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.
The cost of a self-constructed item of Investment property comprises the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs (if capitalization criteria are met) and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Derecognition
I nvestment properties are de-recognized when the entity transfers control of the same to the buyer. Further the entity also derecognises investment properties when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.
Transfer from / to investment property
Transfers are made to (or from) investment properties only when there is a change in use. Transfers between
(a) investment property, (b) property, plant and equipment used in the ordinary course of the business and (c) inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change

Lease hold land Lease period
[Straight Line Method]
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment and investment property are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight-line basis over the balance period of lease.
Freehold land is not depreciated and is stated at cost less impairment loss, if any.
(d) Leases
The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under Ind AS 116.
Where the Company is lessee: The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves -
(a) the use of an identified asset,
(b) the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and
(c) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
The Company at the inception of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term) and low-value assets. The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets.
For lease liabilities at inception, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.
The Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in the statement of profit and loss.
For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease payments have been classified as cash used in Financing activities.
Where the Company is lessor: Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included under Investment property.
Lease income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease including lease income on fair value of refundable security deposits. Costs, including depreciation, are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.
(e) 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 and construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized/ inventorised as part of the cost of the respective asset. Capitalisation commences when the Company: (1) incurs expenditure for the asset; (2) incurs borrowing costs; and (3) undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to statement of profit and loss.
The Company treats as part of general borrowings any borrowings originally made to develop a qualifying asset when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
The interest capitalised is calculated using the Company's weighted average cost of borrowings after adjusting for borrowings associated with specific developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalised is the gross interest incurred on those borrowings less any investment income arising on their temporary investment. Interest is capitalised from the commencement of the development work until the date of practical completion, i.e., when substantially all of the development work is completed. The capitalisation of finance costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted.
(f) Inventories
I nventories comprises of construction material (raw material), land stock (representing land acquired for a construction project and / or land development rights under joint development arrangements), components, stores, work-in progress and stock of real estate units of completed projects.
Inventories are measured at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined based on FIFO basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials, components and stores held for use in the construction of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases when a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished products shall exceed the net realisable value.
The cost of inventories represents direct cost and other expenditure (including borrowing costs) incurred during construction period which is attributable to bringing inventories to its present location and condition. In the case of finished goods in the form of stock of flats and work in progress, cost includes cost of land including incidental charges incurred for purchase of land, cost of development right and appropriate share of construction overheads allocated based on normal operating capacity. Direct and other expenditure is determined based on specific identification to the real estate activity.
Land development rights acquired under Joint Development Arrangements (JDA), are measured at the fair value of consideration payable to landowners. The consideration payable under JDAs is satisfied by way of estimated cost of constructed area attributed to landowners, suitably adjusted for interest free refundable or adjustable advances paid under such arrangements.
Land/ development rights received under joint development arrangements (‘JDA') is measured at the fair value of the estimated construction service rendered to the landowner and the same is accounted on launch of the project. The amount of non-refundable deposit paid by the Company under JDA is recognized as land advance under other assets and on the launch of the project, the non-refundable amount is transferred as land cost to work-in-progress/ capital work in progress. Further, the amount of refundable deposit paid by the Company under JDA is recognized as deposits under other financial assets.
(g) Advance paid towards land procurement
Advances paid by the Company to the seller/ intermediary towards outright purchase of land is recognised as land advance under other assets during the course of obtaining clear and marketable title, free from all encumbrances and transfer of legal title to the Company, whereupon it is transferred to land stock under inventories. Management is of the view that these advances are given under normal trade practices and are neither in the nature of loans nor advance in the nature of loans.
(h) Revenue recognition
i. Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the underlying goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts and other credits, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. The Company presents revenue from contracts with customers net of indirect taxes in its statement of profit and loss.
The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, noncash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer, if any.
Recognition of revenue from sale of real estate property
Performance obligations under contracts with customer for sale of real estate units (residential or commercial) is satisfied at a point in time. Accordingly, revenue from sale of real estate units is recognised when the control of the asset is transferred to the customer upon receipt of occupancy certificate (as applicable) and receipt of substantial consideration, which coincides with legal registration of the units or on physical handing over of the units, whichever is earlier.
Transfer of undivided share of land and constructed area to the customer is identified by the Company as a single performance obligation, as both are highly interrelated/ interdependent.
Real estate development projects under JDAs, not being jointly controlled operations, are executed on the basis of exchange of agreed percentage of constructed area or proceeds from sale of units, in lieu of grant of development rights. The Company's contractual obligations under such JDA arrangements to provide agreed constructed area or certain percentage of the revenue proceeds to the landowners in exchange of such development rights is accounted as a separate and distinct performance obligation.
The revenue is measured at the fair value of the estimated construction service rendered to the land owner, adjusted by the amount of any cash or cash equivalents transferred and is being accounted on gross basis on launch of the project. Revenues from such arrangement is recognised over the period using input method, on the basis of the inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation.
Income from maintenance and other services Revenue in respect of maintenance, sales and marketing and other services rendered are recognised on an accrual basis i.e. as and when the Company satisfies performance obligations in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Other operating income
Cancellation/ forfeiture income and transfer fees from customers are recognised based upon underlying agreements with customers and when reasonable certainty of collection is established.
Contract balances
Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
Trade receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Revenue recognition (cont'd)
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.
Cost to obtain a contract The Company recognise as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company incurs costs such as sales commission when it enters a new contract, which are directly related to winning the contract. The asset recognised is amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.
ii. Income from leasing services
Rental income receivable under operating leases (excluding variable rental income) is recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease including lease income on fair value of refundable security deposits. Rental income under operating leases having variable rental income is recognized as per the terms of the contract.
iii. Share in profit/ loss of Limited liability partnership (LLPs)
The Company's share in profits/losses from LLPs, where the Company is a partner, is recognised as income/loss in the statement of profit and loss as and when the right to receive its profit/ loss share is established by the Company in accordance with the terms of contract between the Company and the partnership entity. Share in profit/ loss is recorded under Partners Current Account.
iv. Interest income
I nterest income, including income arising from other financial instruments, is recognised using the effective interest rate method. Interest on delayed payment by customers are accounted when reasonable certainty of collection is established.
v. Dividend income
Revenue is recognised when the shareholders' or unit holders' right to receive payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
(i) Retirement and other employee benefits Employee Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance
Retirement benefits in the form of state governed Employee Provident Fund, Employee State Insurance and Employee Pension Fund Schemes are defined contribution schemes (collectively the ‘Schemes').
The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the Schemes. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the Schemes as expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. The contribution paid in excess of amount due is recognized as an asset and the contribution due in excess of amount paid is recognized as a liability.
Gratuity
The Company operates defined gratuity plan for its employees. Under the plan, every employee who has completed at least five years of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days of last drawn salary for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with an insurance company in the form of qualifying insurance policy.
Gratuity is accrued based on an independent actuarial valuation, which is done based on project unit credit method as at the balance sheet date. The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/ (asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. In accordance with Ind AS, re-measurement gains and losses on defined benefit plans recognized in OCI are not to be subsequently reclassified to statement of profit and loss. As required under Ind AS compliant Schedule III, the Company recognizes re-measurement gains and losses on defined benefit plans (net of tax) to retained earnings.
Compensated absence
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as shortterm employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as longterm employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Share based payment
Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model and the cost is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in share options outstanding account in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in employee benefits expense. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Other short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefits comprising employee costs including performance bonus is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on the basis of the amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employee.
(j) Income taxes
I ncome tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current income tax
Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for that period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either most likely method or expected value method, depending on which method predicts better resolution of the treatment.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, except when the deferred income 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 the transaction.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, 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 income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet 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 income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
The Company offsets tax assets and liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity) is recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
(k) Segment reporting
Identification of segments
The Company's operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of
products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
Inter-segment transfers
The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at appropriate margins.
Unallocated items
Unallocated items include general corporate asset, liability, income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.
Segment accounting policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the standalone financial statements of the Company as a whole.
(l) Provisions, contingent liabilities, onerous contracts and contingent asset
Provision
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of 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 recognized as a finance cost. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
When the company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that
cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses it in the standalone financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Onerous contract
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision. However, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets dedicated to that contract.
An onerous contract is a contract under which the unavoidable costs (i.e. the costs that the Company cannot avoid because it has the contract) of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed except when realisation of income is virtually certain, related asset is disclosed.
(m) Dividend to equity holders of the Company
The Company recognizes a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
(n) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand and bank balances which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
For the purpose of the standalone cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and shortterm deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding
bank borrowings repayable on demand as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.
(o) Standalone Statement of Cash Flows
Standalone Statement of Cash Flows is prepared under Ind AS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows'. Cash Flows are reported using the indirect method.
The Company classifies cash outflows to acquire or construct investment property as investing and rental inflows as operating cash flows.
(p) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(q) Share capital (equity shares)
I ncremental costs directly attributable to the issue of equity shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 12.
(r) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
i. Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value, however, trade receivables and trade payables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction value and investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in accordance with
Ind AS 27 - Separate financial statements. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.
ii. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets 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.
iii. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business 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.
iv. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized in statement of profit and loss.
v. Debt instruments at amortized cost
A ‘debt instrument' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized 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 amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
vi. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. 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. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.
vii. Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest (‘EIR') method. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using EIR 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.
viii. De-recognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
ix. Reclassification of financial assets
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial instruments.
x. Offsetting of financial instruments
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 realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
xi. Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses following hierarchy and
assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date.
Fair value hierarchy:
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 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the standalone financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
xii. I nvestment in subsidiaries (including LLPs) and joint venture: Investment in subsidiaries and joint venture is carried at cost as per Ind AS 27 ‘Separate Financial Statements'. Where the carrying amount of an investment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is assessed for recoverability and in case of permanent diminution, provision for impairment is recorded in statement of Profit and Loss. On disposal of investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(s) Impairment Financial assets
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and measures the required expected credit losses through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life-time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
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 assets or cash-generating unit's (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The 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. Where 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 net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
I mpairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cashgenerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.3 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
(a) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company considers following factors that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:
i) Identification of performance obligation
Revenue consists of sale of undivided share of land and constructed area to the customer, which have been identified by the Company as a single performance obligation, as they are highly interrelated/ interdependent. In assessing whether performance obligations relating to
sale of undivided share of land and constructed area are highly interrelated/ interdependent, the Company considers factors such as:
• whether the customer could benefit from the undivided share of land or the constructed area on its own or together with other resources readily available to the customer; and
• whether the entity will be able to fulfil its promise under the contract to transfer the undivided share of land without transfer of constructed area or transfer the constructed area without transfer of undivided share of land.
ii) Timing of satisfaction of performance obligation
Revenue from sale of real estate units is recognised when (or as) control of such units is transferred to the customer. The entity assesses timing of transfer of control of such units to the customers as transferred over time if one of the following criteria are met:
• The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity's performance as the entity performs; or
• The entity's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
• The entity's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
If control is not transferred over time as above, the entity considers the same as transferred at a point in time.
For contracts where control is transferred at a point in time, the Company considers the following indicators of the transfer of control of the asset to the customer when the:
• Entity obtains a present right to payment for the asset;
• Entity transfers significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to the customer;
• Entity transfers legal title of the asset to the customer; or
• Entity transfers physical possession of the asset to the customer; and
• Customer has accepted the asset.
iii) Accounting for revenue and land cost for projects executed through joint development arrangements (‘JDA’)
For projects executed through joint development arrangements, the Company has evaluated that landowners are not engaged in the same line of business as the Company and hence has concluded that such arrangements are contracts with customers. The revenue from the development and transfer of constructed area/revenue sharing arrangement and the corresponding land/ development rights received under JDA is measured at the fair value of the estimated construction service rendered to the landowner and the same is accounted on launch of the project. The fair value is estimated with reference to the terms of the JDA (whether revenue share or area share) and the related cost that is allocated to discharge the obligation of the Company under the JDA. Fair value of the construction is the representative fair value of the revenue transaction and land so obtained. Such assessment is carried out at the launch of the real estate project and is not reassessed thereafter. The management is of the view that the fair value method and estimates are reflective of the current market condition.
iv) Significant financing component
For contracts involving sale of real estate unit, the Company receives the consideration in accordance with the terms of the contract in proportion of the percentage of completion of such real estate project and represents payments made by customers to secure performance obligation of the Company under the contract enforceable by customers. Such consideration is received and utilised for specific real estate projects in accordance with the requirements of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Consequently, the Company has concluded that such contracts with customers do not involve any financing element since the same arises for reasons explained above, which is other than for provision of finance to/from the customer.
(b) Estimation of net realizable value for inventory (including land advance)
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV).
NRV for completed inventory is assessed by reference to market conditions and prices existing at the reporting date and is determined by the Company, based on comparable transactions identified by the
Company for properties in the same geographical market serving the same real estate segment.
NRV in respect of inventory under construction is assessed with reference to market prices at the reporting date for similar completed property, less estimated costs to complete construction and estimate of time value of money till date of completion.
With respect to land advances, NRV is based on the present value of future cash flows, which depends on the estimate of, the expected date of completion of project, the estimation of sale prices, construction costs and discount rate used.
(c) Impairment of financial and non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets (except financial assets valued through fair value through profit or loss) is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset's performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to disclosure of fair value of investment property recorded by the Company.
(d) Defined benefit plans - Gratuity
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates and expected salary increase thereon.
(e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
(f) Measurement of financial instruments at amortized cost
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest (‘EIR') method. The computation of amortized cost is sensitive to the inputs to EIR including effective rate of interest, contractual cash flows and the expected life of the financial instrument. Changes in assumptions about these inputs could affect the reported value of financial instruments.
(g) Useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment and investment property
The useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment and investment property are determined based on evaluation made by the management of the expected usage of the asset, the physical wear and tear and technical or commercial obsolescence of the asset. Due to the judgments involved in such estimates the useful life and residual value are sensitive to the actual usage in future period.
(h) Valuation of investment property
Investment property is stated at cost. However, as per Ind AS 40 ‘Investment Property' there is a requirement to disclose fair value as at the balance sheet date. The Company engaged independent valuation specialists to determine the fair value of its investment property as at reporting date. The determination of the fair value of investment properties requires the use of estimates such as future cash flows from the assets and discount rates applicable to those assets.
(i) Provision for litigations and contingencies
Provision for litigations and contingencies is determined based on evaluation made by the management of the present obligation arising from past events the settlement of which is expected to result in outflow of resources embodying economic benefits, which involves judgments around ultimate outcome and measurement of the obligation amount. Due to judgments involved in such estimation the provision is sensitive to the actual outcome in future periods.
(j) Classification of property
The Company determines whether a property is classified as investment property or inventory as below.
I nvestment property comprises land and buildings (principally office and retail properties) that are not occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of, the Company, nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but are held primarily to earn rental income and capital appreciation. These buildings are substantially rented to tenants and not intended to be sold in the ordinary course of business.
I nventory comprises property that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business. Principally, this is residential and commercial property that the Company develops and intends to sell before or during the course of construction or upon completion of construction.
(k) Deferred tax asset
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.
(l) Lease
The Company enters into leasing arrangements for various assets. The classification of the leasing arrangement as a finance lease or operating lease and corresponding period used for accounting is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not limited to, transfer of ownership of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee's option to purchase and estimated certainty of exercise of such option, proportion of lease term to the asset's economic life, proportion of present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased asset and extent of specialized nature of the leased asset.
1.4 Recent accounting pronouncement
