Note 2.1: Summary of significant accounting policies
a. Current versus non-current classification
Assets and Liabilities are classified as current or non - current, inter-alia considering the normal operating cycle of the company's operations and the expected realization/settlement thereof within 12 months after the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non¬ current assets and liabilities.
b. Revenue recognition
The revenue is recognized on the basis of Mercantile System of Accounting. The expenses and Income considered payable and receivable respectively are accounted on accrual basis. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risk and reward of ownership is transferred to the customer and commodity has been delivered to the customer.
c. Interest
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest. Interest income is included under the head "Other income" in the statement of profit & loss account.
d. Dividends
Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive dividend is established by the balance sheet date.
e. Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and Net realisable value (FIFO) after providing for obsolescence and other losses where considered necessary (as mentioned in Ind AS 2). Raw material and WIP is valued at cost exclusive of duties and taxes. Scrap is estimated at realisable value. Finished goods are valued at cost or estimated realizable value inclusive of excise duty payable
thereupon at the time of dispatch whichever is lower.
f. Income Tax Expenses
Income Tax Expense represents the Sum of tax currently
payable and deferred tax (net)
i. Current income tax
The Company measures current income tax assets and liabilities based on the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to tax authorities, using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the reporting date. Current income tax related to items recognized outside profit or loss is recorded directly in other comprehensive income or equity, corresponding with the underlying transaction. The Company regularly assesses tax positions taken in its filings, including situations where tax regulations require interpretation, and establishes provisions when necessary to account for potential uncertainties. This approach ensures appropriate recognition of current tax obligations and receivables in line with applicable accounting standards.
ii. 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, Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of 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 losses can be utilised.
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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
a. Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost of acquisition or constructions including attributable borrowing cost till such assets are ready for their intended use, less of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost of acquisition for the aforesaid purpose comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, net of trade discounts, rebates and credits received if any.
Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long¬ term construction projects 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, 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 profit or loss as incurred.
Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under development as at the balance sheet date.
Property Plant and equipment are eliminated from financial statements, either on disposal or when retired from active use. Losses arising in case of retirement of Property, Plant and equipment and gains or losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, Depreciation is provided as per useful life prescribed by Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 on Written Down Value Method on Tangible PPE.
h. Intangible assets
The Company recognizes intangible assets (primarily computer software) when costs are measurable and future economic benefits are probable. Acquired separately, they are measured at cost; obtained via business combinations, at acquisition-date book value. Subsequently, they are carried at cost less accumulated amortization (using straight-line method over useful lives) and impairment losses. Amortization periods are reviewed annually. This policy ensures compliance with accounting standards while maintaining prudent capitalization criteria.
i. Investment properties
Investment properties, including those under construction that are held for long-term rental yields and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost. Subsequently investment property comprising of building is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit and loss as incurred.
v. Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.
The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period of de-recognition.
ii. Impairment of 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 units (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 Companies 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. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
xiv. 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 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 or loss.
j. Borrowing costs:
i. Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time (generally over twelve months) to get ready for its intended use or sale.
ii. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
k. 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 fulfilment 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.
Finance Lease
Finance leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the 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 a reduction in 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.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Entity 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
Assets acquired on leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease rentals are charged to the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis unless payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increase.
The Company has elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liability for short term lease of property for period less than 12 months or less.
