2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the material accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements are as given below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Standalone Financial Statements.
2.1 Basis of Preparation
2.1.1 Statement of compliance
The Standalone Financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under the Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation including disclosure requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the CFS and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. The Company has consistently applied accounting policies to all periods.
The Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.
2.1.2 Historical Cost Convention
The Standalone Financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), under the historical cost convention and on accrual basis as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"), except for the following items:
- Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments),
- Defined benefit plans - Plan assets are measured at fair value.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Standalone Financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency'). The Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupee ('), which is also the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest Million, up to two places of decimal, unless otherwise indicated. Amounts having absolute value of less than ' 1000 have been rounded and are presented as ' 0.00 Millions in the Standalone Financial Statements.
Summary of material accounting policies
2.2 Current vs non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Standalone statement of assets and liabilities based on current/ non-current 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.
The Company classifies all other assets 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.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
2.3 Property plant and equipment
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Property, plant and equipment is recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of each item can be measured reliably. Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at their cost.
Cost of asset includes:
a) Purchase price, net of any trade discounts and rebates
b) Cost directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets which incurred in bringing asset to its working condition for the intended use
c) Present value of the estimated costs of dismantling & removing the items & restoring the site on which it is located if recognition criteria are met.
Amounts paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for intended use before such date are disclosed under capital
advances and capital work-in-progress (CWIP) respectively.
Significant Parts of an item of PPE (including major inspections) having different useful lives & material value or other factors are accounted for as separate components. All other repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
Subsequent measurement
Property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured at cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent expenditure is
capitalized if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and cost of the expenditure can be measured reliably.
Depreciation and useful lives
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as specified in schedule II of the Companies act, 2013 except for assets used in manufacturing of Medical Products which are depreciated over a period of 3 years based on the management's internal assessment.
*For these classes of assets based on internal assessment and technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which the Management expects to use these assets. Hence the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of Companies Act 2013.
Depreciation on additions to/deductions from property, plant and equipment during the period is charged on pro-rata basis from/up to the date on which the asset is available for use/ disposed. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment is depreciated separately if the cost of part is significant in relation to the total cost of the item and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of remaining asset. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized 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 Standalone Statement of Profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
2.4 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Intangible assets are amortized on straight line basis over the estimated useful life. Estimated useful life of the software is considered as 3 years. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed in each financial
year / period end and changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively. An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.5 Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses, 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 Company's 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 and the impairment loss, including impairment on inventories are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss.
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.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized. 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 recognized for the asset in prior period. Such reversal is recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss.
2.6 Inventories
a) Inventories (including traded goods) are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
• Raw materials: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on first in, first out basis.
• Finished goods and intermediate products (including manufactured components): Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on first in, first out basis.
• Stores and spares, consumables and packing materials cost includes direct expenses and is determined on the basis of first in first out method.
b) Net realizable 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. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by¬ item basis.
2.7 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation and it excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties and is adjusted for variable considerations. Any subsequent change in the transaction price is then allocated to the performance obligations in the contract on the same basis as at contract inception. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using most likely amount method. Consequently, amounts allocated to a satisfied performance obligation are recognised as revenue, or as a reduction of revenue, in the period in which the transaction price changes. Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, deletions or changes are approved either to the contract scope or contract price.
a) Sale of products and Services
Revenue from sale of products is recognized at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at the time of shipment to or receipt of goods by the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements as it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.
Sales-related obligation associated with sale of goods cannot be purchased separately and they serve as an assurance that the products sold comply with agreed- upon specifications. Accordingly, the Company accounts for such obligation in accordance with Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The goods and service tax (GST) is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
b) Other Operating Revenue
Export incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions and the incentive will be received.
c) Other Revenue
• Interest income: Interest income is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method ("EIR") that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of
the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
• Dividends: Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
• Rental income: Rental income arising from operating leases or on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms & included in other non¬ operating income in Statement of Profit and Loss.
• Insurance Claims: Insurance claims are accounted for as and when admitted by the concerned authority.
d) Contract balances
• Contract assets: A 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 recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional.
• Trade receivables: A 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).
• Contract liabilities: A 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 recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
e) Right of return
The Company provides a customer with a right to return in case of any defects or on grounds of quality. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate the goods that will not be returned because this method best predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the Company will be entitled. The requirements in Ind AS 115 on constraining estimates of variable consideration are also applied in order to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price.
The application of Ind AS 115 did not have any material impact on recognition and measurement principles. However, it results in additional presentation and disclosure requirements for the Company.
The Company has also applied the practical expedient under Ind AS 115 for incremental cost of obtaining a contract and has recognized such cost as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.
2.8 Taxes
Tax expense comprises current tax expense and
deferred tax.
a) Current income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities in accordance with relevant tax regulations. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (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 considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity 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.
b) 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, 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 utilised,
Deferred tax is recognized in Standalone Statement of Profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized outside profit or loss, in which case is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
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 utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Company relies on the
same forecast assumptions used elsewhere in the financial statements and in other management reports, which, among other things, reflect the potential impact of climate-related development on the business, such as increased cost of production as a result of measures to reduce carbon emission.
Deferred 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 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
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax 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 taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
2.9 Foreign currencies
The Company's Standalone financial statements are presented in ', which is also the Company's functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items outstanding at the reporting date are converted to functional currency using the closing rate (Closing selling rates for liabilities and closing buying rate for assets). Non- monetary items denominated in a
foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transactions.
Exchange differences arising on settlement of monetary items, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss in the period in which they arise. These exchange differences are presented in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss on net basis.
2.10 Employee benefit
a) Short-term employee benefits
Employee benefits such as salaries, short term compensated absences, and other benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits and undiscounted amount of such benefits are expensed in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss in in the period in which the employee renders the related services.
b) Post-employment benefits
• Defined Contribution Plan: A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts.
The Company makes specified monthly contribution towards provident fund (‘PF') and employee state insurance scheme (‘ESI') which is a defined contribution plan. The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense in the Standalone statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
• Defined Benefit Plan: A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. Under such plans, the obligation for any benefits remains with the Company. The Company's liability towards gratuity and leave Encashment is in the nature of defined benefit plan.
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Company makes periodic contributions to the Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Limited, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Co. Ltd, Tata Aia Life Insurance Co Ltd and Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Co. Ltd. for the Gratuity Plan in respect of employees.
The employees' leave encashment scheme is managed by HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited which is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method and is recognised on the basis of eligible leave balances of employees' as on valuation date.
The liability in respect of gratuity and leave encashment is accrued in the books of accounts on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The Company's net obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate based on the market yield on government securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the defined benefit obligations at each reporting date.
Re-measurement, comprising
actuarial gains and losses, is recognized in other comprehensive income and is reflected in retained earnings and the same is not eligible to be reclassified to Standalone Statement of Profit and loss.
Defined benefit costs comprising current service cost, past service cost, interest cost and gains or losses on settlements are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss as employee benefits expense. Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognized when the settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognized as expense at the earlier of the plan amendment or curtailment and when the Company recognizes related restructuring costs or termination benefits.
c) Other long-term employee benefits
Benefits under the Company's compensated absences constitute other long-term employee benefits, recognized as an expense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss for the period in which the employee has rendered services. The obligation recognized in respect of these long-term benefits is measured at present value of the obligation based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit credit method.
Long term employee benefit costs comprising current service cost, interest cost and gains or losses on curtailments and settlements, re-measurements including actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss as employee benefit expenses.
d) Share based payments - Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOP')
Employees 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 fair value of options granted under Employee Stock Option Plan is recognized as an employee benefits with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options determined under Black-Scholes model. The total expense is recognized over
the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received are allocated to share capital up to the par value of the shares issued with any excess being recorded as share premium. If the options are forfeited or not exercised after vesting date, related expenses already recognized in statement of profit and loss are not reversed but transferred to other component within equity.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
2.H Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent include cash on hand, cash at banks and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
For the purpose of the Standalone statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of unrestricted cash and short-term deposits, as defined above as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.
2.12 Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets upto the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.
The loan origination costs directly attributable to the acquisition of borrowings (e.g. loan processing fee, upfront fee) are amortised on the basis of the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method over the term of the loan. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
