C. MATERIAL ACOCUNTING POLICIES
This notes provides a list of material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these standalone financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1 Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
Property, plant and equipment is stated at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of an item of property, land and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
(a) Property plant and equipment (PPE)
Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis on the straight line method based on estimated useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Estimated Useful Life - Computers - 3 Years
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
(b) Intangible assets
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Finite-life intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected useful lives.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for finite life intangible assets is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. For indefinite life intangible assets, the assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether it continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.
3 Investment Properties:
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs less depreciation and impairment if any.
Depreciation on building is provided based on straight line method using the useful life as specified in schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 .
4 Financial Instruments:
Financial assets - Initial recognition:
Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Equity Instruments:
Considering the entity's business model for managing equity instruments; the investments in equity shares have been recognised at fair value as on date of balance sheet. Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income (OCI).
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably. Dividends recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss are included in the ‘Other income’ line item.
Impairment
The Company recognises a loss allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECL) on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and at FVOCI. The credit loss is difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity in accordancewiththe contractand all the cashflows thatthe entity expects toreceive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted atthe original effective interestrate. This is assessed on an individual or collective basis after considering all reasonable and supportable including that which is forward looking.
The Company’s trade receivables or contract revenue receivables do not contain significant financing component and loss allowance on trade receivables is measured at an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e. expected cash shortfall, being simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance.
Under simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on the lifetime ECL at each reporting date right from its initial recognition. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio oftrade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed defaultrates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed defaultrates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, the Company recognises 12-months expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality ofthe instrument improves such that there is nolonger significant increase in credit risks since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 months ECL. The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement ofProfit and Loss. For equity instruments and financial assets measured at FVTPL, there is no requirement of impairment testing.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers rights to receive cash flows from an asset, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement.
In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Financial Liabilities
Initial Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a partyto the contractual provisions ofthe instruments. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fairvalue net of transaction costs for all financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss. The Company’s financial liabilities includes trade and other payables, loans and bomowings including bank overdrafts.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at using EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Loans & Borrowings:
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit & loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through EIR amortization process.
Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that requires a payment to be made or to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance with the term of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
5 Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives, investments at fair value at each balance sheet date. 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised 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:
(i) Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(ii) Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
(iii) 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 recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above
6 Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is computed on a weighted average basis.
7 Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and Cash equivalents include cash and Cheque in hand, bankbalances, demand deposits with banks and other short-termhighly liquid investments that arereadily convertibleto known amounts ofcash & which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value where original maturity is three months or less.
8 Foreign Currency Transactions:
a) Initial Recognition
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year.
b) Measurement of Foreign Currency Items at the Balance Sheet Date
Foreign currency monetary items ofthe Company are restated at the closing exchange rates. Non monetary items are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date ofthe transaction. Exchange differences arising out of these transactions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss
9 Revenue Recognition:
Rendering of Services
Income from services rendered is recognised based on invoices raised for service provided on an accrual basis.
Revenue is measured at fair value ofthe considerationreceived or receivable, after deduction of any discounts and any taxes or duties collected onbehalf ofthe government which are levied on sales such as Goods & Service tax, sales tax, value added tax, etc.
Interest
Revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable and based on Effective interest rate method.
Dividend
Dividend Income is recognized when right to receive the same is established.
10 Employee Benefits:
Employee Benefits: - The Company does not falls with in the applicability of Employee Benefit plans.
11 Income Taxes:
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Currenttaxis based ontaxableprofitfortheyear. Taxableprofit is differentfrom accountingprofit duetotemporary differences between accounting andtaxtreatments, and dueto items that arenevertaxable or tax deductible. Tax provisions are included in current liabilities. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities are provided for in the tax charge. The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the assets and liabilities on net basis.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amountinfinancial statements. Deferred incometaxasset are recognized to the extentthatit is probable thattaxable profitwill be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are not recognised where it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realised in the future.
The carrying amount of deferred income 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 defeired 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 reporting date
12 Taxes on Income
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of Cost of that assets, during the period till all the activities necessary to prepare the Qualifying assets for its intended use or sale are complete during the period oftime that is required to complete and prepare the assets for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which thev are incurred.
13 Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per shares are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
14 Leases:
Where the Company is Lessee
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all therisks and benefits ofownership ofthe leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating leasepayments arerecognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis as per the terms of agreements entered with the counter parties.
Where the Company is Lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership ofthe asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in property, plant and equipment. The Company recognizes lease rentals from the property leased out, on accrual basis as per the terms ofagreements entered with the counter parties. Costs, including depreciation, are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
