1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended).
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Ind-AS requires a change in accounting policy hitherto in use.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except financial assets and liabilities including derivative financial instruments and investments, defined benefit plans which are to be measured at fair value:
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 and Ind AS 1 "Presentation of financial statements".
b) Current versus non-current classification:
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet 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; or
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading; or
• 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; or All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; or
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading; or
• 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 respectively.
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.
c) Revenue Recognition
• Sales revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer on dispatch or delivery of goods, net of sales returns, trade discount and GST and do not include the cost of materials used for captive consumption.
• Export Incentives are accounted on accrual basis and include the estimated value of incentives receivable under the Duty Drawback Scheme and the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP). Any difference at the time of actual receipt is accounted for in the year of receipt. The amount of export incentives has been adjusted with the cost of raw materials consumed.Gain/Loss, if any, on transfer of Duty Credit Entitlements received under the DEPB Scheme is accounted for in the year of transfer.
• Other operating revenue include revenue arising from a Company's operating activities, i.e., either its principal or ancillary revenue-generating activities, but which is not revenue arising from sale of products or rendering of services. The other operating revenue of the company includes revenue from freight, exchange rate fluctuations etc.
• Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
d) Inventory Valuation
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories, other than for manufactured finished goods and goods in process, is determined on Weighted Average Cost Method (net of CENVAT/Input Tax credit availed) of stock accounting. Cost of manufactured finished goods and goods in process include cost of raw materials consumed on weighted average
basis and appropriate portion of allocable overheads and Taxes, wherever applicable. Scrap, if any, at the year-end does not form part of the closing inventory.
e) Evaluation of Trade Receivables, Loans & Advances and Provisioning
Recoverability status of all the debtors and Loans & Advances are duly evaluated/reviewed and necessary provision/writing off is considered by the Company on annual basis. Besides the same the Company since financial year 2020-21 onwards had been consistently reviewing/evaluating the overdue debts on case to case basis in timely manner and going for the required writing off/provisioning depending upon the age of related debtors/advancesas per the following:
f) Property, Plant & Equipment, Intangible Assets and Capital Work in Progress
Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible Assets are stated at original cost (net of CENVAT/Input Tax credit availed, wherever eligible) but including freight inward, duties, taxes and other incidental expenses relating to acquisition and installation thereof. Capital work in progress includes cost of property, plant & equipment under installation and other incidental expenses. Items of property, plant & equipment that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are shown separately in the financial statements. Any expected loss is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains and losses arising from disposal of Property, Plant & Equipment which are carried at cost are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
g) Depreciation
The useful lives of the assets are based on
Assets individually costing less than ' 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
h) Impairment of Assets
Usually the Company reviews the carrying value of assets for any possible impairment at each balance sheet date. However, the assets that are subject of amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing the recoverable amount, higher of the assets' fair value less cost to sell and value in use is considered.
i) Operating Lease
The Company, as a lessee, recognizes leasehold rights and leasehold obligations for its leasing arrangements, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset.
The leasehold rights are depreciated/amortized using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right to use.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. 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.
Modifications to a lease agreement beyond the original terms and conditions are generally accounted for as a remeasurement of the lease liability with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Any gain or loss on modification is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
j) Valuation of Investments
Long term Investments are valued at cost and Short-Term Investments are valued at lower of cost and fair value, calculated individually for each investment.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial Assets
Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. These include trade receivables, cash & cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash & cash equivalents and other financial assets.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss depending on its business model for managing those financial assets and the asset contractual cash flow characteristics.
Financial Assets at Amortised Cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset 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.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model 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. The company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of equity investment not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity and does not retain control of the asset.
Impairment of Financial Assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets. In case of trade receivables, the Company follows the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments" for recognition of impairment loss allowance. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. The Company calculates the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the basis of its historical credit loss experience.
Financial Liabilities
Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial liabilities include borrowings, lease liability, trade payables and other financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of borrowings and trade payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
The financial liabilities are classified as either 'financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss' or 'financial liabilities at amortised cost'. Financial liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss Financial liabilities are classified at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is held for trading or are designated upon initial recognition as fair value through profit or loss. It
includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships. All changes in the fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities at Amortised Cost
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade payables etc.) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest method.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is included in the statement of profit and loss when the liability is derecognised.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Effective Interest Method (EIR)
Financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised 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.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.
Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken to statement of profit and loss.
Classification as Debt or Equity Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definition of a financial liabilities and an equity instrument.
Equity Instruments
An Equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by Company are recognised at the proceeds received. Transaction costs related to issue of equity instruments is reduced from equity. Dividend paid on equity instruments is directly reduced from equity.
