B. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This Note provides a list of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements:-
a. Compliance with Ind AS:
The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act, as amended and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies not referred to specifically otherwise, are consistent with the generally accepted accounting principles.
b. Use of Estimates:-
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires judgements, estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known/materialized.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each Balance sheet date. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates is revised and future period affected.
The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise.
The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect.
i. Recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are recognised for deductible temporary differences for which there is probability of utilization against the future taxable profit. The Company uses judgement to determine the amount of Deferred Tax Liability /Asset that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits and business developments.
ii. Useful lives of property plant & equipment and intangible assets:
The Company uses its technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for determining the useful life of an asset/ component of an asset. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation / amortization is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. Management reviews the residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation / amortization at each reporting period end and any revision to these is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
iii. Employee Benefits:
The defined benefit obligations measured using actuarial valuation techniques. An actuarial valuation involves making key
assumption of life expectancies, salary increases and withdrawal rates. Variation in these assumptions may impact the defined benefit obligation.
iv. Impairment of Assets
Significant judgment is involved in determining the estimated future cash flows from the Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible asset and Goodwill to determine its value in use to assess whether there is any impairment in its carrying amount as reflected in the financials.
v. Contingencies
Management judgement is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies, claim, litigations etc. against the Compa ny as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
c. Historical Cost Convention:-
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and on accrual basis except for the following:
- Net defined benefit (asset)/liability measured as per actuarial valuation.
- Certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period.
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 under current market conditions, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In determining 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.
d. Current and non-current classification
Based on the nature of activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash
equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III of the Act and Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.
For the Purpose of Balance Sheet, an Assets is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
(i) it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company's normal operating cycle;
(ii) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) i t is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting date; or
(iv) i t is cash or a cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Similarly, a liability is classified as current if:
(i) it is expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating cycle;
(ii) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or
(iv) The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty does not affect this classification.
All other liabilities are classified
as non-current.
e. Functional & Presentation Currency
The Company's Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is also the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded off to the nearest Lakhs and up to two decimals, except where otherwise indicated.
f. Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
2. Revenue recognition :
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to, excluding taxes and net of returns, discounts, and other adjustments.
Trading of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally upon dispatch or delivery as per contract terms. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns, trade discounts, volume rebates, and applicable taxes. Provisions are made for expected returns based on historical data and contract terms.
Work Contract Services:
Revenue from work contract services is recognized over time using the output method, based on surveys of performance completed to date, milestones reached, or units delivered, provided such output faithfully depicts the Company's performance in transferring control of goods or services. This method is used where performance obligations are satisfied progressively, and the Company has enforceable right to payment for work completed to date.
General
The transaction price is determined based on the contract and may include variable considerations such as discounts, incentives, and penalties. These are included only when it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No significant financing component is presumed as the credit terms are consistent with market practice.
Interest and dividends Income
Revenue shall be recognized on the following bases:
(a) I nterest income is accrued on a time basis, be reference to the amortized cost and the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method as set out in Ind AS 39; Interest income from Financial Asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income be measured reliably.
(b) dividends shall be recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment is established.
Revenue is recognised only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.
3. Property, Plant & Equipment :
Tangible Assets
Property, Plant and Equipment are measured at Historical cost net of tax / duty credit availed, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost [Net of Input tax credit received/ receivable] include related expenditure and pre-operative & project expenses for the period up to completion of construction/ assets are ready for its intended use, if the recognition criteria are met and the present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset, if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment are capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with them will flow to the Company and the cost of the expenditure can be measured reliably. Repairs and Maintenance costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals, if any, are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss within Other Income or Other Expenses, as applicable.
Intangible assets:-
Intangible assets purchased are initially measured at cost. The cost of an Intangible Asset comprises its purchase price including any costs directly attributable to making the asset ready for their intended use.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value:-
Depreciation is charged as per written down value method on the basis of the expected useful life as specified in Schedule II to the Act. Depreciation for assets purchased/sold during the period is proportionately charged. Depreciation method, useful life & residual value are reviewed periodically. The residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at the end of each reporting period.
4. Impairment Of Assets:-
An asset is treated as impaired when carrying cost of assets exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable amount is measured as the higher of the net selling price and the value in use determined by the present value of estimated future cash flows. An impairment loss is charged off to profit and loss account as and when asset is identified for impairment. The impairment loss recognized in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. An asset is treated as impaired when carrying cost of assets exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable amount is measured as the higher of the net selling price and the value in use determined by the present value of estimated future cash flows.
5. Inventories:-
Inventories have been valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.
Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to effect the sale.
Cost of Inventory comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to the present location and condition. Cost of Work in progress includes all Costs of Purchases, Conversion Cost and other cost Incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and Condition.
6. Retirement Benefits & Other Employee Benefits:-
a. Short Term Obligations:
Liabilities for wages and salaries that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured by the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
b. Long Term Obligations:
Defined Benefit Plan - Gratuity
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is computed on the basis of an actuarial valuation by an actuary appointed for the purpose as per the projected unit credit method at the end of each Financial Year. The liability recognized in the Standalone Balance Sheet in respect of the defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period.
As the gratuity plan is unfunded, there are no plan assets to be deducted from the defined benefit obligation. The entire liability is recognized in the Standalone Balance Sheet and is paid out of the Company's internal resources as and when it becomes due.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit obligation. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur directly in Other Comprehensive Income. They are included in retained earnings in the Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Standalone Balance Sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
7. Borrowing costs:
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset 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. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
8. Cash Flow Statement :-
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non- cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are segregated.
9. Income tax :-
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is the tax payable on the taxable income of the current period based on the applicable income tax rates.
Deferred tax reflects changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary Differences and unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. The Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit | (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company 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.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
10. Contingencies and Events Occurring After the Balance Sheet Date:-
Events that occur between balance sheet date and date on which these are approved, might suggest the requirement for an adjustment(s) to the assets and the liabilities as at balance sheet date or might need disclosure. Adjustments are required to assets and liabilities for events which occur after balance sheet date which offer added information substantially affecting the determination of the amounts which relates to the conditions that existed at balance sheet date.
11. Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, demand deposits with bank and other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
12. 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.
A. Financial assets:
I. Classification:
Measurement at amortized cost:
A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
(b) 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.
Measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
(a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and
(b) 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.
Fair value movements are recognised in the other comprehensive income.
Measurement at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized as other income in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The classification depends on business model of the Company for managing financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
II. 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. All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income. The Company has made such election on an instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
III. Investments in subsidiary:
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost. The Company reviews its carrying value of long term investments in equity shares of subsidiaries carried at cost at the end of each reporting period. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
I nvestments in subsidiary are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiary, the differences between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Investments in equity instruments issued by other than subsidiary are classified as at FVTPL, unless the related instruments are not held for trading and the Company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in Other Comprehensive Income.
IV. Derecognition:
A financial asset is derecognized only when the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, the asset expires or retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
B. Financial Liabilities:
I. Classification as debt or equity:
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements
entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
II. Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the fair value.
III. Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. 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. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
IV. Derecognition:-
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
19. 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. 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.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
20. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are removed from the financial statement when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
