2.2 Summary of material accounting policies
a) Use of estimates, judgments and assumptions
The preparation of Standalone Financial Statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting year. Although these estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future years.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years.
b) Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Standalone Balance Sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting year; or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting year.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it is:
• Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting year; or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting year.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
c) Common control business combinations
Common control business combination refers to a business combination involving entities in which all the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control have been accounted for using the pooling of interest method.
The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts. No adjustments have been made to reflect fair values, or to recognise any new assets or liabilities. Adjustments are made only to harmonise accounting policies.
The financial information in the Standalone Financial Statements in respect of prior periods have been restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the earliest period presented in these Standalone Financial Statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. However, if business combination had occurred after that date, the prior period information has been restated only from that date.
The difference, if any, between the purchase consideration paid either in the form of share capital or cash or other assets and the amount of net assets of the entities acquired is transferred to capital reserve in case of credit balance and Amalgamation adjustment deficit account in case of debit balance and presented separately from other reserves within equity. The nature and purpose of such reserve is disclosed in the notes.
d) Property, plant and equipment
Recogrjjii&^T^e^surement and de-recognition ____
Itera^sj^HSropei |t and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulate^rf^alrrae^^«es,
(w(,/} i \%\\
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including freight, duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised 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 income statement when the asset is derecognised.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and is generally recognised in Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation on additions / disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from / upto the date on which asset is ready for use / disposed.
Improvements to leasehold buildings not owned by the Company are amortized over the lease year or estimated useful life of such improvements, whichever is lower.
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.
The Company, based on technical assessment made by technical expert and management estimate, depreciates certain items of office equipment and vehicles over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.
e) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits ape expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference betweefyifeVreWiyesaI proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Standalone State^f^and LossMfter'fthe ass^rsWrecognised.
Research and development costs |(co j?u) g ]j
Resaarc\costs ara'exc/ensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recogn^d^s^anJpJangyDle asset\hen^T]gT^omp^ny can demonstrate:
? The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
? Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
? How the asset will generate future economic benefits
? The availability of resources to complete the asset
? The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete, and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortisation expense is recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
Intangible assets (including intangible assets acquired on business combination) are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life i.e. 3 years. All Intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation year and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting year. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation year or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
f) Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is or contains a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Company as a lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, i.e., 5 years.
If ownership of the right-of-use asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section (h) Impairment of non-financial assets.
Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is incp®ese*4<areflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liatJ^^^iisiri^^sured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the leas^ii^mSuts (e.g., changes K&Wure payn^tsVesulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease paynterft^'onaAgwge in the asseplment of an opttppJp purchase the underlying asset. (fcnf Ao
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term,
g) 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.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company's business model for managing them.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortised cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in below categories:
i) financial assets at Amortized cost
ii) financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
i) Financial assets at Amortized cost:
A 'financial asset’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets that are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets 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 are measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR amortization is recognised as finance income in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
ii) Pi^p^i2l-ai^^qtfair value through profit and loss (FVTPL):
All financial assets ncMassified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are/mepsurai^a^^THL. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the Standalone Balance Sheet at fair in fa^vat^^ecog^ed^/l the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category includes listed equity investments which the Company had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OC!.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised when:
® The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Financial liabilities:
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or amortised cost, as appropriate. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, all financial liabilities except financial liabilities held for trading, derivative financial liabilities and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition
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. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Reclassification of financial assets/financial liabilities
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company's operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Standalone 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 realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured 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.
The purchase contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under Ind AS 109 are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Commodity contracts that are entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the Company's expected purchase, sale or usage requirements are held at cost.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognised in OCI and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss or treated as basis adjustment if a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Fair Value Measurement
A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. 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: ______
*Ý In^^rincIpaJ&arket for the asset or liability, or
" Wbe absence oj%qrincipal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
Tme principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of am^^ffllw^Llran^tyjis maasiJi^d using^tneyssumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, aWjlmimj thaCfnartret parftqiMnlSjaCflrr^ best economic interest. ---
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Standalone 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:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable
6 Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
The Company has set policies and procedures for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurement of financial assets, which includes valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
For fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
This note summarises accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
• Disclosures for valuation methods, significant estimates and assumptions (note 36)
• Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy (note 36)
• Financial instruments (including those carried at amortised cost) (note 36)
h) Impairment
i) Financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost for e.g., debt securities, deposits, trade receivables and bank balances. The impairment methodology applied for financial assets except trade receivables depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and if so, assess the need to provide for the same in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
In respect of other financial assets (e.g.: debt securities, deposits, bank balances etc), the Company generally invests in instruments with high credit rating and consequently low credit risk. In the unlikely event that the credit risk increases significantly from inception of investment, lifetime ECL is used for recognising impairment loss on such assets.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original Effective Interest Rate (EIR). When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider all contractual terms of the financial instrument over the expected life of the financial instrument.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/expense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected under the head 'other expenses' in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Balance Sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
Financial assets measured at amortised cost and trade receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the Standalone Balance Sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the as-sEt^yieSts^write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
For a0d,s£ing increS&snn credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments based-en-^hared credijrfsk characteristipgjJvith the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant ipjJi^SeA^S^dit risk tc be identified onja timely basis. In addition, the Company considers that there has been a significanra^asel^h&Mit risk \^en\^ontractua^pay/ients are more than 30 days past due. //to
The ComRanyj^onsi^re a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. Vlsjy^yer, in c^ftajn cases, the COrnpaTiy may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external informat^^ifrdfeet^^^let the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
ii) Impairment of investment in subsidiaries
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments in subsidiaries at cost, annually, or more frequently when there is an indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
Hi) Non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are tested for impairment events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. 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 the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Impairment loss of non-financial assets, if any are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
i) Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customer
The Company generates revenue from online delivery of goods, display of advertisements on the platform, Assurance services and other platform services. Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated towards that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of any taxes collected from customers, which is remitted to government authorities and variable consideration on account of discounts and schemes offered by the Company. The transaction price is an amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services.
Where performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised services in the contract. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are remitted to governmental authorities.
Revenue recognition for the various revenue streams is as follows: i) Shipping Income
Revenue derived from operating the marketplace is recognized based on the terms of the contracts with the seller. Revenue is recognised at a point in time upon the delivery of goods from the seller to the end consumer or upon the delivery of the returned product to the seller. Revenue from contracts with seller is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the end consumer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue also excludes any amounts collected on behalf of sellers or any third parties including taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. As there is no credit period given to the sellers, there is no financing component in the contract.
There are 2 different types of Shipping Income:
1. Forward Shipping income is a stream of revenue generated from shipping charges recovered from sellers upon successful delivery of goods. The amount of Forward Shipping Income is determined based on factors including product weights, delivery zones and the chosen mode of payment. Shipping charges reflect the logistical and operational costs associated with transporting goods to their destinations.
2. Return shipping income is a stream of revenue that is recovered from the seller in case the product is returned or exchanged by the end consumer. Return shipping fees are recognised upon the delivery of the returned product to the seller. The amount of Reverse Shipping Income is determined based on factors including product weights, delivery zones, Logistics Carrier, etc.
The Company manages shipping services through its logistics platform - 'Valmo' and third-party logistics services providers. Until 15 M^c^Q^vthe Company charged order shipping income from sellers and paid appropriate costs to the logistics partner^^F'STag^pfkdeliveries i.e. first mile, mid mile and last mile delivery services. The Company considers itself to be a prirrojjat in this aramrement and recognises revenue on a gross basis as the fulfilment of the ordep^^Pfe^primary respopsirfility of the CoVnjaany. 2^s\
EffectVe \5March 2p25 Jhe Company has transitioned to a model wherein if the seller opts for
the lasr^le'deiivefy sej>vices the sellers are responsible with regard to the payment of logistics fees pertm^g^^tirli last mi|e deliv&WiiiEriaJJae'Company merely acts a facilitator connecting delivery partners with the sellem^Nje arrara^ment between seller and last mile delivery partner is on principal-to-principal basis. Sellers have the right to'^^me^Rej^rmile delivery partners and related pricing and the Company considers itself to be an agent in this arrangement. The Company is merely a technology platform provider in respect of last mile delivery, connecting last mile delivery partner and seller. Accordingly, service fee from seller and last mile delivery partner is recognized as revenue in respect of last mile delivery.
ii) Mall fees
Mall Fee consists of commission, forward shipping charges and reverse shipping charges recovered from the sellers. Commission is charged as a percentage of the sale price for each successful transaction made through the mall platform. Forward shipping charges and reverse shipping charges represents revenue generated from shipping charges recovered from sellers upon successful delivery of goods.
iii) Advertisement revenue
Advertisement revenue is derived principally from the display of online advertisements which is run on the platform. Revenue from advertising is recognised based on the number of clicks on the online platform of the Company. Due to the short nature of the credit period given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract.
iv) Return and RTO Assurance Program
The Return and RTO Assurance Program is a stream of revenue designed to offer sellers a way to manage and control their return percentages effectively by offering financial predictability and protection against unforeseen return-related expenses. The fee charged is a percentage of the sale revenue and is recognised at a point in time.
v) Discounts to Platform end consumers
The Company provides order related discounts to the end consumers to promote transactions on its platform. For all transactions the Company is not responsible to provide any services to these platform end consumers or does not receive consideration from the platform end consumers. Thereby, the Company does not consider the user as a customer and hence the discounts extended to these platform users are recorded as expenses.
j) Other income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Effective interest is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Other income primarily comprises interest income on fixed deposits, certificate of deposits and changes in fair value and gains/(losses) on disposal of financial instruments classified as FVTPL.
k) Foreign currency transactions
Functional and presentation currency: Items included in the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the functional currency). The Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupee (Rs.). For each entity the Company determines the functional currency and items included in the Standalone Financial Statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. All amounts have been rounded off to two decimal places to the nearest millions, unless otherwise indicated.
i) Transactions and balances: Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in profit or loss in the separate financial statements of the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. In the financial statements that include the foreign operation and the reporting entity, such exchange differences are recognised initially in OCI. These exchange differences are reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.
ii) Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is
@or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
inancial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency ^y^yperinlMtoiMry e a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translatea^m^^^^ji|^|(on
les are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet.
• income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and » all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
I) Income taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
i. Current 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 the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognised outside the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (either in OCI or in equity in correlation to the underlying transaction). Management periodically evaluates whether it is probable that the relevant taxation authority would accept an uncertain tax treatment that the Company has used or plan to use in its income tax filings, including with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions, where appropriate. The Company shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either most likely method or expected value method, depending on which method predicts better resolution of the treatment. Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the Standalone Balance Sheet after offsetting advance tax paid and current tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction and where the relevant tax paying units intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided 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 and assets are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences, except:
» when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or when deferred tax liability or asset arises on an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
• in respect of taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiary and associates, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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 utilized. 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 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 the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (either in OCI or in equity in correlation to the underlying transaction).
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.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each reporting date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reliably measured.
