(xii) Financial Instruments
Financial assets - Initial recognition
Financial assets ore recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the Instruments. Financial assets other than trade receivables are initially recognised ot fair value plus transaction costs for ail financial assets not carried ai fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised of fair value, ana transaction costs are expensed in the statement ot profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement
Financal ossets. other than equity instruments, are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive Income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of: a the entity's business model for managing the flnancal assets; and
b. the contractualcash flow characteristics of the financial asset
(i) Measured at amortised cost:
A financial asset Is measured ot amortised cost, If It is held under rne hold to collect business model i.e. hold with an objective ot holding the assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding, Amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest rote (EiR) method by taking into account any discount or prem.um on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part ot the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included In interest Income In the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from Impairment are recognised In the statement ot profit and loss. Or derecognition, gain or loss. If any. is recognised to statement of profit ond loss
(ii) Measured at fair voiue through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):
A financial asset is measured at FVOCI. if it is held under the hold to collect and sell business model i.e held with an objective to collect contractual cash flows and selling such financial asset and the contractual cash flows ere solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding It is subsequently measured at fair value with fair value movements recognised in the OCI. except for interest Income which recognised using effective Interest rate method, the losses arising from impairment are recognised ir. the statement of profit and toss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised In the OO is reclassified from the equity to statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
Investment in financial asse' other than equity instrument, not measured at either amortised cost or FVOCI is measured of FVTPL Such financial assets are measured at fair va ue with all changes In fair value. Including interest Income and dividend Income If any, recognised In the stolernent of profit and loss
Equity Instruments:
All investments In equity instruments if any classified under financial assets are suosequentiy measured at fair value.
the Company recognises a loss allowance for Expected Credit Losses (fcCL) on financial assets that ore measured at amortised cost and at FVOCI ihe credit loss is difference Detween an contractual cash flows that ere due to an entity In accordance with the contract and aa the cosh flows that the entity expects to receive (he. all cosh shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. This is assessed on an Individual or collective basis offer 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 lecervables is measured ot an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e expected cash shortfall, being simplified opprooch for recognition of impairment loss allowance.
Under simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in cred't risk Rather it recognizes impairment lass allowance based on the lifetime Expected Credit Losses ot each reporting date right from its initial recognition. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment toss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables.
The provision matilx is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and Is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting dote. Ihe hrsto'ical observed default rates ore updated and changes in the forword looking estimates are analysed.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, the Company recognises 12 month 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 iosses are measured os lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. If. In a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer significant Increase in credit risks since initial recognition, then ihe Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 months Expected Credit Losses
The impairment losses and reversals are recognised In statement of profit and loss. For equity instruments and financial assets measured at FVTPL. there Is no requirement for impairment testing
De-recognition
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 cosh flows from an asset. it eva-uates if and to whot 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 Ihe asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise 1he transferred asset to the extent ot the Company's continuing involvement.
In that case. The Company also recognises an associated liafc irry. 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
Inlttal Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when rhe Company becomes a pahy to the contractual provisions of the instruments Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value 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 borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative Instruments.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost aro subsequently moasurod at using EIR method, rinoncla' liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss oremeasured 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 measurea at amortised cost using EiR method. Gains and losses ore recognized In profit & loss wnen the nobilities ore derecognized as well as through Elf? amortIzotion process.
Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company ore those contracts that 'equ.res o payment to be made or to reimburse the holder for a loss il incurs because the specified debtors foils to make payment when due in accordance with trie term of a debt Instrument Financial guarantee contracts ore recognized initially os a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs ihot are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee
Subsequently, the liability s meosured ol the higher of the omount of toss oltowonce determined os per impairment requirements of Ind AS i 09 and the omount recognized less cumulative adjustments.
De-recognition
A financial liability is de-recognssed when the obligation under the liability is discharged or canceled or expires. When an existing financial Mobility Is replaced by another trom the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated os the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new Mobility. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and toss
Derivative financial instruments & hedge accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward foreign exchange 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 remeasured at fair vatoo. with changes in fair value recognised in statement of piofit and loss.
Derivatives are carried as financial assets wt%en the fair value is positive and as fmoncial "abilities when the fair vo ue s negative. The Company designates their derivatives as hedges of foreign currency risk associated with the cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions and variable interest rate risks associated with the borrowings.
(xili) Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures financial Instruments, such as. derivatives a: fair va ue at each balance sheet date, rair value is the price that would oe received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a tiablftty in an orderly transaction between market participants ct 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
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• 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 bo accessible by thcCompany
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using Ihe assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. assuming thot market participants act In their economic best 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 soiling it to another market participant that would use the assot in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate m the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising ihe use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by vaiuatlor tecnnrque:
Level I: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or i-abiiities
Level 2: Other techniques for which all Inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fa>r value are cbseivabie. either directly or Indirectly
Level 3. techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements an a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between eves In the hierarchy by re assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level Input that Is significant to Ihe fair value measurement as a whole) at Ihe end of each reporting period.
For the pjipose 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.
