The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision effects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future years. The company's functional currency and presentation currency is Indian Rupees (INR). All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are in lacs except otherwise indicated.
Classification of Assets and Liabilities into current and Non-Current : The Company presents its assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
As asset is treated as current when it is :
a) expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
b) held primarily for the purpose of trading;
c) expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
d) cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is treated as current when :
a) it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
c) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
d) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liabilty for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the company has ascertained its operating cycle being a period within twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Material Accounting Policies
1. Property, plant and equipment
(i) Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost, net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebates less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any, and the company uses cost model as per Ind AS-16. The cost of Tangible assets comprises its purchase price, borrowing cost, any other cost directly attributable to bringing the assets into present location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Management, initial estimation of any de - commissioning obilgations and finance cost.
(ii) Depreciation : Depreciation on Fixed Assets is provided on Written Down Value Method over their useful lives and in the manner specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act,2013. Property, Plant & Equipmet which are added/disposed off during the year the depreciation is provided on pro rata basis with reference to month of addition/deletion. Leasehold assets is amortised over the period of lease.
The useful life of major components of Property, Plant and Equipment is as follows :-

(iii) Component Accounting : When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognizes the replaced part, and recognizes the new part with its own associated useful life and it is depreciated accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
(iv) Expenditure during construction/erection period is included under Capital Work-in-Progress and is allocated to the respective fixed assets on completion of construction/ erection.
(v) Property, plant and equipment are eliminated from financial statement, either on disposal or when retired from active use. Losses arising in the case of retirement of Property, plant and equipment and gains or losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of occurrence.
(vi) The assets” residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
(vii) Capital work in progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment which are not ready for their intended use.
2. Intangible assets :
(i) Intangibles assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible Assets are stated at cost which includes any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are capitalized at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 5 years.
(ii) Software:- Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
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. Intangibles assets with indefinite useful lives (like goodwill, brands), if any are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite useful life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite life is made on prospective basis.
3. Investment Properties :
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or capital appreciation or for both but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in production or supply of goods or services or for other administrative purposes. Investment properties are initially measured at cost including transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or impairment loss if any. Depreciation on investment properties are provided over the estimated useful life and is not different than useful life as mentioned in schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. The investment property of the company consists of land/plot therefore not depreciated.
Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognised.
Though the company measures investment properties using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment properties is disclosed in the notes. Fair value are determined by using circle rates of the concerned registration authority.
4. Inventories :
Raw materials, Packing material, Stores and spares are valued at lower of cost (on a first in first out basis) and net realisable value.
Stock in process is valued at lower of cost (on a first in first out basis)and net realisable value.
Finished goods are valued at cost (on a first in first out basis) or net realisable value whichever is lower. Cost for this purpose include direct materials, direct labour utilities, variable direct costs and manufacturing overheads, based on the normal operating capacity and depreciation.
5. Cash and cash equivalents :
a) Cash and cash equivalents are financial assets. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and shortterm highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and are carried at cost plus accrued interest.
For the purpose of the statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered as an integral part of the Company's cash management.
b) Cash Flow Statement : Cash Flow are reported using indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for effects of transactions of 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 of the company are segragated.
c) Bank Balances Other than above : Dividend Escrow account balance, deposit with bank as margin money for guarantees issued by bank, deposits kept as security deposit for statutory authorties are accounted as bank balance other than cash and cash equivalent.
6. Financial instruments :
A financial instrument is any contract that at the same time gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments are recognized as soon as the company becomes a contracting party to the financial instrument. In cases where trade date and settlement date do not coincide, for non-derivative financial instruments the settlement date is used for initial recognition or derecognition, while for derivatives the trade date is used. Financial instruments stated as financial assets or financial liabilities are generally not offset; they are only offset when a legal right to set-off exists at that time and settlement on a net basis is intended.
7. Financial assets :
Financial assets include trade receivable, cash and cash equivalents, equity / debt instruments held. Initially all financial assets are recognised at amortised cost or fair value through Other Comprehensive Income or fair value through Statement of Profit or Loss, depending on its business model for those financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Subsequently, based on initial recognition/ classification, where assets are measured at fair value, gain and losses are either recognised entirely in the statement of profit and loss (i.e. fair value through profit or loss), or recognised in other comprehensive income (i.e. fair value through other comprehensive income).
(a) Trade receivables : Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less credit loss/impairment allowances.
Receivables that do not bear interest or bear below market interest rates and have an expected term of more than one year are discounted with the discount subsequently amortized to interest income over the term of the receivable.
Impairment is made on the expected credit loss model, which are the present value of the cash deficits over the expected life of receivables. The estimated impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Subsequent changes in assessment of impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as changes in estimates.
The company makes provision for expected credit loss against trade receivables based on the simplified approach (i.e. the loss allowance is measured as the amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses).
(b) Loans & other financial assets : Loans and other financial assets are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and other financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
8. Financial Liabilities :
Financial liabilities such as loans and borrowings and other payables are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. Financial liabilities other than fair valued through profit and loss are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Transaction costs of financial liability carried at fair value through profit or loss is expensed in profit or loss. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are settled or cancelled or expired.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss :
It include financial liabilities held for trading and are designated such at initial recognition. Financial liabilities are held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in near term and also include Derivatives that are not part of an effective hedge accounting in accordance with IND AS 109 , classified as “held for trading” and carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at each reporting date at fair value with all the changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost :
Post recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method ("EIR"). Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Loans and Borrowings :
After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down.
Trade and other payables :
A payable is classified as 'trade payable' if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods purchased or services received in the normal course of business. Trade accounts payable and other non-derivative financial liabilities are in general measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Finance charges, including premiums payable on redemption or settlement, are periodically accrued using the effective interest method and increase the liabilities' carrying amounts unless they have already been settled in the period in which they were incurred.
9. Impairment of non-financial assets :
At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the non-financial asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Recoverable amount is determined:
• In the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the Fair Value less cost to sell and the value in use: and
• In the case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows) at the higher of cash generating unit's fair value less cost to sell and the value in use.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual non-financial asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the smallest cash generating unit to which the non-financial asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of a non-financial asset or cash generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the non-financial asset or cash generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the statement of Profit and Loss. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the non-financial asset or cash generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, this increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for that nonfinancial asset or cash generating unit in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of Profit and Loss.
10. Revenue recognition :
The company derives revenue from sale of manufactured goods and traded goods. In accordance with Ind AS 115, the company recognises revenue from sale of products and services at a time when performance obligation is satisfied and upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for their products or services. The company disaggregates the revenue based on nature of products/Geography.
Interest Income : For all Financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income on unsecured loans are accounted for on accrual basis.
11. Employees Benefits :
(a) Short term employee Benefit :
All employees' benefits payable wholly within twelve months rendering services are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized during the period in which the employee renders related service.
(b) Defined Contribution Plan :
Contributions to the Employees' Provident Fund and Employee's State Insurance are recognized as Defined Contribution Plan and charged as expenses in the year in which the employees render the services.
(c) Defined Benefit Plan ( Unfunded) :
The Leave Encashment and Gratuity are defined benefit plans. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measure each unit separately to build up the final obligation. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses , excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability , are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not classified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods. Past Service cost is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period of plan amendment. Net Interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
• Service costs comprising current service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine Settlements.
• Net interest income or expense.
(d) Long term Employee Benefit :
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
(e) Termination benefits :
Termination benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
The Company shall recognise a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates :
(a) when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and
(b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of Ind AS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits.
12. Borrowing costs :
(a) Borrowing costs that are specifically attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as a part of the cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
(b) For general borrowing used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined by applying a capitalization rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalization rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Company that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized during a period does not exceed the amount of borrowing cost incurred during that period.
(c) All other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred.
13. Leases :
In accordance with IND AS 116, the Company recognizes right of use assets representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of right of use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payment made at or before commencement date less any lease incentive received plus any initial direct cost incurred and an estimate of cost to be incurred by lessee in dismentling and removing underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right of use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment lossess, if any, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liability. The right of use assets is depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right of use asset. The estimated useful lives of right of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right of use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, Impairment loss, if any, is recognized in statement of profit and loss. The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modification or to reflect revised-in-substance fixed lease payments, the company recognizes amount of remeasurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to right of use assets and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of right of use assets is reduced to zero and there is further reduction in measurement of lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in statement of profit and loss.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of IND AS 116 to short term leases of all assets that have a lease term of twelve month or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense over lease term.
14. Government Grants :
Grants and subsidies from the Government are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant / subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions are complied with. Government grants relating to income are determined and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period necessary to match them with the cost that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are reduced from the cost of the assets.
15. Taxes on income :
Income Tax expenses comprise current tax expenses and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liabilities during the year. Current and Deferred tax are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity respectively.
Current Tax : The Company provides current tax based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 applicable to the Company.
Deferred Tax : Deferred tax is recognised using the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. 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 utilised.
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 that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets 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 liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
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.
16. Provisions, Contingent liabilities, Contingent assets and Commitments :
(a) General : The Company recognizes provisions for liabilities and probable losses that have been incurred when it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a financing cost.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of :
• A present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation :
• A present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible :
• A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote. Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in financial statement when an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
(b) Other Litigation claims :
Provision for litigation related obligation represents liabilities that are expected to materialise in respect of matters in appeal.
17. Exceptional Items :
On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the company, such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying to the financial statements.
18. Earnings per share :
Basic Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit from continuing operations and total profit, both attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. In case there are any dilutive securities during the period presented, the impact of same is given to arrive at diluted earning per share.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the net profit for the year attributable to the shareholder' and weighted average number of equity and potential equity shares outstanding during the year including share options, convertible preference shares and debentures, except where the result would be anti-dilutive. Potential equity shares that are converted during the year are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, from the beginning of the year or date of issuance of such potential equity shares, to the date of conversion.
19. Segment accounting :
The company's business falls within a primary business segment viz .” Manufacturing of Laundry Soap, Detergent Powder and Cake, which is the only segment .
20. Financial statement classification :
Certain line items on the balance sheet and the statement of profit and loss have been combined. These items are disclosed seprately in the notes to the financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year presentation to confirm to that of the current year. In general the company classifies assets and liabilities as current when they are expected to be realised or settled with in twelve months after the balance sheet date
21. Fair value measurement :
The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives and certain investments, at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either :
• 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 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.
A fair value measurement of a non- financial asset takes in to 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, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole;
• 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.
• Level 3- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the balance sheet on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
22. Use of judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the company's financial statements required management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Uncertainity about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment in the future periods in the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other other key sources of estimation uncertainity at the end of reporting period that may have significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities with in :-
a) Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets : The company has estimated useful life of the Property, Plant and Equipment as specified in Schedule II to Companies Act 2013. However, the actual useful life for individual equipments could turn out to be different, there could be technology changes, breakdown, unexpected failure leading to impairment or complete discard. Alternately, the equipment may continue to provide useful service well beyond the useful assumed.
b) Lease : The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualities to be a lease as per the requirements of IND AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgement. The company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In exercising whether the company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease or to exercise an option to terminate the lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the company to exercise the option to extend the lease or to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The company revises lease term, if there is change in non-cancellable period of lease. The discount rate used is generally base on incremental borrowing rate.
c) Fair value measurement of financial instruments : When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities cannot be measured based on quoted process in active market, the fair value is measured using valuation techniques including book value and discounted cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not possible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values.
d) Impairment of financial and non-financial assets : The impairment provisions for the financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the input for the impairment calculations, based on Company's past history, existing market conditions, technology, economic developments as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
e) Taxes : Taxes have been paid / provided, exemptions availed, allowances considered etc. are based on the extent laws and the company's interpretation of the same based on the legal advice received wherever required. These could differ in the view taken by the authorities, clarifications issued subsequently by the government and court, amendments to statues by the government etc.
f) Defined benefit plans : The cost of defined benefit plans and other post-employment benefits plans and the present value of such obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future.
g) Provisions : The Company makes provisions for leave encashment and gratuity, based on report received from the independent actuary. These valuation reports use complex valuation models using not only the inputs provided by the Company but also various other economic variables. Considerable judgement is involved in the process.
h) Contingencies : A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligations at the end of the reporting period. However, the actual liability could be considerably different.
