These elected investments are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the reserves. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments. These investments in equity are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium or long term strategic purpose. Upon the application of Ind AS 109, the Company has chosen to designate these investments as at FVTOCI as the Company believes that this provides a more meaningful presentation for medium or long-term strategic investments, than reflecting changes in fair value immediately in profit or loss. Dividend income received on such equity investments are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets where no significant increase in credit risk has been observed are considered to be in ‘stage 1’ and for which a 12 month ECL is recognized. Financial assets that are considered to have significant increase in credit risk are considered to be in ‘stage 2’ and those which are in default or for which there is an objective evidence of impairment are considered to be in ‘stage 3’. Lifetime ECL is recognized for stage 2 and stage 3 financial assets.
There is no case which will be categorized under Stage 2 and Stage 3 hence ECL is not recognized during the year.
