Note 1(b): Basis of preparation and presentation A General information and statement of compliance
These standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS') prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) and relevant rules thereafter, including the presentation and disclosure requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Act and the guidelines
issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India ('SEBI'), to the extent applicable. The accounting policies for the years ended 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 are consistent.
All amounts included in the standalone financial statements are reported in Indian Rupees ('INR') in lakhs, unless otherwise stated and rounded up to two decimals. Further, "0" denotes amounts less than fifty thousand rupees.
These standalone financial statements are separate financial statements of the Company under Ind AS 27 "Separate Financial Statements" ('Ind AS 27').
B Basis of preparation
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention and on an accrual and going concern basis, except for the following material items that have been measured at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS:
i. Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value (refer accounting policy on financial instruments);
ii. Defined benefit and other long-term employee benefits;
iii. Derivative financial instruments; and
iv. Asset and liabilities included in disposal group held for distribution are measured at lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.
C Use of estimate and judgment
The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the
most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements is included in the following notes:
(i) Income tax: Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income tax, including the amount expected to be paid or recovered in connection with uncertain tax positions.
(ii) Deferred tax: Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards become deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realisable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
(iii) Defined benefit plan and compensated absences:
The cost of the defined benefit plan, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligations are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, average future service and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
In case of compensated absences, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations
(iv) Property, plant and equipment: The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of the PPE's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its useful life. The useful lives and residual values
of the Company's assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The estimated useful lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life. Depreciation of PPE is calculated on straight line method and written down value method, as applicable to different classes of asset, over the useful life estimated by the management either based on technical evaluation or those prescribed under schedule II of the Act.
Intangible assets: The charge in respect of periodic amortisation is derived after determining an estimate of the expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its useful life. Amortisation of intangible assets is calculated on straight-line basis over the useful life estimated by the management which reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated.
(v) Provisions: Provisions are recognised when the Company 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 (excluding defined benefit plan and compensated absences) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
(vi) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets: The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets. The carrying amount of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal and external factors. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying value exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and risk specific to the assets. An impairment loss is charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. After impairment, depreciation or amortisation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
(vii) Contingent liabilities: Contingent liability is possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from the past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Initially, Company makes an assessment of whether a transaction is to be disclosed as contingent liability or to be recorded as provision. Also at each balance sheet date, basis the management judgement, changes in facts and legal aspects, the Company assesses the requirement of provisions against the outstanding contingent liabilities. However, the actual future outcome may be different from this judgement.
(Viii) Impairment of investment in/ receivables from subsidiaries, associates and joint venture (specifically Raymond UCO Denim Private
Limited): Determining whether the investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are impaired requires an estimate in the value in use of the investments. The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried 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. In considering the value in use, the Board of Directors have anticipated the future market conditions and other parameters that affect the operations of these entities. The Company uses judgement to select from variety of methods and make assumptions which are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
(ix) Revenue from real estate project under development: The Company reviews forecasts of total budgeted costs for changes in work scopes and other payments to the extent they are probable and they are capable of being reliably measured at the end of each reporting period.
(x) Inventory write down: The Company reviews the allowance for defective and obsolete items inventory, wherever necessary at the end of each reporting period. .
(xi) Share-based payments: The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognised as employee benefits expense, with corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the option. The increase in equity recognised in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in equity under “stock options outstanding account”. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the impact of the revision estimates based on number of options that are expected to vest, in the standalone statement of profit and loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
(xii) Leases: Ind AS 116 ""Leases"" requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily available, an incremental borrowing rate is applied.
This incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar nature and value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires estimation.
(xiii) Fair value measurement : Management applies valuation techniques to determine fair value of financial assets and liabilities (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions around volatility and dividend yield etc. which may affect the value of financial assets and liabilities.
(xiv) Control and significant influence : Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence. If a Company holds, directly or indirectly through intermediaries, 20% or more of the voting power of the enterprise, it is presumed that the Company has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. Also, the fact that the Company does not have significant influence in an enterprise can be demonstrated through following conditions:
(i) The Company does not have any representation on the board of directors or corresponding governing body of the investee.
(ii) The Company does not participate in policy making process.
(iii) The Company does not have any material transactions with the investee.
(iv) The Company does not interchange any managerial personnel.
(v) The Company does not provide any essential technical information to the investee.
Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated. These are based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
D Summary of material accounting policy information
(i) 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 (i.e., the “functional currency”). The standalone financial statements are presented in INR, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company.
(ii) Foreign currency transactions and translations
Foreign currency transactions of the Company are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date whereas non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency monetary items and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
(iii) Financial instruments
a. Initial recognition and measurement
The Company recognises financial assets and liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets (except trade receivables and contract assets) and financial liabilities are recognised at fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular purchase and sale of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. Further, trade receivables and contract
assets are measured at transaction price on initial recognition.
b. Subsequent measurement
Non derivative financial instruments
(a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset 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.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income ('FVOCI')
A financial asset is subsequently measured at FVOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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.
(c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL')
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(d) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
Derivative instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments i.e., foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. No hedge accounting is applied to these instruments, which are carried at fair value with changes being recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Compound financial instruments
Preference shares, which are nonconvertible and redeemable on a specific date, are classified as compound financial instruments.
The fair value of the asset portion is determined using a market interest rate. This amount is recorded as a asset on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on redemption of the preference shares. The remainder of the proceeds is attributable to the equity component of the compound instrument. This is recognised and included in deemed equity investment, net of income tax effects, and not subsequently measured.
c. De-recognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual right to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.
d. Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance
sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the group or the counterparty.
(iv) Current versus non-current classification
(i) An asset is considered as current when it is:
a. Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle, or
b. Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
c. Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d. Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(ii) All other assets are classified as non-current.
(iii) Liability is considered as current when it is:
a. Expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle, or
b. Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
c. Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(iv) All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
(v) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
(vi) All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's
operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and services 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 as twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
(v) Property, plant and equipment ('PPE')
The cost of PPE as at the Company's date of transition to Ind AS, was determined with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost).
PPE (other than freehold land) are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Historical costs include expenditure directly attributable to acquisition which are capitalised until the PPE are ready for use, as intended by management, including non refundable taxes. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
An item of PPE initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from disposals of assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying value of the asset on the date of disposal and are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss, in the period of disposal.
The cost of an item of PPE shall be recognised as an asset if, and only if:
(a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company; and
(b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Items such as spare parts are recognised as PPE when they meet the definition of PPE. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventory.
The Company depreciates PPE over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method ('SLM') and written down value method ('WDV'), as applicable. Depreciation on factory buildings, specific non-factory buildings, plant and equipment and aircrafts is provided on SLM and remaining assets are depreciated on WDV method. Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of lease or estimated useful life, whichever is lower. The estimated useful lives of PPE for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
|
Class of asset
|
Estimated useful life
|
|
Factory buildings
|
30 years
|
|
Non-factory buildings
|
60 years
|
|
Plant and equipment
|
7 - 24 years
|
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
10 years
|
|
Office equipment
|
5 years
|
|
Vehicles
|
8 years
|
|
Boat and water equipment
|
13 years
|
|
Aircraft
|
11 - 20 years
|
In case of certain PPE (plant and equipment and aircraft) included in above table, the Company uses useful life different from those specified in Schedule II of the Act which is duly supported by technical evaluation. 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.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
Depreciation on addition to PPE or on disposal of PPE is calculated pro-rata from the month of such addition or up to the month of such disposal as the case may be. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.
Capital work-in-progress includes PPE under construction and not ready for intended use as on the balance sheet date. Capital Work-in-progress includes expenditure incurred till the assets are put into intended use. Capital Work-in-Progress are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
(vi) Investment properties
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment properties. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and borrowing costs where applicable. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount 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.
Transfers to (or from) investment property are made only when there is a change in use. Transfers between investment property, owner-occupied property and inventories do not change the carrying amount of the property transferred and they do not change the cost of that property for measurement or disclosure purposes.
The cost of investment properties as at the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was determined with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost).
Investment properties are depreciated using the WDV method over their estimated useful lives. Useful life considered for calculation of depreciation for investment properties is as follows:
|
Class of asset
|
Estimated useful life
|
|
Non-factory buildings
|
60 years
|
(vii) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost of acquisition which includes purchase price including import duties and nonrefundable taxes, if any and further includes directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. Computer software is amortised on a SLM basis over the estimated useful economic life which is expected as 3 years. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The amortisation of an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated. The estimated useful life of amortisable intangibles are reviewed and where appropriate are adjusted, annually.
An item of intangible asset initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset on the date of disposal and are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
Amortisation on addition to intangible assets or on disposal of intangible assets is calculated pro-rata from the month of such addition or up to the month of such disposal as the case may be.
Intangible assets under development are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any.
(viii) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Company as a lessee
The Company’s lease asset class consists of leases for land and buildings (retail stores and warehouses). The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right of use (‘ROU’) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (shortterm leases) and leases of low value assets. For these short-term and leases of low value assets, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease arrangements may include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less
any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU’) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liabilities and ROU assets have been separately presented in the standalone balance sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a
finance or operating lease by reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease. For operating leases, rental income is recognised on a straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
(ix) Impairment of assets
(a) Non-financial assets
Intangible assets, ROU assets and PPE are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the standalone statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. For impairment of inventory, refer accounting policy of “Inventories”.
(b) Financial assets
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments” requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all trade receivables and contract assets that do not constitute a financing component. In determining the loss allowances for trade receivables and contract assets, the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and allowance rates used in the provision matrix. For all other financial assets, expected loss allowance are measured at an amount equal to the 12-months expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the lifetime credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward looking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 60 days past due (inclusive of additional 30 days over and above 30 days rebuttable presumption, where the delay could be due to administrative oversight which is considered normal in the industry and/ or geographies where Company is operating).
For impairment of investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, refer accounting policy of “"Investment in subsidiary, associate and joint venture””.
(x) Investment in subsidiary, associate and joint venture
Investment in subsidiary, associate and joint venture is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investment in subsidiary, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
(xi) Employee benefits
a. Long-term employee benefits Defined contribution plan
The Company has defined contribution plan for post employment benefits in the form of provident fund, employees’ state insurance, superannuation fund and labour welfare fund. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company has no further obligation beyond making the contributions. Such contributions are charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss as incurred.
Defined benefit plan Gratuity and pension
The Company has defined benefit plan for post employment benefits in the form of gratuity and pension for its employees in India. Liability for defined benefit plan is provided on the basis of actuarial valuations, as at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial valuation method used by independent actuary for measuring the liability is the projected unit credit method.
Actuarial gains or losses are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’). Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest
recognised in standalone statement of profit and loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognised as part of remeasurement of net defined benefit liability or asset through OCI.
Remeasurement comprising of actuarial gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset) are not reclassified to standalone statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Provident fund
In accordance with the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1952, for certain eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund plan in which both the employee and employer (at a determined rate) contribute monthly to “Raymond Limited Employee’s Provident Fund Trust”, a Trust set up by the Company to manage the investments and distribute the amounts to employees at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. This plan is a defined obligation plan as the Company is obligated to provide its members a rate of return which should, at a minimum, meet the interest rate declared by government administered provident fund. A part of the Company’s contribution is transferred to government-administered pension fund. The contributions made by the Company and the shortfall of interest, if any, are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss under “"Employee benefits expense””
Other long-term employee benefits
The employees of the Company are also entitled to other long-term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences as per the policy of the Company. Accumulated leave, which is
expected to be utilised within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long term employee benefit for measurement purposes. In case of compensated absences, the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. Thus, compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year end. Actuarial gains and loss are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss during the period in which they arise.
b. Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised in the year during which the employee rendered the services. These benefits include salary and performance incentives etc.
c. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of Ind AS 37 “Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12
months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
(xii) Share based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via “"Raymond Employee Stock Option Plan 2023"" (ESOP scheme). The fair value of options granted under the ESOP scheme is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
• including any market performance conditions (e.g., the entity’s share price)
• excluding the impact of any service and nonmarket performance vesting conditions (e.g., profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and
• including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g., the requirement for employees to serve or hold shares for a specific period of time).
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
The Company has created a Raymond Limited ESOP Trust for implementation of the said ESOP scheme. The Company treats the ESOP trust as its extension and shares held by ESOP Trust are treated as treasury shares.
The Company determines the compensation cost based on the fair value method using Black-Scholes-Merton formula and Monte Carlo Simulation model, in accordance with Ind AS 102 “Share-based Payment". The Company grants options to its employees which will be vested in a graded manner and are to be exercised within a specified period. The compensation cost is amortised on graded basis over the vesting period. The share based payment expense is determined based on the
Company’s estimate of equity instrument that will eventually vest.
The amounts recognised in “Share options outstanding account" are transferred to share capital and securities premium upon exercise of stock options by employees. Where employee stock options lapse after vesting, an amount equivalent to the cumulative cost for the lapsed option is transferred from “Share options outstanding account" to “General reserve".
(xiii) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made where there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from the past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Provisions are reviewed regularly and are adjusted where necessary to reflect the current best estimates of the obligation. Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, only when such reimbursement is virtually certain.
Contingent asset is not recognised in the standalone financial statements. However, it is recognised only when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(xiv) Borrowing costs
Borrowings are initially recognised at net of transaction costs incurred and measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the
redemption amount is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs majorly includes interest and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company ceases capitalising borrowing costs when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
(xv) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Goods-in-transit are stated at cost. The cost is determined based on FIFO, weighted average, or specific identification basis, as applicable, and includes all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition including nonrecoverable taxes. In the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, cost also includes costs of conversion.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The net realisable value is estimated and inventory is written down for defective and obsolete items, wherever necessary.
Property under development comprises cost of land, rates and taxes, construction costs, overheads and expenses incidental to the project undertaken by the Company. Costs towards development of property are charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss proportionate to area sold and when corresponding revenue is recognised.
(xvi) Income recognition
Revenue recognition
When a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company recognises as revenue the amount of the transaction price (which excludes estimates of variable consideration) that is allocated to that performance obligation. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contract with Customers” specifies five step model for revenue recognition:
1. Identify the contract with a customer;
2. Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract;
3. Determine the transaction price;
4. Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and
5. Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.
Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from all parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
Revenue is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss with the contracted price showing separately each of the adjustments made to the contract price and specifying the nature and amount of each such adjustment separately.
The lifestyle business of the Company derives revenues primarily from sale of manufactured goods, traded goods and related services. The Company is also engaged in real estate property development.
The Company satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
1. The customer simultaneously receives
and consumes the benefits provided
by the Company’s performance as the Company performs; or
2. The Company’s performance creates or
enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
3. The Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and an entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
For performance obligations where one of the above conditions are not met, revenue is recognised at the point in time at which the performance obligation is satisfied.
Sale of products and services (lifestyle business and civil aviation business)
The performance obligation of Company is satisfied at a point in time. Revenue recognition for sale of products and services is recognised at a point in time and revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of the performance obligation.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price (which is the consideration, adjusted to discounts, incentives and returns, etc., if any) that is allocated to that performance obligation. These are generally accounted for as variable consideration estimated in the same period the related sales occur. The methodology and assumptions used to estimate rebates and returns are monitored and adjusted regularly in the light of contractual and legal obligations, historical trends, past experience and projected market conditions.
The Company operates a loyalty programme for the customers and franchisees for the sale of goods. The customers accumulate points for purchases made which entitles them to discount on future purchases. A contract liability for the award points is recognised at the time of the sale. Revenue is recognised when the points are redeemed or on expiry. The expenditure of loyalty programme is netted-off to revenue.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, it does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
The Company collects goods and services tax (‘GST’) and other indirect taxes on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company and are accordingly excluded from the revenue.
Sale of products (real estate business)
Revenue from real estate property development is recognised over the time, from the financial year in which the entity’s right to payment for performance completed, is established. In determining whether an entity has right to payment, the entity shall consider whether it would have an enforceable right to demand or retain payment for performance completed to date if the contract were to be terminated before completion for reasons other than entity’s failure to perform as per the terms of the contract.
The revenue recognition of real estate property under development requires forecasts to be made of total budgeted costs with the outcomes of underlying construction contracts, which further require assessments and judgements to be made on changes in work scopes and other payments to the extent they are probable and they are capable of being reliably measured. However, where the total project cost is estimated to exceed total revenues from the project, the loss is recognized immediately in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Cost to fulfil the contracts
Recurring operating costs for contracts with customers are recognised as incurred. Revenue recognition excludes any government taxes but includes reimbursement of out of pocket expenses. Provision towards onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting the future obligations
under the contract. The provision is measured at present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract.
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. In such cases, Company applies practical expedient by recognising such cost as expense, when incurred, in the standalone statement of profit and loss instead of creating an asset as the amortisation period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognised is one year or less.
Significant financing component
Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether a contract contains a financing component and whether that financing component is significant to the contract, including both the conditions:
(a) the difference, if any, between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods or services; and
(b) the combined effect of both the
following conditions:
(i) the expected length of time between when the entity transfers the promised goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods or services; and
(ii) the prevailing interest rates in the relevant market.
Other operating revenue
It includes revenue arising from the Company’s ancillary revenue-generating activities. Revenue from these activities are recorded only when Company is reasonably certain of such income. Export Incentives under various schemes are accounted in the year of export.
Other income
Other income majorly comprises interest income which is recognised using the effective interest method and on time proportion basis. Rental income is recognised based on contractual terms. Dividend income is recognised only when the right to receive payment is established.
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
- the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
- the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Trade receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities
Trade Receivable, net is primarily comprised of billed receivables for which the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, net of loss allowance. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time, net of loss allowance. The promised amount of consideration is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between the transfer of the promised good or service and the payment is one year or less
Contract liabilities consist of advance payments. The difference between opening and closing balance of the contract liabilities results from the timing
differences between the performance obligation and customer payment.
The difference between opening and closing balance of the contract assets and liabilities results from the timing differences between the performances obligation and customer payment.
(xvii) Income tax
Tax expense for the year comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is measured by the amount of tax expected to be paid to the taxation authorities on the taxable profits after considering tax allowances and exemptions and using applicable tax rates and laws. Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the accounting base and the tax base for the year and quantified using the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date.
There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognises liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The uncertain tax positions are measured at the amount expected to be paid to taxation authorities when the Company determines that the probable outflow of economic resources will occur. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
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 in standalone financial statements, except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.
Deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent 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. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property is presumed to be recovered through sale.
Current tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.
(xviii) Exceptional items
When items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to assist users in understanding the financial performance achieved and in making projections of future financial performance, the nature and amount of such material items are disclosed separately as exceptional items.
(xix) Manufacturing and operating expenses and costs towards development of property
Manufacturing and operating expenses and costs towards development of property which are directly linked to respective activities, are disclosed separately as a part of ‘Other expenses’.
(xx) Asset held for sale/ distribution
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising of assets and liabilities are classified as ‘held for sale/ distribution’ when all the following criteria are met: (i) decision has been made to sell/ distribute, (ii) the assets are available for immediate sale/ distribution in its present condition, (iii) the assets are being actively marketed and (iv) sale/ distribution has
been agreed or is expected to be concluded within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Subsequently, such non-current assets and disposal groups classified as ‘held for sale/ distribution’ are measured at the lower of its carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. Once classified as held for sale/ distribution, intangible assets, PPE and investment properties are no longer amortised or depreciated
Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, or employee benefit assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Company’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale/ distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale/ distribution and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale/ distribution are presented separately from the other assets in the standalone balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale/ distribution are presented separately from other liabilities in the standalone balance sheet.
(xxi) Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company and which may:
- represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;
- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale/ distribution.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative standalone statement of profit and loss is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
(xxii) Recent accounting pronouncements
On August 13, 2025, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notified the amendments to the following standard:
Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
- Distinction between current and non-current liability. These amendments provide clearer guidance on classification of the liabilities as current and non-current liability by including the additional definition and considerations for classification of the liability. The amendments also provide additional disclosure requirements relating to material breach of long-term loan arrangement. The amendment relates to classification of the non-current and current bifurcation of long-term loan arrangement due to breach of covenants on or before the end of reporting period. Due to this, the loan is considered to be payable on demand and is classified as current liability, unless the lender agrees, by the end of the reporting period to provide a period of grace of at least twelve months after the reporting period within which the entity can rectify the breach and during which the lender cannot demand immediate repayment. The amendment is applicable from April 1, 2026. The Company is currently assessing the probable impact of amendments which are applicable in its annual financial statements.
Ind AS 7 - Cash flow statement - Supplier Financing Arrangement. These amendments include additional disclosure requirements for supplier financing arrangements relating to cash and non- cash changes (i.e. the effect of business combinations, exchange differences or other transactions that do not require the use of cash or cash equivalents) and disclosure relating to the terms and conditions related to the arrangement including disclosure of dissimilar terms separately along with carrying amounts in line items disclosed for which suppliers have received payments from financial institution and range of due dates. The amendment is applicable from April 1, 2025 with exemption to comparative period and interim periods in which entity first applies the amendments.
Ind AS 107 - Financial Instruments Disclosure -Additional disclosure relating to Supplier Financing Arrangement - The liquidity risk disclosure will also include the disclosure for supplier financing
arrangement which includes maturity analysis for supplier financing arrangement and a description of how the entity manages the liquidity risk inherent in Supplier Financing Arrangement.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes -Pillar Two - The amendment includes in the scope of the Ind AS 12 the income tax paid on pillar two model rules and disclosure for application of the exception additional disclosure relating to current income taxes related to Pillar Two income taxes and disclosure of known or reasonably estimable information that helps users of financial statements understand the entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation when Pillar two legislation is enacted but not yet effective. These disclosure shall be supported by qualitative and quantitative information. These amendments are effective from April 01,2025 but to be disclosed in annual financial statements.
