1. Material Accounting Policies
This note provides a list of the material accounting policies adopted in preparation of these financial statement. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended. The Financial Statements have also been prepared in accordance with the relevant presentation requirements of the Companies Act, 2013.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
These Financial Statements are prepared in Indian Rupees (INR) which is also the Company's functional currency and all the values are rounded off to the nearest thousands/ lakhs (upto two decimals) except when otherwise stated.
The Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.
1.2. Use of Estimates
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those 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 affects only that period; they are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
1.3. Classification of Current and Non-Current
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification specified in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. An asset is treated as current when it is:
♦ Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
♦ Held primarily for the purpose of trading
♦ Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
♦ 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 current when:
♦ It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
♦ It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The company has identified twelve months as its - operating cycle.
1.4. Historical Cost Convention
The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain items that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies.
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
1.5. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the Property, Plant and Equipment are ready for use as intended by management.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is provided on written down value basis to allocate the cost of assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition/installation till the date the assets are sold or disposed of:
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. The carrying amount of an asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the carrying amount of the asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Asset costing Rs. 5,000/- or less are depreciated fully in the year of acquisition.
1.6. Impairment of Assets
The carrying amount of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to assess if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/ external factors. An impairment loss on such assessment will be recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets is net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. While assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value by using weighted average cost of capital. A previously recognised impairment loss is further provided or reversed depending on changes in the circumstances and to the extent that carrying amount of the assets does not exceed the carrying amount that will be determined if no impairment loss had previously been recognised.
1.7. Cash and cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short¬ term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
