Sunteck Realty Limited ("the Company") [CIN: L32100MH1981PLC025346] is primarily engaged in the business of real estate construction/ real estate development and incidental services.
The Company is a limited company, domiciled in India. The Company was incorporated on 1 October 1981 and has its registered office at 5th Floor, Sunteck Centre Subhash Road, Vile Parle (East) Mumbai. Maharashtra - 400057.
The Company's shares are listed on two recognised stock exchanges in India - the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange.
These standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2026 were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 April 2026.
2. Material accounting policy information
This note provides a list of the material accounting policy information adopted in the preparation of these standalone financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
a) Basis of preparation
The Company has prepared its standalone financial statements to comply in all material aspects with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended), and other relevant provisions of the Act and the presentation and disclosures requirement of Division II of Schedule III to the Act.
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention and accrual basis, except for the certain financial assets, financial liabilities, defined employee benefit obligations and share based payments, which are measured either at fair value or amortised cost.
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.
The Company's normal operating cycle in respect of operations relating to under construction real estate projects may vary from project to project depending upon the size and duration (from launch till occupation certificate period) of the project, type of development, project complexities and related approvals. Operating cycle for all completed projects and other business are based on 12 months period. Assets and liabilities have been classified into current and non-current
based on the operating cycle of respective businesses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (^), which is the functional currency and presentation currency of the Company. All financial information is presented in Indian rupees.
Management has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern considering lease rental inflows, expected project collections, monetization of completed inventory, available undrawn facilities and support from capital raised through warrants. Based on this assessment, the standalone financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and no material uncertainty has been identified.
The Company reviews its accounting policies annually to ensure alignment with changes in Ind AS, regulatory guidance, and evolving business practices. Significant policy judgments and estimates are reassessed at each reporting date.
b) Revenue recognition
(i) Revenue from real estate development/ sale, maintenance services, construction and project management services
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, in accordance with Ind AS 115.
The transaction price includes fixed consideration and variable consideration, such as escalation clauses, rebates, incentives, liquidated damages or cancellation charges, only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when uncertainties are resolved.
The Company satisfies the performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
• The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs; or
• The Company's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
• 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 any one of the above conditions are not met, revenue is recognized at the point in
time (completed contract basis) at which the performance obligation is satisfied. This assessment is performed project- by-project and is revisited upon significant modifications to customer contracts or project structures.
In case, revenue is recognized over the time, it is being recognized from the financial year in which the agreement to sell or any other binding documents containing salient terms of agreement to sell is executed. In respect of 'over the period of time', the revenue is recognized based on the percentage- of-completion method ('POC method') of accounting with cost of project incurred (input method) for the respective projects determining the degree of completion of the performance obligation.
The period over which revenue is recognized is based on entity's right to payment for performance completed. 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 Company bills to customers for construction contracts as per agreed terms. The Company adjusts the transaction price for the effects of the significant financing component included in the contract price in the case of contracts involving the sale of property under development, where the Company offers deferred payment schemes to its customers.
Revenue from construction services being cost plus contracts is recognised over time and is determined with reference to the extent performance obligations have been satisfied. The amount of transaction price allocated to the performance obligations satisfied represents the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus the margin as agreed with the customer.
The revenue recognition from sales of residential and commercial units and construction services requires forecasts to be made of total budgeted costs with the outcomes of underlying construction contracts, which further require assessments and judgments 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. In case, 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.
Revenue recognised in excess of amounts billed is presented as a contract asset, while amounts billed in excess of revenue recognised, including advances received from customers and deferred revenue, are presented as contract liabilities. Contract assets are assessed for impairment under the expected credit loss model in accordance with Ind AS 109.
(ii) Revenue from Joint Development Agreement (JDA)
For projects executed through joint development arrangements (JDA) not being jointly controlled operations, wherein the landowner provides rights to develop the land
and the Company undertakes to develop properties on such land and in lieu of landowner providing land, whereas the Company agrees to transfer certain percentage of constructed area or certain percentage of the revenue proceeds. Basis the terms and conditions of the JDA, the revenue from the development and transfer of constructed area/revenue sharing arrangement and the corresponding land/ development rights received under JDA is measured at either fair value of development rights or the fair value of the estimated construction service rendered to the landowner and the same is accounted on launch of the project. The fair value is estimated with reference to the terms of the JDA (whether revenue share or area share) and the related cost that is allocated to discharge the obligation of the Company under the JDA. Fair value of the construction is considered to be the representative fair value of the revenue transaction and land so obtained. The management is of the view that the fair value method and estimates are reflective of the current market condition. In case of JDA, wherein the Company agrees to transfer certain percentage of constructed area, revenue from construction services is recognised over time, on the basis of the inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation.
In case of joint development arrangements being jointly controlled operations, wherein the landowner and the Company jointly control the arrangement to develop the project and decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of both the parties sharing control, are accounted in accordance with Ind AS 111. Since both the parties have separate rights and obligation, the Company recognizes revenue proportionately to the extent of its share in the transaction price for its performance obligation.
c) Cost of construction and development
Cost of construction and development, includes cost of land (cost of development rights/ land under agreements to purchase) liaisoning costs, estimated internal development costs, external development charges, overheads, construction costs and development/ construction materials, which is charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss based on the revenue recognized as explained in policy under revenue recognition, in consonance with the concept of matching costs and revenue. Final adjustment is made on completion of the specific project.
"Costs to obtain contracts" such as brokerage fees paid for obtaining sales contracts, are recognized as assets when incurred and amortized over the period of time or at the point in time depending upon recognition of revenue from the corresponding property sale contract.
d) Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to deductible temporary
(financial liability) and are measured at fair value on initial recognition. The difference between the fair value and the nominal value of deposits is considered as rent in advance and recognized over the lease terms on straight line basis. Unwinding of discount is treated as interest expense (finance cost) for deposit received and is accrued as per the EIR method.
f) Inventories
Inventories comprising land, development rights, real estate projects under development and completed units held for sale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). Cost includes land cost, construction cost and directly attributable expenses. NRV estimation involves significant judgement based on market conditions, sales velocity and project-specific risks. Inventory write-downs to NRV are recognised as an expense in the period incurred. Reversals of such write-downs are recognised when the circumstances that caused the write-down no longer exist, to the extent permitted under Ind AS.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion (wherever applicable) and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. In case of completed inventory and work in progress, NRV determination incorporates expected selling
differences (in case of deferred tax assets) and taxable temporary differences (in case of deferred tax liabilities).
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on deductible and taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized for:
• temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction;
• The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re¬ assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and carry forward unused tax credits only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in standalone statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in OCI or directly in equity, respectively.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India which is likely to give future economic benefit in the form of availability of setoff against
future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as deferred tax assets in the standalone balance sheet when the assets can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realized
e) Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease at inception. As a lessee, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability at the commencement date.
Company as a lessee
At the date of the commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a corresponding lease liability for all the lease arrangements in which it is a lease, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases.
Lease liabilities are measured using the incremental borrowing rate determined based on the lease term, nature of the underlying asset and prevailing market borrowing rates. Variable lease payments not linked to an index or rate are expensed as incurred. The Company applies judgement in determining the lease term, particularly where contracts include extension or termination options.
The lease arrangements may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone price and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily comprise maintenance, security, facility management and other services and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as the related services are received. Where permitted under Ind AS 116, the Company may elect, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for them as a single lease component.
Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable period of the relevant lease in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the non-cancellable period on the same basis as rental income.
Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Company to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.
Lease deposits received are financial instruments
prices, project-specific market conditions, sales velocity and estimated selling costs.
g) Financial instruments(I) Classification
Financial assets, other than equity instruments, are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of both:
(a) the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in the standalone statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable policy choice at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
(II) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value, except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, which are measured at their transaction price in accordance with Ind AS 115. In the case of a financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are included in the initial measurement. Transaction costs relating to financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Measurement of loan instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
• Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
• Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual
cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to standalone statement of profit or loss and recognized in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
• Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in the standalone statement of profit or loss and presented net in the standalone statement of profit and loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Loans to subsidiaries are initially recognised at fair value. Where loans are granted at below-market terms, the difference between the transaction value and fair value is recognised as part of the investment in the subsidiary, where the funding is considered to be in the nature of long¬ term capital support.
Measurement of equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value except investment in subsidiary and joint venture. Where the Company's management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in the standalone statement of profit or loss as other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(HI) Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies the expected credit loss ("ECL") model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition Further, ECL are measured
incorporating historical experience, current conditions and forward-looking information, including macro-economic and sector-specific risks relevant to real estate operations. Management overlays are applied where historical data does not fully capture expected credit behaviour.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverses recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income /expense in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
(Iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when
• The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
• The Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
h) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at its fair value adjusted by directly attributable transaction costs.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss, financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition/construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of their costs.
Borrowing costs are considered as part of the asset cost when the activities that are necessary to construct the assets for their intended use by the management or sale are in progress.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense, in the period in which they are incurred.
When revenue is recognised on percentage of completion basis, the Company excludes such borrowing costs relating to the post-launch period from its estimates of the balance cost to completion, and the same is recognised as finance cost in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
j) Property, plant and equipment (including capital work in progress)
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of property, plant and equipment which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. Capital work in progress includes expenditure incurred till the assets are put to intended use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized 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 derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Items of property, plant and equipment that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are shown separately in the standalone financial statements. Any expected loss is recognized immediately in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment which are carried at cost are recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
k) Depreciation and amortisation
(I) Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. Freehold land is not depreciated.
(II) Depreciation on property, plant and equipment and investment property has been provided on pro-rata basis, on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, except for furniture and fixtures and air conditioner wherein based on technical assessment of management, useful life has been estimated to be different from that prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. Residual value is considered as 5% of the original acquisition cost of the assets.
(iii) Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company amortises computer software using the straight-line method over the period of 5 years.
The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation/ amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
l) Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/ or for capital appreciation, and not for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, or for sale in the ordinary course of business.
Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, in accordance with Ind AS 40. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized 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. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements and is determined at each reporting date by external registered valuers having appropriate professional qualifications.
The fair value is determined using generally accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow (DCF) models and/or market comparable approaches, as appropriate, having regard to the nature of the property. The fair value measurement of investment properties is categorised within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, depending on the observability of significant inputs used in the valuation. The Company applies significant judgement in assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions used by valuers, particularly in respect of unobservable inputs.
Investment properties are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Ind AS 36 whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable
Reclassification from/to investment property- 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.
