2. Material Accounting Policies
a. Statement of Compliance:
The Standalone Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") and the relevant provisions and amendments, as applicable.
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.
b. Basis of Preparation of Standalone Financial Statements:
The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under historical cost method and accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the considerations given in exchange for goods and services. 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 in to account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these Standalone Financial Statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 102, leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.
c. Use of Estimates
The preparation of Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management of the Company to make judgement, estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of Standalone Financial Statements, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the Standalone Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised, and future periods are affected.
d. Fair value measurement
The Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1,2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in activemarketsforidenticalassetsorliabilitiesthatthe entity can access at the measurement date.
- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
e. Current versus Non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. The Company classifies an asset as current asset when:
- it expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
- it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
- it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is 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 classified as current when -
- it expects to settle the liability, or intends to buy it, in its normal operating cycle;
- it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
- the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification
The Company as required by Ind AS 1 presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/non-current classification. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. The Company's normal operating cycle in respect of operations relating to the construction of real estate projects may vary from project to project depending upon the size of the project, type of development, project complexities and related approvals. Operating cycle for all completed projects business is based on 12-month period. Assets and liabilities have been classified into current and non-current based on their respective operating cycle.
f. Inventories
Inventory is valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. Inventory comprises of stock of raw material, completed properties for sale and properties under construction (Work in Progress). Work in Progress comprises cost of land, development rights, construction and development cost, cost of material, services and other overheads related to projects under construction.
Net realizable Value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less its estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
g. Cash & Cash Equivalent
Cash and cash equivalent 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.
h. Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible assets and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment at their initial recognition are stated at their cost of acquisition. On transition to Ind AS, the Company had elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment at the previous GAAP carrying value (deemed cost). The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost, if capitalization criteria
are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that incremental future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Any remaining carrying amount of the cost of the previous inspection is derecognised. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred. The Company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part have a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset.
Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible assets are measured at actual cost net of accumulated depreciation/ amortization and net of accumulated impairment.
The estimated useful lives and residual values of the Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
i. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Currently the company has not identified any Intangible assets other than goodwill to have indefinite life.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life. The useful economic life and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Gains or losses arising from de recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.
j. Revenue Recognition
• Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue from real estate projects is recognized on the Point in Time Method of accounting as per Ind AS 115, when:
- The seller has transferred to the buyer all significant risks and rewards of ownership and the seller retains no effective control of the real estate unit to a degree usually associated with ownership.
- The seller has effectively handed over the possession of the real estate unit to the buyer forming part of the transaction.
- No significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived from real estate unit sales; and
- It is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection of revenue from buyers.
Further, for projects executed through joint development arrangements not being jointly controlled operations, where in the land-owner/ possessor provides land and the Company undertakes to develop properties on such land and in lieu of land owner providing land, the Company has agreed to transfer certain percentage of constructed area or certain percentage of the revenue proceeds, the revenue from the development and transfer of constructed area/ revenue sharing arrangement in exchange of such development rights/ land is being accounted on gross basis on launch of the project.
The revenue is measured at the fair value of the land received, adjusted by the amount of any cash or cash equivalents transferred. When the fair value of the land received cannot be measured reliably, the revenue is measured at the fair value of the estimated construction service rendered to the land owner, adjusted by the amount of any cash or cash equivalents transferred. The fair value so estimated is considered as the cost of land in the computation for the purpose of revenue recognition.
• Revenue from maintenance and other services
Facility charges, management charges, project management fees, rental, hire charges, sub lease and maintenance income are recognized on accrual basis as per the terms and conditions of relevant agreements.
• Revenue from sale of Land
Revenue from sale of land and development rights is recognized upon transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership of such real estate/ property, as per the terms of the contracts entered into with buyers, which generally coincides with the firming of the sales contracts/agreements.
Revenue from sale of land and development rights is only recognized when transfer of legal title to the buyer is not a condition precedent for transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer.
• Other Income
Interest income is accounted on an accrual basis on a time proportion basis. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive is established.
k. Cost of Construction / Development
Cost of constructed/ developed properties and projects, includes cost of land (including cost of development rights/ land under agreements to purchase), estimated internal development costs, external development charges, borrowing costs, overheads, construction costs and development/construction materials, which is charged to the statement of profit and loss based on the revenue recognized as explained in accounting policy for revenue from real estate projects above, inconsonance with the concept of matching costs and revenue.
l. Advance Paid towards Land Procurement
Advances paid by the Company to the seller/ intermediary towards outright purchase of land is recognized as land advance under other assets during the course of obtaining clear and marketable title, free from all encumbrances and transfer of legal title to the Company, whereupon it is transferred to land stock under inventories. Management is of the view that these advances are given under normal trade practices and are neither in the nature of loans nor advance in the nature of loans.
m. Employee Benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, gratuity and compensated absences.
• Short-term employee benefits:
Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as 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 recognized during the year.
• Post-employment benefits:
- Defined contribution plans:
Contributions to the provident fund, which is defined contribution scheme, are recognized as an employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the contribution is due. Contributions are made in accordance with the rules of the statute and are recognized as expenses when employees render service entitling them to the contributions.
- Defined benefit plans:
Gratuity:
The Company accounts its liability for future gratuity benefits based on actuarial valuation, as at the balance sheet date, determined every year by an independent actuarial using the projected unit credit method. Obligation under the defined benefit plan is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate that is determined by reference to the prevailing market yields at the balance sheet date on government bonds.
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in the Statement of profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
- Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
- Net interest expense or income; and
- Remeasurement
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in statement of profit or loss in the line item 'Employee benefits expense' Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
A liability for a termination benefit is recognized
at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs.
n. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to real estate project development activities are inventorized/ capitalized as part of project cost.
Borrowing costs are inventorised / capitalized as part of project cost when the activities that are necessary to prepare the inventory / asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Borrowing costs are suspended from inventorization / capitalization when development work on the project is interrupted for extended periods and there is no imminent certainty of recommencement of work.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
o. Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. 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.
• The Company as lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
• The Company as lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease
commencement date. The right-of-use assets is initially measured at cost which includes the initial amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of- use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising
from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is re-measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of assets (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). Lease payments on short-term leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
p. Earnings Per Share
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with Ind AS-33 on 'Earnings per Share' Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all diluted potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
q. Current and Deferred Taxes Current Tax
Tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to/ recovered from the tax authorities, based on estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemption in accordance with the local tax laws existing in the respective countries.
Deferred Tax
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purpose.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets 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 by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:
The Company has a legally enforceable right to set offcurrent tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
Current and deferred tax for the year:
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
r. Impairment
• Financial assets (other than at fair value)
The Company assesses at each date of the balance sheet whether a financial asset or a Company of financial assets is impaired.
Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes life time expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
• Non-financial assets
Property, Plant & Equipment and Intangible assets (PPE&IA)
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset maybe impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
