N) PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, for
which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economics benefits will be required to
settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made. When the Company expects a provision to
be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when reimbursement is
virtually certain.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation
that may probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present
obligation the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
O) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity.
I. Financial Assets
a. Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets
not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the
acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery
of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place
[regular way trades] are recognized on the settlement date, trade date, i.e., the date that the
Company settle commits to purchase or sell the asset.
b. Subsequent measurement:
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
i. Debt instruments at amortized cost:
A ‘debt instrument' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are
met:
- The asset is held with an objective of collecting contractual cash flows
- Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
are “solely payments of principal and interest” [SPPI] on the principal amount
outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest rate [EIR] method. 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 in finance income in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the
profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
ii. Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income [FVTOCI]:
A ‘debt instrument' is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
- The asset is held with objective of both - for collecting contractual cash flows and
selling the financial assets
- The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as
at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other
comprehensive income [OCI]. However, the Company recognizes interest income,
impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the Statement
of Profit and Loss. On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously
recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income
using the EIR method.
iii. Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit
or loss [FVTPL]:
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not
meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as
at FVTPL. Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair
value with all changes recognized in the P&L.
iv. Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
[FVTOCI]:
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity
instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognized by
an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS103 applies are classified as
at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable
election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair
value. The Company has made such election on an instrument by- by instrument basis.
The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company
decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on
the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling
of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of investment.
However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity
instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all
changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c. Derecognition:
A financial asset is primarily derecognized when:
i. The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has
assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay
to a third party under a ‘pass-through' arrangement; and either [a] the Company has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or [b] the Company has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but
has transferred control of the asset.
ii. the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has
entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has
retained the risks and rewards of ownership.
d. Impairment of financial assets:
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss [ECL] model for
measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit
risk exposure:
a. Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g.,
loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
b. Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash
c. Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
d. Lease receivables under Ind AS 17
e. Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL
The Company follows ‘simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance
on Point c and d provided above. The application of simplified approach requires the
company to recognize the impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each
reporting date, right from its initial recognition. For recognition of impairment loss on other
financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that 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 reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on
12-month ECL.
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 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.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss
allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically
observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for
forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are
updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.
ECL impairment loss allowance [or reversal] recognized during the period is recognized
as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss. The balance sheet presentation for
various financial instruments is described below:
a. Financial assets measured as at amortized cost, contractual revenue receivables
and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance which reduces the net
carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce
impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
b. Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial assets are already reflected
at fair value, impairment allowance is not further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL
amount is presented as ‘accumulated impairment amount' in the OCI.
II. Financial liabilities:
a. Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as
hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are
recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net
of directly attributable transaction costs.
b. Subsequent measurement:
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
i. 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. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into
by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships
as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as
held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or
losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss
are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS
109 are satisfied for liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable
to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are not
subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative
gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized
in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability
as at fair value through profit and loss.
ii. Loans and borrowings:
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized
in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR
amortization process. 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 statement of profit and loss.
iii. Financial guarantee contracts:
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require
a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified
debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt
instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair
value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the
guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss
allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount
recognized less cumulative amortization.
c. Derecognition:
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged
or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from
the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition
of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
P. Reclassification of financial assets:
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial
recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial
liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a
change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected
to be infrequent. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively
from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following
the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses
[including impairment gains or losses] or interest.
Q. Offsetting of financial instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
R. Fair Value Measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet
date. 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. The fair value measurement
is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place
either:
a. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
b. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The Company
uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the
use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted [unadjusted] market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
33 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business
strategies. The company's financial risk management policy is set by the Managing Board.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change
in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in
the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market
risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including
investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loan borrowings.
The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent
control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk
management objectives and policies, which are approved by Senior Management and the Audit Committee.
The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies
for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and
policies.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the company's position with regards to the interest
income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive
corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial
instruments in its total portfolio.
The company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the specified reporting date.
Foreign currency risk
The Company operates locally, however, the nature of its operations requires it to transact in several currencies
and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in various foreign currencies.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and the Company
follows established risk management policies.
I. Foreign Currency Exposure
Refer other notes for foreign currency exposure as at March 31,2024, March 31,2023 respectively.
II. Foreign Currency Sensitivity
1% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates will have the following impact on the profit before
tax
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.
To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account
the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts
receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been
a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether
there is significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset
at the reporting date with the risk of default as the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and
supportive forwarding-looking information such as:
(i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
(ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty.
(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's
ability to mere its obligation,
(iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty.
(v) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party
guarantees or credit enhancements.
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing
to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. The Company categorises a loan or receivable for write off
when a debtor fails to make contractual payments greater than 2 years past due. Where loans or receivables
have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the
receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity Risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time
or at reasonable price. The company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as
settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior
management. Management monitors the company's net liquidity position through rolling forecast on the basis
of expected cash flows.
Maturity profile of financial liabilities
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the
reporting date based on contractual undiscounted payments.
Capital management
For the purposes of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity
reserves. The primary objective of the Company's Capital Management is to maximise shareholder value.
The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic
environment and the requirement of the financial covenants.
(b) Defined benefit plans
- Gratuity
-Compensated absences - Earned leave
In accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 19, actuarial valuation was done in respect of the
aforesaid defined benefit plans based on the following assumptions-
Economic Assumptions
The discount rate and salary increases assumed are the key financial assumptions and should be
considered together; it is the difference or ‘gap' between these rates which is more important than the
individual rates in isolation.
Discount Rate
The discounting rate is based on the gross redemption yield on medium to long term risk free
investments. The estimated term of the benefits/obligations works out to zero years. For the current
valuation a discount rate of 7.09% p.a. (Previous Year 7.29 % p.a.) compound has been used.
Salary Escalation Rate
The salary escalation rate usually consists of at least three components, viz. regular increments, price
inflation and promotional increases. In addition to this any commitments by the management regarding
future salary increases and the Company's philosophy towards employee remuneration are also to be
taken into account. Again a long-term view as to trend in salary increase rates has to be taken rather
than be guided by the escalation rates experienced in the immediate past, if they have been influenced
by unusual factors.
