j) Provisions and Contingencies:
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate 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.
Onerous Contracts:
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs 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. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in the notes to accounts. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises due to past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised but their existence is disclosed in the financial statements.
k) Foreign Currency:
Functional Currency:
Items included in the financial statements of Company is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency'). These Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees (INR), which is Company's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and Translations:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such translations are included in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the transaction.
Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which transaction is settled. Exchange differences on account of conversion of foreign operations are also recognized as income or as expense in the year in which they arise. Revenue and expense items pertaining to foreign operations denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the monthly weighted average exchange rate of the respective currencies. The gains or losses resulting from such transactions are included in exchange loss/ gain under the head “Other Expenses” or under the head “Other Income” respectively in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
l) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable
to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
n) Income taxes:
Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss for items recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Income tax relating to items recognised outside the Statement of Profit and Loss is recognised outside the Statement of Profit and Loss (either in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) or in Equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transactions either in OCI or directly in equity.
Current 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 for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis ofthe tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to
situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
n) Deferred Tax:
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the Balance Sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income taxes are not provided on the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and branches where it is expected that the earnings of the subsidiary or branch will not be distributed in the foreseeable future.
The company has adopted lower tax rate as prescribed u/s 115BAA from the FY 20-21 onwards.
o) Statement of Cash Flows:
The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared under the ‘Indirect method' as set out in Ind AS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows', whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effect of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Statement of Cash Flows comprise cash at bank and in hand and fixed deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
p) Dividends:
The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders, and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
q) Lease:
Where the company is a lessee:
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments.
(i) Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable.
(ii) Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date.
(iii) Amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees.
(iv) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
(iv) Lease payments to be made under an extension option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option, and
(v) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
(i) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
(ii) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
(iii) Any initial direct costs
(iv) Restoration costs
r) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Company’s operations predominantly relate to software validation and verification services relating to banking and financial services and insurance industry and accordingly, this is the only primary reportable business segment. The segment sales information is provided on a geographical basis classified as India and the rest of the world.
s) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
t) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid in line with agreed timelines. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
