1.10 Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets
A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a
present obligation as a result of past event and it is
probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable
estimate can be made. Provisions are measured at the
present value of management's best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligations at
the end of the reporting period. If the effect of the time
value of money is material, provisions are discounted
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the changes in the provision due to
the passage of time are recognised as finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the case of:
a) a present obligation arising from the past events,
when it is not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation;
b) a present obligation arising from the past events,
when no reliable estimate is possible; and
c) a possible obligation arising from past events,
unless the probability of outflow of resources is
remote.
Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed in
the financial statements when an inflow of economic
benefit is probable.
1.11 Employee benefits
A. Defined contribution plans
Retirement benefit in the form of contribution to
provident fund and pension fund are charged to
statement of Profit and Loss.
B. Defined benefit plan (funded)
Gratuity is the nature of a defined benefit plan.
Provision for gratuity is calculated on the basis of
actuarial valuation carried out at reporting date
and is charged to statement of profit and loss.
The actuarial valuation is computed using the
projected unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial
gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling,
excluding amount included in net interest on the
net defined benefit liability and the return on plan
assets (excluding amount included in net interest
on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised
immediately in the Balance Sheet with a
corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings
through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re¬
measurement is not reclassified to profit or loss in
subsequent periods.
C. Other employee benefits (unfunded)
Leave encashment is recognised as an expense
in the statement of profit and loss account as and
when they accrue. The Company determines the
liability using the projected unit credit method
with actuarial valuations carried out as at balance
sheet date.
1.12 Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods and services
The Company derives its revenue from sale of
manufactured goods & traded goods primarily from
steel segment and also from royalty services in respect
of franchisee arrangement. The Company recognises
revenue from sale of products & services at a time
when performance obligations are satisfied and upon
transfer of control of promised products and services
to the customer as per the contract, in an amount that
reflects the consideration, the Company expects to
receive in exchange for their products or services. The
Company disaggregates the revenue based on nature
of products.
The revenue from sale of goods and services is net of
variable consideration on account of various discounts
and schemes offered by the Company.
Royalty income is recognised as per the contract when
the goods are sold by the franchisee.
Sale of Power is recognised as per the agreement rates
as per contract based on the unit produced.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the EIR method.
The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a
financial asset. When calculating the effective interest
rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows
by considering all the contractual terms of the financial
instruments (for example, prepayment, extension, call
and similar options) but does not consider the expected
credit loss.
1.13 Taxes on income
Income tax expenses comprise current tax expenses
and the net change in the deferred tax asset or
liabilities during the year. Current and deferred tax
are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except
when they relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which
case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity
respectively.
Current tax
The Company provides current tax based on the
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 applicable to
the Company.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet
approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognised for deductible and taxable temporary
differences arising between the tax base of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amount.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable
temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, the carry forward of unused
tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax
assets are recognised 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 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 tax asset
to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re¬
assessed at each reporting date and are recognised
to the extent that it has become probable that future
taxable profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be
recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the
tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realized or liability is settled, based on tax rates
(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially
enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside
profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either
in other comprehensive income (loss) or in equity).
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset
if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax
assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred
taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.
1.14 Leases
In accordance with Ind AS 116, the Company
recognises right of use assets representing its right
to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the
lease commencement date. The cost of right of use
asset measured at inception shall comprise of the
amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before
commencement date less any lease incentive received
plus any initial direct cost incurred and an estimate
of cost to be incurred by lessee in dismantling and
removing underlying asset or restoring the underlying
asset or site on which it is located. The right of use asset
is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if
any, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease
liability. The right of use assets is depreciated using the
straight-line method from the commencement date
over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right of
use asset. The estimated useful lives of right of use
assets are determined on the same basis as those of
property, plant and equipment. Right of use assets are
tested for impairment whenever there is any indication
that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in statement of
profit and loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date of lease. The lease payments are
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease,
if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot
be readily determined, the Company uses incremental
borrowing rate.
The lease liability is subsequently re-measured by
increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest
on lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to
reflect the lease payments made and re-measuring
the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or
lease modification or to reflect revised-in-substance
fixed lease payments. The Company recognises
amount of re-measurement of lease liability due to
modification as an adjustment to write off use asset
and statement of profit and loss depending upon the
nature of modification. Where the carrying amount
of right of use assets is reduced to zero and there is
further reduction in measurement of lease liability, the
Company recognises any remaining amount of the re¬
measurement in statement of profit and loss.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements
of Ind AS 116 to short term leases of all assets that have
a lease term of 12 months or less unless renewable on
long term basis and leases for which the underlying
asset is of low value. The lease payments associated
with these leases are recognised as an expense over
lease term.

managed by the senior management of the Company supervised by the Board of Directors to minimize potential adverse
effects on the financial performance of the Company.
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise lease liabilities, trade payables, security deposits received, other payables
etc. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company’s operations. The Company’s
principal financial assets include investments, trade receivables, unbilled revenue, cash and cash equivalents etc. that derive
directly from its operations.

credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. The Company monitors the
payment track record of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
Credit risk from cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is considered immaterial in view of the credit worthiness of
the banks, the Company works with. The Company has specific policies for managing customer credit risk on an ongoing
basis; these polices factor in the customer’s financial position, past experience and other customer specific factors.

Loans, security deposit paid and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company results in
material concentration of credit risk.
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 makes provision for doubtful debt or writes off, when a debtor fails
to make contractual payments based on provisioning matrix. When loans or receivables have either been provided for
or written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. When
recoveries are made, these are recognised in statement of profit and loss. The Company has followed expected credit loss
(ECL) model to provide for provision for ECL allowance.
2) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash and another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is
to ensure as far as possible that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal
and stressed condition, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short-term, medium-term and long-term
funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves,
banking facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash fows, and by matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities.

while optimizing the returns.
