2.16 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions : Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation at the Balance sheet date. .
Contingent Liabilities : Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent Assets : Contingent assets are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
2.17 Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and Cash equivalents include cash, cheques on hand, cash at bank and short term deposits with banks having original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.18 Non-current Assets held for sale:
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use of the assets and actions required to complete such sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan to sell will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Also, such assets are classified as held for sale only if the management expects to complete the sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at their carrying amount as current market valuation is not available. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.
2.19 Statement of Cash Flows:
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method whereby profit / (loss) is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are seggregated based on the available information.
2.20 Earnings per Share:
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.21 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires that the management of the Company makes judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the reported balances of assets and liabilities and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The judgments, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to significant accounting estimates include useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment, allowance for doubtful debts/advances, deferred tax assets, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit plans, expected cost of completion of contracts, allowances for inventories, etc. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognised in the period in which the results are known.
(i) Useful lives and Impairment of property, plant and equipment
The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This re-assessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an
estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit 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. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
(ii) Allowance for doubtful debts/advances
When determining the lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
(iii) Deferred tax assets
Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. The amount of total deferred tax assets could change if estimates of projected future taxable income or if tax regulations undergo a change.
(iv) Employee Benefit Obligations
Employee benefit obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, employee benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
(vi) Allowance for Inventories
An inventory provision is recognised for cases where the realisable value is estimated to be lower than the inventory carrying value. The inventory provision is estimated taking into account various factors, including prevailing sales prices of inventory item and losses associated with obsolete / non-moving inventory items.
2.22 Recent Accounting Developments:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31st March, 2025, MCA has not
notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.
Nature & purpose of Reserve:
a) Capital Reserves (Other than Capital Contribution)
Created on forfeiture of equity shares and transfer of Debenture redemption reserve. It shall be utilised as per provision of the Companies Act, 2013.
b) Equity Component of Compound Financial Instruments
Equity Component of Compound Financial Instruments represent residual amount after deducting liability component from the fair value of the compound financial instrument.
c) Securities Premium Account
Created on conversion of convertible debenture and issue of equity shares. It shall be utilised as per provision of the Companies Act, 2013.
d) General Reserve
General Reserve is created out of the profit earned by the company by way of transfer from surplus in the statement of profit and loss. The company can use this reserve for payment of dividend and issue of fully paid up shares. As general reserve is created by transfer from surplus in the statement of profit and loss and is not an item of other comprehensive income, item included in general reserve will not be reclassified to statement of profit and loss.
a) Provident fund
In accordance with the Employee's Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees' salary. The contributions, as specified under the law, are made to the provident fund administered and managed by Government of India (GOI). The Company has no further obligations under the fund managed by the GOI beyond its monthly contributions which are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period they are incurred. The benefits are paid to employees on their retirement or resignation from the Company.
Contribution to Defined Contribution Plans, recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year under employee benefits expense, are as under :
(2) Defined Benefit Plans:
The Defined Benefit Plan is as below:
Gratuity (unfunded)
The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation for compensated absences is recognised in the same manner as gratuity.
The plan typically exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
Investment risk
The Probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment. . Interest risk
If the Discount Rate i.e the yield on the Government Bonds decrease in future, the Actuarial Liability will increase and vice versa.
The quantum of increase in valuation liability corresponding to specific decrease in the Discount Rate and vice versa, has been shown in the annexure containing the sensitivity Analysis of Key Actuarial Assumption. .
Longevity risk
If the Mortality rate experienced by the staff of a particular company is higher than what is assumed in mortality Table used in the valuation, the valuation liability will increase.
However, it will be very cumbersome to measure the quantum of increase for assumed reduction of Mortality rates as can be done in case of changes in salary Growth Rate and Interest Rate.
Salary risk
If the salary Growth Rate over the future years of services is increased, the Actuarial Liability will increase and vice versa. The quantum of increase in the valuation liability corresponding to specific increase in the salary growth rate and vice versa has been shown in the annexure containing Sensitivity Analysis of key Actuarial Assumption.
H. Sensitivity Analysis
The Sensitivity Analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible change of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. These sensitivities show the hypothetical impact of a change in each of the listed assumptions in isolation. While each of these sensitivities holds all other assumptions constant, in practice such assumptions rarely change in isolation and the asset value changes may offset the impact to some extent. For presenting the sensitivities, the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the Defined Benefit Obligation presented above. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in the preparation of the Sensitivity Analysis from previous year.
