52.10 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events 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 of the amount of obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements.
52.11 Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the
recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest Company of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.
52.12 Income Recognition
(i) Interest Income:
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is disclosed as interest income within other income. Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as part of other income.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
(ii) Dividends:
Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
(iii) Lease income:
Lease income from operating leases where the company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.
(iv) Foreign exchange gains and losses :
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting year. For foreign currency denominated financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and fair value through profit and loss (“”FVTPL””), the exchange difference are recognised in statement of profit and loss. “
52.13 Employee benefits provision
A Short-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
B Long-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by the employees up to the reporting date.
(i) Share-based compensation
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting year, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.
(ii) Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, if any. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
(iii) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
52.14 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Company operates under single segment of 'Kitchen and Home Appliances'.
52.15 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing statement of profit and loss attributable to equity shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the reporting year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each year presented.
52.16 Rounding of Amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest million as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated. Amount mentioned as “0” in the financial statements denote amounts rounded off being less than INR five lakhs and the sign (-) indicates that the amounts are Nil.
53 As on March 31, 2025, the Company has undisputed provident fund dues aggregating to Rs. 0.42 relating to few employees to be remitted to the Provident Fund Department (“Department”). Such amounts outstanding for more than six months as at balance sheet date aggregates to Rs. 0.35. These employees were unable to clear the KYC registration formalities with the Department due to which the Company was unable to make the remittances.
54 In November 2023, the Income Tax Department carried out a search operations at the Company's various business premises under Section 132 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The Company made the necessary disclosures to the stock exchanges regarding the search operations.
Subsequently, the Company has received notices under section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for assessment years 2019-20 and 2020-21. In response to the notice for AY 2020-21 the Company has filed revised return incorporating certain adjustments that do not materially impact the financial position or results. However, for AY 2019-20, the Company has opted not to submit a revised return, as no changes to the previously reported information are anticipated.
Further, the Company has received notices under section 142(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the assessment years 2020-21, 2022-23 and 2023-24 for which the Company has responded. As on date the Company has received orders u/s 143(3) and demand notice u/s 156 for the Assessment years 2020-21, 2022-23 and 2023-24 demanding additional tax aggregating to Rs. 13.5 million. The Company has filed appeals for the AY 2022-23 and 2023-24 and has filed rectification request for AY 2020-21. The management believes that the adjustments made are either erroneous or non-appreciative of submissions / evidence produced. For the assessment years 2019-20, 2021-22 and 2024-25 the Income Tax Department is yet to conclude on the assessment proceedings.
In the view of the Management the search operations and the assessment/ reassessment for various assessment years are not likely to have any material adverse impact on the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the performance for the year ended on that date.
55 Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting dated May 21, 2025, have recommended a final dividend of Rs.3.00 per share. This payment of final dividend is subject to approval of shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting.
56 Previous year's figures have been re-grouped/reclassified, wherever necessary, to conform to current year's classification/disclosure. However there have been no material regroupings/reclassifications.
