Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense in Statement of Profit and loss.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events.
Contingent assets disclosed in respect of possible asset that may arise from past event and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events.
(m) Revenue recognition Sale of goods - Wholesale
Sales are recognised when the control of the goods has been transferred to customer which is generally on delivery of goods and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, risk of obsolescence and loss have been transfer to customer and the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for the acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
Sale of goods - retail
The Company operates a chain of retail stores. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Company sells a product to the customer. Payment of transaction price is generally due immediately when the customer purchases the goods and takes delivery in store.
Service income
Sale of services - Revenue is recognised based on actual service provided at the end of the reporting period as proportion of total service to be provided.
Other operating revenue - Export incentives
(l) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Export incentives under various schemes of Government of India are accounted on accrual basis on the basis of exports made and when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions and incentive will be received.
(n) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term 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.
(ii) Post-employment obligations Defined Benefits Plan Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined 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. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The net interest cost is calculated by actuary 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 as calculated by actuary are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as past service cost.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company pays Provident Fund (PF) contributions, Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESIC) etc., to publicly administered 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 benefits expense when they are due.
(iii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. An actuarial valuation is obtained at the end of reporting period. The present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet, if the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(o) Foreign currency transactions
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
transactions in foreign currencies are recognised at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction dates. Realised gains and losses on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at the year-end are translated at the year-end exchange rates and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(p) Derivative and hedging activities
Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. the accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated.
the Company designates their derivatives as hedges of foreign exchange risk associated with the cash flows of firm commitment transactions (sales orders/purchase orders) (cash flow hedges).
the Company documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items. the Company documents its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions at the inception of each hedge relationship.
the full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than or equal to 12 months.
Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting -
the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the other comprehensive income in cash flow hedging reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge.
When forward contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company designates them in entirety as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to effective portion of fair value of forward contracts are recognised in the other comprehensive income in the cash flow hedging reserve within other equity.
When the option contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company designates only the intrinsic value of the option contract as the hedging instrument.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to statement of profit and loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss i.e. when the underlying sales or purchase transaction occurs.
The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derivative Contracts other than cash flow hedges:
Derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges, are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in Statement of Profit and Loss.
(q) Income tax
The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate 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 of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. 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 group 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.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the standalone financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax assets is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are off set where the company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(r) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
- the profit attributable to owners of the company
- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
- the after income tax effect ofinterest and otherfinancing costs associatedwith dilutive potential equity shares, and
- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.
(s) Segment Reporting:
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker(CODM). The CODM, being the Managing Director assesses the financial performance and position of the Company and makes strategic decisions.
(t) Impairment of non-financial assets:
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other
assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(u) Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all the attached conditions.
(v) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of de-recognition.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet.
(w) Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024 to amend the following Ind- AS which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st April 2024. the Company has applied these amendments for the first time in the Standalone Financial Statements.
i) Ind As 116, Leases
The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which amended Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to lease liability in a sale and leaseback transaction.
The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. the amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2024 and must be applied retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.
the application of Ind AS 116 had no impact on the Company’s Standalone Financial Statements as the Company has not entered any contracts in the nature of sale and leaseback covered under Ind AS 116.
ii) ind As 117, insurance Contracts
The Ministry of corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notified the Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024, which is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2024.
Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104 Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features; a few scope exceptions will apply.
The application of Ind AS 117 had no impact on the Company’s Standalone Financial Statements as the Company has not entered any contracts in the nature of insurance contracts covered under Ind AS 117.
iii) New standards and amendments issued but not effective
There are no such standards which are notified but not yet effective.
iv) The other amendments to Ind-AS notified by these rules are primarily in the nature of clarifications.
3 Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which by definition will seldom equal the actual results.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the standalone financial statements.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgement are:
- Estimation of Defined benefit obligation (Refer Note 41).
- Recoverability of deferred tax assets (Refer Note 37).
- Allowance for doubtful debts (Refer Note 14 and 45).
- Fair value of Investment properties (Refer Note 5)
- Direct tax litigations (Refer Note 39)
- Determination of lease term (Refer Note 4(c))
- Impairment of non-financial assets (Refer Note 2(u))
- Provision for Inventory Obsolescence (Refer Note 2(h) and 12)
The total cash outflow for leases for the year ended March 31, 2025 was Rs. 2,123.38 Lakhs (March 31, 2024 Rs. 2,134.44 Lakhs) (including short term and variable lease payments).
(iii) Variable Lease Payments
Certain property leases contain variable payment terms that are linked to sales generated from a store. For individual stores, up to 100% of lease payments are on the basis of variable payment terms with percentages ranging from 10% to 30% of sales. Variable payment terms are used for a variety of reasons, including minimising the fixed costs base for newly established stores. Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in statement of profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs.
A 50% increase in sales across all stores in the company with such variable lease contracts would increase total lease payments by approximately Rs. 82.36 lakhs (March 31, 2024 Rs. 91.48 lakhs).
(iv) Extension and termination options
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property leases across the Company. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company’s operations. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Company and not by the respective lessor.
(v) Critical judgments in determining the lease term
I n determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended.
For leases of retail stores, the Company considers factors such as historical lease durations, the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset.
41 Post retirement benefit plans I. Defined Benefit Plan - Gratuity:
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service, subject to a ceiling of R20 Lakhs. the gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognised funds in India.
As per Actuarial Valuation as on March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, amounts recognised in the Standalone financial statements in respect of Employee Benefits Scheme:
H. Risk Exposure - Asset Volatility
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments is in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk and the fund manages interest rate risk derivatives to minimize risk to an acceptable level.
IE Compensated absences
the compensated absences obligations cover the Company’s liability for leave, which is actuarially valued at each year end by applying the assumptions referred in ‘E’ above.
The amount of the provision of R53.88 lakhs (as at March 31, 2024: R57.29 lakhs) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of these obligations.
in. Details of Defined Contribution Plan
The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident and other funds in India for employees as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund, ESIC, etc. which are administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the year towards defined contribution plan are R352.20 lakhs (Previous year R332.49 lakhs) in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
42 In accordance with Accounting Standard Ind AS 108 ‘Operating Segment‘, segment information has been given in the consolidated financial statements of Zodiac Clothing Company Limited, and therefore, no separate disclosure on segment information is given in these standalone financial statements.
44 Fair Value Measurement:
(i) Financial Instrument by category and hierarchy.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. Fair value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other current financial assets, current loans, trade payables and other current financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
The fair values for loans (security deposits) were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counter party credit risk. the interest rate on term deposits is at the prevailing market rates. Accordingly, fair value of such instrument is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
the interest rate on borrowing is at the prevailing market rates. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
45 Financial Risk Management:
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 Management.
(A) 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, future committed transactions, foreign currency receivables, payables, borrowings etc.
The Company manages market risk through its finance department (headed by CFO), which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The finance department recommend 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 like foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts, borrowing strategies and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.
market risk- Interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the Company’s position with regards to 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, which could vary on either side based on current interest rates scenario.
According to the Company interest rate risk exposure is only for floating rate borrowings. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
market risk- foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales, purchases etc. in various foreign currencies. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and the Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward contracts and option contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
(ii) The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases in the net asset value (NAV) / fair market value (FMV) of Company’s investment in venture capital fund units and statement of profit and loss for the year arising from portfolio of investment in venture capital funds. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NAV / FMV has increased by 10% or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company’s venture capital funds moved in same direction.
(B) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of incurring a loss that may arise from a borrower or debtor failing to make required payments. Credit risk arises mainly from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposit with banks, derivative financial instruments, investments, loan to employee and security deposits. The Company manages and analyses the credit risk for each of its new customers before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposit with banks, derivative financial instruments and investment is limited as Company generally deals with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual and accredited venture fund.
While loans and security deposits for rental premises are subjected to the impairment requirement of Ind AS 109, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.
(i) Credit risk management:
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instrument, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, 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 informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.
Sale to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major cards, mitigating credit risk. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk, whether through exposure to individual customers, specific industry sectors or regions.
In respect of sales to export customers, there are no past history of losses, thus the identified expected credit loss was immaterial.
Credit risk for domestic trade receivable is managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and periodic monitoring of the creditworthiness of its customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Significant estimates and judgements:
Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provision for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about the risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(C) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company’s finance department maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.
*The foreign exchange forward contracts and option contract are denominated in the same currency as the firm commitment (sales order/purchase orders), therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1.
The Company’s hedging policy only allows for effective hedge relationships to be established. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The Company enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged items, and so a qualitative assessment of effectiveness is performed.
46 Capital Management:
The Company aim to manages its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to the shareholders.
The capital structure of the Company is based on management’s judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. We consider the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manage the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Company’s policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.
The Company’s management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders.
