Provisions and Contingent Assets / Liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the outflow required to settle the present obligation 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 increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the case of:
• 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;
• a present obligation arising from the past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;
• 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 benefits is probable.
S. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
I. Financial assets
A. Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset [other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)] are added to the fair value of the financial assets. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
B. Subsequent measurement:
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the following categories:
(i) Debt instruments at amortised cost
A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
(ii) Debt instruments included within the fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) Equity instruments
All equity instruments within the scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are classified as held for trading are measured at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to measure the same either at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or FVTPL except investment in subsidiaries which is valued at cost. The Company makes such selection on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
For equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss on sale of such instruments.
iv) Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
C. De-recognition:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a
part of a financial asset or part of a group
of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either:
(i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
(ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
D. Impairment of financial assets:
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables and other advances. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss on these financial assets. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
II. Financial liabilities
A. Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as:
(i) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
(ii) loans and borrowings, payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs or
(iii) derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including derivative financial instruments.
B. Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends
on their classification, as described below:
(i) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs.
Borrowings are removed from the Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished and the consideration paid is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as other gains / (losses).
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender has agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.
(ii) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial period which
are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within twelve months of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within twelve months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract isentered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Hedge accounting:
The Company designates certain hedging instruments which include derivatives, embedded derivatives and non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
C. De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the
obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial
liability is replaced by another, from the same
lender, on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
III. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following
judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
(a) Operating lease commitments - Company as lessor;
(b) Assessment of functional currency;
(c) Evaluation of recoverability of deferred tax assets
Estimates and assumptions
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets;
b) Fair value measurements of financial instruments ;
c) Impairment of non-financial assets;
d) Taxes;
e) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits);
f) Provisions;
g) Revenue recognition - Khazana Coupon scheme, etc.
h) Valuation of inventories;
i) Contingencies
