Provisions: Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation as 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 at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date and are not discounted to its present value.
Contingent Liabilities : Contingent liabilities are not provided for in the books but are disclosed by way of notes in the financial statements 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 neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions are transfer of resources or obligations between related parties, regardless of whether a price is charged. Parties are considered to be related, if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party of exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operating decisions. Parties are considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment. The Company is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks. However, Goods and Services tax (GST) are not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
The specific recognition criteria from various stream of revenue is described below:
Sale of Goods:
Revenue from sales is recognised when the substantial risks and rewards of ownership of goods are transferred to the buyer and the collection of the resulting receivables is reasonably expected. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Rendering of Services:
Revenue from services rendered is recognised when the work is performed and as per the terms of agreement.
Interest income:
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
TAXATION
Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the period. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the relevant prevailing tax laws.
Deferred tax is recognised for all the timing differences, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets, if any.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company’s earnings per share comprise the net profit after tax (and include post tax effect of any extraordinary items.) The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises of the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earning per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Staff benefits arising out of retirement/death comprising contributions to Provident Fund, Gratuity Scheme and other post separation benefits are accounted for on the basis of the schemes or by an independent actuarial valuation at the year-end as the case may be.
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation 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, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
BORROWING COST
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets (assets which require substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use) are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period for which they are incurred.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
FINANCIAL ASSETS
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
? Classification
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Company classifies financial assets in following categories:
• Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses, if any. Interest income and impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI). Changes in fair values are recognized in OCI and on de-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest income calculated using EIR and impairment loss, if any, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest income, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing for financial assets.
The Company de-recognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not de-recognised.
Any gain or loss on de-recognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognizing impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost, lease receivable, trade receivable other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial assets. For trade receivable, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to life time expected credit losses. Further, for the measuring life time expected credit losses allowance for trade receivable the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Indian AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on provisions, matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are initially measured at amortized cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit or loss. In case of trade payables they are initially recognize at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortized cost, using the Effective interest method.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial liabilities other than classified as FVTPL, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Any gain or loss on de-recognition is also recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
A financial liability is derecognized 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 subsequently different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are subsequently modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of the new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amount is recognize in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Non-Current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The Company classifies assets and operations as held for sale / distribution to owners or as discontinued operations if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale / distribution rather than through continuing use. Classification as a discontinued operations occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the below criteria, whichever is earlier.
Non-Current Assets are classified as held for sale only when both the conditions are satisfied -
1. The sale is highly probable, and
2. The asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such assets.
Non-current assets which are subject to depreciation are not depreciated or amortized once those classified as held for sale.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business, the operations of which can be clearly distinguished from those of the rest of the Company and
i) is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
ii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Non-current assets held for sale / distribution to owners and discontinued operations are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell / distribute. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale / distribution are presented separately in the balance sheet. The results of discontinued operations are excluded from the overall results of the Company and are presented separately in the statement of profit and loss. Also, the comparative statement of profit and loss is represented as if the operations had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
The management assessed that fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is 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:
i) Long-term fixed-rate receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into^ccountfortheexpectedtossesofthesereceivables.
ii) Fair values of the Company’s interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using DCF method using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non- performance risk as at March 31, 2024 was assessed to be insignificant.
iii) The fair values of the unquoted equity shares, if any have been estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, discount rate, credit risk and volatility, the probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity investments.
"32" Financial Risk Management
The Company’s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses foreign currency borrowings to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures.
[The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below: |
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counter parties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. In addition, receivable balances are monitered on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company's exposure to Bad debt is not significant. Also the Company does not enter into sales transaction with customers having credit loss history. There are no significant Credit risk with related parties of the Company. The Company is exposed to Credit risk in the event of non payment of customers. Credit risk concentration with respect to Trade Receivables is mitigated by the Company's large customer base. Adequate expected credit losses are recognised as per the assessment.
The history of Trade receivables shows an allowance for bad and doubtful debts of Rs Nil ( Nil as at March 31,2023). The Company has made allowance of Rs Nil ( Nil as at March 31,2024) against Trade receivable of Rs. 297.69 lacs ( Rs. 793.67 Lacs as at March 31,2023).
Bank Deposits
The company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits with reputed and highly rated bank. Hence, there is no significant credit risk onsuchdeposits.
Investments
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The company does not expect any losses from non- performance by these counter-parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk through credit limits with banks.
The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.
"34" Segment Information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM is considered to be the Board of Directors who makes strategic decisions and is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
