A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligationthat can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle theobligation and there is reliable estimate of the amount of obligation.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation arising from past events, theexistence of which will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents not wholly within the control of the company or a present obligation that arise from past events where it isnot probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot bemade.
As a Lessee
A lease is classified at the inception date as finance lease or an operating lease. Leases under which the companyassumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. When acquired, suchassets are capitalized at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of lease,whichever is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability soas to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized infinance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Other leases are treated as operating leases, with payments are recognized as expense in the statement of profitand loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a non-financial asset or agroup of non-financial assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the amount ofimpairment loss. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of assets that generatescash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group ofassets is considered as cash generating unit. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount ofthe individual asset/cash generating unit is made.
An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and recoverable amount.Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the company considers thatthere are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount ofimpairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after theimpairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction coststhat are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other thanfinancial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss) are added to or deducted from the fairvalue measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability. The transaction costs directlyattributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss areimmediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency foreign exchange forward contracts,interest rate swaps and currency options; and embedded derivatives in the host contract.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial instrument and ofallocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or whereappropriate, a shorter period.
Classification
The Company shall classify financial assets and subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through othercomprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing thefinancial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisitionof the financial asset, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss. Purchases orsales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or conventionin the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the company commitsto purchase or sell the asset.
Measured at Amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at the amortized 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 principaland interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium onacquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income
in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit andloss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is measurement FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the
financial assets, and
b) The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Financial assets included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fairvalue. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the companyrecognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss.On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from the equity toprofit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIRmethod.
Financial Asset at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
FVTPL is a residual category for financial asset. Any financial asset, which does not meet the criteria forcategorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the company may elect to classify a financial asset, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCIcriteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement orrecognition inconsistency (referred to as 'accounting mismatch').
Financial assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in theprofit and loss.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a company of similar financial assets) isprimarily de-recognized (i.e. removed from the company's balance sheet) when:
i) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
ii) The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed anobligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the company has transferred substantially all the risksand rewards of the asset, or (b) the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially allthe risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
iii) When the company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has enteredinto a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks andrewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risksand rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the company continues torecognize the transferred asset to the extent of the company's continuing involvement. In thatcase, the company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and theassociated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that thecompany has retained.
iv) Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset ismeasured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount ofconsideration that the company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement andrecognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortized cost e.g., loans, debt securities,deposits, and bank balance.
b) Trade receivables.
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
i) Trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk.Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right fromits initial recognition.
ii) For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Companydetermines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initialrecognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide forimpairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in asubsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer asignificant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizingimpairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
(B) Financial liabilitiesClassification
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall besubsequently measured at fair value.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss oramortized costs.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, netof directly attributable transaction costs.
The company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, financial guaranteecontracts and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financialliabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classifiedas held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includesderivative financial instruments entered into by the group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedgerelationships as defined by Ind-AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unlessthey are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initialdate of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair valuegains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk arerecognized in OCI. This gains/loss is not subsequently
transferred to P&L. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changesin fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost usingthe EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well asthrough the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs thatare an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Derecognition
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 substantially different terms, orthe terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as thederecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carryingamounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Measurement of fair values
The Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for financialinstruments.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. Themanagement regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third partyinformation, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the managementassesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet therequirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible.Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuationtechniques as follows.
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair valuehierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchyas the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting periodduring which the change has occurred.
