L Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets
The Company recognises provisions when there is present obligation as a result of pastevent and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and reliable estimate canbe made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material,provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net presentvalue using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessmentsof the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a financecost. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to the reflect thecurrent best estimate.
A present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that anoutflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot bemade, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent Liabilities are also disclosed whenthere is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will beconfirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future eventsnot wholly within the control of the Company.
Contingent assets are not recognized in Standalone financial statements since this mayresult in the recognition of income that may never be realised.
M Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a Financial Asset of one entity andFinancial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets(i) Initial measurement and recognition :
The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. All financial assets are recognized at fairvalue on initialrecognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financialassets that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initialrecognition. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit andloss are expensed in the statement of profit and loss. Regular way purchase and sale offinancial assets are accounted for at trade date.
(ii) Subsequent measurement :
(a) 'Debt instruments at amortized cost - A ‘debt instrument' is measured at the amortized costif both the following conditions are met:
(i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collectingcontractual cash flows, and
(ii) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding."
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortizedcost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
(b) Equity investments - All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fairvalue. Equity instruments which are held for trading are generally classified as at fair valuethrough profit and loss (FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Company decides toclassify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) orfair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company makes such election on aninstrument by instrument basis. The classificationis made on initial recognition and isirrevocable.
(c) Mutual funds - All mutual funds in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value throughprofit and loss (FVTPL).
Financial Liabilities:
(i) Initial measurement and recognition
The Company recognizes financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on initialrecognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of financialliabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are reduced from the fair value oninitial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of financialliabilities at fair value through profit and loss are expensed in the statement of profit andloss.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
These liabilities include borrowings and deposits. After initial recognition, interest-bearingloans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit andloss when the liabilities are de-recognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisitionand fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included asfinance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition - Financial assets
A Financial asset is primarily derecognised when the right to receive the contractual cashflows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of thefinancial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retainssubstantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of thefinancial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on itsbalance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of thetransferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Derecognition - Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations aredischarged or cancelled, or expired.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and thecash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financialliability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between thecarrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability withmodified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in thebalance sheet if there is a currently and legally enforceable right to set off the amounts andit intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously.
N Rounding off amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to thenearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
O Dividend distribution
Dividends paid (including income tax thereon) is recognised in the period in which theinterim dividends are approved by the Board of Directors, or in respect of the final dividendwhen approved by shareholders.
Q Standards or Amendments issued but not effective
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities withCovenants - Amendments to Ind AS 1:
This amendment also includes specific provisions that will take effect for reporting periodsbeginning on or after 1 April 2026, as outlined below.
Under the existing Ind AS 1, where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-termloan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liabilitybecomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liabilityas current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of thefinancial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.
However, the amended requirements stipulate that entities will no longer be permitted toconsider lender waivers that are granted after the reporting date but before the financialstatements are approved for the purpose of classification of loans. This amendment isrequired to be applied retrospectively in accordance with Ind AS 8.
The company does not expect this amendment to have an impact on its operations orstandalone financial statements."
