Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimatecan be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding theobligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation,its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money ismaterial).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recoveredfrom a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will bereceived and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company entity becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that aredirectly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other thanfinancial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deductedfrom the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible intoknown amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having originalmaturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cashequivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held withina business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows andthe contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Investment in equity instruments (other than subsidiaries / associates / joint ventures) - All equityinvestments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity insturments which are hledfor trading are generally classified at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For all other equityinstruments, the Company decides to classify the same either at fair value through other comprehensiveincome (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company makes such election on aninstrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes onthe instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Thereis no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company
may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Dividends on such investments are recognisedin profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changesrecognized in the P&L.
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortisedcost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costsdirectly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or lossare immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method,except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequentlymeasured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one yearfrom the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity ofthese instruments.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of newordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from thefinancial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition underInd AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company'sBalance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods andassumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methodsused to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices anddealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such valuemay never actually be realised.
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financialassets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance.The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables thatdo not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measuredat an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expectedcredit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition
