Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and there is areliable estimate of the amount of the obligation.
When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is thepresent value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). The discount rate used todetermine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and therisks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of whichwill be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within thecontrol of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflowof resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. Contingentassets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assetsare reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation, in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources isremote no provision or disclosure is made.
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure. The commitments are classified and disclosed as follows:
i. The estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for; and
ii. Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion ofthe Management.
i. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenuecan be reliably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery.
(i) Income on loans
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theCompany and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis,by reference to the principal outstanding and applicable effective interest rate (EIR).
EIR is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or,when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. EMI commences once when theentire loan is disbursed. Pending Commencement of EMIs, Pre-EMI interest is payable every month.
The EIR (and therefore, the amortised cost of the asset) is calculated by taking into account any discount or premiumon acquisition, fees and costs that are an integral part of the asset. The Company recognises interest income using arate of return that represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the loan.
Interest income is calculated by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of non-credit impaired financial assets(i.e. at the amortised cost of the financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss allowance). For credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount less theallowance for expected credit losses. However, no interest has been recognised on credit-impaired loans as a matterof prudence.
Overdue Interest in respect of credit-impaired loans, Penal Interest and other related charges are recognised as incomeonly when revenue is virtually certain which generally coincides with receipts.
(ii) Fees and Commission Income
Fee and commission income include fee other than those that are an integral part of EIR. The fee included in thispart of the Company’s Statement of Profit and Loss include, among other things, fee charged for servicing a loan.The Company recognises the fee and commission income in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract /agreement and when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration.
Fee and commission expenses in respect of services availed are recognised as the services are received.
(iii) Investment Income
Gains/ losses on the sale of investments are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on the trade date. Gain orloss on the sale of investments is determined after consideration of cost on a first in first out (FIFO) basis.
Income from interest on bank deposits and other interest bearing securities is recognized on the time proportion basistaking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
(iv) Dividend Income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established(provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of dividend incomecan be measured reliably).
(v) Other Income
Other Income represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognised when the rightto receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.
j. Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at the inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains, a leaseif the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company considers whether (i)the contract involves the use of identified asset; (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from the useof the asset through the period of lease and (iii) the Company has right to direct the use of the asset.
(i) As a lessee
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-useasset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any leasepayments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of coststo dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the site on which it is located, less any lease incentivesreceived.
Certain lease arrangements include the option to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term.The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include these options when it is reasonably certain that the option will beexercised.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to theearlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful livesof right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, theright-of use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of thelease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencementdate, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’sincremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprises of fixed payments, including in-substancefixed payments, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and the exercise price under apurchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise & lease payments in an optional renewal period,if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option.
The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of theright-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced tozero.
Lease liability and the right of use asset have been separately presented in the balance sheet and lease payments havebeen classified as financing activities.
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have alease term of less than or equal to 12 months with no purchase option and assets with low value leases. The Companyrecognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense in statement of profit and loss over the leaseterm. The related cash flows are classified as operating activities.
k. Taxes
(i) Current Tax
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with theapplicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws.
(ii) Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in thefinancial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilitiesare recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary difference can be utilised.
Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognitionof assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition,deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting year and reduced to the extentthat it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assetto be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the assetis realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enactedby the end of the reporting year.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current taxassets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxationauthority.
(iii) Current and Deferred Tax for the year
Current and Deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they are relating to items thatare recognised in the other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxare also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilitiesare offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends tosettle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
l. Investments in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associates
Investments in Subsidiaries and Associates are measured at cost as per Ind AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements.
m. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the EIR on respective financial instruments measured at amortisedcost.
n. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreigncurrencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gainsand losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing atthe date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreigncurrency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
o. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in Balance Sheet comprise of cash at bank, cash and cheques on hand and short-term deposits withan original maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
p. Statement of Cash Flow
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactionsof non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating,investing and financing activities are segregated based on the activities of the Company.
q. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating DecisionMaker (CODM).
The Managing Director & CEO is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) by the management of the Company.CODM has identified only one operating segment of providing loans for purchase, construction, repairs renovation etc. andhas its operations entirely within India.
r. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholdersby the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average numbers of equityshares outstanding during the year are adjusted for events including a bonus issue, bonus element in right issue to existingshareholders, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss after tax as adjusted for dividend, interestand other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity sharesdivided by weighted average nos. of equity shares year which are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equityshares.
s. Exceptional Items
