Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) asa result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of theobligation. When the Entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example,under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only whenthe reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in thestatement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre¬tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting isused, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(i) Short-term obligations-
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settledwholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the relatedservice are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting year andare measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilitiesare presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Post-employment obligations-
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) Defined contribution plans such as provident fund and ESI.
Gratuity obligations-
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit plan is thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting year less the fair valueof plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in INR is determined bydiscounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of thereporting year on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the relatedobligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the definedbenefit obligation. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profitand loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarialassumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensiveincome. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in thebalance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendmentsor curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
Defined contribution plans-
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as perlocal regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions havebeen paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and thecontributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income,or through profit or loss), and those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial as setsand the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losseswill either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which theinvestment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether theCompany has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for theequity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managingthose assets changes.
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value, in the case of afinancial asset is not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carriedat fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determiningwhether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model formanaging the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurementcategories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cashflows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gainor loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part ofa hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effectiveinterest rate method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection ofcontractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows representsolely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI,except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchangegains and losses which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised,the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit orloss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets isincluded in other income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCIare measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that issubsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedgingrelationship is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and losswithin other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financialassets is included in other income.
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company'smanagement has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in othercomprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to
profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other incomewhen the Company's right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised inother gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal ofimpairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately fromother changes in fair value.
A financial asset is derecognised only when:
The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or, retainsthe contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractualobligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferredsubstantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financialasset is derecognised. Where the Company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewardsof ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risksand rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if theCompany has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control ofthe financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuinginvolvement in the financial asset.
Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method.The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receiptsthrough the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows byconsidering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment,extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in thestatement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses arepresented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses) Non¬monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using theexchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assetsand liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example,translation differences on non- monetary assets and liabilities such as equity instruments held atfair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain orloss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equity investments classified asFVOCI are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established,it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company,and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheetwhere there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is anintention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Thelegally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in thenormal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the group orthe counterparty.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to theend of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as perthe credit terms.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortisedcost, less provision for impairment.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting providedto the chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, segmental reporting is performed on thebasis of geographical location of customer which is also used by the chief financial decisionmaker of the company for allocation of available resources and future prospects.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short¬term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to aninsignificant risk of changes in value.
(i) Functional and presentation currency:
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financialstatements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is entity's functional and presentationcurrency.
(ii) Transactions and balances:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchangerates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from thesettlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized instatement of profit and loss. Foreign exchange gain/loss on restatement of foreign currency loanstaken for specific fixed assets are capitalized along with cost of respective fixed asset.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowingsand payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowingsincluding bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
(a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss-
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for tradingand financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose ofrepurchasing in the near term.
(b) Loans and borrowings-
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearingloans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective InterestRate (EIR) method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well asthrough the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition andfees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costsin the statement of profit and loss.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only on theoccurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events outside the Company's control, orpresent obligations that are not recognised because of the following: (a) It is not probable thatan outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or (b) the amountcannot be measured reliably.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed and described in the notes to thefinancial statements, including an estimate of their potential financial effect and uncertaintiesrelating to the amount or timing of any outflow, unless the possibility of settlement is remote.
Contingent assets are possible assets whose existence will be confirmed only on the occurrenceor non-occurrence of uncertain future events outside the Company's control. Contingent assetsare not recognised. When the realisation of income is virtually certain, the related asset is not acontingent asset; it is recognised as an asset.
Contingent assets are disclosed and described in the notes to the financial statements, includingan estimate of their potential financial effect if the inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonableassurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attachedconditions. Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment areincluded in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on astraight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within otherincome.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to makejudgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses,assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingentliabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continuouslyevaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectationsof future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty aboutthese assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment tothe carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the following areas where significant judgements,estimates and assumptions are required. Further information on each of these areas and howthey impact the various accounting policies are described below and also in the relevant notes tothe financial statements. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made thefollowing judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in thefinancial statements:
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims againstthe Company, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature,contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail tooccur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherentlyinvolves the exercise of significant judgments and the use of estimates regarding the outcome offuture events.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at thereporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amountsof assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based itsassumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statementswere prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however,may change due to market change or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company.Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may beimpaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, theCompany estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higherof an asset's or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its v alue in use. It is determined for anindividual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent ofthose from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGUexceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to itsrecoverable amount.
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present valueof such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involvesmaking various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These includethe determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pensionincreases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions arereviewed at each reporting date.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheetcannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured usingvaluation techniques including the NAV model.
Financial assets like security deposits received and security deposits paid, has been classified andmeasured at amortised cost on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date oftransition to Ind AS. Government corporate bond rate has been used to fair value the securitydeposits at amortised cost.
Financial liability like long term borrowings received, has been classified and measured atamortised cost on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition toInd AS. Average market borrowing rate has been used to fair value the long term loan atamortised cost.
