Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event and it is probable that an outflow of resources,that can be reliably estimated, will be required to settlesuch an obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisionsare determined by discounting the expected future cashflows to net present value using an appropriate pre-taxdiscount rate that reflects current market assessmentsof the time value of money and, where appropriate, therisks specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discountis recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as afinance cost.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and areadjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
A present obligation that arises from past events whereit is either not probable that an outflow of resources willbe required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amountcannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability.Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is a
possible obligation arising from past events, the existenceof which will be confirmed only by the occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more uncertain future eventsnot wholly within the control of the Company.
Claims against the Company where the possibility ofany outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are notdisclosed as contingent liabilities.
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow ofeconomic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are notrecognised in financial statements since this may resultin the recognition of income that may never be realised.However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain,then the related asset is not a contingent asset andis recognised.
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promisedproducts and services to customers, when there are nolonger any unfulfilled obligations, in an amount that reflectsthe consideration which the Company expects to receivein exchange for those products and services.
Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligationis measured at the amount of transaction price (net ofvariable consideration) allocated to that performanceobligation. The transaction price of goods sold andservices rendered is net of variable consideration onaccount of allowances, trade, volume & other discounts/rebates or schemes offered by the Company as part ofthe contract and any taxes or duties collected on behalf ofthe government such as goods and services tax, etc. Thisvariable consideration is estimated based on the expectedvalue of outflow. Revenue (net of variable consideration) isrecognized only to the extent that it is highly probable thatthe amount will not be subject to significant reversal whenuncertainty relating to its recognition is resolved.
a) Sale of goods:
Sales of goods are recognised at a point in time upontransfer of control of promised products to customers,which coincides with the dispatch or delivery of goodsor upon formal customer acceptance as per therelevant terms of the contract and when there are nounfulfilled performance obligations in an amount thatreflects the consideration the Company expect toreceive in exchange for those products.
Accumulated experience and judgement are usedto estimate and provide for turnover discounts,expected cash discounts, other eligible discounts,expected returns and incentives.
b) Sale of services:
i) Revenue from services rendered is recognised ata point in time upon satisfaction of performance
obligations based on agreements arrangementswith the customers. Service income is recordednet of GST.
ii) In case of Licensing contract which are mainly innature of right access, the revenue is recognisedover license period on straight line basis based onagreements arrangements with the customers.
c) Income from power generation:
Power generation income is recognized on the basis ofelectrical units generated and sold in excess of captiveconsumption and recognized at prescribed rate asper agreement of sale of electricity by the Company.Further, value of electricity generated and captivelyconsumed is netted off from the electricity expenses.
d) Assets and liabilities arising from right to return:
The Company has contracts with customers whichentitles them the unconditional right to return.
Right to return assets:
A right of return gives the company a contractual rightto recover the goods from a customer (right to returnasset), if the customer exercises its option to returnthe goods and obtain a refund. The asset is measuredat the carrying amount of the inventory, less anyexpected costs to recover the goods, including anypotential decreases in the value of the returned goods.
Refund liabilities:
A refund liability is the obligation to refund part or allof the consideration received (or receivable) from thecustomer. The Company has therefore recognisedrefund liabilities in respect of customer’s right toreturn. The liability is measured at the amount theCompany ultimately expects it will have to return tothe customer. The Company updates its estimate ofrefund liabilities (and the corresponding change in thetransaction price) at the end of each reporting period.The Company has presented its right to return assetsand refund liabilities under other current assets andother current liabilities, respectively.
e) Other income:
i) Interest income in respect of deposits which aremeasured at cost is recorded using effectiveinterest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactlydiscounts the estimated future cash paymentsor receipts over the expected life of thefinancial instrument or a shorter period, whereappropriate, to the gross carrying amount ofthe financial asset or to the amortised cost of afinancial liability.
ii) Dividend income on investment is accounted forin the period/year in which the right to receive thesame is established.
iii) Rental income (net of taxes) on assets givenunder operating lease arrangements isrecognized on a straight-line basis over the periodof the lease unless the receipts are structured toincrease in line with expected general inflationto compensate for the Company’s expectedinflationary cost increases.
Government grants are recognised when there isreasonable assurance that the Company will comply withthe conditions attaching to them and that the grants willbe received.
Export incentives principally comprises of Duty Drawbackand rebate on state & central taxes and levies (RoSTCL)based on guidelines formulated for the respective schemeby the government authorities. Export incentives relatedto operations provided by government are recognized asincome on accrual basis in Statement of Profit and Lossonly to the extent that realisation/utilisation is certain.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers forgoods sold or services performed in the ordinary courseof business. If the receivable is expected to be collectedwithin a period of 12 months or less from the reporting date(or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer),they are classified as current assets, otherwise as non¬current assets.
Trade receivables are measured at their transaction priceunless it contains a significant financing component orpricing adjustments embedded in the contract. In case afinancing component exits the consideration for the goodsand service is adjusted for the time value of company.
Loss allowance for expected life time credit loss isrecognised on initial recognition.
a) As a Lessee:
The Company assesses whether a contract containsa lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, orcontains, a lease if the contract conveys the right tocontrol the use of an identified asset for a period oftime in exchange for consideration. To assess whethera contract conveys the right to control the use of anidentified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i)the contract involves the use of an identified asset(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economicbenefits from use of the asset through the period of
the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to directthe use of the asset.
Certain lease arrangements include the options toextend or terminate the lease before the end of thelease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includesthese options when it is reasonably certain that theywill be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized atcost, which comprises the initial amount of the leaseliability adjusted for any lease payments made at orprior to the commencement date of the lease plusany initial direct costs less any lease incentives. Theyare subsequently measured at cost less accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on astraight-line basis over the lease term. Right of useassets are evaluated for recoverability wheneverevents or changes in circumstances indicate thattheir carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Forthe purpose of impairment testing, the recoverableamount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to selland the value-in-use) is determined on an individualasset basis unless the asset does not generate cashflows that are largely independent of those fromother assets.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortizedcost at the present value of the future lease payments.The lease payments are discounted using the interestrate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable,using the incremental borrowing rates in the countryof domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities areremeasured with a corresponding adjustment to therelated right of use asset if the Company changes itsassessment if whether it will exercise an extension ora termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separatelypresented in the Balance Sheet and lease paymentshave been classified as financing cash flows.
b) Short-term leases and leases of low value assets:
The Company applies the short-term lease recognitionexemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leasesthat have a lease term of 12 months or less from thecommencement date and do not contain a purchaseoption). It also applies the lease of low-value assetsrecognition exemption to leases that are consideredto be low value. Lease payments on short-term leasesand leases of low-value assets are recognised asexpense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Lease income from operating leases where thecompany is a lessor is recognized (net of GST) inincome on a straight-line basis over the lease term.The respective leased assets are included in thebalance sheet based on their nature.
a) Short-term employee benefits:
All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelvemonths of rendering the service are classified asshort-term employee benefits and they are recognizedas an expense at the undiscounted amount in theStatement of Profit and Loss in the period in which theemployee renders the related service.
b) Post-employment benefits:
i) Defined contribution plan:
The defined contribution plan is post¬employment benefit plan under which theCompany contributes fixed contribution to agovernment administered fund and will haveno obligation to pay further contribution. TheCompany’s defined contribution plan comprisesof Provident Fund, Employee State InsuranceScheme, Employee Pension Scheme, NationalPension Scheme and Labour Welfare Fund. TheCompany’s contribution to defined contributionplans are recognized in the Statement of Profitand Loss in the period in which employee rendersthe related service.
If the contribution payable to the scheme forservice received before the Balance Sheet dateexceeds the contribution already paid, the deficitpayable to the scheme is recognised as a liabilityafter deducting the contribution already paid.If the contribution already paid exceeds thecontribution due for services received before theBalance Sheet date, then excess is recognisedas an asset to the extent that the pre-paymentwill lead to a reduction in future payment or acash refund.
i) Defined benefit plan:
The Company’s obligation towards gratuityliability is funded to an approved gratuity fund,which fully covers the said liability under CashAccumulation Policy of Life Insurance Corporationof India (LIC). The present value of the definedbenefit obligations is determined based onactuarial valuation using the projected unitcredit method. The rate used to discount definedbenefit obligation is determined by referenceto market yields at the Balance Sheet date on
Indian Government Bonds for the estimated termof obligations.
The current service cost of the defined benefitplan, recognised in the Statement of Profit andLoss as employee benefits expense, reflectsthe increase in the defined benefit obligationresulting from employee service in the currentyear, benefit changes, curtailments andsettlements. Past service costs are recognisedin statement of profit and loss in the period of aplan amendment.
The net interest cost is calculated by applyingthe discount rate to the net balance of thedefined benefit obligation and fair value of planassets. This cost is included in employee benefitexpense in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Re-measurement gains or losses arising fromexperience adjustments changes in actuarialassumptions is reflected immediately in theBalance Sheet with a charge or credit recognizedin Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in theperiod in which they occur. Re-measurementrecognized in OCI is reflected immediately inretained earnings and will not be reclassified toStatement of Profit and Loss in the subsequentperiod. Re-measurements comprises of (a)actuarial gains and losses, (b) the effect of theasset ceiling (excluding amounts included in netinterest on the net defined benefit liability) and© the return on plan assets (excluding amountsincluded in net interest on the net defined benefitliability).
iii) Other employee benefits:
As per the Company’s policy, employees who havecompleted specified years of service are eligiblefor death benefit plan wherein defined amountwould be paid to the survivors of the employee onthe death of the employee while in service withthe Company. To fulfil the Company’s obligationfor the above-mentioned plan, the Company hastaken term policy from an insurance company.The annual premium for insurance cover isrecognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
a) Tax expenses comprise of current tax, deferredtax charge or credit and adjustments of taxes forearlier years. In respect of amounts adjusted againstsecurities premium or retained earnings or otherreserves, the corresponding tax effect is also adjustedagainst the securities premium or retained earningsor other reserves, as the case may be, as per theannouncement of Institute of Chartered Accountantof India.
b) Current Tax is measured on the basis of estimatedtaxable income for the current accounting period inwith the applicable tax rates and the provisions of theIncome-tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws.
c) Deferred tax is provided, on all temporary differencesat the reporting date between the tax bases of assetsand liabilities and their carrying amounts for financialreporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilitiesare measured at the tax rates that are expected tobe applied to the temporary differences when theyreverse, based on the laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the reporting date.
The Company has adopted the amendments withrespect to Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilitiesarising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IndAS 12) from 1st April 2023. The amendments narrow thescope of the initial recognition exemption to excludetransactions that give rise to equal and offsettingdifferences - e.g., leases and decommissioningliabilities. For leases and decommissioning liabilities,an entity is required to recognise the associateddeferred tax assets and liabilities from the beginningof the earliest comparative period presented, withany cumulative effect recognised as an adjustmentto retained earnings or other components of equity atthat date. For all other transactions, an entity appliesthe amendments to transactions that occur on orafter the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The Company previously accounted for deferred taxon leases and decommissioning liabilities by applyingthe 'integrally linked’ approach, resulting in a similaroutcome as under the amendments, except that thedeferred tax asset or liability was recognised on a netbasis. Following the amendments, the Company hasrecognised a separate deferred tax asset in relationto its lease liabilities and a deferred tax liability inrelation to its right-to-use assets as at 1st April 2022and thereafter.
However, there was no impact on the balance sheetbecause the balances qualify for offset underparagraph 74 of Ind AS 12. There was also no impacton the opening retained earnings as at 1st April 2022as a result of the change.
Tax relating to items recognised directly in equityor OCI is recognised in equity or OCI and not in theStatement of Profit and Loss. Deferred tax assetsand liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceableright to offset current tax liabilities and assets andthey relate to income taxes levied by the sametax authority, but they intend to settle current taxliabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assetsand liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extentthat it is probable that future taxable profits will beavailable against which the temporary difference canbe utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at eachreporting date and are reduced to the extent that it isno longer probable.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividingthe net profit or loss (after tax) for the year attributable toequity shareholders by the weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the year. The weightedaverage number of equity shares outstanding during theperiod is adjusted for events of bonus issue and share splitif any.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,the net profit or loss (after tax) for the year attributable toequity shareholders and the weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted forthe effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
a) Transactions denominated in foreign currencies arerecorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dateof the transaction.
b) As at balance sheet date, foreign currency monetaryitems are translated at closing exchange rate. Foreigncurrency non-monetary items carried at fair value aretranslated at the rates prevailing at the date whenthe fair value was determined. Foreign currency non¬monetary items measured in terms of historical costare translated using the exchange rate as at the dateof initial transactions.
c) Exchange difference arising on settlement ortranslation of foreign currency monetary items arerecognized as income or expense in the year in whichthey arise except to the extent exchange differencesare regarded as an adjustment to interest cost onthose foreign currency borrowings.
d) As per Appendix B to Ind AS 21, when an entity hasreceived or paid advance contribution in a foreigncurrency, transaction rate as on the date of receiptof advance is considered for recognition of relatedasset, expenses or income.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to afinancial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equityinstrument of another entity.
Initial recognition and measurement:
The Company recognizes a financial asset in its BalanceSheet when it becomes party to the contractual provisionsof the instrument. All financial assets are recognizedinitially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assetsnot recorded at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL),transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition ofthe financial asset. Where the fair value of a financial assetat initial recognition is different from its transaction price,the difference between the fair value and the transactionprice is recognized as a gain or loss in the Statement of Profitand Loss at initial recognition if the fair value is determinedthrough a quoted market price in an active market for anidentical asset (i.e. level 1 input) or through a valuationtechnique that uses data from observable markets (i.e.level 2 input). In case the fair value is not determinedusing a level 1 or level 2 input as mentioned above, thedifference between the fair value and transaction price isdeferred appropriately and recognized as a gain or loss inthe Statement of Profit and Loss only to the extent thatsuch gain or loss arises due to a change in factor thatmarket participants take into account when pricing thefinancial asset. However, trade receivables that do notcontain a significant financing component are measuredat transaction price (see second para of note 1.14 on tradereceivables).
Subsequent measurement:
For subsequent measurement, the Company classifies afinancial asset in accordance with the below criteria:
• The Company’s business model for managing thefinancial asset and
• The contractual cash flow characteristics of thefinancial asset.
Based on the above criteria, the Company classifies itsfinancial assets into the following categories:
a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost:
A financial asset is measured at the amortized cost ifboth the following conditions are met:
i) The Company’s business model objective formanaging the financial asset is to hold financialassets in order to collect contractual cashflows, and
ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset giverise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on theprincipal amount outstanding.
This category applies to cash and bank balances,trade receivables, loans and other financial
assets of the Company. Such financial assets aresubsequently measured at amortized cost usingthe effective interest method. Under the effectiveinterest method, the future cash receipts areexactly discounted to the initial recognition valueusing the effective interest rate. The cumulativeamortization using the effective interest methodof the difference between the initial recognitionamount and the maturity amount is added tothe initial recognition value (net of principalrepayments, if any) of the financial asset overthe relevant period of the financial asset to arriveat the amortized cost at each reporting date.The corresponding effect of the amortizationunder effective interest method is recognized asinterest income over the relevant period of thefinancial asset. The same is included under otherincome in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The amortized cost of a financial asset is alsoadjusted for loss allowance, if any.
b) Financial assets measured at fair value throughother comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if both of thefollowing conditions are met:
i) The Company’s business model objective formanaging the financial asset is achieved both bycollecting contractual cash flows and selling thefinancial assets, and
The Company, through an irrevocable election atinitial recognition, has measured certain investmentsin equity instruments at FVTOCI, refer note 2.3(a). TheCompany has made such election on an instrument byinstrumentbasis. Theseequityinstrumentsareneitherheld for trading nor are contingent considerationrecognized under a business combination. Pursuant tosuch irrevocable election, subsequent changes in thefair value of such equity instruments are recognizedin OCI. However, the Company recognizes dividendincome from such instruments in the Statement ofProfit and Loss when the right to receive payment isestablished, it is probable that the economic benefitswill flow to the Company and the amount can bemeasured reliably.
On derecognition of such financial assets, cumulativegain or loss previously recognized in OCI is notreclassified from the equity to Statement of Profit andLoss. However, the Company may transfer
such cumulative gain or loss into retained earningswithin equity.
c) Financial assets measured at fair value throughprofit or loss (FVTPL):
A financial asset is measured at FVTPL unless it ismeasured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI as explainedabove. This is a residual category applied to all otherinvestments of the Company excluding investmentsin subsidiary and joint venture. Such financial assetsare subsequently measured at fair value at eachreporting date. Fair value changes are recognized inthe Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a partof a financial asset or part of a group of similarfinancial assets) is derecognized (i.e. removed fromthe Company’s Balance Sheet) when any of thefollowing occurs:
a) The contractual rights to cash flows from thefinancial asset expires;
b) The Company transfers its contractual rights toreceive cash flows of the financial asset and hassubstantially transferred all the risks and rewardsof ownership of the financial asset;
c) The Company retains the contractual rights toreceive cash flows but assumes a contractualobligation to pay the cash flows without materialdelay to one or more recipients under a 'pass¬through’ arrangement (thereby substantiallytransferring all the risks and rewards of ownershipof the financial asset);
d) The Company neither transfers nor retainssubstantially all risk and rewards of ownership anddoes not retain control over the financial asset.
In cases where Company has neither transferrednor retained substantially all of the risks and rewardsof the financial asset, but retains control of thefinancial asset, the Company continues to recognizesuch financial asset to the extent of its continuinginvolvement in the financial asset. In that case, theCompany also recognizes an associated liability.The financial asset and the associated liability aremeasured on a basis that reflects the rights andobligations that the Company has retained.
On derecognition of a financial asset, (except asmentioned in (ii) under classification above forfinancial assets measured at FVTOCI), the differencebetween the carrying amount and the considerationreceived is recognized in the Statement of Profitand Loss.
Impairment of financial assets:
The Company applies expected credit losses (ECL)model for measurement and recognition of lossallowance on the following:
a) Trade receivables and lease receivables.
b) Financial assets measured at amortizedcost (other than trade receivables and leasereceivables).
I n case of trade receivables and lease receivables,the Company follows a simplified approach whereinan amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured andrecognized as loss allowance.
In case of other assets (listed as (ii) above), theCompany determines if there has been a significantincrease in credit risk of the financial asset sinceinitial recognition.
I f the credit risk of such assets has not increasedsignificantly, an amount equal to 12-month ECLis measured and recognized as loss allowance.However, if credit risk has increased significantly,an amount equal to lifetime ECL is measured andrecognized as loss allowance.
Subsequently, if the credit quality of the financialasset improves such that there is no longera significant increase in credit risk since initialrecognition, the Company reverts to recognizingimpairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cashflows that are due to the Company in accordance withthe contract and all the cash flows that the entityexpects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discountedat the original effective interest rate.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resultingfrom all possible default events over the expectedlife of a financial asset. 12-month ECL are a portion ofthe lifetime ECL which result from default events thatare possible within 12 months from the reporting date.
ECL are measured in a manner that they reflectunbiased and probability weighted amountsdetermined by a range of outcomes, takinginto account the time value of money and otherreasonable information available as a result of pastevents, current conditions and forecasts of futureeconomic conditions.
As a practical expedient,the Company uses a provisionmatrix to measure lifetime ECL on its portfolio oftrade receivables. The provision matrix is preparedbased on historically observed default rates overthe expected life of trade receivables and is adjusted
for forward-looking estimates. At each reporting date,the historically observed default rates and changes inthe forward-looking estimates are updated.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)recognized during the period is recognized asincome/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Lossunder the head 'Other expenses’.
Investment in subsidiaries and joint venture:
The Company has elected to recognize itsinvestments in subsidiaries and joint venture at costin accordance with the option available in Ind AS27, 'Separate Financial Statements’. Investments insubsidiaries and joint venture are carried at cost lessaccumulated impairment losses, if any. Where anindication of impairment exists, the carrying amountof the investment is assessed. Where the carryingamount of an investment is greater than its estimatedrecoverable amount, it is written down immediatelyto its recoverable amount and the difference istransferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Ondisposal of investment, the difference between thenet disposal proceeds and the carrying amountis charged or credited to the Statement of Profitand Loss.
Classification as debt or equity:
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issuedby the Company are classified according to thesubstance of the contractual arrangements enteredinto and the definitions of a financial liability and anequity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidencesa residual interest in the assets of an entity afterdeducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issuedby the Company are recognised at the proceedsreceived, net of direct issue costs.
The Company recognizes a financial liability inits Balance Sheet when it becomes party to thecontractual provisions of the instrument. All financialliabilities are recognized initially at fair value minus,in the case of financial liabilities not recorded at fairvalue through profit or loss (FVTPL), transactioncosts that are attributable to the acquisition of thefinancial liability.
Where the fair value of a financial liability at initialrecognition is different from its transaction price, thedifference between the fair value and the transactionprice is recognized as a gain or loss in the Statementof Profit and Loss at initial recognition if the fair valueis determined through a quoted market price in anactive market for an identical asset (i.e. level 1 input)or through a valuation technique that uses data fromobservable markets (i.e. level 2 input).
I n case the fair value is not determined using a level1 or level 2 input as mentioned above, the differencebetween the fair value and transaction price isdeferred appropriately and recognized as a gain orloss in the Statement of Profit and Loss only to theextent that such gain or loss arises due to a changein factor that market participants take into accountwhen pricing the financial liability.
All financial liabilities of the Company aresubsequently measured at amortized cost using theeffective interest method.
Under the effective interest method, the futurecash payments are exactly discounted to the initialrecognition value using the effective interest rate.The cumulative amortization using the effectiveinterest method of the difference between theinitial recognition amount and the maturity amountis added to the initial recognition value (net ofprincipal repayments, if any) of the financial liabilityover the relevant period of the financial liability toarrive at the amortized cost at each reporting date.The corresponding effect of the amortization undereffective interest method is recognized as interestexpense over the relevant period of the financialliability. The same is included under finance cost in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
A financial liability is derecognized when theobligation under the liability is discharged or cancelledor expires. When an existing financial liability isreplaced by another from the same lender onsubstantiallydifferentterms, or the terms of an existingliability are substantially modified, such an exchangeor modification is treated as the Derecognition ofthe original liability and the recognition of a new liability.The difference between the carrying amount of thefinancial liability derecognized and the considerationpaid is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting financial instruments:
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the netamount reported in the balance sheet when there isa legally enforceable right to offset the recognisedamounts and there is an intention to settle on anet basis or realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously. The legally enforceable right must
not be contingent on future events and must beenforceable in the normal course of business and inthe event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of theCompany or the counterparty.
The Company measures financial instruments, suchas investments and derivatives at fair values at eachBalance Sheet date. Fair value is the price that would bereceived to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants at themeasurement date. The fair value measurement is basedon the presumption that the transaction to sell the assetor transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the mostadvantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must beaccessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset ora liability is measured using the assumptions that marketparticipants would use when pricing the asset or liability,assuming that market participants act in their economicbest interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takesinto account a market participant’s ability to generateeconomic benefits by using the asset in its highest andbest use, or by selling it to another market participantthat would use the asset in its highest and best use. TheCompany uses valuation techniques that are appropriatein the circumstances and for which sufficient data areavailable to measure fair value, categorize the use ofrelevant observable inputs and categorize the use ofunobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities (for which fair value is measuredor disclosed in the financial statements) are categorizedwithin the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, basedon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in activemarkets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is directly or indirectly observable otherthan quoted prices included in Level 1.
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement is unobservable.
For financial assets and liabilities maturing within one yearfrom the Balance Sheet date and which are not carried atfair value, the carrying amount approximates fair value due
to the short maturity of these instruments. For assets andliabilities that are recognised in the financial statementson a recurring basis, the Company determines whethertransfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchyby reassessing categorization (based on the lowest levelinput that is significant to the fair value measurement as awhole) at the end of each reporting period.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bankbalances, deposits with banks (other than on lien) and allshort term highly liquid investments / mutual funds (withzero exit load at the time of investment) that are readilyconvertible into known amounts of cash and are subjectto an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash flows arereported using the indirect method, where by net profitbefore tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions ofa non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past orfuture operating cash receipts or payments and item ofincome or expenses associated with investing or financingcash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing andfinancing activities are segregated.
Final equity dividends on shares are recorded as a liabilityon the date of approval by the shareholders and interimequity dividends are recorded as a liability on the date ofdeclaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Operating segments have been identified taking intoaccount the nature of the products / services, geographicallocations, nature of risks and returns, internal organizationstructure and internal financial reporting system. TheCompany prepares its segment information in conformitywith the accounting policies adopted for preparing andpresenting the financial statements of the Company as awhole. These operating results are regularly reviewed bythe company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”).
The preparation of the Company’s financial statementsrequires management to make judgements, estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanyingdisclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimatescould result in outcomes that require a material adjustmentto the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected infuture periods.
Critical judgements and estimates in applyingaccounting policies:
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain futureevents which are not fully within the control of theCompany. The Company exercises judgement andestimates in recognizing the provisions and assessingthe exposure to contingent liabilities relating topending litigations. Judgment is necessary inassessing the likelihood of the success of the pendingclaim and to quantify the possible range of financialsettlement. Due to this inherent uncertainty in theevaluation process, actual losses may be differentfrom originally estimated provision.
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significantproportion of the asset base of the Company. Thecharge in respect of periodic depreciation is derivedafter determining an estimate of an asset’s expecteduseful life. The useful lives of the Company’s assetsare determined by the management at the time theasset is acquired and reviewed periodically, includingat each financial year end. The lives are based onhistorical experience with similar assets as well asanticipation of future events, which may impact theirlife, such as changes in technical or commercialobsolescence arising from changes or improvementsin production or from a change in market demand ofthe product or service output of the asset.
b) Estimation of Defined benefit obligation:
The costs of providing post-employment benefitsare charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss inaccordance with Ind AS 19 'Employee benefits’ overthe period during which benefit is derived from theemployees’ services. The costs are assessed on thebasis of assumptions selected by the management.These assumptions include salary escalation rate,discount rates, expected rate of return on assets andmortality rates. The same is disclosed in Note 2.39.
c) Refund liability: Refer Note 112(d)
d) Provision for inventories:
The Company provides for obsolescence on slowmoving & non-moving inventory based on policy, pastexperience, current trend and future expectations offinished goods and raw materials depending on thecategory of goods.
e) Fair value measurement of Financial Instruments:
Refer Note 1.21
f) Impairment:
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount bywhich an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carryingamount exceeds its recoverable amount to determinethe recoverable amount, management estimatesexpected future cash flows from each asset or cashgenerating unit and determines a suitable interest ratein order to calculate the present value of those cashflows. In the process of measuring expected futurecash flows, management makes assumptions aboutfuture operating results. These assumptions relate tofuture events and circumstances. The actual resultsmay vary and may cause significant adjustments tothe Company’s assets. In most cases, determiningthe applicable discount rate involves estimatingthe appropriate adjustment to market risk and theappropriate adjustment to asset-specific risk factors.
The Company conducts impairment reviews ofinvestments in subsidiaries and joint ventureswhenever events or changes in circumstances indicatethat their carrying amounts may not be recoverable ortests for impairment annually. Determining whetherthe investments in subsidiaries and joint ventureare impaired requires an estimate of the value inuse of investments. In considering the value in use,the management has anticipated future cash flowsand other factors of the underlying businesses /operations of the subsidiaries & joint venture and asuitable discount rate in order to calculate the presentvalue.

It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board ofDirectors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
a) Market Risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changesin market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: (i) interest rate risk and (ii) other price risk & (iii) commodityrisk. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and borrowings. Thesensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and other post¬retirement obligations; provisions.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This isbased on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
i) Interest rate risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarilyto the Company’s short term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company has sufficient amount of liquidinvestments to mitigate the interest risk on its short term debt obligations.
Interest rate sensitivity:
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loansand borrowings taken at floating rates. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit / (loss) before tax isaffected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investment in equity instruments, mutual funds, bonds,AIF and portfolio management services. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values ofthese investments.
The fair value of quoted equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income as at March 31,2025 of H 298.51 (P.Y. H 273.31 lakhs) and the fair value of investments in equity instrument classified at fair value throughprofit & loss (FVTPL) as at March 31, 2025 of H 1,545.82 (P.Y. H 1,552.66 lakhs). The fair value of investment in mutual fundsclassified at FVTPL as at March 31, 2025 of H 25,377.77 (P.Y. H 30,870.41 lakhs). The fair value of investment in bonds, AIF andportfolio management services classified at FVTPL as at March 31, 2025 of H 783.21 (P.Y. of H 930.09 lakhs).
The Company has laid policies and guidelines which it adheres to in order to minimise price risk arising from theseinvestments. As an estimation of the approximate impact of price risk, with respect to these investments, the Companyhas calculated the impact as follows:
For equity instruments, a 10 % increase in prices may have led to approximately an additional H 29.85 (P.Y. H 27.33) gain inother comprehensive income which are classified at fair value through other comprehensive income and an additionalH 154.58 (P.Y. H 155.27) gain in profit & loss which are classified at fair value through profit & loss. A 10 % decrease in pricesmay have led to an equal but opposite effect.
For mutual funds a 1% increase in prices may have led to approximately an additional H 253.78 (P.Y. H 308.70) gain in Profit &Loss. A 1% decrease in prices may have led to an equal but opposite effect.
For bonds, AIF and portfolio management services a 1% increase in prices may have led to approximately an additionalH 783 (P.Y. H 9.30) Gain in Profit & Loss. A 1% decrease in prices may have led to an equal but opposite effect.
iii) Commodity Price Risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of price fluctuations in raw materials, primarily cotton and synthetic fabric, whichare key inputs in the garment manufacturing process. Volatility in commodity prices can adversely impact the cost ofproduction and operating margins. To manage this risk, the Company monitors market trends and enters into purchasecontracts with suppliers to secure prices wherever feasible. The Company continuously monitors economic conditions,seasonal changes, environmental issues, and government regulations. However, the Company does not use derivativecontracts for hedging commodity price risk as of the reporting date.
b) Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leadingto a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables). Also refernote 2.52(b) for details regarding customer concentration.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significantincrease in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increasein credit risk the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default asat the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:
i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to
meet its obligations,
iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,
v) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the third-party
guarantees or credit enhancements.
Financial assets are written off when there are no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage ina repayment plan with the Company.
Assets in the nature of Investment, security deposits, loans and advances are measured using 12 months expected creditlosses (ECL). Balances with Banks is subject to low credit risk due to good credit rating assigned to these banks. Tradereceivables are measured using lifetime expected credit losses.
For trade receivables, as a practical expedient, the Company computes credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix.The provision matrix is prepared based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivables andis adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is given below.
