2.21 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingentassets
Provisions are measured at the Present value of themanagement's best estimate (these estimated are reviewedat each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the currentbest estimate) of the expenditure required to settle thepresent obligation at the end of reporting period. Provisionsinvolving substantial degree of estimation in measurementare recognized when there is a present obligation as a resultof past events and it is probable that there will be an outflowof resources.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed only when there is apossible obligation arising from past events, the existenceof which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬occurrence of one or more uncertain future events which isnot wholly within the control of the Company or a presentobligation that arises from past events where it is either notprobable that an outflow of resources will be required tosettle the obligation or estimate of the amount cannot bemeasured reliably.
No contingent asset is recognized but disclosed by way ofnotes to accounts only when its recognition is virtually certain.
2.22 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that theeconomic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenuecan be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment isbeing made. Amount of sales are net of goods and service tax,sale returns, trade allowances and discounts.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognisedwhen control of the goods is transferred to the customer onsatisfaction of performance obligations. The Performanceobligations as per contracts with customers are fulfilled atthe time of dispatch or delivery of goods depending upon theterms agreed with customer.
Revenue towards satisfaction of performance obligation ismeasured at the amount of transaction price (net of variableconsideration and provision for sales returns) allocated tothat performance obligation. Amounts disclosed as revenueare net of returns and trade discounts, rebates, incentives,etc. A receivable is recognised where the Company's right toconsideration is unconditional. The Company collects goodsand services tax on behalf of the government and therefore,these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company.Hence, these are excluded from the revenue.
Additional points:
Contract assets/contract liabilities
When either party to a contract has performed, an entity shallpresent the contract in the balance sheet as contract asset orcontract liability, depending on the relationship between theentity's performance and the customer's payment.
Principal vs agent :
The Company assesses its revenue arrangement in orderto determine if its business partner is acting as a principleor as an agent by analysing whether the Company hasprimary obligation for pricing latitude and exposure to credit /
inventory risk associated with the sale of goods. The Companyhas concluded that certain arrangements are on principal toagent basis where its business partner is acting as an agent.Hence, sale of goods to its business partner is recognisedonce they are sold to the end customer.
Rights of return :
Certain contracts provide a customer with a right to returnthe goods within a specified period. The Company uses theexpected value method to estimate the goods that will bereturned because this method best predicts the amount ofvariable consideration to which the Company will be entitled.The requirements in Ind AS 115 on constraining estimates ofvariable consideration are also applied in order to determinethe amount of variable consideration that can be includedin the transaction price. For goods that are expected to bereturned, instead of revenue, the Company recognises arefundable liability. A right of return asset and correspondingadjustment to change in inventory is also recognised for theright to recover products from a customer.
Returnable assets :
Assets and liabilities arising from returns i.e. Returnable assetsrepresents the Company's right to recover the goods expectedto be returned by customers. The asset is measured at theformer carrying amount of the inventory, less any expectedcosts to recover the goods, including any potential decreasein the value of the returned goods. The Company updates themeasurement of the asset recorded for any revisions to itsexpected level of returns, as well as any additional decreasein the value of the returned products.
Refundable liabilities:
A refundable liability is the obligation to refund some or all ofthe consideration received (or receivable) from the customerand is measured at the amount the Company ultimatelyexpects it will have to return to the customer. The Companyupdates its estimates of refundable liabilities (and thecorresponding change in the transaction price) at the end ofeach reporting period. Refer to above accounting policy onvariable consideration.
Allowance for uncollectible trade receivables:
Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated attheir nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances forestimated irrecoverable amounts. Estimated irrecoverableamounts are based on the ageing of the receivable balanceand historical experience. Additionally, a large number ofminor receivables is grouped into homogeneous groupsand assessed for impairment collectively. Individual trade
receivables are written off when management deems themnot to be collectible.
Other income :
Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it isprobable that the economic benefits will flow to the Companyand the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest isaccrued on time proportion basis, by reference to the principleoutstanding at the effective interest rate.
Dividends
Income from dividend on investments is accrued in the year inwhich it is declared, whereby the Company's right to receiveis established.
All other income is recognized on accrual basis when nosignificant uncertainty exists on their receipt.
2.23 Income taxes
Income tax expense for the year comprises of current taxand deferred tax. It is recognised in the Statement of Profitand Loss except to the extent it relates to any businesscombination or to an item which is recognised directly inequity or in other comprehensive income.
a) Current tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measuredat the amount expected to be recovered from or paid tothe tax authorities in accordance with the Income TaxAct, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax lawsused to compute the amount are those that are enactedor substantively enacted at the reporting date. Currentincome tax relating to items recognized outside statementof profit or loss is recognized outside statement of profit orloss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).Current tax items are recognized in correlation to theunderlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.Management periodically evaluates positions takenin the tax returns with respect to situations in whichapplicable tax regulations are subject to interpretationand establishes provisions where appropriate.
b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method ontemporary differences between the tax bases of assetsand liabilities and their carrying amounts for financialreporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductibletemporary differences, the carry forward of unused taxcredits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assetsare recognized to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profit will be available against which the deductibletemporary differences, and the carry forward of unused taxcredits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewedat each reporting date and reduced to the extent thatit is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit willbe available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assetto be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re¬assessed at each reporting date and are recognized tothe extent that it has become probable that future taxableprofits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the taxrates that are expected to apply in the year when the assetis realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (andtax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enactedat the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outsidestatement of profit or loss is recognized outside statementof profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized incorrelation to the underlying transaction either in OCI ordirectly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offsetif a legally enforceable right exists to set off current taxassets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxesrelate to the same taxable Company Group and the sametaxation authority.
2.24 Employee benefits
i) Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured onan undiscounted basis and are expensed as the relatedservice is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to bepaid under performance related pay if the Company has apresent, legal or constructive obligation to pay this amountas a result of past service provided by the employee andthe obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii) Post-employment benefits
Employee benefit that are payable after the completionof employment are Post-Employment Benefit (other
than termination benefit). Company has identified post
employment benefits:
a) Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are those plans in whichthe Company pays fixed contribution into separateentities and will have no legal or constructiveobligation to pay further amounts. Provident Fund andEmployee State Insurance are Defined ContributionPlans in which Company pays a fixed contribution andwill have no further obligation beyond the monthlycontributions and are recognised as an expenses inStatement of Profit & Loss.
b) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefitplan other than a defined contribution plan.
Company pays Gratuity as per provisions of thePayment of Gratuity Act. The Company's net obligationin respect of defined benefit plans is calculatedseparately for each plan by estimating the amount offuture benefit that employees have earned in returnfor their service in the current and prior periods; thatbenefit to employees is discounted to determine itspresent value.
The calculation is performed annually by a qualifiedactuary using the projected unit credit method.The net interest cost is calculated by applying thediscount rate to the net balance of the definedbenefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets.This cost is included in employee benefit expense inthe statement of profit and loss. Any actuarial gains orlosses pertaining to components of re-measurementsof net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognizedin OCI in the period in which they arise. The calculationis performed annually by a qualified actuary using theprojected unit credit method. The net interest costis calculated by applying the discount rate to thenet balance of the defined benefit obligation andthe fair value of plan assets. This cost is included inemployee benefit expense in the statement of profitand loss. Any actuarial gains or losses pertaining tocomponents of re-measurements of net definedbenefit liability/(asset) are recognized in OCI in theperiod in which they arise.
c) Compensated absences
The liabilities for leave balance are not expected tobe settled wholly within 1 2 months after the end of
the reporting period in which the employees renderthe related service. They are therefore measured asthe present value of expected future payments to bemade in respect of services provided by employees upto the end of the reporting period using the projectedunit credit method. The benefits are discounted usingthe market yields on government bonds at the end ofthe reporting period that have terms approximating tothe terms of the related obligation. Remeasurementsas a result of experience adjustments and changes inactuarial assumptions are recognised in statement ofprofit and loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilitiesin the balance sheet if the entity does not have anunconditional right to defer settlement for at leasttwelve months after the reporting period, regardlessof when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
2.25 Earnings per share
Basic earnings/(loss) Per Share is calculated by dividingthe net profit or loss for the period attributable to equityshareholders by weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings/(loss) pershare, net profit after tax during the year and the weightedaverage number of shares outstanding during the year areadjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.26 Leases
Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether acontract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveysthe right to control the use of an identified asset for a periodof time in exchange for consideration.
Company as lessee
The Company applies a single recognition and measurementapproach for all leases, except for short-term leases andleases of low-value assets. The Company recognises leaseliabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assetsrepresenting the right to use the underlying assets.
The Company determines the lease term as the non¬cancellable term of the lease, together with any periodscovered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonablycertain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an optionto terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not tobe exercised.
Right of use assets
The Company recognises right-of-use assets at thecommencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlyingasset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measuredat cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairmentlosses, and adjusted for any measurement of lease liabilities.The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount oflease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred andlease payments made at or before the commencement dateless any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets aredepreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term oruseful life of assets which ever is lower, if ownership of theleased asset transfer to the Company at the end of leaseterm or the cost reflects the exercise of purchase option,depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful lifeof the assets. The Right-of-use assets are also subjectto impairment.
Right of Use Assets having definite life are depreciated onstraight line method in their useful life mentioned below:
a) Right of use assets 05-15 Years as per term of lease
Lease liability
At the commencement date of the lease, the Companyrecognises lease liabilities measured at the present value oflease payments to be made over the lease term. The leasepayments include fixed payments less any lease incentivesreceivable. Variable lease payments that do not depend onan index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless theyare incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which theevent or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, theCompany uses its incremental borrowing rate at the leasecommencement date because the interest rate implicit in thelease is not readily determinable. After the commencementdate, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflectthe accretion of interest and reduced for the lease paymentsmade. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities isremeasured if there is a modification, a change in the leaseterm, a change in the lease payments or a change in theassessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short term lease and leases of low value assetsThe Company applies the short-term lease recognitionexemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that havea lease term of 12 months or less from the commencementdate and do not contain a purchase option). It also appliesthe lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to itemsthat are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-
term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised asexpense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.27 Government grants
Grants from the Government are recognised when there isreasonable assurance that all the underlying conditions willbe complied with and the grants will be received.
Government Grant whose primary condition is that theCompany should purchase,construct or otherwise acquirecapital assets are presented by adding them to the carryingvalue of Assets. The grant is recognized as income over thelife of depreciable asset by way of transferring balance fromdeferred revenue income to other income.

51 FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURESi) Fair values hierarchy
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are divided into three Levels ofa fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for financial instruments.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques whichmaximise the use of observable market data rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Valuation process and technique used to determine fair value
Level 1: Quoted prices in the active market. This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quotedprices in the active market. This category consists of mutual funds.
Level 2: Valuation techniques with observable inputs. This level of hierarchy includes items measured using inputs other than quotedprices included within Level 1 that are observable for such items, either directly or indirectly. This level of hierarchy consists ofinvestment in equity shares of private limited companies.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the Financial Statements are areasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantlydifferent from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
