Provisions are recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a resultof a past event, it is probable that the Company willbe required to settle the obligation, and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the bestestimate of the consideration required to settle thepresent obligation at the end of the reporting period,taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision ismeasured using the cash flows estimated to settle thepresent obligation, its carrying amount is the presentvalue of those cash flows (when the effect of the timevalue of money is material).
A contingent liability exists when there is a possiblebut not probable obligation or a present obligationthat may, but probably will not; require an outflowof resources, or a present obligation whose amountcannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilitiesdo not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unlessthe possibility of outflow of resources is remote.Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosedin the financial statements. However, contingent assetsare assessed continually and if it is virtually certain thatan inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset andrelated income are recognised in the period in whichthe change occurs.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises frompast events and whose existence will be confirmedonly by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one ormore uncertain future events not wholly within thecontrol of the Company.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sellan asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at themeasurement date, regardless of whether that priceis directly observable or estimated using anothervaluation technique. In estimating the fair value ofan asset or a liability, the Company takes into accountthe characteristics of the asset or liability at themeasurement date. The fair value measurement isbased on the presumption that the transaction to sellthe financial asset or settle the financial liability takesplace 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 mustbe accessible by the Company.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial assettakes into account a market participant's ability togenerate economic benefits by using the asset in itshighest and best use or by selling it to another marketparticipant that would use the asset in its highest andbest use. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosurepurposes in these financial statements is determinedon such a basis, except for measurements that havesome similarities to fair value but are not fair value,such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in usein Ind AS 36.
The Company uses valuation techniques that areappropriate in the circumstances and for whichsufficient data are available to measure fair value,maximising the use of relevant observable inputs andminimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measuredor disclosed in the financial statements are categorisedwithin the fair value hierarchy, described as follows,based on the lowest level input that is significant tothe fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices inactive markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fairvalue measurement is directly or indirectlyobservable.
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which thelowest level input that is significant to the fairvalue measurement is unobservable.
At each reporting date, the Management analyses themovements in the values of assets and liabilities whichare required to be remeasured or re-assessed as perthe Company's accounting policies.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Companyhas determined classes of assets and liabilities on thebasis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assetor liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy asexplained above.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognizedwhen a Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initiallymeasured at fair value. However, trade receivablesthat do not contain a significant financing componentare measured at transaction price. Transaction coststhat are directly attributable to the acquisition or issueof financial assets and financial liabilities (other thanfinancial assets and financial liabilities at fair valuethrough profit or loss) are added to or deducted fromthe fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities,as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costsdirectly attributable to the acquisition of financialassets or financial liabilities at fair value through profitor loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.An equity instrument is any contract that evidencesa residual interest in the assets of a Company afterdeducting all of its liabilities. Equity instrumentsissued by a Company are recognised at the proceedsreceived, net of direct issue costs.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assetsare recognized and derecognized on a trade datebasis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases orsales of financial assets that require delivery of assetswithin the time frame established by regulation orconvention in the market place.
All recognized financial assets are subsequentlymeasured in their entirety at either amortized costor fair value, depending on the classification of thefinancial assets.
Financial assets that meet the following conditions aresubsequently measured at amortized cost:
• The asset is held within a business model whoseobjective is to hold assets in order to collectcontractual cash flows; and
• the contractual terms of the instrument giverise on specified dates to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest on theprincipal amount outstanding.
For the impairment policy on financial assets measuredat amortised cost, refer paragraph of Impairment offinancial assets.
A financial asset that meet the following conditionsare subsequently measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income (FVOCI).
• The asset is held within a business modelwhose objective is achieved both by collectingcontractual cash flows and selling financialassets; and
Interest income is recognized in profit or loss for FVTOCIdebt instruments. For the purposes of recognizingforeign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debtinstruments are treated as financial assets measuredat amortized cost. Thus, the exchange differences onthe amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss andother changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financialassets are recognized in other comprehensive incomeand accumulated under the heading of 'Reserve fordebt instruments through other comprehensiveincome'. When the investment is disposed of, thecumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in thisreserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
For the impairment policy on debt instruments atFVTOCI, refer paragraph of Impairment of financialassets.
The effective interest method is a method ofcalculating the amortized cost of a debt instrumentand of allocating interest income over the relevantperiod. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash receipts (including allfees and points paid or received that form an integralpart of the effective interest rate, transaction costs andother premiums or discounts) through the expectedlife of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, ashorter period, to the net carrying amount on initialrecognition.
Income is recognized on an effective interest basisfor debt instruments other than those financial assetsclassified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognizedin profit or loss and is included in the "Other income"line item.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss(FVTPL)
A financial asset that does not meet the amortised costcriteria or FVTOCI criteria (see above) is measured atFVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet theamortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but aredesignated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL.Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair valueat the end of each reporting period, with any gains orlosses arising on remeasurement recognized in profitor loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or lossincorporates any dividend or interest earned on thefinancial asset and is included in the 'Other income'line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL isrecognised when the Company's right to receivethe dividends is established, it is probable that theeconomic benefits associated with the dividend willflow to the Company, the dividend does not representa recovery of part of cost of the investment and theamount of dividend can be measured reliably.Investments in subsidiaries and associatesInvestments in subsidiaries and associates are carriedat cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.Where an indication of impairment exists, the carryingamount of the investment is assessed and writtendown immediately to its recoverable amount. Ondisposal of investments in subsidiaries and associates,the difference between net disposal proceeds and thecarrying amounts are recognised in the profit or loss.Impairment of financial assetsThe Company applies the expected credit loss modelfor recognizing impairment loss on financial assetsmeasured at amortized cost, trade receivables, othercontractual rights to receive cash or other financial
asset, and financial guarantees not designated as atFVTPL.
Expected credit losses are the weighted averageof credit losses with the respective risks of defaultoccurring as the weights. Credit loss is the differencebetween all contractual cash flows that are due to theCompany in accordance with the contract and all thecash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e.all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effectiveinterest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interestrate for purchased or originated credit-impairedfinancial assets). The Company estimates cash flowsby considering all contractual terms of the financialinstrument (for example, prepayment, extension, calland similar options) through the expected life of thatfinancial instrument.
The Company measures the loss allowance for afinancial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetimeexpected credit losses if the credit risk on that financialinstrument has increased significantly since initialrecognition. If the credit risk on a financial /instrumenthas not increased significantly since initial recognition,the Company measures the loss allowance for thatfinancial instrument at an amount equal to 12-monthexpected credit losses. 12-month expected creditlosses are portion of the life-time expected creditlosses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls thatwill result if default occurs within the 12 months afterthe reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls thatare predicted over the next 12 months.
If the Company measured loss allowance for afinancial instrument at lifetime expected credit lossin the previous period, but determines at the endof a reporting period that the credit risk has notincreased significantly since initial recognition dueto improvement in credit quality as compared to theprevious period, the Company again measures the lossallowance based on 12-month expected credit losses.When making the assessment of whether there hasbeen a significant increase in credit risk since initialrecognition, the Company uses the change in therisk of a default occurring over the expected life ofthe financial instrument instead of the change inthe amount of expected credit losses. To make thatassessment, the Company compares the risk of adefault occurring on the financial instrument as atthe reporting date with the risk of a default occurringon the financial instrument as at the date of initialrecognition and considers reasonable and supportableinformation, that is available without undue cost oreffort, that is indicative of significant increases in creditrisk since initial recognition.
For trade receivables or any contractual right toreceive cash or another financial asset that result from
transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115,the Company always measures the loss allowance atan amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expectedcredit loss allowance for trade receivables, theCompany has used a practical expedient as permittedunder Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowanceis computed based on a provision matrix which takesinto account historical credit loss experience andadjusted for forward-looking information.Derecognition of financial assetsThe Company derecognizes a financial asset whenthe contractual rights to the cash flows from the assetexpire, or when it transfers the financial asset andsubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership ofthe asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety,the difference between the asset's carrying amountand the sum of the consideration received andreceivable and the cumulative gain or loss that hadbeen recognized in other comprehensive incomeand accumulated in equity is recognized in profit orloss if such gain or loss would have otherwise beenrecognized in profit or loss on disposal of that financialasset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other thanin its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains anoption to repurchase part of a transferred asset), theCompany allocates the previous carrying amount ofthe financial asset between the part it continues torecognize under continuing involvement, and the partit no longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fairvalues of those parts on the date of the transfer. Thedifference between the carrying amount allocatedto the part that is no longer recognized and the sumof the consideration received for the part no longerrecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocatedto it that had been recognized in other comprehensiveincome is recognized in profit or loss if such gain or losswould have otherwise been recognized in profit or losson disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain orloss that had been recognized in other comprehensiveincome is allocated between the part that continuesto be recognized and the part that is no longerrecognized on the basis of the relative fair values ofthose parts.
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a Companyare classified as either financial liabilities or as equityin accordance with the substance of the contractualarrangements and the definitions of a financial liabilityand an equity instrument.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured atamortized cost using the effective interest method orat FVTPL.
Financial liabilities subsequently measured atamortized cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading andare not designated as at FVTPL are measured atamortized cost at the end of subsequent accountingperiods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilitiesthat are subsequently measured at amortized cost aredetermined based on the effective interest method.Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costsof an asset is included in the 'Finance costs' line item.The effective interest method is a method ofcalculating the amortized cost of a financial liabilityand of allocating interest expense over the relevantperiod. The effective interest rate is the rate thatexactly discounts estimated future cash payments(including all fees and points paid or received thatform an integral part of the effective interest rate,transaction costs and other premiums or discounts)through the expected life of the financial liability,or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the netcarrying amount on initial recognition.Derecognition of financial liabilitiesThe Company derecognizes financial liabilities when,and only when, the Company's obligations aredischarged, cancelled or have expired. An exchangewith a lender of debt instruments with substantiallydifferent terms is accounted for as an extinguishmentof the original financial liability and the recognitionof a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantialmodification of the terms of an existing financial liability(whether or not attributable to the financial difficultyof the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishmentof the original financial liability and the recognition ofa new financial liability. The difference between thecarrying amount of the financial liability derecognizedand the consideration paid and payable is recognizedin profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value,with any gains or losses arising on remeasurementrecognized in profit or loss. The net gain or lossrecognized in profit or loss incorporates any interestpaid on the financial liability and is included in the'Finance Costs' line item.
The Company enters into forward exchange contractsto hedge the foreign currency risk on trade receivablesand borrowings. The Company does not enter into
any derivative instruments for trading or speculativepurposes.
Recognition and measurement of fair value hedge:
Derivative financial instrument is initially recognized atfair value on the date on which a derivative contractis entered into and is subsequently measured at fairvalue at each reporting date. Gain or loss arisingfrom changes in the fair value of derivative financialinstrument is recognized in the Statement of Profit andLoss. Derivative financial instrument is recognized asa financial asset in the Balance Sheet if its fair value asat reporting dates is positive as compared to carryingvalue and as a financial liability if its fair value as atreporting date is negative as compared to carryingvalue.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects oftransactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals oraccruals of past or future cash receipts or payments.The cash flows from operating, investing and financingactivities of the Company are segregated based on theavailable information.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in theBalance Sheet based on current / non- currentclassification.
• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold orconsumed in the normal operating cycle;
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• Expected to be realised within twelve monthsafter the reporting period; or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted frombeing exchanged or used to settle a liability forat least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
• t is expected to be settled in the normal operatingcycle;
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• It is due to be settled within twelve months afterthe reporting period; or
• There is no unconditional right to defer thesettlement of the liability for at least twelvemonths after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non¬current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non¬current assets and liabilities.
Based on the nature of products / activities of theCompany and the normal time between acquisition ofassets and their realization in cash or cash equivalents,the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12months for the purpose of classification of its assetsand liabilities as current and non-current.
The Company considers all highly liquid financialinstruments, which are readily convertible into knownamount of cash that are subject to an insignificant riskof change in value and having original maturities ofthree months or less from the date of purchase, to becash equivalents.
Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition,construction or production of qualifying assets, areadded to the cost of those assets, up to the date whenthe assets are ready for their intended use. All otherborrowing costs are expensed in the period they occu r.Interest income earned on the temporary investmentof specific borrowings pending their expenditure onqualifying assets is deducted from the borrowingcosts eligible for capitalisation. Where the funds usedto finance a project form part of general borrowings,the amount capitalized is calculated using a weightedaverage of rates applicable to relevant generalborrowings of the company during the year.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit orloss in the period in which they are incurred.
Government grants are recognized when there is areasonable assurance that the Company will complywith the conditions attached to them and grants willbe received.
Government grants are recognized in Statement ofProfit and Loss on a systematic basis over the periodsin which the Company recognises as expenses therelated costs for which the grants are intended tocompensate. Specifically, government grants whoseprimary condition is that the Company shouldpurchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-currentassets are recognized as deferred revenue in theBalance Sheet and transferred to Statement of Profitand Loss on a systematic and rational basis over theuseful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable ascompensation for expenses or losses already incurredor for the purpose of giving immediate financialsupport to the Company with no future related costsare recognized in Statement Profit and Loss in theperiod in which they become receivable.
The benefit of a government loan at a below-marketrate of interest is treated as a governments grant,measured as the difference between proceedsreceived and the fair value of the loan based onprevailing market interest rates.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset andthe net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet ifthere is a currently enforceable legal right to offsetthe recognised amounts and there is an intention tosettle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle theliabilities simultaneously.
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividingthe net profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holdersof the Company by the weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per equity share is computed bydividing the net profit attributable to the equityholders of the Company by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares considered for derivingbasic earnings per equity share and also the weightedaverage number of equity shares that could have beenissued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equityshares.
The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted forthe proceeds receivable had the equity shares beenactually issued at fair value (i.e. the average marketvalue of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutivepotential equity shares are deemed converted as ofthe beginning of the period, unless issued at a laterdate. Dilutive potential equity shares are determinedindependently for each period presented. The numberof equity shares and potentially dilutive equityshares are adjusted retrospectively for all periodspresented for any share splits and bonus shares issuesincluding for changes effected prior to the approvalof the standalone financial statements by the Boardof Directors.
The preparation of financial statements requiresmanagement of the Company to make judgements,estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedassets and liabilities, revenue and expenses anddisclosures relating to contingent liabilities.Management believes that the estimates used in thepreparation of the financial statements are prudentand reasonable. Estimates and underlying assumptionsare reviewed by management at each reporting date.Actual results could differ from these estimates. Anyrevision of these estimates is recognised prospectivelyin the current and future periods.
Followings are the critical judgements and estimates:
(i) Leases
Ind AS 116 -Leases requires lessees to determinethe lease term as the non-cancellable period ofa lease adjusted with any option to extend orterminate the lease, if the use of such optionis reasonably certain. The Company makes anassessment on the expected lease term ona lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesseswhether it is reasonably certain that any optionsto extend or terminate the contract will beexercised. In evaluating the lease term, theCompany considers factors such as any significantleasehold improvements undertaken over thelease term, costs relating to the termination ofthe lease and the importance of the underlyingasset to Company's operations taking intoaccount the location of the underlying asset andthe availability of suitable alternatives. The leaseterm in future periods is reassessed to ensurethat the lease term reflects the current economiccircumstances.
(ii) Income taxes
Significant judgements are involved indetermining the provision for income taxesincluding judgement on whether tax positionsare probable of being sustained in taxassessments. A tax assessment can involvecomplex issues, which can only be resolved overextended time periods. The recognition of taxesthat are subject to certain legal or economiclimits or uncertainties is assessed individuallyby management based on the specific facts andcircumstances.
In assessing the realisability of deferred tax assets,management considers whether some portion orall of the deferred tax assets will not be realised.The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assetsis dependent upon the generation of futuretaxable income during the periods in whichthe temporary differences become deductible.Management considers the scheduled reversalsof deferred income tax liabilities, projected futuretaxable income and tax planning strategies inmaking this assessment. Based on the level ofhistorical taxable income and projections forfuture taxable income over the periods in whichthe deferred income tax assets are deductible,management believes that the companywill realise the benefits of those deductibledifferences. The amount of the deferred incometax assets considered realisable, however, couldbe reduced in the near term if estimates of future
taxable income during the carry forward periodare reduced.
(iii) Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Company exercises judgement in measuringand recognising provisions and the exposures tocontingent liabilities related to pending litigationor other outstanding claims subject to negotiatedsettlement, mediation, government regulation,as well as other contingent liabilities. Judgementis necessary in assessing the likelihood that apending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise,and to quantify the possible range of the financialsettlement. Because of the inherent uncertaintyin this evaluation process, actual losses may bedifferent from the originally estimated provision.Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheetdate and adjusted to reflect the current bestestimate. If it is no longer probable that theoutflow of resources would be required to settlethe obligation, the provision is reversed.
(i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment,and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment, and intangiblesassets represent a significant proportion ofthe asset base of the Company. The charge inrespect of periodic depreciation is derived afterdetermining an estimate of an asset's expecteduseful life and the expected residual value atthe end of its life. The useful lives and residualvalues of Company's assets are determinedby the management at the time the asset isacquired and reviewed periodically, including ateach financial year end. The lives are based onhistorical experience with similar assets as well asanticipation of future events, which may impacttheir life,such as changes in technology.
(ii) Sales returns
The Company accounts for sales returns accrualby recording an allowance for sales returnsconcurrent with the recognition of revenueat the time of a product sale. This allowance isbased on the Company's estimate of expectedsales returns. The estimate of sales returns isdetermined primarily by the Company's historicalexperience in the markets in which the Companyoperates. With respect to established products,the Company considers its historical experienceof sales returns, levels of inventory in thedistribution channel, estimated shelf life, productdiscontinuances, price changes of competitiveproducts, and the introduction of competitive
new products, to the extent each of these factorsimpact the Company's business and markets.
(iii) Provision for rebates and discounts
Provisions for rebates, discounts and otherdeductions are estimated and provided for inthe year of sales and recorded as reductionof revenue. Provisions for such rebates anddiscounts are accrued and estimated based onhistorical average rate actually claimed overa period of time, current contract prices withcustomers.
(iv) Expected credit loss
The Company applies Expected Credit Losses("ECL") model for measurement and recognitionof loss allowance on the following:
• Trade receivables and lease receivables.
• Financial assets measured at amortisedcost (other than trade receivables and leasereceivables).
In accordance with In accordance with Ind AS109 - Financial Instruments, the Company appliesECL model for measurement and recognitionof impairment loss on the trade receivables orany contractual right to receive cash or anotherfinancial asset that result from transactions thatare within the scope of Ind AS 115 - Revenue fromContracts with Customers.
(v) Accounting for defined benefit plans
In accounting for post-retirement benefits,several statistical and other factors thatattempt to anticipate future events are used tocalculate plan expenses and liabilities. Thesefactors include expected return on plan assets,discount rate assumptions and rate of futurecompensation increases. To estimate thesefactors, actuarial consultants also use estimatessuch as withdrawal, turnover, and mortalityrates which require significant judgement. Theactuarial assumptions used by the Companymay differ materially from actual results in futureperiods due to changing market and economicconditions, regulatory events, judicial rulings,higher or lower withdrawal rates, or longer orshorter participant life spans.
(vi) Impairment of non-financial assets
An impairment loss is recognised for theamount by which an asset's or cash-generatingunit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverableamount. To determine the recoverable amount,management estimates expected future cashflows from each asset or cash generating unitand determines a suitable interest rate in order
to calculate the present value of those cash flows.In the process of measuring expected future cashflows, management makes assumptions aboutfuture operating results. These assumptionsrelate to future events and circumstances. Theactual results may vary and may cause significantadjustments to the Company's assets.
In most cases, determining the applicablediscount rate involves estimating the appropriateadjustment to market risk and the appropriateadjustment to asset specific risk factors.
(vii) Fair value of financial instrumentsManagement uses valuation techniques inmeasuring the fair value of financial instrumentswhere active market quotes are not available. Inapplying the valuation techniques, managementmakes maximum use of market inputs anduses estimates and assumptions that are, as faras possible, consistent with observable datathat market participants would use in pricingthe instrument. Where applicable data is notobservable, management uses its best estimateabout the assumptions that market participantswould make. These estimates may vary from theactual prices that would be achieved in an arm'slength transaction at the reporting date.
(viii) Fair value of assets held for saleManagement uses valuation techniques inmeasuring the fair value of financial instrumentswhere active market quotes are not available. Inapplying the valuation techniques, managementuses its best esti mate about the assumptions thatmarket participants would make. These esti matesmay vary from the actual prices that would beachieved in an arm's length transaction at thereporting date.
The Company accounts for its business combinationsunder acquisition method of accounting. Acquisitionrelated costs are recognised in the standalonestatement of profit and loss as incurred. The acquiree'sidentifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilitiesthat meet the condition for recognition are recognisedat their fair values at the acquisition date.
Purchase consideration paid in excess of the fair valueof net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill.Where the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilitiesexceed the cost of acquisition, after reassessing the fairvalues of the net assets and contingent liabilities, theexcess is recognised as capital reserve.
Business Combination under Common controlTransactions arising from transfers of assets / liabilities,interest in entities or businesses between entities
that are under the common control, are accounted athistorical carrying amounts. The difference, betweenany consideration paid / received and the aggregatehistorical carrying amounts of assets / liabilities andinterests in entities acquired / disposed (other thanimpairment, if any), is recorded in capital reserve /retained earnings, as applicable.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excessof the aggregate of the consideration transferred andthe amount recognised for the net identifiable assetsacquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value ofthe net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregateconsideration transferred, the Company reassesseswhether it has correctly identified all of the assetsacquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviewsthe procedures used to measure the amounts to berecognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessmentstill results in an excess of the fair value of net assetsacquired over the aggregate consideration transferred,then the gain is recognised in other comprehensiveincome (OCI) and accumulated in equity as capitalreserve. However, if there is no clear evidence ofbargain purchase, the Company recognises the gaindirectly in equity as capital reserve, without routingthe same through OCI.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at costless any accumulated impairment losses. For thepurpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquiredin a business combination is, from the acquisitiondate, allocated to each of the Company's cashgenerating units that are expected to benefit fromthe combination, irrespective of whether other assetsor liabilities of the acquire are assigned to those units.A cash generating unit to which goodwill has beenallocated is tested for impairment annually, or morefrequently when there is an indication that the unitmay be impaired. If the recoverable amount of thecash generating unit is less than its carrying amount,the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce thecarrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unitand then to the other assets of the unit pro rata basedon the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Anyimpairment loss for goodwill is recognised in profit orloss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is notreversed in subsequent periods.
The Company recognises a liability to make dividenddistributions to its equity holders when the distributionis authorised and the distribution is no longer atits discretion. As per the corporate laws in India, adistribution is authorised when it is approved by the
shareholders. A corresponding amount is recogniseddirectly in equity.
In case of Interim Dividend, the liability is recognisedon its declaration by the Board of Directors.
The Company classifies non-current assets (or disposalgroup) as held for sale if their carrying amounts willbe recovered principally through a sale rather thanthrough continuing use.
Actions required to complete the sale should indicatethat it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale willbe made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn.Management must be committed to the sale expectedwithin one year from the date of classification.
The criteria for held for sale classification is regardedmet only when the assets is available for immediatesale in its present condition, subject only to terms thatare usual and customary for sales of such assets, its saleis highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, notabandoned. The Company treats sale of the asset tobe highly probable when:
• The appropriate level of management iscommitted to a plan to sell the asset,
• An active programme to locate a buyer andcomplete the plan has been initiated (ifapplicable),
• The asset is being actively marketed for sale at aprice that is reasonable in relation to its currentfair value,
• The sale is expected to qualify for recognition asa completed sale within one year from the dateof classification , and
• Actions required to complete the plan indicatethat it is unlikely that significant changes tothe plan will be made or that the plan will bewithdrawn.
Non-current assets held for sale are measured at thelower of their carrying amount and the fair value lesscosts to sell. Assets and liabilities classified as held forsale are presented separately in the balance sheet.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial orsubsequent write-down of the assets to fair value lesscost to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequentincreases in the fair value less cost to sell of an assetsbut not in excess of the cumulative impairment losspreviously recognised, A gain or loss previously notrecognised by the date of sale of the non-currentassets is recognised on the date of de-recognition.Property, plant and equipment and intangible assetsonce classified as held for sale/ distribution to ownersare not depreciated or amortised.
Operating segments are reported in a mannerconsistent with the internal reporting provided to thechief operating decision maker.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies newstandards or amendments to the existing standardsunder Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rulesas issued from time to time. For the year ended 31stMarch, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117 InsuranceContracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases,relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicableto the Company w.e.f. 1st April, 2024. The Companyhas reviewed the new pronouncements and basedon its evaluation has determined that it does nothave any significant impact in its Standalone financialstatements.
Standard issued but not yet effective:
On May 9, 2025, MCA notifies the amendments toInd AS 21 - Effects of Changes in Foreign ExchangeRates. These amendments aim to provide clearerguidance on assessing currency exchangeability andestimating exchange rates when currencies are notreadily exchangeable. The amendments are effectivefor annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025.The Company has assessed that there is no significantimpact on its financial statements.
Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company.Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investment in mutual funds, derivative financialinstruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.
Credit risk arising from investment in quoted equity shares, mutual funds, derivative financial instruments and other balanceswith banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognisedfinancial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating agencies.
The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, loans,other financial assets, borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amountsare a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to their short term nature.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instrumentsand mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stockexchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely aslittle as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, theinstrument is included in level 2.
Level 3:The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that arenot based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
S the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
S the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
S The fair value of investments in Mutual Fund Units is based on Net Asset Value ("NAV") as stated by the issuers of these
mutual fund units in the published statements as at the Balance Sheet Date. NAV represents the price at which the issuerwill issue further units of Mutual Fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from investors.
The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
