Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent legal or constructive obligation as a result ofpast events, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and the amount can be reliablyestimated. Provisions are not recognised for futureoperating losses, if any.
Provisions are measured at the present value ofmanagement's best estimate of the expenditurerequired to settle the present obligation at the end ofthe reporting period. The discount rate used todetermine the present value is a current pre-tax rate.The increase in the provision due to the passage of timeis recognised as interest expense.
A) A present obligation arising from the past events,when it is not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle the obligation;
B) A present obligation arising from the past events,when no reliable estimate is possible;
C) A possible obligation arising from past events,unless the probability of outflow of resources isremote.
Contingent Assets is disclosed when inflow ofeconomic benefits is probable.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognisedwhen a Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments.
Initial Recognition and Measurement - FinancialAssets and Financial Liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initiallymeasured at fair value. Transaction costs that aredirectly attributable to the acquisition or issue offinancial assets and financial liabilities (other thanfinancial assets and financial liabilities at to theacquisition or issue of financial assets and financialliabilities (other than financial assets and financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss andancillary costs related to borrowings) are added to ordeducted from the fair value of the financial assets orfinancial liabilities, as appropriate, on initialrecognition. Transaction costs directly attributable tothe acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilitiesat fair value through profit or loss are recognisedimmediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Since,trade receivables do not contain significant financingcomponent they are measured at transaction price.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement: FinancialAssets
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequen¬tly measured at amortised cost, fair value throughother comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or fair valuethrough profit or loss (“FVTPL”) on the basis offollowing:
- the entity's business model for managing thefinancial assets; and
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of thefinancial asset.
A financial asset is classified and measured atamortised cost if both of the following conditions aremet:
- the financial asset is held within a business modelwhose objective is to hold financial assets in orderto collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give riseon specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principalamount outstanding.
A financial asset is classified and measured at FVTOCI ifboth of the following conditions are met:
- the financial asset is held within a business modelwhose objective is achieved by both collectingcontractual cash flows and selling financial assets;and
Movements in the carrying amount are taken throughOCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains orlosses and interest revenue which are recognised inprofit and loss. When the financial asset isderecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previouslyrecognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit orloss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interestincome from these financial assets is included in otherincome using the effective interest rate method.
A financial asset is classified and measured at FVTPLunless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI.
All recognised financial assets are subsequentlymeasured in their entirety at either amortised cost orfair value, depending on the classification of thefinancial assets.
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis theexpected credit losses associated with its assets carriedat amortised cost. The impairment methodologyapplied depends on whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk.
- The 12-months expected credit losses (expectedcredit losses that result from those default eventson the financial instrument that are possiblewithin 12 months after the reporting date);or
- Full lifetime expected credit losses (expectedcredit losses that result from all possible defaultevents over the life of the financial instrument).
For trade receivables only, the Company applies thesimplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 FinancialInstruments, which requires expected lifetime losses tobe recognised from initial recognition of thereceivables.
The Company uses historical default rates to determineimpairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables.At every reporting date these historical default ratesare reviewed and changes in the forward-lookingestimates are analysed.
For other assets, the Company uses 12 month ECL toprovide for impairment loss where there is nosignificant increase in credit risk. If there is significantincrease in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade andother payables, loans and borrowings including bankoverdrafts, financial guarantee contracts andderivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when thefinancial liability is held for trading or are designatedupon initial recognition as FVTPL.
Gains or losses on financial liabilities held for tradingare recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings andtrade and other payables) are subsequently measuredat amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculatingthe amortised cost of a financial liability and ofallocating interest expense over the relevant period.The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash payments (includingall fees and points paid or received that form an integralpart of the effective interest rate, transaction costs andother premiums or discounts) through the expected lifeof the financial liability, or (where appropriate) ashorter period, to the net carrying amount on initialrecognition.
The Company de-recognises a financial asset when thecontractual rights to the cash flows from the financialasset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive thecontractual cash flows in a transaction in whichsubstantially all of the risks and rewards of ownershipof the financial asset are transferred or in which theCompany neither transfers nor retains substantially allof the risks and rewards of ownership and does notretain control of the financial asset. If the Companyenters into transactions whereby it transfers assetsrecognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all orsubstantially all of the risks and rewards of the
transferred assets, the transferred assets are notderecognised.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligationunder the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the netamount is reported in the Balance Sheet where there isa legally enforceable right to offset the recognisedamounts and there is an intention to settle on a netbasis or realise the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously. The legally enforceable right must notbe contingent on future events and must be enforceablein the normal course of business and in the event ofdefault, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company orthe counterparty.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in thebalance sheet based on current / non-currentclassification based on operating cycle.
1. Expected to be realized or intended to be sold orconsumed in normal operating cycle;
2. Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
3. Expected to be realized within twelve months afterthe reporting period, or
4. Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted frombeing exchanged or used to settle a liability for atleast twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
1. It is expected to be settled in normal operatingcycle;
2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
3. It is due to be settled within twelve months afterthe reporting period, or
4. There is no unconditional right to defer thesettlement of the liability for at least twelve monthsafter the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non¬current assets and liabilities.
The Company has identified twelve months as itsoperating cycle.
"The non-current assets and disposal groups as heldfor sale / distribution if their carrying amounts will berecovered principally through a sale / distributionrather than through continuing use. Actions required tocomplete the sale / distribution should indicate that itis unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be
made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn.Management must be committed to thesale/distribution expected within one year from thedate of classification.For these purposes, saletransactions include exchanges of non-current assetsfor other non-current assets when the exchange hascommercial substance. The criteria for held for sale /distribution classification is regarded met only whenthe assets or disposal group is available for immediatesale / distribution in its present condition, subject onlyto terms that are usual and customary for sales /distribution of such assets (or disposal groups), its sale/ distribution is highly probable; and it will genuinelybe sold, not abandoned. The Company treatssale/distribution of the asset or disposal group to behighly probable when:
* The appropriate level of management iscommitted to a plan to sell the asset (or disposalgroup),
* An active programme to locate a buyer andcomplete the plan has been initiated (ifapplicable),
* The asset (or disposal group) is being activelymarketed for sale at a price that is reasonable inrelation to its current fair value,
* The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as acompleted sale within one year from the date ofclassification and
* Actions required to complete the plan indicate thatit is unlikely that significant changes to the planwill be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.Non-current assets held for sale / for distributionto owners and disposal groups are measured at thelower of their carrying amount and the fair valueless costs to sell / distribute. Assets and liabilitiesclassified as held for sale / distribution arepresented separately in the balance sheet.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinuedoperation if it is a component of an entity thateither has been disposed of, or is classified as heldfor sale, and property plant and equipment areclassified as held for sale

The defined benefit plans typically expose the Company to various risk such as:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference tomarket yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will createplan deficit.
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the planassets.
Longevity Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of planparticipants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase theplan's liability.
Salary Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such,an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
