Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that the Company will berequired to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimatecan be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised 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 uncertaintiessurrounding 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).
When some or all of the economic benefits required tosettle a provision are expected to be recovered from athird party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if itis virtually certain that reimbursement will be receivedand the amount of the receivable can be measuredreliably.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising frompast events and whose existence will be confirmed onlyby the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or moreuncertain future events not wholly within the control ofthe entity or a present obligation that arises from pastevents but is not recognised because it is not probablethat an outflow of resources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation or theamount of the obligation cannot be measured withsufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities acquired in a businesscombination are initially measured at fair value at theacquisition date. At the end of subsequent reportingperiods, such contingent liabilities are measured atthe higher of the amount that would be recognisedin accordance with Ind AS 37 and the amount initiallyrecognised less cumulative amortisation recognised inaccordance with Ind AS 115 Revenue from contractswith customers.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividingthe profit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effectof exceptional items, if any) by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the year.The weighted average number of ordinary sharesoutstanding during the year is number of sharesoutstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted bythe number of ordinary shares issued during the yearmultiplied by a time-weighting factor.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognisedwhen a Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments.
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 fair valuethrough profit and 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 financial assetsor financial liabilities at fair value through profit and lossare recognised immediately in statement of profit andloss.
Excluded are trade accounts receivables. At initialrecognition trade accounts receivables (in accordancewith Ind AS 115) are measured at their transactionprice and subsequently measured at carrying value asof initial recognition less impairment allowance (if any)Investments in equity instruments are recognised andsubsequently measured at fair value. The Company'sequity investments are not held for trading. In general,changes in the fair value of equity investments arerecognised in the income statement. However, at initialrecognition the Company elected, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, to represent subsequent changesin the fair value of individual strategic equity investmentsin other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”).
The Company's investment in debt securities withthe objective to achieve both collecting contractualcash flows and selling the financial assets, and initially
measured at fair value. Some of these securities giverise on specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principle and interest. These securities aresubsequently measured at FVOCI. Other securities aremeasured at FVPL.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid financialinstruments which are readily convertible into knownamounts of cash that are subject to an insignificantrisk of change in value and having original maturitiesof three months or less from the date of purchase,to be cash equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalentsconsist of balances with banks which are unrestrictedfor withdrawal and usage. Restricted cash and bankbalances are classified and disclosed as other bankbalances.
Amortised Cost and Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculatingthe amortised cost of a debt instrument and ofallocating interest income over the relevant period. Theeffective interest rate is the rate that exactly discountsestimated future cash receipts (including all fees andpoints paid or received that form an integral part ofthe effective interest rate, transaction costs and otherpremiums or discounts) through the expected life ofthe debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorterperiod, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
I ncome is recognised on an effective interest basisfor debt instruments other than those financial assetsclassified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised inthe statement of profit and loss and is included in the“Other income” line item.
On initial recognition, the Company can make anirrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrumentbasis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value inother comprehensive income pertaining to investmentsin equity instruments. This election is not permitted ifthe equity investment is held for trading. These electedinvestments are initially measured at fair value plustransaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured atfair value with gains and losses arising from changes infair value recognised in other comprehensive incomeand accumulated in the ‘Reserve for equity instruments
through other comprehensive income'. The cumulativegain or loss is not reclassified to statement of profit andloss on disposal of the investments.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
-it has been acquired principally for the purpose ofselling it in the near term; or
-on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identifiedfinancial instruments that the Company managestogether and has a recent actual pattern of short-termprofit-taking; or
-it is a derivative that is not designated and effective asa hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.Dividends on these investments in equity instrumentsare recognised in statement of profit and loss when theCompany's right to receive the dividends is established,it is probable that the economic benefits associated withthe dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does notrepresent a recovery of part of cost of the investmentand the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.Dividends recognised in statement of profit and loss areincluded in the ‘Other income' line item.
Impairment of financial assetsThe Company applies the expected credit loss modelfor recognising impairment loss on financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost, debt instruments atFVTOCI, lease receivables, trade receivables, othercontractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset,and financial guarantees not designated as at FVTPL.The expected credit loss approach requires that allimpacted financial assets will carry a loss allowancebased on their expected credit losses. Expected creditlosses are a probability-weighted estimate of creditlosses over the contractual life of the financial assets.For trade receivables or any contractual right toreceive cash or another financial asset that resultfrom transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS115, the Company measures the loss allowance at anamount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
The impairment provisions for trade receivables isbased on reasonable and supportable informationincluding historic loss rates, present developmentssuch as liquidity issues and information about future
economic conditions, to ensure foreseeable changes inthe customer-specific or macroeconomic environmentare considered.
Significant increase in credit risk
I n assessing whether the credit risk on a financialinstrument has increased significantly since initialrecognition, the Company compares the risk of adefault occurring on the financial instrument at thereporting date with the risk of a default occurring onthe financial instrument at the date of initial recognition.In making this assessment, the Company considersboth quantitative and qualitative information thatis reasonable and supportable, including historicalexperience and forward-looking information that isavailable without undue cost or effort. Forward-lookinginformation considered includes the future prospectsof the industries in which the Company's debtorsoperate, obtained from economic expert reports,financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevantthink-tanks and other similar organisations, as wellas consideration of various external sources of actualand forecast economic information that relate to theCompany's core operations.
Derecognition of financial assetsThe Company derecognises 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 ownershipof the asset to another party. If the Company neithertransfers nor retains substantially all the risks andrewards of ownership and continues to control thetransferred asset, the Company recognises its retainedinterest in the asset and an associated liability foramounts it may have to pay. If the Company retainssubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership ofa transferred financial asset, the Company continuesto recognise the financial asset and also recognises acollateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated in aforeign currency is determined in that foreign currencyand translated at the spot rate at the end of eachreporting period.
- For foreign currency denominated financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost and FVTPL, theexchange differences are recognised in statement
of profit and loss except for those which aredesignated as hedging instruments in a hedgingrelationship.
- Changes in the carrying amount of investments inequity instruments at FVTOCI relating to changesin foreign currency rates are recognised in othercomprehensive income.
Net gain / (loss) on foreign currency transactions andtranslation during the year recognised in the statementof Profit and Loss account is presented under OtherIncome.
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.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidencesa residual interest in the assets of an entity afterdeducting all of its liabilities. Equity instrumentsissued by a Company are recognised at the proceedsreceived, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instrumentsis recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gainor loss is recognised in statement of profit and losson the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of theCompany’s own equity instruments.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured atamortised cost using the effective interest method.
I n general, financial liabilities are classified andsubsequently measured at amortised cost, with theexception of contingent considerations resulting from abusiness combination, non controlling interests subjectto put provisions as well as derivative financial liabilities
The carrying amounts of financial liabilities thatare subsequently measured at amortised cost aredetermined based on the effective interest method.Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costsof an asset is included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item.
The effective interest method is a method of calculatingthe amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocatinginterest expense over the relevant period. The effectiveinterest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimatedfuture cash payments (including all fees and points paidor received that form an integral part of the effectiveinterest rate, transaction costs and other premiumsor discounts) through the expected life of the financialliability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to thenet carrying amount on initial recognition.
Financial guarantee contractsA financial guarantee contract is a contract thatrequires the issuer to make specified payments toreimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because aspecified debtor fails to make payments when due inaccordance with the terms of a debt instrument.Financial guarantee contracts issued by a Companyare initially measured at their fair values and, if notdesignated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measuredat the higher of:
- the amount of loss allowance determined inaccordance with impairment requirements of IndAS 109;and
- the amount initially recognised less, whenappropriate, the cumulative amount of incomerecognised in accordance with the principles ofInd AS 115.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises 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 extinguishment ofthe original financial liability and the recognition of a newfinancial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification ofthe terms of an existing financial liability is accounted foras an extinguishment of the original financial liability andthe recognition of a new financial liability. The differencebetween the carrying amount of the financial liabilityderecognised and the consideration paid and payableis recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financialinstruments to manage its exposure to interest rate
and foreign exchange rate risks, including interest rateswaps and cross currency swaps.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at thedate the derivative contracts are entered into and aresubsequently remeasured to their fair value at the endof each reporting period. Derivatives are carried asfinancial assets when the fair value is positive and asfinancial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The change in fair value of derivatives is recorded in thestatement of profit and loss.
Derivatives embedded in host contracts areaccounted for as separate derivatives if their economiccharacteristics and risks are not closely related to thoseof the host contracts. These embedded derivativesare measured at fair value with changes in fair valuerecognised in the statement of profit and loss.
I n accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating Segments ,the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”)has been identified as the board of directors.
The Company is engaged only in Healthcare businessand therefore the Company’s CODM (Chief OperatingDecision Maker; which is the Board of Directors ofthe Company) decided to have only one reportablesegment from previous year in accordance with INDAS 108 “Operating Segments”.
The Company classifies non-current assets held for saleif their carrying amounts will be principally recoveredthrough a sale rather than through continuing use ofassets and action required to complete such saleindicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to theplan to sell will be made or that the decision to sell willbe withdrawn. Also, such assets are classified as heldfor sale only if the management expects to completethe sale within one year from the date of classification.Non-current assets held for sale are measured at thelower of carrying amount and the fair value less costto sell. Non-current assets are not depreciated oramortised.
A discontinued operation is a ‘component’ of theCompany’s business that represents a separate lineof business that has been disposed of or is held forsale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a viewto resale. Classification as a discontinued operationoccurs upon the earlier of disposal or when the operationmeets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.The Company considers the guidance in Ind AS 105Non-Current assets held for sale and discontinuedoperations to assess whether a divestment assetwould qualify the definition of ‘component' prior toclassification into discontinued operation.
Government grants are not recognised untilthere is reasonable assurance that the Companywill comply with the conditions attaching tothem and that the grants will be received.Government grants are recognised in statementof profit and loss on a systematic basis over theperiods in which the Company recognises asexpenses the related costs for which the grants areintended to compensate. Specifically, governmentgrants whose primary condition is that the Companyshould purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non¬current assets are recognised as deferred revenuein the standalone balance sheet and transferredto statement of profit and loss on a systematic andrational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.Government grants that are receivable as compensationfor expenses or losses already incurred or for thepurpose of giving immediate financial support to theCompany with no future related costs are recognisedin the statement of profit and loss in the period in whichthey become receivable.
A final dividend, including tax thereon, on equityshares is recorded as a liability on the date of approvalby the shareholders. An interim dividend, includingtax thereon, is recorded as a liability on the date ofdeclaration by the board of directors.
Based on the nature of products / activities of theCompany and the normal time between acquisition ofassets and their realisation 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 preparation of these standalone financialstatements in conformity with Ind AS requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions thataffect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at thebalance sheet dates and the reported amounts ofrevenues and expenses during the reporting periods.Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in theCompany's financial statements include, but are notlimited to, expected credit loss, impairment of goodwill,useful lives of property, plant and equipment andleases, realisation of deferred tax assets, unrecognisedtax benefits, incremental borrowing rate of right-of-useassets and related lease obligation, the valuation of theCompany's acquired equity investments. Actual resultscould materially differ from those estimates.
The following are the key assumptions concerning thefuture, and other key sources of estimation uncertaintyat the end of the reporting period that may cause amaterial adjustment to the carrying amounts of assetsand liabilities within the next financial year.
The impairment provisions for trade receivables isbased on assumptions about risk of default andexpected loss rates. The Company uses judgementsin making certain assumptions and selecting inputsto determine impairment of these trade receivables,based on the reasonable and supportable informationincluding historic loss rates, present developmentssuch as liquidity issues and information about futureeconomic conditions, to ensure foreseeable changes inthe customer-specific or macroeconomic environmentare considered.
The Company conducts impairment reviews ofinvestments in subsidiaries / associates / jointarrangements whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amountsmay not be recoverable or tests for impairmentannually. Determining whether an asset is impairedrequires an estimation of the recoverable amount,which requires the Company to estimate the valuein use determined using a discounted cash flowapproach based upon the cash flow expected to begenerated by the investment. In case that the value inuse of the investment is less than its carrying amount,the difference is at first recorded as an impairment ofthe carrying amount of the goodwill.
The cost of the defined benefit plans are based onactuarial valuation using the projected unit creditmethod. An actuarial valuation involves making variousassumptions that may differ from actual developmentsin the future. These include the determination of thediscount rate, future salary increases, attrition andmortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in thevaluation and its long-term nature, a defined benefitobligation is highly sensitive to changes in theseassumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at eachreporting date.
The amount recognised as a provision is themanagement's best estimate of the expenditurerequired to settle the present obligation arising at thereporting period.
The Company's contracts with customers could includepromises to render multiple services to a customer.The Company assesses the services promised in acontract and identifies distinct performance obligationsin the contract. Identification of distinct performanceobligation involves judgement to determine thedeliverables and the ability of the customer tobenefit independently from such deliverables.Judgement is applied in the assessment of principalversus agent considerations with respect to contractswith customers and doctors which is determinedbased on the substance of the arrangement.Judgement is also applied to determine the transactionprice of the contract. The transaction price shallinclude a fixed amount of customer considerationand components of variable consideration whichconstitutes amounts payable to customer, discounts,commissions , disallowances and redemption patternsof loyalty point by the customers. The estimatedamount of variable consideration is adjusted in thetransaction price only to the extent that it is highlyprobable that a significant reversal in the amount ofcumulative revenue recognised will not occur and isreassessed at the end of each reporting period.
The Company depreciates property, plant andequipment on a straight-line basis over estimateduseful lives of the assets. The charge in respect ofperiodic depreciation is derived based on an estimateof an asset's expected useful life and the expectedresidual value at the end of its life. The lives are basedon historical experience with similar assets as well asanticipation of future events, which may impact theirlife, such as changes in technology. The estimateduseful life is reviewed at least annually.
Management has set in parameters in respect of itsmedical equipment specific to the stability and reachingthe contractual availability goals. The property, plant &equipment shall be capitalised upon reaching theseparameters at which stage the asset is brought to thelocation and condition necessary for it to be capableof operating in the manner intended by management.In respect of internally generated intangible assets,management has defined the criteria for capitalisationbased on the version released for each feature to bedeployed on the digital platform. The point in timeat which the version release contain all the essentialfeatures as defined by the management and qualifiesto be a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), the feature isconsidered eligible for capitalisation.
Determining whether the asset is impaired requires toassess the recoverable amount of the asset or CashGenerating Unit (CGU) which is compared to the
carrying amount of the asset or CGU, as applicable.Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value lesscosts of disposal and value in use. Where the carryingamount of an asset or CGU exceeds the recoverableamount, the asset is considered impaired and is writtendown to its recoverable amount.
Ind AS 116 defines a lease term as the non-cancellableperiod for which the lessee has the Right-to- use anunderlying asset including optional periods, when an
entity is reasonably certain to exercise an option toextend (or not to terminate) a lease. The Companyconsiders all relevant facts and circumstances thatcreate an economic incentive for the lessee to exercisethe option when determining the lease term. The optionto extend the lease term is included in the lease term,if it is reasonably certain that the lessee would exercisethe option. The Company reassesses the option whensignificant events or changes in circumstances occurthat are within the control of the lessee.
