h) Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligations (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefitswill be required to settle the obligations and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of theobligations. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted usingequivalent period government securities interest rate. Unwinding of the discount is recognised inthe statement of Profit and loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheetdate and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events,the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one ormore uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company or a presentobligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resourceswill be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Information oncontingent liability is disclosed in the Notes to be Financial Statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised. However when the realisation of income is virtually certain,then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.
i) Current and Non-current Classification
The company presents assets and liabilities in statement of financial position based on current /non-current classification.
The company has presented non-current assets and current assets before equity, non-currentliabilities and current liabilities in accordance with Schedule III, Division II of Companies Act, 2013notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
An assets is classified as current when it is :
a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle.
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading.
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability forat least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-currentA liability is classified as current when it is :
a) Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading
c) Due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period or
d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelvemonths after the reporting period
All other liabilities are classified as non-current
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and theirrealisation in cash or cash equivalents. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non¬current assets and liabilities. The company has identified twelve months as its normal operatingcycle.
j) Fair Value Measurement :
The company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair valuemeasurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer theliability takes place either.
a) In the principal market for the asset or liability or
b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset orliability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company. The fair valueof an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would usewhen pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic bestinterest.
A fair value measurement of non-financial asset takes into account a market participants ability togenerate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to anothermarket participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for whichsufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observableinputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statementsare categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest levelinput that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.
a) Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
b) Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fairvalue measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
c) Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fairvalue measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the
company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re¬assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuemeasurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
k) Offseffing Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheetwhere there is a legally enforceable rights to offset the recognised amounts and there is anintention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Thelegally enforceable rights must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in thenormal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the companyor counterparty.
iii) Significant Accounting Judgement, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities and theaccompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about theseassumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to thecarrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future period. The key assumptions concerning thefuture and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significnatrisk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the nextfinancial year, are described below. The company based its assumptions and estimates on parametersavailable when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptionsabout future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arisingthat are beyond the control of the company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when theyoccur.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Internal technical team or user team assess the remaining useful lives and residual value of property,plant and equipment. Management believes that the assigned useful lives and residual value arereasonable.
Contingencies
Management has estimated the possible outflow of resources at the end of each annual reportingperiod, if any, in respect of contingencies / claim / litigations against the company as it is not possible topredict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default andexpected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting theinputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company's past history, existing market conditions aswell as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may beimpaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, theCompany estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of anasset's or Cash Generating Units (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It isdetermined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent to those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset orCGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to itsrecoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to theirpresent value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time valueof money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less cost of disposal recentmarket transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriatevaluation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other availablefair value indicators.
Defined Benefits Plans
The Cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value ofsuch obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves makingvarious assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include thedetermination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due tothe complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation ishighly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuationtechniques including the Discounted Cash flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are takenfrom observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement isrequired in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk,credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fairvalue of financial instruments.
