3.9 Provisions , Contingent Liabilities and Contingent assets
a) Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event,the Company has a present legal obligation that can beestimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow ofeconomic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions (excluding retirement benefits andcompensated leave) are not discounted to its present valueand are determined by the best estimate of the outflow ofeconomic benefits required to settle the obligation at thereporting date. These are reviewed at each reporting dateadjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Warranty obligations included in this type of provisions arenot treated as a separate performance obligation, unlessthe customer has the option of contracting the warrantyseparately, therefore they are recognized in accordancewith Ind AS 37. These provisions are classified as currentliabilities since they relate to the operating constructionprojects cycle, in line with Ind AS 1.
Provision towards guarantee claims in respect of shipsdelivered wherever provided/ maintained is based ontechnical estimation. For the ships delivered, guaranteeclaims are covered by way of insurance policies covering theguarantee period on case-to-case basis, wherever required
Provisions for anticipated losses are recognized when itbecomes apparent that the total costs expected to fulfia contract exceed expected contract revenues. For thepurpose of determining, where appropriate, the amountof the provision, budgeted contract revenue will includethe forecast revenue that is considered probable, in linewith Ind AS 37 as well as incremental costs. General costsare not directly attributable to a contract and are thereforeexcluded from the Budgeted cost unless they are explicitlypassed on to the counterparty in accordance with thecontract, in line with paragraph 68 of Ind AS 37.
b) Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities mayarise from litigations and other claims against the Company.Where the potential liabilities have a low probability ofcrystallizing or are very difficult to quantify reliably, theCompany treats them as contingent liabilities. Such liabilitiesare disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in thefinancial statements. Although there can be no assuranceregarding the final outcome of the legal proceedingsCompany does not expect them to have a materiallyadverse impact on the financial position or profitabilityThe Company does not recognize a contingent liability butdiscloses its existence in the financial statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from pastevents and whose existence will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity.The Company does not recognize a contingent asset butdiscloses its existence in the financial statements where aninflow of economic benefits is probable.
3.10 Revenue Recognition
a) Revenue from Operations
Revenue from contracts with customers are measuredbased on the consideration specified in a contract with acustomer (ie., transaction price, which is the fair value ofconsideration received or receivable)
At the first instance, revenue recognition process involvesidentifying the relevant contracts and technical evaluationof the performance obligations, contained therein.
A single performance obligation is identified in
shipbuilding and/or ship repair segments for each vessel,due to the high degree of integration and customization ofthe various goods and services forming a combined outputthat is transferred to the customer over time.
The company choses the appropriate method of measuringthe progress of the completion at the contract inceptionfor recognizing revenue over time, and are appliedconsistently to similar performance obligations under therespective segments and/or activities carried out thereon.
Recognition of Revenue for a performance obligationsatisfied over time is made only if the company canreasonably measure its progress towards completesatisfaction of the performance obligation.
The performance obligations for the shipbuilding andShip repair activities carried out by the company aresatisfied over time rather than at a point in time sincethe Company's performance does not create an assetwith an alternative use to the Company ie contractualrestrictions and practical limitations to readily direct thatasset for another use (Even in some cases it will be able todo so, it can only be done after significant changes and atsignificant cost) and it has an enforceable right to paymentfor performance completed to date.
Revenue is recognized when the company satisfiesperformance obligations by transferring promised goodsand services to the customer over a period of time usingoutput method based on measurement of physicalperformance completed to date in respect of contractswith customers for ship building and ship repair other thanIndigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC).
In respect of contract with Indian Navy for constructionof Indigenous Aircraft Carrier, which is partly 'fixed pricebasis' and partly 'cost plus basis', the revenue:
• from fixed price portion is recognized usingoutput method .
• by way of mark up from cost plus part of the contractfor procuring and supply of materials and designoutsourcing is recognized when performanceobligations as per the terms of the contract arefulfilled upon making payments to the suppliers.
• The cost of materials, value of design outsourcingand other expenses incurred for the vessel which arerecoverable separately from Navy are charged offto the statement of Profit and Loss when materialsare consumed/activities are performed/expenses areincurred and are simultaneously grossed up with thevalue of work done and recognized as revenue.
In the case of ship repair contracts involving continuousmultiple years maintenance support/ recurring and routineservices, the company opted for time-elapsed outputmethod, i.e, measuring the progress based on time elapsedto reporting date, which is representative of the satisfactionof performance obligation subject to entitlement ofconsideration in exchange of goods and/or services.
Based on the technical assessment considering the latestavailable information to the company, measuring theprogress towards complete satisfaction of a performanceobligation in the method adopted will be revised/updatedon an ongoing basis.
During the initial stages of a contract, where the companymay not be able to reasonably measure the outcome ofa performance obligation and the company expects torecover the costs incurred in satisfying the performanceobligation, revenue will be recognized only to the extentof the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonablymeasure the outcome of the performance obligation.
Contract modifications are accounted when additions,deletions or changes are approved either to the contractscope or contract price. The accounting for modificationsof contracts involves assessing whether the services addedto an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricingis at the stand alone selling price. Where the goods orservices added are not distinct, adjustment to revenue ismade on a cumulative catch up basis. Where the goods or
services added are distinct, and such additional goods orservices are priced at standalone selling prices, the contractmodification is accounted for as a separate contract;whereas if the modification is not priced at standaloneselling price, the same is accounted as a termination of theexisting contract and creation of a new contract.
The Company generally does not recognize any revenuefrom additional work until it has been approved by thecustomer. When the scope of work has been approved butthe impact on revenue is yet to be valued, the "variableconsideration" requirement (as explained below) willapply. This entails recognizing revenue in an amount thatis unlikely to be reversed.
If the consideration promised in a contract includes variableamounts like discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, priceconcessions, liquidated damages or other similar items, theCompany estimates the net amount of consideration to whichthe Company is entitled in exchange for transferring thepromised goods or services to a customer and accounts for thesame. The payment terms are based on milestones specifiedin the respective contracts with customers. On achieving thespecified milestones these payments are released.
Revenue from Supply of Base & Depot Spares is recognizedbased on the satisfaction of performance obligation at apoint in time on proof of receipt of goods from customer.
Unlike revenue recognition, amounts billed to thecustomer are based on the various milestones reachedunder the contract and on acknowledgement thereof bythe customer by means of a contractual document referredto as a progress billing certificate. Therefore, the amountsrecognized as revenue for a given year do not necessarilymatch those billed to or certified by the customer. Forcontracts in which the revenue recognized exceeds theamount billed or certified, the difference is recognized inas "Contract Asset" under "Other Current Assets", while forcontracts in which the revenue recognized is lower thanthe amount billed or certified, the difference is recognizedas "Contract Liability" under "Other Current Liabilities".
Other Operating Revenue with respect to sale of stockitems ,scrap and consultancy income is recognized at apoint in time when the company satisfies performanceobligations and right to receive the income is establishedas per terms of the contract by transferring promisedgoods and services to the customer.
Management fee is also recognized over a period of time.
b) Government Grants
Government grants are recognized when there isreasonable assurance that the Company will comply withthe conditions attaching to them and that the grantswill be received.
Government grants are recognized in Statement of Profitand Loss on a systematic basis over the periods in whichthe Company recognizes as expenses, the related costs forwhich the grants are intended to compensate. Where theGrant relates to an asset value, it is recognized as deferredincome, and amortized over the expected useful life ofthe asset. Other grants are recognized in the statementof Profit & Loss concurrent to the expenses to which suchgrants relate/ are intended to cover.
Ship Building Financial Assistance (SBFA) is recognized
over a period of time in proportion to the expenses / costincurred and classified under "other operating revenue".
Government grants that are receivable as compensationfor expenses or losses already incurred or for the purposeof giving immediate financial support to the Company withno future related costs are recognized in statement ofprofit & loss in the period in which they become receivable.
c) Other income
i) Liquidated damages and interest on advances
No income is recognized on (a) interest on advancesgiven and (b) liquidated damages, where the leviesdepend on decisions regarding force majeurecondition of contract. These are accounted foron completion of contracts and / or when finaldecisions are taken.
In the case of contracts entered into for execution ofcapital works having long gestation period, where theextant commercial terms of the contract provides forprovision of extending interest bearing mobilisationadvance to the service provider for mobilising variousresources for timely execution, mobilisation advancesare paid and interest is accounted on accrual basis.
ii) Accounting for insurance claims
(i) Warranty/Builder Risk claims
In the case of guarantee defects covered underwarranty insurance policies or claims underInsurance Policies taken for ship building and
ship repair works, the insurance claims lodgedare recognized in the financial statements in theyear in which the survey is completed and theprobable amount of settlement is intimated bythe insurance Company.
(ii) Other Insurance Policies
In the case of other Insurance Policies like AssetInsurance, Transit Insurance, Marine Insurance,Cash Insurance etc., the claims are recognizedin the the financial statements on settlement ofthe claims by way of receipt of the amount fromthe Insurance Company.
In the case of Medical insurance, claims arerecognized on due basis, based on the claimssubmitted with the insurance company.
Other items of income are accounted as andwhen the right to receive such income arisesand it is probable that the economic benefitswill flow to the company and the amount ofincome can be measured reliably.

Expenseon non-accumulating compensated absence isrecognised in the period in which the absences occur.
3.12 Taxes on Income
a) Income tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the Balance Sheetapproach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognisedfor deductible and taxable temporary differences arisingbetween the tax base of assets and liabilities and theircarrying amount, except when the deferred tax arisesfrom the initial recognition of an asset or liability in atransaction that is not a business combination and affectsneither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time ofthe transaction.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent thatit is probable that either future taxable profits or reversalof deferred tax liabilities will be available, against which thedeductible temporary differences, and the carry forwardof unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset shall bereviewed at the end of each reporting date and reducedto the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficienttaxable profit will be available to allow all or part of thedeferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognizeddeferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reportingdate and are recognized to the extent that it has becomeprobable that future taxable profits will allow the deferredtax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profitor loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in othercomprehensive income or in equity).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured usingthe tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted by the end of the reporting periodand are expected to apply when the related deferred taxasset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

8. Disclosure pursuant to CAG audit observation
The company reassesses the measurement progress of its performance obligation under the output method as mandatedby Ind AS 115 at every reporting date. During the year, the company noticed that on application of Ind AS 21, the existingmeasurement resulted in variations in faithful representation of revenue in the case of export contracts denominated in foreigncurrency. In order to address the same, the Company refined its quantification approach for the said contracts. Revenue isrecognised by applying the physical completion percentage on the total transaction price, which the company is entitled to,without bifurcating between material and service portions. The effect of change in the quantification measure in the currentyear has resulted in increase in revenue from operations of about Rs. 11808.65 lakhs. The Company intends to consistentlyadopt this measurement technique in recognising revenue for contracts involving similar performance obligations.
