Provisions are recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event, and it is probable that an outflow of economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation anda reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation canbe made. Where the time value of money is material,provisions are stated at the present value of theexpenditure expected to settle the obligation.
All provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet dateand adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economicbenefits will be required, or the amount cannot beestimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as acontingent liability, unless the probability of outflow ofeconomic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whoseexistence will only be confirmed by the occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more future uncertain eventsnot wholly within the control of the Company, are alsodisclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probabilityof outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from pastevents and whose existence will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control of theCompany. Contingent assets are disclosed in the financialstatements when inflow of economic benefits is probableon the basis of the judgment of management. These areassessed continually to ensure that developments areappropriately reflected in the financial statements.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the netprofit after tax by the weighted average number of equityshares outstanding during the period.

Stripping activity provision recognized earlier is based onthe policy followed consistently by CIL since its inception.Stripping activity provision was recognized or reversedbased on the current ratio of OB to Coal as comparedto the average Stripping ratio (Standard ratio) of themine. This accounting method has been substantiatedand validated by a multitude of authoritative bodies andforums, including income tax authorities.
The carrying amount of the stripping activity provision isreversed systematically whenever the situation of reversal
arises on extraction of actual volume of overburden overexpected volume thereof. Such reversal is specific tomines at the rate the said provision has been recognized.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformitywith Ind AS requires management to make estimates,judgments, and assumptions that affect the applicationof accounting policies and the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assetsand liabilities at the date of financial statements and theamount of revenue and expenses during the reportedperiod. Application of accounting policies involvingcomplex and subjective judgements and the use ofassumptions in these financial statements have beendisclosed. Accounting estimates could change fromperiod to period. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accountingestimates are recognised in the period in which theestimates are revised and, if material, their effects aredisclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
In the process of applying the Company's accountingpolicies, management has made the followingjudgments, which have the most significant effect onthe amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Accounting policies are formulated in a mannerthat results in financial statements containingrelevant and reliable information about thetransactions, other events and conditionsto which they apply. Those policies neednot be applied when the effect of applyingthem is immaterial.
In the absence of an Ind AS that specificallyapplies to a transaction, other event orcondition, management has used its judgmentin developing and applying an accountingpolicy that results in information that is:
a) relevant to the economic decision-makingneeds of users and
b) reliable in that financial statements: and
(i) represent faithfully the financialposition, financial performance andcash flows of the Company;
(ii) reflect the economic substanceof transactions, other eventsandconditions, and not merelythe legal form;
(iii) are neutral, i.e. free from bias;
(iv) are prudent; and
(v) are complete in all material respectson a consistent basis
In making the judgment managementrefers to, and considers the applicability of,the following sources in descending order:
(a) the requirements in Ind ASs dealingwith similar and related issues; and
(b) the definitions, recognition criteriaand measurement concepts forassets, liabilities, income, andexpenses in the Framework.
In making the judgment, managementconsiders the most recent pronouncementsof the International Accounting StandardsBoard and in the absence thereof those ofthe other standard-setting bodies that usea similar conceptual framework to developaccounting standards, other accountingliterature, and accepted industry practices,to the extent that these do not conflictwith the Indian accounting Standard andaccounting policies and practices as statedin above paragraph.
The Company operates in the mining sector(a sector where the exploration, evaluation,and development production phases arebased on the varied topographical andgeo-mining terrain spread over the leaseperiod running over decades and proneto constant changes), the accountingpolicies whereof have evolved based onspecific industry practices supported byresearch committees and approved by thevarious regulators owing to its consistentapplication over the last several decades.In the absence of specific accountingliterature, guidance and standards incertain specific areas which are in theprocess of evolution, the Companycontinues to strive to develop accountingpolicies in line with the developmentof accounting literature and anydevelopment therein shall be accountedfor prospectively as per the procedure laiddown above more, particularly in Ind AS 8.
Ind AS applies to items which are material.Management uses judgement in decidingwhether individual items or groups of item are
material in the financial statements. Materialityis judged by reference to the nature ormagnitude or both of the items. The decidingfactor is whether omitting or misstating orobscuring an information could individually orin combination with other information influencedecisions that primary users make on the basisof the financial statements. Management alsouses judgement of materiality for determiningthe compliance requirement of the Ind AS.Further, the Company may also be requiredto present separately immaterial items whenrequired by law.
With effect from 01.04.2019 Errors/omissionsdiscovered during the year relating to priorperiods are treated as immaterial and adjustedduring the year, if all such errors and omissionsin aggregate does not exceed 1% of totalrevenue from Operation (net of statutory levies)as per the last audited financial statementof the Company.
Company has entered into lease agreements.The Company has determined, based on anevaluation of the terms and conditions ofthe arrangements, such as the lease term notconstituting a major part of the economic lifeof the commercial property and the fair valueof the asset, that it retains all the significantrisks and rewards of ownership of theseproperties and accounts for the contracts asoperating leases.
The key assumptions concerning the futureand other key sources of estimation uncertaintyat the reporting date, that have a significant riskof causing a material adjustment to the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities within thenext financial year, are described below. TheCompany based its assumptions and estimateson parameters available when the standalonefinancial statements were prepared. Existingcircumstances and assumptions about futuredevelopments, however, may change dueto market changes or circumstances arisingthat are beyond the control of the Company.Such changes are reflected in the assumptionswhen they occur.
The estimates, judgements and associatedassumptions are based on historical experienceand other factors that are considered tobe relevant. Actual results may differ fromthese estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions toaccounting estimates are recognised in theperiod in which the estimate is revised andfuture periods affected.
The application of accounting policies thatrequire critical judgements and accountingestimates involving complex and subjectivejudgements and the use of assumptions inthese standalone financial statements havebeen disclosed here in below:
There is an indication of impairment if, thecarrying value of an asset or cash generating unitexceeds its recoverable amount, which is thehigher of its fair value less costs of disposal andits value in use. Company considers individualmines as separate cash generating units for thepurpose of test of impairment. The value in usecalculation is based on a DCF model. The cashflows are derived from the budget for the next fiveyears and do not include restructuring activitiesthat the Company is not yet committed to orsignificant future investments that will enhancethe asset's performance of the Cash GeneratingUnit (CGU) being tested. The recoverableamount is sensitive to the discount rate usedfor the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model aswell as the expected future cash-inflows and thegrowth rate used for extrapolation purposes.These estimates are most relevant to othermining infrastructures. The key assumptionsused to determine the recoverable amount forthe different CGUs, are disclosed and furtherexplained in respective notes.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused taxlosses to the extent that it is probable that taxableprofit will be available against which the losses canbe utilised. Significant management judgement isrequired to determine the amount of deferred taxassets that can be recognised, based upon thelikely timing and the level of future taxable profitstogether with future tax planning strategies.
employee benefits
The cost of the defined benefit plan and otherpost-employment medical benefits and thepresent value of the obligations are determined
using actuarial valuations. An actuarialvaluation involves making various assumptionsthat may differ from actual developments inthe future. These include the determination ofthe discount rate, future salary increases andmortality rates.
Due to the complexities involved in thevaluation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive tochanges in these assumptions. All assumptionsare reviewed at each reporting date. Theparameter most subject to change is thediscount rate. In determining the appropriatediscount rate for plans operated in India, themanagement considers the interest rates ofgovernment bonds in currencies consistentwith the currencies of the post-employmentbenefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publiclyavailable mortality tables of the country. Thosemortality tables tend to change only at intervalin response to demographic changes.
The Company capitalises intangible assetunder development for a project in accordancewith the accounting policy. Initial capitalisationof costs is based on management's judgementthat technological and economic feasibilityis confirmed, usually when a project report isformulated and approved.
In determining the fair value of the provisionfor Mine Closure, Site Restoration andDecommissioning Obligation, assumptionsand estimates are made in relation to discountrates, the expected cost of site restoration anddismantling and the expected timing of thosecosts. The Company estimates provision usingthe Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) methodconsidering life of the project/mine based on
• Estimated cost per hectare as specifiedin guidelines issued by Ministry of Coal,Government of India
• The discount rate (pre-tax rate) that reflectcurrent market assessments of the timevalue of money and the risks specificto the liability.

During the normal course of business, several unresolved claims are currently outstanding. Theinflow of economic benefits, in respect of such claims cannot be measured due to uncertainties that surround therelated events and circumstances.
A brief of each level is given below.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instrumentsmeasured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are nottraded in an active market is determined using valuationtechniques which maximize the use of observablemarket data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fairvalue an instrument are observable, the instrument isincluded in level 2.
This includes Mutual fund which is valued using closingNet Asset Value (NAV) as at the reporting date.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is notbased on observable market data, the instrument isincluded in level 3. This is the case for investments,security deposits and other liabilities included in level 3.
Valuation techniques used to value financial instrumentsinclude the use of quoted market prices (NAV) ofinstruments in respect of investment in Mutual Funds.
At present there are no fair value measurements usingsignificant unobservable inputs.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, short termdeposits, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables areconsidered to be the same as their fair values, due to theirshort-term nature.
The Company considers that the Security Depositsdoes not include a significant financing component.The security deposits coincide with the company's
performance and the contract requires amounts tobe retained for reasons other than the provision offinance. The withholding of a specified percentageof each milestone payment is intended to protect theinterest of the company, from the contractor failing toadequately complete its obligations under the contract.Accordingly, transaction cost of Security deposit isconsidered as fair value at initial recognition andsubsequently measured at amortised cost.
Significant estimates: The fair value of financialinstruments that are not traded in an active market isdetermined using valuation techniques. The Companyuses its judgment to select a method and makes suitableassumptions at the end of each reporting period.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprisetrade and other payables. The main purpose of thesefinancial liabilities is to finance the Company's operationsand to provide guarantees to support its operations. TheCompany's principal financial assets include loans, tradeand other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents thatis derived directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit riskand liquidity risk. The Company's senior managementoversees the management of these risks.

The Board of Directors reviews and agreespolicies for managing each of these risks, which aresummarized below.
The Company risk management is carried out by the boardof directors as per DPE guidelines issued by Governmentof India. The board provides written principles for overallrisk management as well as policies covering investmentof excess liquidity.
Credit risk management:
Receivables arise mainly out of sale of Coal. Sale ofCoal is broadly categorized as sale through fuel supplyagreements (FSAs) and e-auction.
Macro - economic information (such as regulatorychanges) is incorporated as part of the fuel supplyagreements (FSAs) and e-auction terms
The company enters into legally enforceable FSAs withcustomers or with State Nominated Agencies that in turnenters into appropriate distribution arrangements withend customers. Our FSAs can be broadly categorized into:
• FSAs with customers in the power utilities sector,including State power utilities, private power utilities("PPUs") and independent power producers ("IPPs")under various clauses of Scheme to Harness andAllocate Koyla (Coal) Transparently in India (SHAKTI);
• FSAs with customers in non-power industries(including captive power plants ("CPPs")) as perNon-Regulated Sector (NRS) Linkage Policy; and
• FSAs with State Nominated Agencies.
The E-Auction scheme of coal has been introduced toprovide access to coal for customers who were not ableto source their coal requirement through the availableinstitutional mechanisms under the NCDP for variousreasons, for example, due to a less than full allocation oftheir normative requirement under NCDP, seasonality oftheir coal requirement and limited requirement of coalthat does not warrant a long-term linkage. The quantity ofcoal to be offered under E-Auction is reviewed from timeto time by the Ministry of Coal.
Credit risk arises when a counterparty defaults oncontractual obligations resulting in financial loss to thegroup. Counterparty deafults risk of trade receivables ismanaged by financial assurances like Secutirty Deposits,Advances, Bank Gaurantee etc.
Provision for expected credit loss: Company provides forexpected credit risk loss for doubtful/ credit impaired assets,by lifetime expected credit losses (Simplified approach).Refer Note- 4.3, Trade Receivables
Significant estimates and judgments for Impairment offinancial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosedabove are based on assumptions about risk of defaultand expected loss rates. The Company uses judgmentin making these assumptions and selecting the inputsto the impairment calculation, based on the Company'spast history, existing market conditions as well as forwardlooking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintainingsufficient cash and marketable securities and the availabilityof funding through an adequate amount of committedcredit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to thedynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Companytreasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintainingavailability under committed credit lines.Refer Note 16 (1)(II) Guarantee for the bank borrowings within consortiumof banks and outside consortium, the fund and non fundbased limit for total working capital credit.
Management monitors forecasts of the company's liquidityposition (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities)and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expectedcash flows. This is generally carried out at local level inaccordance with practice and limits set by the company.
