Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it isprobable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliableestimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, forexample, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursementis virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, whenappropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage oftime is recognized as a finance cost.
(i) Short-term obligations-
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 monthsafter the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees'services up to the end of the reporting year and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities aresettled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Post-employment obligations-
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) Defined contribution plans such as provident fund and ESI.
Gratuity obligations-
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit plan as calculated arithmetically bymanagement.
Defined contribution plans-
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. TheCompany has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for asdefined contribution plans and the contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), andthose measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of thecash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensiveincome.
For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investmentsin equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initialrecognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
The investment in Kautilya Infotech Ltd., Subsidiary Company, comprising 269,300 unquoted equity shares of Rs. 10 each/-fully paid up, is valued as NIL in terms of its fair value, as its audited Financial Statements for FY 2023-24 states that its networth has been completely eroded.
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value, in the case of a financial asset is not at fair valuethrough profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costsof financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows aresolely payment of principal and interest.
(a) Debt instruments-
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model for managing the asset and thecash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debtinstruments:
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely paymentsof principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measuredat amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized orimpaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows andfor selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measuredat fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI,except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which arerecognized in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized inOCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financialassets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or lossand is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and losswithin other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in otherincome.
(b) Equity instruments-
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company's management has electedto present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequentreclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognized in profit or lossas other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gain/ (losses) in thestatement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCIare not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(iii) DE recognition of financial assets-
A financial asset is derecognized only when:
The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or, retains the contractual rights to receivethe cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks andrewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the Company has nottransferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership ofthe financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where theCompany retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvementin the financial asset.
(iv) Income recognition-
a) Interest income:
Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is therate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carryingamount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flowsby considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similaroptions) but does not consider the expected credit losses.
Dividends are recognized in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that theeconomic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measuredreliably.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceableright to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liabilitysimultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normalcourse of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the group or the counterparty.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year whichare unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per the credit terms.
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less provision forimpairment.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. Accordingly, segmental reporting is performed on the basis of geographical location of customer which is also usedby the chief financial decision maker of the company for allocation of available resources and future prospects.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an originalmaturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(i) Functional and presentation currency:
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment inwhich the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), whichis entity's functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of thetransactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translationof monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognizedin statement of profit and loss.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit andloss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and losson a net basis within other gains/(losses) Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency aretranslated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets andliabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences onnon- monetary assets and liabilities such as equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss are recognizedin profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equityinvestments classified as FVOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans andborrowings, payables, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directlyattributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts andfinancial guarantee contracts.
Subsequent measurement-
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
(a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss-
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilitiesdesignated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for tradingif they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.
(b) Loans and borrowings-
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings aresubsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.
Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortizationprocess.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are anintegral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non-occurrenceof uncertain future events outside the Company's control, or present obligations that are not recognized because of thefollowing: (a) It is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or (b) the amountcannot be measured reliably.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed and described in the notes to the financial statements, includingan estimate of their potential financial effect and uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow, unless thepossibility of settlement is remote.
Contingent assets are possible assets whose existence will be confirmed only on the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertainfuture events outside the Company's control. Contingent assets are not recognized. When the realization of income is virtuallycertain, the related asset is not a contingent asset; it is recognized as an asset.
Contingent assets are disclosed and described in the notes to the financial statements, including an estimate of their potentialfinancial effect if the inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will bereceived and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to the purchase of property,plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight¬line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and thedisclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluatedand are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to bereasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that requirea material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the following areas where significant judgements, estimates and assumptions arerequired. Further information on each of these areas and how they impact the various accounting policies are described belowand also in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which havethe most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, includinglegal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertainfuture events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherentlyinvolves the exercise of significant judgments and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financialyear, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidatedfinancial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, maychange due to market change or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in theassumptions when they occur.
(a) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indicationexists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount.An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGU's 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 of those fromother assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset isconsidered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
(b) Defined benefit plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation aredetermined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ fromactual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortalityrates and future pension increases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a definedbenefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
(c) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based onquoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the NAV model.
Financial assets like security deposits received and security deposits paid, has been classified and measured at amortized coston the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at Balance Sheet date.
Financial liability like long term borrowings received, has been classified and measured at amortised cost on the basis of thefacts and circumstances that exist at balance sheet sate. Average market borrowing rate has been used to fair value the longterm loan at amortised cost.
Custom Duty on imports is accounted for at the time of clearance of goods.
Excise Duty is accounted for at the time of removal of goods.
CENVAT Credit and GST Input Tax Credit, to the extent availed, is adjusted towards cost of materials.
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the costof such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Allother borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders bythe weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, andreverse share split that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholdersand the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutiveequity shares.
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy,described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is insignificant to the fair value measurements as a whole.Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that has a significant effect on the fair value measurementare observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 : valuation techniques for which the lowest level input which has a significant effect on fair value measurement isnot based on observable market data.
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company's assets and liabilities, other thanthose whose fair values are close approximations of their carrying values.
For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, short term borrowing, trade payables and other currentfinancial liabilities the management assessed that their fair value is approximate their carrying amounts largely due to theshort-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of the Company's long-term interest free security deposits are determined by applying discounted cashflows ('DCF') method, using discount rate that reflects the market borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period.They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs includingcounterparty credit risk.
