4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
4.1 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, if any. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.
To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:
• Identifying the contract with a customer
• Identifying the performance obligations
• Determining the transaction price
• Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
• Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Export sales are recognized at exchange rate prevalent on the date of shipping bills. Domestic sales are recognized net of discounts, Scheme on Sales, Sale Returns and GST.
Revenue in respect of Insurance / others claims and Commission, etc. is recognised only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.
Revenue in respect of Interest is measured as per effective interest method provided in IND-AS 109.
4.2 Dividend to equity shareholders
Dividend to equity shareholders is recognized as a liability and deducted from total equity, in the period in which dividend are paid after approval of equity shareholders in the general meeting as per applicable Ind as.
In other words when right to receive the payment of shareholders is established.
It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
Interest Income:-
Interest income is recognized using the time proportion method based on the rates implicit in the transaction.
4.3 Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
In respect of operating lease, lease rentals are accounted on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease agreements. However there is no lease as on the date.
Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. When acquired, such assets are capitalized at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases
4.4 Government Grants
Grants in the nature of capital contribution towards setting up modernization of projects is adjusted from the cost of the related fixed assets.
4.5 Tax Expense:-
Tax expense is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax and deferred tax
4.6 Current tax
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid/ recovered to/from the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
4.7 Provision for income taxes and Deferred Tax
The Company's tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed on the timing differences at the balance sheet date between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) is recognized based on management estimates of virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such DTA can be realized. The deferred tax charge or credit is recognized using the tax rates and tax law that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
4.8 Employees Benefits
a. Defined Contribution Plans
Defined contribution plans are benefit plans under which the company pays fixed contribution to state managed benefit schemes. The company contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized in the profit and loss account in the financial year to which they relate.
Eligible employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related services.
b. Defined Benefits Plans
The Company has Defined Benefit Plan for post-employment benefit in the form of Gratuity for eligible employees, which is administered through a Group Gratuity Policy with Life Insurance Corporation of India (L.I.C). The liability for the above Defined Benefit Plan is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation as carried out L.I.C. The actuarial method used measuring the liability is the Project Unit Credit Method.
An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate; future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
