2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS2.1. Statement of compliance
The standalone financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III) (as amended from time to time).
These standalone financial statements have been prepared for the Company as a going concern on the basis of relevant Ind AS that are effective at the Company’s annual reporting date, 31st March 2024. These standalone financial statements were authorised for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on 23rd May 2024.
2.2. Functional and Presentation Currency
The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. All the amounts are rounded to the nearest rupee Lakhs, unless otherwise indicated. Transaction and balances with values below INR 50,000 have been reflected as "0.00" in standalone financial statements.
2.3. Basis of Measurement
a) Historical cost convention
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis (i.e. on accrual basis), except for the following items:
• Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) are measured at fair value or amortised cost and
• Net defined benefit assets/(liability) are measured at fair value of plan assets, less present value of defined benefit obligations.
2.4. Measurement of Fair Value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if the market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in the financial statements is determined on such a basis except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 Inventories.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a finance team that has overall responsibility
for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.
The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information is used to measure fair values, then the finance team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
2.5. Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires Management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. These estimates, judgements and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements.
2.6. Assumptions and estimation uncertainties:
Key source of estimation of uncertainty at the date of standalone financial statements, which may cause material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of:
• Useful lives of property, plant and equipment (Refer note no. 3.1)
• Leases-Company as a lessee (Refer note no. 3.5)
• Valuation of Inventories (Refer note no. 3.6)
• Employee benefits (refer note no.3.8)
• Provisions & Contingent Liabilities (Refer note no. 3.9)
• Recognition of deferred tax assets (Refer note no. 3.12)
• Impairment of financial assets (Refer note no. 3.7)
• Estimate of expected return (Refer note no. 3.11)
• Measurement of ECL allowance for trade and finance receivables. (Refer note no. 3.7.3)
2.7. Current versus non-current classification:
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current
- noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- i t is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;
- it is held for the purpose of being traded;
- it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
- it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of noncurrent assets / non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- it is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
- it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
- it is expected to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
- the Company does not have any unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current liabilities include the current portion of noncurrent liabilities / non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalent. The operating cycle of the Company is less than 12 months.
3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES3.1. Property, Plant and Equipmenti. Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of Plant, Property & Equipment comprises of its purchase price, non-refundable taxes & levies, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets. Borrowing cost attributable to financing of acquisition or construction of the qualifying Property, Plant and Equipment is capitalised to respective assets when the time taken to put the assets to use is substantial.
When major items of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacement of any property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably.
Capital work-in-progress comprises cost of Property, Plant and Equipment those are not yet installed and ready for their intended use at the Balance sheet date.
Pre-operative expenditure comprising of revenue expenses incurred in connection with project implementation during the period up to commencement of commercial production are treated as part of the project costs and are capitalised. Such expenses are capitalised only if the project to which they relate, involve substantial expansion of capacity or upgradation.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from its use. Difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit and loss.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
iii. Depreciation
Freehold land is carried at historical cost and not depreciated. Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment is provided using straight line method based as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on assets added / disposed off during the year is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to month of addition / disposal. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end and changes in estimates, if any are accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of asset.
3.2. Intangible Assetsi. Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses if any.
Intangible assets are amortised over the estimated useful life of three years which reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated. The estimated useful life of amortisable intangibles is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and change in estimates if any are accounted for on a prospective basis.
ii. Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
iii. Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life.
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.
3.3. Foreign currency Transaction and Translation
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. The net gain or loss on account of exchange differences arising on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognised as income or expense of the period in which they arise. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing rate. The resultant exchange rate differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are carried at the rates prevailing on the date of transaction.
3.4. Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
3.4.1 Financial assets
(a) Classification of financial assets:
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• those measured at amortised cost.
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss) and
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
(b) Recognition and initial measurement:
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(c) Subsequent measurement:
• Amortised Cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. 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 and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at 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 are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains / (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income
using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains and losses and impairment expenses in other expenses.
• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and loss within other gains / (losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
(d) Derecognition of financial assets:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset
When the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the Company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control over the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
(e) Income recognition:
Dividend is accounted when the right to receive payment is established.
(f) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, bank balances, short demand deposits and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Short term means investments with original maturities / holding period of three months or less from the date of investments. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalent for the purpose of statement of cash flow.
(g) Investments:
I nvestments in mutual funds are primarily held for the Company’s temporary cash requirements and can be readily convertible in cash. These investments are initially recorded at fair value and classified as fair value through profit or loss.
(h) Trade receivables:
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for sale of goods or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are initially recognised at its transaction price which is considered to be its fair value and are classified as current assets as it is expected to be received within the normal operating cycle of the business.
3.4.2 Financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade payables, loans, borrowing and derivative financial instruments.
(a) Classification:
All the Company’s financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at amortised cost.
(b) Initial measurement:
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liabilities (other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(c) Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate Method. The Effective Interest Rate Method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(d) Derecognition of financial liabilities:
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or waived off or have expired. An exchange between the Company and the lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
(e) Borrowings:
Borrowings are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised costs using effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are charged to statement of profit and loss as financial expenses over the term of borrowing.
(f) Trade payables:
Trade payables are amounts due to vendors for purchase of goods or services acquired in the ordinary course of business and are classified as current liabilities to the extent it is expected to be paid within the normal operating cycle of the business
3.4.3 Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign exchange rate risk. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
3.5 Leases - Company as lessee
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset the Company assesses whether contract involves the use of an identified asset, the Company has a right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use and the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the inception date, right-of-use asset ("ROU") is recognised at cost which includes present value of lease payments adjusted for any payments made on or before the commencement of lease and initial direct cost, if any. It is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use asset ("ROU") is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the earlier of useful life of the asset or the lease term. When the Company has purchase option available under lease and cost of right-of-use assets ("ROU") reflects that purchase option will be exercised, right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of underlying asset. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
At the inception date, lease liability is recognised at present value of lease payments that are not made at the commencement of lease. Lease liability is subsequently measured by adjusting carrying amount to reflect interest, lease payments and remeasurement, if any.
Lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate or interest rate implicit in the lease, if the rate can be determined.
The Company has elected not to apply requirements of Ind AS 116 to leases that has a term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. Lease payments of such lease are recognised as an expense on straight line basis over the lease term.
3.6 Inventories
I nventories are Valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost incurred in bringing the inventory to their existing location and conditions are determined as follows:
(a) Raw Material and Packing Material - Purchase cost of materials on FIFO basis.
(b) Finished Goods (Manufactured) and work in progress - Cost of purchase, conversion cost, and other costs attributable to inventories.
(c) Trading goods - Purchase cost on FIFO basis.
The cost of purchase of inventories comprises the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recovered by the Company from taxing authorities), and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the bringing the inventory to their existing location and conditions. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sales. The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.
The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Provisions are made towards slow-moving and obsolete items based on historical experience of utilisation on a product category basis, which
consideration of product lines and market conditions.
3.7 Impairment of Assets3.7.1 Financial Assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether a financial asset is to be impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through loss allowance. The Company measures the loss allowance for financial assets at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for financial assets at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. Loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from gross carrying amount of the assets. The amount of ECL (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.7.2 Non-financial Assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
I f the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss to such extent. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increase in the carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit)
in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.7.3 Presentation of allowance for ECL in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognised in OCI.
3.7.4 Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
• significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
• a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;
• the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise;
• it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
• the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
3.7.5 Write Off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual customers, the Company has a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 3 years past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement
activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
3.8 Employee Benefits3.8.1 Short term employee benefits
Short term benefits payable before twelve months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees have rendered service are accounted as expense in profit and loss account.
3.8.2 Long term employment benefits Defined Contribution Plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans (provident fund and other social security schemes) are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to such benefits.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company’s net obligation in respect of an approved gratuity plan, which is defined benefit plan, is calculated using the projected unit credit method and the same is carried out by qualified actuary. The current service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Past service cost are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Actuarial gains and losses net of deferred taxes arising from experience adjustment and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Compensated absences and earned leaves
The Company’s current policy permit eligible employees to accumulate compensated absences up to a prescribed limit and receive cash in lieu thereof in accordance with the terms of the policy. The Company measures the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of unused entitlement that has accumulated as at the reporting date. The expected cost of these benefits is calculated using the projected unit credit method by qualified actuary every year. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognised is the period in which the absences occur.
The liability in respect of all defined benefit plans and other long-term benefits is accrued
in the books of account on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
Remeasurement gains and losses in respect of all defined benefit plans arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in other equity in the Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Balance Sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Any differential between the plan assets (for a funded defined benefit plan) and the defined benefit obligation as per actuarial valuation is recognised as a liability if it is a deficit or as an asset if it is a surplus (to the extent of the lower of present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reduction in future contribution to the plan).
Past service cost is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straightline basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits are already vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a defined benefit plan, the past service cost is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Past service cost may be either positive (where benefits are introduced or improved) or negative (where existing benefits are reduced).
3.9 Contingent liabilities, contingent assets and
provisions
(a) Contingent liabilities:
A possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or
more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise are disclosed as Contingent liability and not provided for. Such liability is not disclosed if the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
(b) Contingent assets:
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent assets are not recognised and disclosed only when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(c) Provisions (other than employee benefits):
A provision is recognised when as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation whether legal or constructive that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the obligation is expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of reporting date or has no definite settlement date, the provision is recorded as non-current liabilities after giving effect for time value of money, if material. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
3.10 Government Grant
The Company recognises government grants at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the grants will be received.
Government grants received in relation to assets are recognised directly to respective assets for which it is received. Government grants, which are revenue in nature are either recognised as income or deducted in reporting the related expense based on the terms of the grant, as applicable.
3.11 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price adjusted for discounts and rebates, which is specified in a contract with customer. Revenue are net of estimated returns and taxes collected from customer.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at point in time when control is transferred to the customer and it is probable that consideration will be collected. Control is usually transferred upon the shipment, delivery to or upon receipt of goods by the customer, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customer.
The transaction price is documented on the sales invoice and payment is generally due as per agreed credit terms with customer.
The consideration can be fixed or variable. Variable consideration is only recognised when it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Revenue from services are recognised as the related services are performed, the contractual performance obligations are satisfied and there is no uncertainty related to the collection of the said revenue.
The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
Profit Sharing Revenues
The Company from time to time enters into arrangements for the sale of its products in certain markets. Under such arrangements, the Company sells its products to the business partners at a base purchase price agreed upon in the arrangement and is also entitled to a profit share which is over and above the base purchase price. The profit share is typically dependent on the ultimate net sale proceeds or net profits, subject to any reductions or adjustments that are required by the terms of the arrangement. Revenue in an amount equal to the base purchase price is recognised in these transactions upon delivery of products to the business partners. An additional amount representing the profit share component is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
Profit share earned through a collaboration partner is recognised as the underlying sales are recorded by the collaboration partners
Export entitlements
Export entitlements are recognised as income when right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of the exports made and where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.
Interest Income
I nterest income is recognised using effective interest rate method.
The 'effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of financial instrument to:
- The gross carrying amount of the financial assets; or
- The amortised cost of the financial liabilities
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Estimate of Expected Return
Sales return is variable consideration that is recognised and recorded based on historical experience, market conditions and provided for in the year of sale as reduction from revenue.
