Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
Compliance with Ind AS: These financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Ind AS’) as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
The company has adopted IND AS for the first time for its financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018. For all periods up to and including the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 used for its statutory reporting requirement in India immediately before adopting IND AS. The financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2017 and the opening Balance Sheet as at 1st April, 2016 have been restated in accordance with Ind AS for comparative information.
Basis of measurement
These financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value at the end of reporting period. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgments based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.
Fair Value Measurement
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.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Company classifies all other assets as non-current.
A liability is current when:
- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. The operatingcycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cashequivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at acquisition cost net of CENVAT/GST/VAT less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which they are incurred.
Property, Plant and Equipment which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as “Capital work-in-progress”.
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on written down value method over the useful life of assets as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation for assets purchased /sold during a period is proportionately charged.
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on written down value method, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use.
Investment property
The company has investment in a property reported under Investments which is held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in ordinary course of business. On transition to IND AS, the company has opted to continue with carrying values measured under the previous GAAP The fair value of the investment property as on 31.03.2018 was Rs 59.92 cr.
Capital work-in-progress under development
Capital work-in-progress/intangible assets under development are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable borrowing cost.
Financial Instruments:
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets’ initial recognition & measurement:
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place(regular day trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial Assets’ subsequent measurement:
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Debt instruments at amortised cost
- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Investments in quoted equity instruments are measured at fair value and recognised through an irrevocable option in other comprehensive income as prescribed by IND AS 109.
The investments in mutual funds are measured at fair value and recognized as FVTPL and routed through Statement of Profit & Loss.The MTM gain on mutual funds was booked in other comprehensive income in FY 2016-17 which was then subsequently reclassified to profit and loss account in FY 2017-18. There is a reclassification from Available for sale securities to FVTPL. The entity has recognized net gain of Rs.46.03 crores in other comprehensive income on quoted investments.
Other financial assets are stated at their realizable value(carrying cost).

Inventories:
Stock in trade comprises of the unsold residential units. The units are valued at total cost of construction including land, construction expenses and overheads directly attributable to the project.
Cash & Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and deposit with banks and corporations. The company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:
Provisions are recognized, when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, where it is probable that there will be outflow of resources to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. Where the effect is material, the provision is discounted to net present value using an appropriate current market-based pre-tax discount rate and the unwinding of the discount is included in finance costs.
Contingent liabilities are recognized only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, due to occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Company, or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources, or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. Obligations are assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources are provided for.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is recognized 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 at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.
- In respect of Fund based activities, interest is accrued in respect of loans/advances where the accounts are regular.

Trade Payables
There is no amount outstanding payable to Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises as on the Balance Sheet date.
Impairment of Assets
An asset is tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the carrying cost of the asset exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized in Statement of Profit & Loss to the extent of reduction. The impairment loss recognized in previous accounting period, if any, is reversed if there is any change in estimate of the recoverable amount.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the year comprises of current tax and deferred tax. It is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination or to an item which is recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year using applicable tax rates at the Balance Sheet date, and any adjustment to taxes in respect of previous years. Interest and penalties, if any, related to income tax are included in current tax expense.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that either future taxable profits or reversal of deferred tax liabilities will be available, against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off set when there is a legally enforceable right to off set current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
