ACCOUNTING POLICY

You can view the entire text of Accounting Policy of the company for the latest year.
Year End :2026-03 

2. Material Accounting Policies

I. a) Statement of Compliance:

The financial statements have been prepared with all material aspect complied with
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind As) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013 (the Act) read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.

b) Basis of Preparation:

These individual financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual
basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values. The
Ind AS is prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and amendments thereto.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued
accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting
standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. The Company
retains the presentation and classification of items in the financial statements from one
period to the next.

II. Use of Estimates:

The preparation and presentation of financial statements are in conformity with the Ind As
which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) on the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to the
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in
any future periods affected. Management believes that the estimates used in the
preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ
due to these estimates and differences between the actual results and estimates are
recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of
resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in the
following notes:

Note - 2(xvi) Current / Deferred Tax Liabilities
Note - 2(xv) Measurement of defined benefit obligations
Note - 2(vi) Expected credit loss for receivables
Note - 2(vi) Fair valuation of investments

III. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgement used in application of Accounting
Policies

a. Income Taxes

Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for Income Taxes,
including amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions. (Also
refer Note 16 and 30.)

b. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base
of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after
determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual
value at the end of its life. The useful life and residual values of the Company's assets
are determined by the Management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed
periodically, including at each financial year end. The life is based on historical
experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may
impact their life such as changes in technology. (Refer Note 3)

c. Impairment of Financial Assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk
of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these
assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation based on
empirical evidence available without undue cost or effort, existing market
conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(Refer Note 37).

d. Defined Benefit Plan

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the
present value of such obligations is determined using actuarial valuation. 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, mortality rates and attrition rate. 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. (Refer Note 27.1).

e. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the
balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their
fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash
Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets,
where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in
establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity
risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could
affect the reported fair values of financial instruments. (Refer Note 36).

IV. Property. Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:

a) Property Plant and Equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the
production or supply of goods and services, rental to others or for administrative
purposes and are expected to be used during more than one period. The cost of an
item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if and only, if 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. Freehold land is carried
at cost less accumulated impairment losses. All other items of property, plant and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.

Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:

Ý Its purchase price, all costs including financial costs till assets are ready for
use are capitalized to the cost of qualifying assets. CENVAT/Tax credit, if any,
are accounted for by reducing the cost of capital goods;

Ý Any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended
by management.

All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the
reporting period in which they are incurred.

b) Capital work in progress:

Capital work in progress is stated at cost and net of accumulated impairment losses,
if any. All the direct expenditure related to implementation including incidental
expenditure incurred during the period of implementation of a project, till it is ready
for use, is accounted as Capital work in progress (CWIP). When ready for use, the
same is transferred / allocated to the respective item of property, plant and
equipment. Pre-operating costs, being indirect in nature, are expensed to the profit
and loss as and when incurred.

c) Depreciation methods. estimated useful life and residual value:

Depreciation is provided for property, plant and equipment so as to expense the
cost over their estimated useful lives based on evaluation. The residual values,
useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has been provided on straight line
method except on Plant & Equipment which is on Written Down Value Method
based on the useful life specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
However, land is not depreciated.

The useful lives are mentioned below:

Depreciation is calculated on pro rata basis with reference to the date of
addition/disposal. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of
asset.

d) Derecognition of Property, Plant and Equipment:

The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized
on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. The gain or loss from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment is recognised in the profit and loss account when the item is
derecognized.

V. Intangible Assets and Amortisation :

a) Intangible Assets:

Intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost (net of recoverable
taxes, if any). Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost less any
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

b) Amortisation methods, estimated useful life and residual value and

derecognitions:

Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful
lives based on underlying contracts where applicable. The estimated useful life and
amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the
effect of any change in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. The
amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the Profit
& Loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 5 years.

The Company derecognises an intangible asset on its disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal and any gain or loss on
derecognition is recognised in profit or loss as gain / loss on derecognition of asset.

VI. Impairment of non - financial assets

The Company reviews the carrying amount of its Property, Plant and Equipment, including
Capital Work in progress of a “Cash Generating Unit" (CGU) at the end of each reporting
period to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates
the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable Amount is determined:

i) In case of individual asset, at higher of the fair value less cost to sell and value in use;

and

ii) In case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified,
independent cash flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit's fair value less
cost to sell and the value in use.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be
less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating
unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized
immediately in the of Profit and Loss.

VII. 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. The Company classifies
financial instruments issued into financial liability and equity based on the substance of
the arrangement and the contractual terms. Significant judgement is required to assess
whether a particular asset is a financial instrument or otherwise. An asset that
represents a contractual right to receive cash that is subject to other than only passage of
time or cannot be sold independently of other operating rights have not been presented
as financial assets. Such assets are mainly in the nature of security deposits and
investments in equity shares for receiving services from third parties including
government-controlled organisations.

Financial Assets

a) Recognition, classification, measurements and derecognition of Financial Assets
Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables,
investments in securities and other eligible current and non-current assets. At initial
recognition, all financial assets are measured at fair value except for trade receivable
those are initially measured at transaction price (See the policy on revenue from
sale of goods and services Note XIII). Financial assets are subsequently classified and
measured under one of the following three categories according to the purpose for
which they are held and contractual cash flow characteristics.

Financial assets are reclassified only when the purpose for which they are held
changes. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to cash flows from the
financial asset expires or when the financial asset is transferred resulting in transfer
of significant risks and rewards to the buyer. Where significant risks and rewards
are retained on transfer of a financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised,
and a financial liability is recognised for the consideration received. Where the
transfer of financial asset results in partial transfer of risks and rewards, the asset is
derecognised if the buyer obtains the right to sell the asset to third party unilaterally
without attaching any conditions else the financial asset continues to be recognised
to the extent of continuing involvement.

i. Financial Assets at amortised cost

The company subsequently measures the following financial assets at
amortised cost by applying the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method to the gross
carrying amount of the financial asset except for financial assets that are credit-
impaired in which case the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised
cost (See the policy on interest income in Note XIII.

Financial assets at amortised cost, at the date of initial recognition, are held to
collect contractual cash flows and have contractual terms that are consistent
with a basic lending arrangement comprising of cash flows on specified dates
that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount
outstanding. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or
loss.

ii. Financial asset at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
Financial asset at FVOCI, at the date of initial recognition, are held to collect
contractual cash flows of principal and interest on principal amount
outstanding on specified dates, as well as held for selling. Therefore, they are
subsequently measured at each reporting date at fair value, with all fair value
movements recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Interest income
calculated using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method, impairment gain or
loss and foreign exchange gain or loss are recognised in the of Profit and Loss.
On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in
Other Comprehensive Income is reclassified from the OCI to Profit and Loss.

iii. Financial assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL)

Financial Assets at FVPL, at the date of initial recognition, are held for trading,
or which are measured neither at Amortised Cost nor at Fair Value through OCI.
Therefore, they are subsequently measured at each reporting date at fair value,
with all fair value movements recognised in the Profit and Loss.
b)
Impairment of financial assets:

At each reporting date, the company assesses, whether a financial assets or group of
financial assets is impaired. In accordance of Ind AS 109, the company applies
expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment
loss. As a practical expedient, the company uses a provision matrix to determine
impairment loss on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based

on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of trade receivables.
ECL impairment loss allowances (or reversal) recognized during the period is
recognized as an expense / income respectively in the profit and loss. Provision for
ECL is presented as deduction from carrying amount of trade receivables. For all
other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12
month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses, if the
credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.

Financial Liabilities:

c) Recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities include long-term and short-term loans and borrowings, trade
and other payables and other eligible current and non-current liabilities. All
financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and
borrowings and other payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The
Company derecognises a financial liability when the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

After initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified under one of the following
two categories:

i. Financial liabilities at amortised cost

After initial recognition, such financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortised cost by applying the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method to the
gross carrying amount of the financial liability. The EIR amortisation is
included in finance expense in the profit or loss.

ii. Financial liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVPL)

Financial Liabilities at FVPL are those which are designated as such on initial
recognition, or which are held for trading. Fair value gains / losses attributable
to changes in own credit risk is recognised in OCI. These gains /losses are not
subsequently transferred to Profit and Loss. All other changes in fair value of
such liabilities are recognised in the Profit and Loss.

Off-setting of financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously.

VIII. Fair value measurement:

The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three
levels depending on the ability to observe inputs employed in their measurement which
are described as follows:

(a) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.

(b) Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than
quoted prices included within level 1 for the asset or liability.

(c) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting significant
modifications to observable related market data or Company’s assumptions about
pricing by market participants.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a
recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between
levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period
and discloses the same.

IX. Inventories:

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost in respect of raw
materials is determined on FIFO basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business less estimated cost necessary to make sale.

Costs in respect of Finished goods and process stock Inventories are computed on
weighted average basis method. Finished goods and process stock include cost of
conversion and other costs incurred in acquiring the inventory and bringing them to
their present location and condition.

X. Borrowing Cost :

Interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of
funds are identified as borrowing costs. The Company capitalises borrowing costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense
in the period in which it is incurred.

A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get
ready for its intended use. The Company identifies the borrowings into specific
borrowings and general borrowings. Specific borrowings are borrowings that are
specifically taken for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset and that qualifying asset
is not ready for use at the end of the reporting period. General borrowings are all
borrowings other than specific borrowings. Borrowing cost incurred actually on specific
borrowings are capitalised to the cost of the qualifying asset. For general borrowings, the
Company determines the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation by
applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on the qualifying asset based on the
weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to general borrowings. The
capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the Company incurs expenditure for
the asset, incurs borrowing cost and undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare
the asset for its intended use or sale. The capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended
during extended periods in which active development of a qualifying asset is suspended.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when substantially all the activities
necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

XI. Statement of Cash flows:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before tax is
adjusted for the effects of transactions of non cash nature and any deferrals or accruals
of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

XII. Income recognition:

Revenue from Contacts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or
services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The revenue towards satisfaction of performance is measured at the amount of
transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance
obligations. The transaction price of goods sold and service rendered is net of variable
consideration on account of various discounts offered by the company as part of
contract. This variable consideration is estimated based on the expected value of outflow.
Revenue (net of variable consideration) is recognised only to the extent that it is highly
probable that amount will not be subject to significant reversal when uncertainty
relating to its recognition resolved.

When the consideration is received, before the Company transfers goods to the
customer, the Company presents the consideration as a contract liability.

Sale of Products:

The performance obligation in case of sale of product is satisfied at a point in time i.e.
when the material is shipped to the customer or on delivery to the customers as may be
specified in the contract.

Revenue from Job work service contracts:

The revenue relating to Job Work service contracts are recognised at point in time as
control is transferred to the customer on dispatch of goods to them and the revenue
relating to supplies are measured in line with policy set out in “revenue from contract
with customer"

Other Operating Revenue:

Export Incentives:

Export entitlements are recognized in the Profit and Loss when the right to receive credit
as per the terms of 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.

Other Income:

Interest income:

Interest Income from financial assets is recognised at the effective interest rate
applicable on initial recognition.

Other income is recognized on accrual basis except when realization of such income is
uncertain.

XIII. Government grants & subsidies
Export Incentives

Export entitlements are recognized in Profit or Loss when the right to receive credit as
per the terms of 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. Grants from the government are measured at amounts receivable from the
government which are non-refundable and are recognized as income when there is a
reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with all necessary conditions
attached to them.

Income from the above grants are presented under Revenue from Operations.

XIV. Foreign Currency Transactions:

Functional currency of the Company is Indian rupee. The financial statements have been
presented under its functional currency. Any transaction that is denominated in a
currency other than the functional currency is regarded as foreign currency transaction.
All foreign currency transactions are recorded, on initial recognition in the functional
currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between
the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. In case of
consideration received or paid in advance, the exchange rate prevailing on the date of
receipt or payment of advance is considered when subsequently the related asset is
given up or received to the extent of advance consideration.

At the end of the reporting period:

1. foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rate for
immediate delivery at the end of the reporting period;

2. non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and

3. non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured.

Exchange difference arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating
monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on
initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

The company assesses considers a currency not exchangeable into the other
currency if the company is able to obtain no more than an insignificant amount of
the other currency at the end of the reporting period. The company has assessed
that USD and EURO are not exchangeable into Indian Rupee and vice versa for
imports and exports of goods which the company buys and sells in its ordinary
course of business. The company has estimated the spot exchange rate of the
outstanding USD and EURO receivables and payables using an observable exchange
rate without adjustment / using an observable exchange rate for another purpose.

XV. Employee Benefits:

i. Short term employee benefits:

Short Term benefits are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amounts in
the Profit and Loss of the year in which the related service is rendered . In case of
Leave Encashment, the company does not allow carry forward of unavailed leave
and hence unavailed leaves are encashed in the current year itself.

ii. Post employment benefits:

a) Defined contribution plan:

The Employee and Company make monthly fixed Contribution to Government of
India Employee’s Provident Fund equal to a specified percentage of the Cover
employee’s salary, Provision for the same is made in the year in which service
are render by employee.

b) Defined benefit plans:

The Liability for Gratuity to employees, which is a defined benefit plan, as at
Balance Sheet date determined on the basis of actuarial Valuation based on
Projected Unit Credit method is funded to a Gratuity fund administered by the
trustees and managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India and the
contribution thereof paid/payable is absorbed in the accounts.

The present value of the defined benefit obligations is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash flows by reference to market yields at the
end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms
approximating to the terms of the related obligation. The net interest cost is
calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit
obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee
benefit expenses in the profit and loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and
changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they
occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained
earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in balance sheet. Changes in
present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendment
or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

XVI. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period
attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of

ordinary shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period
are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. (Refer Note 33)
