Significant Accounting Policies
1. Basis of preparation of financial statements
(a) Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention except for following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value;
1. Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities (including derivative instruments),
2. Defined Benefit Plans
The Financial Statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India ('Indian GAAP) and comply with the Indian Accounting standards (Tnd AS'), including the rules notified under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, amended from time to time.
The Company's Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is also
its functional currency and all values are rounded to the nearest rupee except when otherwise indicated.
(b) Use of Estimates:
In the application of accounting policy, the management is required to make judgment, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, contingent liabilities and the accompanying disclosures that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant and are prudent and reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if revision affects only that period or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The few critical estimations and judgments made in applying accounting policies are:
i. Property, Plant and Equipment:
Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets are as specified in Specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
ii. Income Taxes:
Significant judgment is required in determining the amount for income tax expenses. There are many transactions and positions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amount that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
iii. Inventories:
Inventory Obsolescence is based on assessment of the future uses. In all cases, inventory is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
iv. 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 indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is higher of assets or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other asset or group of assets. Where carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered as impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flow are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators.
v. 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 Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(c) Current/Non-Current Classification:
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification.
A. An assets 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 12 months after a reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after a reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
B. 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 12 months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
C. Deferred tax asset and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified 12 months as its operating cycle.
2. Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of property, Plant and Equipment ('PPE') recognized as of 1st April 2019 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost of the PPE as on the transition date.
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost include purchase price after deducting trade discount / rebate, import duty, non-refundable taxes, cost of replacing the component parts, borrowing cost and other directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition in the manner intended by the management.
An item of PPE is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when asset is de-recognized.
The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual value. Where the residual value of an asset increases to an amount equal to or greater than the asset's carrying amount, no depreciation charge is recognized till the asset's residual value decreases below the asset's carrying amount. Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the intended manner. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind AS 105 and the date that the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual values, if any, over their estimated useful lives, using the written down value method except intangible assets. Depreciation on intangible assets is provided on straight line basis. The following useful lives are considered for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment:
Description of the Asset Estimated Useful Life Furniture & fixtures 10 Years
Buildings 60 Years
Office Equipment 5 Years
Air Conditioner 10 Years
Electricity Fittings 10 Years
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in useful life or residual value of an asset, the depreciation of that asset is revised accordingly to reflect the new expectations.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of properties, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Investment properties:
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
On disposal of an investment property, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Intangible assets under development:
The amount disclosed as 'Intangible asset under development' represents assets purchased/acquired and not available for use, as at the date of Statement of Financial Position.
An item of Intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any profit or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset measured as the difference between the net disposals proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognized.
Impairment of Tangible (PPE) and Intangible Assets:
At each reporting date, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset (or group of related assets where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset), is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or group of related assets) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount (selling price less costs to complete and sell, in the case of inventories), but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or group of related assets) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
3. 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.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before the revenue is recognized.
Sale of Goods:
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Sale is recognized when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Dividend Income:
Dividend is recognized when right to receive is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest Income:
Interest income on financial assets measured at amortized cost is recognized on time proportion basis, using effective interest method.
4. Lease Accounting
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is (or contains) a lease, if fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Finance leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items (i.e. PPE), are generally capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, at the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges
and a reduction in lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Lease in which significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee is classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of lease on straight line basis other than those cases where the escalation are linked to expected general inflation in which case they are charged on contractual terms.
5. Inventory
(a) Raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, packing materials, stores, spares, components, consumables and stock-in-trade are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished goods in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by item basis. Damaged, unserviceable and inert stocks are valued at net realizable value.
(b) . In determining cost of raw materials, packing materials, stock-in-trade, stores, spares, components and consumables, weighted average cost methods used. Cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition.
(c) Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, inappropriate share of fixed and variable production overheads, excise duty as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
6. 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 recognizes a financial asset or financial liability in its balance sheet only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets:
A financial asset inter-alia includes any asset that is cash, equity instrument of another entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability in its balance sheet only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets of the Company comprise trade receivables. Cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, investment in equity shares of Companies, investment other than in equity shares, loans / advances to employees / related parties / others, security deposit, claims recoverable etc.
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized 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. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in Statement of Profit and Loss. When transaction price is not the measure of fair value and fair value is determined using a valuation method that uses data from observable market, the difference between transaction price and fair value is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss and in other cases spread over life of the financial instrument using effective interest method.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in three categories:
• Financial asset measured at amortised cost
• Financial asset at fair value through OCI
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These financial assets are amortized using the effective interest rate (ElR) method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in finance costs.
Financial assets at fair value through OCI (FVTOCI)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. At initial recognition, an irrevocable election is made (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments other than held for trading purpose at FVTOC1. Fair value changes are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). On Derecognition of the financial asset other than equity instruments, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified to income statements.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Any financial asset that does not meet the criteria for classification as at amortized cost or as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Further, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss also include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial assets at fair value profit or loss are fair valued at each reporting date with all the changes recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
De-recognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds receivables.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit loss (ECL) model on the following:
Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
ECL is measured through a loss allowance on a following basis:-
The 12 month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events on the financial instruments that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date)
Full life time expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of financial instruments)
The company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment on trade receivables or contract assets resulting from normal business transactions. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. However, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, from the date of initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is provided. For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company assesses the credit risk characteristics on instrument-by-instrument basis.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as expense/income in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments:
Classification as debt or equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
The Company's financial liabilities include loans and borrowings including book overdraft, trade payable, accrued expenses and other payables.
Initial Recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities at initial recognition are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the fair value at initial recognition is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss or in the "Expenditure Attributable to Construction" if another standard permits inclusion of such cost in the carrying amount of an asset over the period of the borrowings using the effective rate of interest.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends upon the classification as described below: -
Financial Liabilities classified at Amortized Cost:
Financial Liabilities that are not held for trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are integral part of the Effective Interest Rate. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of cost of assets is included as Finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Liabilities at Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
FVTPL includes financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Financial liabilities have not been designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged/cancelled/expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and net amount is reported if there is currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, to realize assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
7. Transactions in Foreign Currency
(a) Initial recognition:
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(b) . Measurement of foreign currency items at the Balance Sheet date:
Foreign currency monetary items of the Company are restated at the closing exchange rates. Non-monetary items are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising out of these translations are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(c) . Forward exchange contracts:
The Company had not entered into any forward exchange contracts to hedge against its foreign currency exposures relating to the underlying transactions and firm commitments. The Company had not entered into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
8. Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value (at carrying value) and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment if require.
9. Employee Benefits
A. Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelvemonths of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits and they are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. The Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.
B. Post-employment benefits:
(a) Defined contribution plans:
Defined contribution plans are employee state insurance scheme and Government administered pension fund scheme for all applicable employees and superannuation scheme for eligible employees. The Company's contribution to defined contribution plans are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the financial year to which they relate.
(b) Defined benefit plans
(c) Provident fund scheme
The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Employee Provident Fund scheme, for the eligible employees.
(d) Gratuity scheme
The Company has created provision for gratuity based on the report issued by Actuaries.
10. Research and Development
Research and Development expenditure of a revenue nature is expensed out under the respective heads of account in the year in which it is incurred. Fixed assets utilized for research and development are capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Tangible Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets.
11. Provision for Taxation
Tax expense comprises of current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period). The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realization.
