2. Significant Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements— This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in preparing these financial statements. These 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 accounting policy hitherto in use.
2.1.1. Compliance with Ind AS - These standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act''), guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, defined benefit liability/(asset) which is recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligation less fair value of plan assets. The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.
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 material accounting policy information used in preparation of the audited standalone interim financial statements have been discussed in the respective notes.
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, and all amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are expressed in thousands, rounded to the nearest thousand, in accordance with the requirements of Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.
2.1.2. Presentation of financial statements
The financial statements (including balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and the statement of changes in equity) are prepared and presented in accordance with the format prescribed in Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, as amended from time to time. The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the balance sheet and statement of profit and loss, as prescribed in Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards.
2.1.3. Operating cycle for current and non-current classification
The Company identifies assets/liabilities as current if the same are receivable/payable within twelve months,s else the same are considered as non-current
2.1.4. Use of Estimates and Judgments
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the income and expense reported for the period and assets, liabilities and disclosures reported as of the date of the financial statements. Examples of such estimates include useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, allowance for expected credit loss, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit plans, considering the extension period for the determination of lease term, etc. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised, and by giving prospective impact in the standalone financial statements.
2.1.5. Recent accounting pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statement.
2.2. Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 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. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are recognized in profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is provided pro-rata on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, based on internal assessment and independent technical evaluation done by the Management.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with the carrying amount of the asset. These are included in profit or loss within other income.
2.3. Intangible Assets - Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, wherever applicable. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable asset is based on a number of factors, including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flow from the asset. The research costs are expensed as incurred. The development costs, which can be capitalized, include the cost of material, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year's end.
2.4. Impairment of non-financial assets -
Assessment is done at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset/cash-generating unit is made. The recoverable amount is higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. The smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets is considered as a cash generating unit (CGU). An asset or CGU whose carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Assessment is also done at each balance sheet for possible reversal of an impairment loss recognized for an asset in prior accounting periods.
2.5. Foreign currency translations
2.5.1. Functional and presentation currency -Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates ('the functional currency’) i.e., Indian Rupee (INR) which is its presentation currency as well.
2.5.2. Initial recognition - On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded 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.
2.5.3. Subsequent recognition - As at the reporting date, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate and 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 initial transaction. Exchange gains and losses 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 year or in previous financial statements are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
2.5.4. Translation of foreign operations- The financial statements of foreign operations are translated using the principles and procedures mentioned above since these businesses are carried on as if it is an extension of the Company’s operations.
2.6. Revenue Recognition
2.6.1. Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services.
2.6.2. Dividend income is recognized as and when the right to receive is established. Interest on Bank fixed deposits is recognized on an accrual basis on certificates of interest issued by banks.
2.6.3. Export benefits and other benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis. Export entitlements are recognized as a reduction from material consumption when the right to receive credit is established in respect of the exports made and when there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.
2.7. Income tax
2.7.1. The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
2.7.2. The current income tax is calculated on the basis of the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions or makes reversals of provisions made in earlier years, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to / received from the tax authorities.
2.7.3. Deferred tax is recognized for all the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognized and carried forward only if it is probable that sufficient future taxable amounts will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. 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 income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet 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 tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
2.7.4. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint arrangements where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences, and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
2.7.5. Deferred tax assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint arrangements where it is not probable that the differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will not be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
2.7.6. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
2.7.7. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxable authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
