2 Basis of Preparation
The Standalone Financial Statements of Mindspace Business Parks REIT comprises the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss, including other comprehensive income, the Standalone Statement of Cash Flow for the year ended March 31, 2024, the Standalone Statement of Changes in Unitholders Equity for the year ended March 31, 2024, the Statement of Net Distributable Cashflows of Mindspace Business Parks REIT for the year ended March 31, 2024, the Statement of Total Returns at Fair Value for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the Statement of Net Assets at Fair Value as at March 31, 2024, and a summary of the material accounting policies and select explanatory information and other additional financial disclosures.
The standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Real Estate Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014 as amended from time to time including guidelines and circulars issued thereunder read with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/DDHS-PoD-2/P/CIR/2023/116 dated July 6, 2023 ("the REIT regulations"); Regulation 52 and Regulation 54 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015, as amended from time to time ("Listing Regulations"); Indian Accounting Standard, as prescribed in Rule 2(1)(a) of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
to the extent not inconsistent with the REIT regulations. (refer note 13 on presentation of “Unit Capital" as “Equity" instead of compound instruments under Ind AS 32 -Financial Instruments: Presentation).
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.
These Standalone Financial Statements were authorized for issue in accordance with the resolution passed by the Board of Directors of the Manager on April 30, 2024.
Statement of compliance to Ind-AS
These Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard as prescribed in Rule 2(1)(a) of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) to the extent not inconsistent with the REIT regulations as more fully described above and Note 13 to the standalone financial statements.
3 Material accounting policies
a) Functional and Presentation Currency
The Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is also Mindspace REIT functional currency in which Mindspace REIT operates. All financial information presented in Indian Rupees has been rounded off to the nearest million except otherwise stated.
b) Basis of measurement
These Standalone Financial Statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities (refer accounting policy regarding financial instrument) measured at fair values.
c) Use of judgments and estimates
The preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Ind AS) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most material effect on the amounts recognized in the Standalone Financial Statements is included in the following notes:
(i) Presentation of “Unit Capital" as “Equity" in accordance with the SEBI REIT Regulations instead of compound instrument (Note no 13)
(ii) Impairment and Fair valuation of Investments in SPVs and impairment of loans to SPVs.
(iii) recognition and measurement of provisions for contingencies and disclosure of contingent liabilities (Note 30 (a))
d) Current versus non - current classification
Mindspace REIT presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/ noncurrent classification:
An asset is treated as current when it is:
• Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;
• Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or
All other assets are classified 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 date; or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Mindspace REIT classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. Mindspace REIT has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
e) Measurement of fair values
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 and how market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Mindspace REIT accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Mindspace REIT has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.
Mindspace REIT 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 such valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, Mindspace REIT uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair Values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that entity can access on measurement date.
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
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 categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
3.1 Impairment of assets
Mindspace REIT assesses at each reporting date, whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the trust estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where applicable that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows (discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset) expected to arise from the continuing use of the assets and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
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, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.2 Asset Acquisition
If the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets does not constitute a business, Mindspace REIT identifies and recognizes the individual identifiable assets acquired (including those assets that meet the definition of, and recognition criteria for, intangible assets in Ind AS 38, Intangible Assets) and liabilities assumed. The cost of the group is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase and no goodwill is recognized.
3.3 Foreign currency transactions
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the period/ year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period/ year.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, which are outstanding as at the end of the period and not covered by forward contracts, are translated at the end of the period at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Non -monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost.
3.4 Compound financial instruments
The component parts of compound financial instruments issued by Mindspace REIT are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Trust's own equity instruments is an equity instrument.
At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument's maturity date.
The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured.
Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible instruments are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortized over the lives of the convertible instrument using the effective interest method.
3.5 Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in a host contract that is an asset within the scope of Ind AS 109 are not separated. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Embedded derivatives closely related to the host contracts are not separated. Derivatives embedded in all other host contract are separated only if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host and are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
3.6 Tax expense
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax charge or credit. It is recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in equity and other comprehensive income respectively.
a) Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income for the period and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by end of reporting period.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized
amounts, and it is intended to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously."
b) Deferred tax
Deferred tax asset/ liability is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Standalone Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which Mindspace REIT expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
3.7 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized when Mindspace REIT has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Trust will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration
net of recoveries if any, required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but will probably not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation of a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted.
A contingent asset is disclosed when there would be 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 Mindspace REIT.
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
3.8 Investment in SPVs
The Company has elected to recognize its investments in SPVs at cost in accordance with the option available in Ind AS 27, 'Separate Financial Statements’. The details of such investments are given in Note 4.
Assets representing investments in SPVs are reviewed for impairment.whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained decline in revenues or earnings and material adverse changes in the economic environment.
3.9 Financial instruments
1 Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognized when Mindspace REIT becomes party to a contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from as the case may be, the fair value of such assets or liabilities, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
2 Financial assets:
a) Classification of financial assets:
(i) Mindspace REIT classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through the Statement of Profit and Loss), and
• those measured at amortized cost.
(ii) The classification is done depending upon Mindspace REIT business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
(iii) For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held.
(iv) Mindspace REIT reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
b) Subsequent Measurement
(i) Investment in Debt instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on Mindspace REIT business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Trust classifies its debt instruments:
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows 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.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows that give rise on specified dates to solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and by selling financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through the Statement of Profit and Loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through the Statement of Profit and Loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c) Impairment of financial assets:
The Mindspace REIT applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost, lease receivables, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset. For trade receivables, the Mindspace Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Mindspace Group has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.
d) Derecognition of financial assets:
A financial asset is primarily derecognized when:
(i) the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or
(ii) Mindspace REIT has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset; and
Mindspace REIT has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
Mindspace REIT has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety (other than investments in equity instruments at FVOCI), the differences between the carrying amounts measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by Mindspace REIT is recognized as a separate asset or liability.
3.10Financial liabilities and equity instruments (a) Classification as debt or equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by Mindspace REIT are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Financial Liabilities
Recognition, measurement and classification
Financial liabilities are classified as either held at a) fair value through the Statement of Profit and Loss, or b) at amortized cost. Management determines the classification of its financial liabilities at the time of initial recognition or, where applicable, at the time of reclassification.
Mindspace REIT financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings and derivative financial instruments. Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as fair value through the Statement of Profit and Loss or at amortized cost. All changes in fair value of financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. Amortized cost category is applicable to loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. After initial recognition the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate method.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. Gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on net basis in the Balance Sheet when there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
3.11 Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contract are measured initially at the fair value and in accordance with Ind AS 109 unless on a case to case basis Mindspace REIT elects to account for financial guarantee as Insurance Contracts as specified under Ind AS 104.
3.12 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. This inter alia involves discounting of the consideration due to the present value if payment extends beyond normal credit terms.
Revenue is recognized when recovery of the consideration is probable and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Recognition of dividend income, interest income
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which Mindspace REIT's right to receive payment is established.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
In calculating interest income, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired). 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 amortized cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired , then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
3.13 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial instrument to the amortized cost of the financial liability. In calculating interest expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the amortized cost of the liability.
3.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises of cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits, other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
3.15 Cash distribution to unit holders
Mindspace REIT recognizes a liability to make cash distributions to Unitholders when the distribution is authorized and a legal obligation has been created. As per the REIT Regulations, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the Board of Directors of the Manager. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.
3.16 Standalone Statement of Cash flows
Cash flow is reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a 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 Mindspace REIT are segregated.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flow, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Mindspace REIT's cash management.
3.17 Subsequent events
The Standalone Financial Statements are adjusted to reflect events that occur after the reporting date but before the Financial Statements are issued. The Financial Statements have their own date of authorization. Therefore, when preparing the Financial Statements, management considers events up to the date of authorization of these financial statements.
3.18 Earnings per unit
The basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing the net profit/ (loss) attributable to the unit holders of the REIT by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the reporting period. The number of units used in computing diluted earnings/ (loss) per unit comprises the weighted average units considered for deriving basic earnings/ (loss) per unit and also the weighted average number of units which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential units.
Dilutive potential units are deemed converted as of the beginning of the reporting date, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per unit, only potential equity units that are dilutive and which either reduces earnings per share or increase loss per units are included.
3.19 Earnings before finance costs and tax
Mindspace REIT has elected to present earnings before finance cost and tax as a separate line item on the face of the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. Mindspace REIT measures earnings before finance cost and tax on the basis of profit/ (loss) from continuing operations. In its measurement, Mindspace REIT does not include finance costs and tax expense.
3.20 Errors and estimates
Mindspace REIT revises its accounting policies if the change is required due to a change in Ind AS or if the change will provide more relevant and reliable information to the users of the Financial Statement. Changes in accounting policies are applied retrospectively.
A change in an accounting estimate that results in changes in the carrying amounts of recognized assets or liabilities or to profit or loss is applied prospectively in the period(s) of change.
Discovery of errors results in revisions retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts of assets, liabilities and equity of the earliest prior period in which the error is discovered. The opening balances of the earliest period presented are also restated.
3.21 Distributions
The Net Distributable Cash Flows of Mindspace REIT are based on the cash flows generated from Mindspace REIT's assets and investments.
In terms of the Distribution Policy and the REIT Regulations, not less than 90% of the NDCF of each of the Asset SPVs is required to be distributed to Mindspace REIT, in proportion of their shareholding in the Asset SPV, subject to applicable provisions of the Companies Act. Presently, NDCF to be received by Mindspace REIT from the Asset SPVs may be in the form of dividends, interest income, principal loan repayment, proceeds of any capital reduction or buyback from the Asset SPVs, sale proceeds out of disposal of investments if any or assets directly held by Mindspace REIT or as specifically permitted under the Trust Deed or in such other form as may be permissible under the applicable law.
The Manager is required to and shall declare and distribute at least 90% of the NDCF of Mindspace REIT as distributions (“REIT Distributions") to the Unitholders. Such REIT Distributions shall be declared and made for every quarter of a Financial Year.
3.22 Amended standards
(a) The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Companies
(Indian Accounting Standard) Amendment Rules 2023 dated March 31, 2023 to amend the following Ind AS which are effective from April 01, 2023:
Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. This amendment does not have any significant impact in the financial statements.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The
definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. This amendment does not have any significant impact in the financial statements.
There were certain amendments to standards and interpretations which are applicable for the first time for the year ended March 31, 2024, but either the same are not relevant or do not have an impact on the standalone financial statements.
