1.3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements unless otherwise stated.
i Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost, net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebates less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.
Such cost include purchase price, borrowing cost and any cost directly attributable to bringing assets to its location and working condition or its intended use.
Depreciation
Depreciation on Tangible Assets, PPE is charged on WDV method as per the useful life prescribed in the Companies Act, 2013 and in the manner specified therein. 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 any.Depreciation on fixed assets added/ disposed off/ discarded during the year is provided on a pro-rata basis with reference to the month of addition/ disposal/discarding.
Useful Life
Useful lives of property plant and equipment are based on the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
ii 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.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery
of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into following categories:
a) Financial Assets at amortized cost
b) Financial Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
c) Financial Assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
d) Impairment of financial assets
a) Financial Assets at amortised cost
A Financial Asset is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
- Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. 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 other income in the statement of profit and loss.
b) Financial Assets at FVTOCI
A Financial Asset is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
- The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
- The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Financial Assets included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). On derecognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
c) Financial Assets at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for Financial Assets. Any asset, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
Impairment of trade receivables
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the trade receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. Trade receivables are tested for impairment on a specific basis after considering the outstanding amount, security deposit collected, age bracket etc. and expectations about future cash flows.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without
material delay to a third party under a 'passthrough' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
- When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, at transaction cost net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
The financial liabilities is measured at Amortised Cost.
Discounting of long-term financial assets / liabilities
All financial assets / liabilities are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. In case of financial liabilities / assets which are required to subsequently be measured at amortised cost, interest is accrued using the effective interest method.
iii Inventories
Inventories consist of goods and to be measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net Realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs necessary to make sale.
iv Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non¬ financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, an impairment test is performed each year at March 31. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (as defined below) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. 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 assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the cash¬ generating unit.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets 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 groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit").
An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss if the estimated recoverable amount of an asset or its cash¬ generating unit is lower than its carrying amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
v Cash & Cash Equivalents
Cash and bank balances comprise of cash balance in hand, in current accounts with banks,. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of our cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
vi Leases
At the inception it is assessed, whether a contract is a lease or contains a lease. A contract is a lease or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, for a period of time, in exchange for consideration. If lease asset held land & building are perpetual in nature, than it will be treated as Land & Building.
To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset. Use may be specified explicitly or implicitly.
- Use should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset.
- If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified.
- Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use
- Company has the right to direct the use of the asset
- In cases where the usage of the asset is predetermined, the right to direct the use of the asset is determined when Company has the right to use the asset or Company designed the asset in a way
that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
At the commencement or modification of a contract, that contains a lease component, Company allocates the consideration in the contract, to each lease component, on the basis of its relative standalone prices. For leases of property, it is elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
Company as a Lessee:
Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.
Right-Of-Use Asset (ROU):
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost. Cost comprises of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located less any lease incentives received.
After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset applying cost model, which is Cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses and also adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability
Right-of-use asset is depreciated using straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. If the lease transfers the ownership of the underlying asset to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost of the right- of-use asset reflects Company will exercise the purchase option, ROU will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined based on the same basis as property, plant and equipment.
Lease liability:
Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments that are
not paid at the commencement date. Discounting is done using the implicit interest rate in the lease, if that rate cannot be readily determined, then using Company's incremental borrowing rate. Incremental borrowing rate is determined based on entity's borrowing rate adjusted for terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprises of fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments), variable lease payments that depends on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date, amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
Lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Lease liability is re- measured when there is a change in the lease term, a change in its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or a revised in-substance fixed lease payment, a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and a change in future lease payments arising from change in an index or rate.
When the lease liability is re-measured, corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of use asset. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero it will be recorded in statement of profit and loss.
Right-of-use asset is presented under "Property Plant and Equipment" and lease liabilities are presented under "Financial liabilities" in the balance sheet.
Company has elected not to recognise right- of-use assets and lease liabilities for short¬ term leases. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
vii Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent 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 Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
However, Goods and Service Tax (GST) is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
Sale of products
Revenue from the sale of products is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the products. Revenue from the sale of products is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Sale of Service
Revenue from services rendered is recognised as and when services are rendered and related costs are incurred in accordance with the agreement.
Interest Income
For all financial assets measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial
instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.
viii Employee Benefit Expenses
Short Term Employee Benefits
All employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the service are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Post- Employment Benefits
Defined Contribution Plan
Contribution to Defined Contribution Plans such as Provident Fund, Employees' State Insurance Corporation, etc., are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Defined Benefit Plan
The present value of the obligation under such plans is determined based on an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary at the end of each year, using the Projected Unit Credit Method. In the case of gratuity, which is funded, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis.
Re-measurement
Remeasurement of net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.
ix Foreign Exchange Transactions
Company has not made any forign transaction during the year.
x Finance Cost
"Borrowing Costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A Qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period for which they are incurred.
xi Taxes on Income
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized for the future tax consequences of deductible temporary differences between the carrying values of a ssets and liabilities a nd their respective tax bases at the reporting date, using the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted as on reporting date. Deferred tax liability are generally recorded for all temporary timing differences.
