1.10 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, legal or constructive
(i) Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(ii) A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation and the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure for contingent liability is made.
(iii) Contingent Assets are not recognised but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
1.11 Employee Benefits
(i) Short term Employee benefits are accrued in the year services are rendered by the employees.
(ii) Contribution to defined contribution plans such as Provident Fund etc. is being made in accordance with the statute and are recognized as and when incurred. Contribution to defined benefit plans consisting of contribution to gratuity are determined at close of the year at present value of the amount payable using actuarial valuation techniques. Actuarial gain and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income. Other costs recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
(iii) Other long term employee benefits consisting of Leave encashment are determined at close of the year at present value of the amount payable using actuarial valuation techniques. The changes in the amount payable including actuarial gain or loss are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
1.12 Taxes on Income
Income Tax expenses comprise current tax and deferred tax charge or credit.
(i) Current Tax
Current tax is measured on the basis of estimated taxable income for the current accounting period in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred Tax assets and liabilities is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes (i.e., tax base). Deferred tax is also recognized for carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The Company reduces the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or that entire deferred tax asset to be utilized. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the Statement of Profit and Loss is recognized either in other comprehensive income or in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
1.13 Investment Property Recognition
Investment property shall be recognised as an asset when, and only when: (a) it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the entity; and (b) the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably.
Depreciation on Investment Property is provided under the straight line method on the rates as per the useful life prescribed as per Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
Measurement at recognition
An investment property shall be measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs shall be included in the initial measurement. The cost of a purchased investment property comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Directly attributable expenditure includes, for example, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs.
Measurement after recognition
After initial recognition, an entity shall measure all of its investment properties in accordance with Ind AS 16's requirements for cost model, other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or are included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with Ind AS 105, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
Transfers
An entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use. A change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. In isolation, a change in management's intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use.
Disposals
An investment property shall be derecognised (eliminated from the balance sheet) on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and shall be recognised in profit or loss in the period of the retirement or disposal.
1.14 Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non¬ cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
1.15 Earnings per Share
Basic Earnings per share (EPS) amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders adjusted for the effects of potential equity shares by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
1.16 Critical estimates and judgements
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the Standalone Ind AS financial statements, and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management also makes certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the accounting policies. Judgements that have most significant effect on the amount recognised in the Standalone Ind AS financial statements and estimates that can cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include the following:
Estimation of fair value of unlisted investment
The fair value of financial instrument that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period and also for, details of key assumptions used and the impact of changes to these assumptions.
Current Tax
Current tax is measured on the basis of estimated taxable income for the current accounting period in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred Tax
The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is more likely than not that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future against which the reversal of temporary differences can be deducted. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest available profit forecasts. Where the temporary differences are related to losses, relevant tax law is considered to determine the availability of the losses to offset against the future taxable profits. Recognition therefore involves judgement regarding the future financial performance of the Company.
Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions and contingencies are based on Management's best estimate of the liabilities based on the facts known at the balance sheet date.
d) Terms of issue of equity shares
The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a par value of Rs 10. Each holder of equity share is entitled to one vote per share. In the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amount, in proportion to their shareholding.
e) No shares have been reserved for issue under options and contracts / commitments for the sale of shares/dfsinvestment as at the Balance Sheet date.
f) The Company has not allotted any shares as fully paid up pursuant to contract(s) without payment being received in cash or by way of fully paid bonus shares nor has bought back any shares during the period of five years immediately preceeding the date at which the Balance Sheet is prepared.
g) No convertible securities have been issued by the Company during the year.
h) No calls are unpaid by any Director and Officer of the Company during the year.
i) The Company has not forfeited any shares.
23 ACCOUNTING FOR TAXES ON INCOME
Provision for Tax is made for current and deferred taxes.
Income tax expense is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current income tax for current period is provided on the taxable income and recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Taxable Income differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. Current tax assets and liabilities are set off and presented as net.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted.
Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes.
The Company has significant amount of unused tax credits, since availability of future taxable income is not certain, no provision for deferred tax assets has been made under IND AS 12 1 Income Taxes'.
24 DETAILS OF DUES TO MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES AS PER MSMED ACT 2006
The Company has circulated confirmation for the identification of suppliers registered under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. On the basis of information available with the Company under the aforesaid Act, there are no Enterprises to whom the Company owes dues which are outstanding at year end. This has been relied upon by the Auditors.
25 VALUATION OF CURRENT ASSETS, LOANS & ADVANCES
In the opinion of the management, current assets, loans and advances have the value at which these are stated in the Balance Sheet, unless otherwise stated, and adequate provisions for all known liabilities have made and are not in excess of the amount reasonably required.
B. Financial Risk Management
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company continues to focus on a system-based approach to business risk management. The Company's financial risk management process seeks to enable the early identification, evaluation and effective management of key risks facing the business. Backed by strong internal control systems, the current Risk Management System rests on policies and procedures issued by appropriate authorities; process of regular reviews / audits to set appropriate risk limits and controls; monitoring of such risks and compliance confirmation for the same.
(i) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currently the Company does not have any foreign currency exposure.
Interest rate risk
The main business of the Company is trading in goods and shares and investment in mutual funds, shares and securitires. These activities expose us to interest rate risk.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk is related to change in market reference price of investments and stocks in equity securities held by the Company.
The fair value of quoted investments held by the Company exposes the Company to equity price risks. In general, few of these investments are not held for trading purposes. The fair value of quoted investments in equity, classified as fair value through other comprehensive income as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was Rs. Nil and Rs. 153.44 Lakhs, respectively and classified as fair value through profit & Loss as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was Rs. 0.08 Lakhs and Rs. 35.99 Lakhs, respectively.
A 10% change in equity prices of such securities held as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 would result in an impact of Rs. Nil and Rs. 18.94 Lakhs respectively on equity before considering tax impact (cumulatively).
(ii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk than an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligation associated with financial liabilities that are settled by deliverying cash or other financial assets. The Company mitigates its liquidity risks by ensuring timely collections of its receivables and close monitoring of its credit cycle.
(iii) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counter-party failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness as well as concentration risks.
Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist of rent receivables, loans receivables, investments in equity and preference share and mutual funds and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk except some loans made by the company and against which sufficient provision for expected credit loss has been provided.
The carrying value of financial assets represents the credit risk. The exposure to credit risk was Rs. 5.68 crores and Rs. 10.59 crores as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 respectively, being the total carrying value of rent receivables, loans receivables, investments in equity and preference share and mutual funds and other financial assets.
(iv) Expected Credit Loss
Ind AS 109 outlines a 'three stages' model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition as summarized below. The objective of the impairment requirements is to recognize life time expected credit loss (ECLs) on all financial instrument for which there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition - whether assessed on an individual or collective basis.
At the reporting date, an allowance (or provision for loan and advances) is required on stage 1 assets at 12 month ECLs. If the credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition (Stage 1), an allowance (or provision) should be recognised for the lifetime ECLs for financial instruments for which the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition (Stage 2) or which are credit impaired (Stage 3).
The measurement of ECL is calculated using three main components:
(i) Probability of Default (PD)
(ii) Loss Given Default (LGD) and
(iii) the Exposure At Default (EAD).
The 12 month ECL is calculated by multiplying the 12 month PD, LGD and the EAD.
The 12 month and lifetime PDs represent the PD occurring over the next 12 months and the remaining maturity of the instrument respectively.
The EAD represents the expected balance at default, taking into account the repayment of principal and interest from the balance sheet date to the default event together with any expected drawdowns of committed facilities.
The LGD represents expected losses on the EAD given the event of default, taking into account, among other attributes, the mitigating effect of collateral value at the time it is expected to be realised and the time value of money.
Probalility of default represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation either over the next 12 months (12M PD) or over the remaining lifetime (Lifetime PD) of the obligation.
Exposure at Default (EAD) is the total amount of an asset the entity is exposed to at the time of default. EAD is define based on the characteristics of the assets. EAD is dependent on the outstanding exposure of an assets sanctioned amount of loan and credit conversion factor for non-funded exposure.
Loan Given Default (LGD) it is part of an assets which is lost provided the assets default. The recovery rate is derive as a ratio of discounted value of recovery cash flow (incorporating the recovery time) to total exposure of amount at the time of default.
The Company assesses when a significant increase in credit risk has occurred based on quantitative and qualitative assessments. Exposures are considered to have resulted in a significant increase in credit risk and are moved to Stage 2 when:
i. Quantitative test: Accounts that are 30 calendar days or more past due move to Stage 2 automatically. Accounts that are 90 calendar days or more past due move to Stage 3 automatically.
ii. Qualitative test: Accounts that meet the portfolio's 'high risk' criteria and are subject to closer credit monitoring. High risk customers may not be in arrears but either through an event or an observed behaviour exhibit credit distress.
iii. Reversal in Stages: Exposures will move back to Stage 2 or Stage 1 respectively, once they no longer meet the quantitative criteria set out above. For exposures classified using the qualitative test, when they no longer meet the criteria for a significant increase in credit risk and when any cure criteria used for credit risk management are met.
The definition of default for the purpose of determining ECLs has been aligned to the RBI definition of default, which considers indicators that the debtor is unlikely to pay and is no later than when the exposure is more than 90 days past due.
