The Company classifies its financial assets at amortised cost only if the following criteria are met:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and
- the contractual terms give rise to cashflows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Financial assets classified at amortised cost comprise of trade receivables and other financial assets.
ii. Classification of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss:
The Company classifies investments in mutual funds at fair value through profit and loss.

6(b) Trade receivables
Accounting policies
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services rendered in the ordinary course of business and reflects company’s unconditional right to consideration (that is, payment is due only on the passage of time). Trade receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price as they do not contain significant financing components. The company holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
The Company classifies the right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or as unbilled revenue. A receivable is a right to consideration that is conditional only upon passage of time. Revenue in excess of billings is recorded as unbilled revenue and is classified as a financial asset as only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
For trade receivables, the company applies the simplified approach required by Ind AS 109, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of receivables.
1. The deferred tax balance above has been arrived at by applying the tax rate of 25.168% being the rate substantively enacted as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023.
2. During the previous year, the Company had recognised deferred tax assets on carried forward tax losses based on an assessment performed by the management. The management has reassessed the recoverability of such deferred tax assets as at 31 March 2024 and concluded that the deferred tax assets on such losses will be fully recoverable. The carry forward business losses have an expiry period ranging from 1-5 years as at the reporting date as per the local tax regulations. The key assumption used in such business plans and budgets pertains to revenue growth rate. A decrease in the revenue growth rate by around 20% is not likely to impact the carrying value of the deferred tax asset on tax losses.
iii) Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to shares:
Equity shares:
The Company has one class of equity shares having par value of INR 1.00 per share. Each holder of equity share is entitled for one vote per share held.
In the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts, in proportion to their shareholding.
Each equity shareholder is entitled to dividend as and when the proposed by the Board of Directors, subject to approval of shareholders (except in the case of interim dividend) at the ensuing annual general meeting.
vi) Shares reserved for issue under options and contracts:
Refer Note 25 for details of shares to be issued under the employee stock option plan.
vii) Aggregate number of bonus shares issued, shares bought back and share issued for consideration other than cash during the year of five years immediately preceding the reporting date i.e. 31 March 2024:
(a) The Company has issued 98,417,540 equity shares as bonus shares during the year ended 31 March 2022.
(b) The Company has not issued any shares pursuant to contract(s) without payment being received in cash and has not bought back shares during the period of five years immediately preceding the reporting date.
viii) Consequent to the approval of the shareholders of the Company in their meeting held on 29 June 2022, the Company has reclassified its authorised preference share capital of 10,50,000 shares of Rs. 10 each to its authorised equity share capital resulting in an increase by 10,500,000 shares of Re.1 each.
Nature and purpose of reserves:
Securities premium account
Securities premium is used to record the premium received on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Employee stock option reserve
The reserve is used to recognise the grant date fair value (net of exercise price) issued to employees under Tracxn Employee Stock Option Plan 2016. Refer note 25 for more details.
Share application money
This represents the total amount received by the company towards exercise of stock options pending allotment.
i) Compensated absences
The leave obligations cover the Company's liability for paid leaves. The entire amount of the provision is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to avail the full amount of accrued leave or require payment for such leave within the next 12 months.
ii) Post-employment obligations
a) Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Act, 2018. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on termination/retirement is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service.
Liability is actuarially valued and recognised in the books at each reporting date by the Company. The gratuity plan of the Company is not funded.
Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Company is exposed to a number of risks. The most
significant risks are:
(i) I nterest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on 5 year (2023: 5 year) government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
(ii) Salary inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
(iii) Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to factors like mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and attrition rate.
The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in balance sheet.
b) Defined contribution schemes
Contributions are made to recognized government provident funds and Employee State Insurance Scheme in India for employees at a specified percentage of wages as per the regulations. The contributions payable to these plans by the Company are administered by the Government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The Company recognised INR 180.45 (2023: INR 197.54) for Provident fund contributions and INR 6.75 (2023: INR 16.32) for Employee State Insurance Scheme contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
i) Revenue recognised in relation to contract liabilities
The following table shows how much of the revenue recognised in the current reporting period relates to carried-forward contract liabilities and how much relates to performance obligations that were satisfied in a prior year:
d) As at 31 March 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations is INR 3,177.09 (2023: INR 2,942.33). Out of this, the Company expects to recognize revenue of INR 3,136.49 (2023: INR 2,916.35) within the next one year and the remaining in the year after that.
15 Revenue from operationsAccounting policies
(i) Sale of services
The Company receives subscription revenue from rendering of services through its platform. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when services are rendered to the customer at an amount, net of goods and services tax, that reflects the consideration entitled in exchange for those services and when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from rendering the service. The Company recognizes subscription revenues over time wherein the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company. The progress is measured using the output method which measures revenue by comparing ‘time elapsed’ to the ‘total subscription period.
The invoicing for the services is done upfront irrespective of the duration of the subscription with a general credit term of 10-30 days, which is consistent with market practice. The Company does not adjust the transaction prices for any time value of money as the transfer of the promised services to the customer and payment by the customer does not generally exceed one year.
(ii) Refund liabilities
The Company recognises a refund liability for the revenue recognized but likely to be cancelled in the subsequent period. The company estimates the expected cancellations based on acknowledgements from customers or platform usage data.
(iii) Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract. Refer Note 13.
19 Other expensesAcccounting policies
Lease payments - Payments associated with short-term leases are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Short-term leases are leases with a term of 12 months or less. The lease contracts also include non -lease components which are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
B. Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into 3 levels/hierarchy prescribed under the accounting standard.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There are no transfers between the levels during the year.
C. Valuation process and techniques:
The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. The fair value of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (‘NAV’) as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at each reported balance sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.
D. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost:
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets and other financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values due to their short-term nature.
For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amount are equal to the fair values.
A. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counter party resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers located in various countries. Credit risk is managed by the Company through continuously monitoring of the outstanding receivables.
The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumption and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculations, based on the Company’s past history and existing market conditions as well as forward- looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and investment in mutual funds. As a policy, the Company places its cash and cash equivalents and deposits with well established banks and financial institutions. Management has evaluated and determined expected credit loss for cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, security deposits and other financial assets to be insignificant.
B. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with its financial liabilities on a timely basis through:
a) Primary source - cash and cash equivalents i.e. cash generated from operations,
b) Secondary source - mutual fund investments and bank deposits (liquid investments realisable in short term).
A material and sustained shortfall in cash flows generated from operation could expose the company to liquidity risk. The company manages the liquidity risk by monitoring rolling cash flow forecasts and maturity profiles of its financial assets and liabilities."
(i) Maturities of financial liabilities
The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
C. Market risk
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company's functional currency (INR). The company is exposed to foreign exchange currency risk arising from foreign currency transactions primarily with respect to United States Dollar (USD) which are not hedged. The risk is measured through sensitivity analysis of probable movement in exchange rate as at the reporting period.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financial instruments and the impact is shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.
(ii) Market price risk
a) Exposure
The Company’s exposure to price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the Balance Sheet at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in debt mutual funds, the Company diversifies its portfolio.
b) Sensitivity
The table below summarizes the impact of increase/decrease of the index on the company’s equity and profit for the year. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NAV increases by 5% or decreases by 5% with all other variables held constant.
24 Capital management
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to:
(i) Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
(ii) Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital.
The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and future business prospects as and when required.
The Company does not have access to any borrowings and undrawn facilities. However, the Company has sufficient cash and investments to meet the liquidity requirements.
25 Employee stock option expense
Tracxn Employee Stock Option Plan 2016 ("ESOP 2016" or "the Plan"): The Board vide its resolution dated 3 October 2016 approved ESOP 2016 for granting employee stock options in the form of equity shares linked to the completion of a minimum period of continued employment to the eligible employees of the Company. The eligible employees for the purpose of ESOP 2016 will be determined by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the extraordinary general meeting held on 5th October 2016, the Board of Directors have been authorized to introduce, offer, issue and allot options to eligible employees of the Company under the ESOP 2016. The maximum number of shares under this plan shall not exceed 1,21,52,582 shares. These options shall vest not less than one year and not more than 4 years from the date of grant of such options.
The weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding at the end of the period is 4.6 years (2023: 6.63 years)
The weighted average fair value of options granted as at grant date during the year ended 31 March 2024 was INR 77.80 per option (2023: INR 68.32). The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the Black-Scholes Model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. The model inputs for options granted included:
26 Segment reportinga) Description of segments and principal activities

a) The Company had issued equity shares in the financial year 2013-14 to certain individuals at a premium for which the Assessing officer had added income in the hands of the Company amounting to INR 89.03 under Section 56(2)(vii b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. During the year ended 31 March 2020, the Company has filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), where the ITAT vide its order dated 23 October 2020 has ruled in the favour of the Company. Pending receipt of revised assessment order from the department, the Company continues to disclose the disputed amount as contingent liability. The amounts disclosed above is including interest. Demand amount is adjusted against refund for the financial year 2017-18 vide order dated 18 September 2019.
b) It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the above pending resolution of the respective proceedings.
29 Commitments
Capital commitments
There were no capital commitments as at the end of current/previous reporting period.
Notes:
1. The Company did not have any debt outstanding as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023. Accordingly, the debt-equity ratio and the debt service coverage ratio have not been disclosed.
2. The business model of the company is services oriented hence there is no inventory. Accordingly the inventory turnover ratio is not applicable.
3. Decrease is on account of recognition of deferred tax assets on carry forward business losses and recovery of IPO expenses from selling shareholders in the previous year.
4. Decrease is due to increase in working capital i.e. on account of increase in current investments.
5. Increase is on account of the revenue growth rate being higher than the expense growth rate and increase in fair value gains on financial assets.
32 Leases
The Company has taken office premises on lease. Rental contracts are typically made for 1 to 3 years,and extendable for further periods upon mutual agreement. The notice period for such leases is 2-3 months where either party can terminate the lease without any significant penalty or loss. Extension options have not been included in the lease term as exercising this option is currently not reasonably certain. Accordingly, the Company has elected to treat such leases as short term leases and taken an exemption from recognition of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities in accordance with Ind AS 116.
34 Other accounting policies
Other than the Material Accounting Policies given, this note provides a list of other accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. The Accounting Policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
34.1 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
Refer note 26 for segment information presented.
34.2 Foreign currency translation
i) 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'). The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other gains/ (losses).
34.3 Income tax
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 adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses, if any.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company
measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, if any, only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company 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.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in Statement of Profit and 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.
34.4 Leases
Leases are recognised as a Right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the company.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any incentives receivable
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
• amounts expected to be payable by the company under residual value guarantees
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the company exercising that option.
Extension and termination options are included in many of the leases. In determining the lease term the management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the company's incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
I f a readily observable amortising loan rate is available to the Company (through recent financing or market data) which has a similar payment profile to the lease, then the Company uses that rate as the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Lease payments that represent payments based on actual utilisation of common facilities of the leased asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when they are incurred.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of initial measurement of lease liability
• any lease payments made on or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
• any initial direct costs, and
• restoration costs
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
34.5 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets (excluding trade receivables which do not contain significant financing component) and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly 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 the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, 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 profit or loss.
34.6 Investments and other financial assets
A) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
- those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flow. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
B) Recognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the financial asset.
C) Subsequent measurement
i) At amortised cost
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss.
ii) Fair Value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flow represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to the statement of profit and loss and recognised under other income/ other expenses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
iii) Fair value through profit and loss (FVPL)
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
D) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost. The credit loss is difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity 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 effective interest rate. This is assessed on an individual or collective basis after considering all reasonable and supportable information including that which is forward-looking.
The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
E) Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognized only when
- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized. Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of
the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
F) Interest income
Interest income is recognised using effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
34.7 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments (exluding investment in debt mutual funds e.g. liquid funds which are shown separately as 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.
34.8 Financial liabilities
A) Classification
Financial liability and equity instruments issued by a Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
B) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit or loss.
C) Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
34.9 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year, which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within the credit period. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
34.10 Property, plant and equipment
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised 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 derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
The assets' residual value and useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and iosses on disposals are determined by companng proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss within Other gains/ (losses).
34.11 Intangible assets
Software:
Operating software is capitalised along with the related fixed assets. Costs associated with maintaining the software are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the company are recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:
• it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use
• management intends to complete the software and use or sell it
• there is an ability to use or sell the software
• it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits
• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software are available, and
• the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured." Amortisation methods and periods:
The Company amortizes software with a finite useful life using the straight line method over three years and the useful life is reviewed at end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. The amortisation method and the estimated useful life of intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting period.
34.12 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets under development are tested for impairment on an annual basis. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that have suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
34.13 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
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. In case of long term provisions, they are disclosed by discounting at the rate used to determine the present value, which is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed 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.
34.14 Employee benefits
i) Short term obligations:
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligation in the Balance Sheet.
ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in statement of profit and loss. Past service costs are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Balance Sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
iii) Post employment obligations:
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
a) Defined benefit plans (gratuity)
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Act, 2018. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment.
The liability or asset recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at the end of the reporting period by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the Balance Sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
b) Defined contribution plan such as provident fund and employees state insurance
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds and employees state insurance funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
iv) Bonus plans
The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses. The Company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
v) Share-based payments
The fair value of options granted under the ""Tracxn Employee Stock Option Plan 2016"" is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
• including any market performance conditions (e.g., the entity’s share price)
• excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and
• including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save or hold shares for a specific period of time).
The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity."
34.15 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation
of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Ordinary shares that will be issued upon the conversion of a mandatorily convertible instrument are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share from the date these mandatorily convertible instruments are classified as equity.
34.16 Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
The transaction costs incurred with respect to the IPO of the Company is recognised as an asset to the extent considered recoverable from the selling shareholders. Remaining costs attributable to listing of existing shares is recognised in profit or loss.
