1. Reporting entity information
NATCO Pharma Limited (âthe Companyâ) is a public limited company domiciled in India with its registered office situated at NATCO House, Road No. 2, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad - 500034. The Company has been incorporated under the provisions of Companies Act, 1956 and its equity shares are listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE Limited (BSE) in India.
The Company is engaged in the business of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals which comprises research and development, manufacturing and selling of bulk drugs, finished dosage formulations. The Company has manufacturing facilities in India which caters to both domestic and international markets including regulated markets like United States of America and Europe.
These standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (âInd ASâ) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015, as amended, notified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the ''Act'') and other relevant provisions of the Act under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis and going concern except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, notified under the Act and Rules prescribed thereunder.
The standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 were authorised and approved for issue by the Companyâs Board of Directors on 28 May 2025.
Details of Companyâs accounting policies are included in Note 3.
These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (âINRâ or â?â) which is also the Companyâs functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest million, unless otherwise indicated. Transactions and balances with values below the rounding off norm adopted by the Company have been reflected as â0â in relevant notes in the standalone financial statements.
The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months that is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
These standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items which are measured on an alternative basis on each reporting date:
|
Items |
Measurement basis |
|
Certain financial assets and liabilities |
Fair value |
|
Net defined benefit |
Fair value of plan assets less |
|
asset/ (liability) |
present value of defined benefit |
|
Leases |
Obligations (Refer Note 20) |
|
Lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lesseeâs incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Right-to-use asset has been measured as an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the balance sheet immediately before the date of initial application. Practical expedient on transition to exclude initial direct costs from ROU asset measurement is considered. (Refer Note 41) |
|
In preparing these standalone financial statements, Management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from the estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Refer Note 4 for the estimates and judgments made in preparation of these standalone financial statements.
A number of the Companyâs accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The finance team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of the Accounting Standards, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.
Fair values are categorised 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.
- 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).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. 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 categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Based on the time involved between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation of cash and cash equivalents, the Company has identified twelve months as it operating cycle for determining current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.
3. Material accounting policies
a. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognised as an asset if, and only if 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.
Items of property, plant and equipment (including capital-work-in progress) are measured at cost (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is carried at historical cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price, duties, taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
The cost of property, plant and equipment at 1 April 2016, the Companyâs date of transition to Ind AS was determined with reference to its carrying value recognized as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of transition to Ind AS
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value using straight line method over the useful lives of assets estimated by the Company. Depreciation rates followed by the Company coincides with rates prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation
amount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the period is proportionately charged i.e. from/(upto) the date on which asset is ready for use/(disposed off).
The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
|
Assets |
Managementâs Estimated useful life (in years) |
Useful life as per Schedule II (in years) |
|
Buildings |
5 to 60 |
5 to 60 |

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the Statement of profit and loss, when the asset is derecognised.
Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under development as at the balance sheet date.
Other Intangible assets (software) acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at their cost. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and costs directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Following initial recognition, other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight line method over their useful lives and is generally recognized in depreciation and amortisation in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The cost of capitalised software is amortised over a period of 6 years and the Abbreviated New Drug Application (âANDAâ) acquired are amortised over a period of 10 years, on a straight-line basis. Amortisation on the addition/ disposals is charged on pro-rata basis from/(until) the date of such addition/(disposal).
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
The cost of intangible assets at 1 April 2016, the Companyâs date of transition to Ind AS was determined with reference to its carrying value recognized as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of transition to Ind AS
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates and the cost can be measured reliably. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at its functional currency spot rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities which are carried at historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates at the date of transaction. Foreign currency exchange differences are generally recognised in profit or loss, except foreign currency exchange differences arising from the translation of the following items which are recognised in OCI -
- an investment in equity securities designated as at FVOCI (except on impairment, in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss).
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of finished dosage formulations, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agricultural chemicals, including niche and technically complex molecules.
The Company generates revenue from its ordinary activities i.e. from sale of goods and services. A contract in this context shall fulfill all of the following conditions:
- Both the parties to the contract agree on the contract terms
- Performance obligation of each of the parties is identifiable and there exists a commitment to perform their respective obligations; and
- The commercial substance or the purchase consideration is measurable and the collectability is probable.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by the nature of sale i.e. manufactured and traded goods of pharmaceutical or agro chemical products and sale of service and geography. The Company believes that this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of Companyâs revenues and cashflows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors.
The Company classifies the right to consideration in exchange for sales of goods as trade receivables, advance consideration as contract liability against payment and unredeemable customer loyalty points as contract liability against performance obligation.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when a promise in a customer contract (performance obligation) has been satisfied by transferring control over the promised goods to the customer. Control is usually transferred upon shipment, delivery to, upon receipt of goods by the customer, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. The amount of revenue to be recognised is based on the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods, excluding trade discounts, volume discounts, sales returns, where applicable and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales such as goods and services tax, etc., where applicable.
The Company from time to time enters into marketing arrangements with certain business partners for the sale of its products in certain markets. Under such arrangements, the Company sells its products to the business partners at a non-refundable base purchase price agreed upon in the arrangement and is also entitled to a profit share which is over and above the base purchase price. The profit share is typically dependent on the business partnerâs ultimate net sale proceeds or net profits, subject to any reductions or adjustments that are required by the terms of the arrangement. Such arrangements typically require the business partner to provide confirmation of units sold and net sales or net profit computations for the products covered under the arrangement.
Revenue in an amount equal to the base purchase price is recognised in these transactions upon delivery of products to the business partners. The variable consideration i.e. additional amount representing the profit share component is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated transaction price (including updating its assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained) to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period.
Revenue from sale of dossiers/ licenses/services, includes in certain instances, certain performance obligations and based on evaluation of whether or not these obligations are in consequential or perfunctory, revenue is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contracts with the
customers when the related performance obligation is completed at point in time or spread over a period of time, as applicable. These arrangements typically consist of an initial upfront payment on inception of the agreement and subsequent payments dependent on achieving certain milestones in accordance with the terms prescribed in the agreement. Milestone payments which are contingent on achieving certain milestones are recognised as revenues either on achievement of such milestones or over the performance period depending on the terms of the contract.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, it does not require to adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
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 the acquisition or construction of those property, plant and equipment which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to revenue, it is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate. When the grant relates to an asset, it is presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the related asset.
Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and no significant uncertainty exist regarding its ultimate collection.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use assets is measured at cost which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and 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.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and
makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease-by-lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole.
The lease payments include
- fixed payments, including in substance fixed payment;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantees,
- exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of use asset and Statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Statement of profit and loss.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Companyâs estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised insubstance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero
The Company presents right-of-use assets in âproperty, plant and equipmentâ and lease liabilities in âFinancial liabilitiesâ in the Balance sheet.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on straight-line basis over the lease term as part of âother incomeâ.
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assetâs recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash generating unit.
An impairment loss is reversed in the Statement of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At the time of initial recognition, these financial assets (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liabilities are measured at fair value. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:
- amortised cost;
- FVOCI - debt investment;
- FVOCI - equity investment; or
- FVTPL.
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (âFVOCIâ) or fair value through profit or loss (âFVTPLâ) on the basis of following:
⢠the entityâs business model for managing the financial assets and
⢠the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
Amortised Cost:
A financial asset shall be classified and measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met and is not designated as FVTPL:
⢠the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial 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.
Fair Value through OCI:
A financial asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met and is not designated as FVTPL:
⢠the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both
collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; 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.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investmentâs fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
Fair Value through Profit or Loss:
A financial asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification of investments:
a. Debt instruments at amortised cost - A âdebt instrumentâ 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 amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
b. Equity investments - All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either
as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are not reclassified to profit or loss.
c. Mutual funds - All mutual funds in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income and dividend income:
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). Interest income is included in other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The âeffective interest rateâ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
- the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
- the amortised cost of the financial liability
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. 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 amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss. 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.
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which either substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and a new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Financial guarantee contracts are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified party fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of expected loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind-AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
The Company recognises loss allowances for ECLs on:
⢠financial assets measured at amortised cost;
⢠debt investments measured at FVOCI;
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit -impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes the following observable data:
- Significant financial difficulty of the borrower
- a breach of contract;
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Loss allowances for trade receivables, loans, contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to
lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forwardlooking information.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtors does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of inventories is determined on a moving weighted average basis, and includes acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location
and condition. In the case of raw materials and stock-intrade, cost comprises of cost of purchase. In the case of finished goods and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished goods. Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases when a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished products shall exceed the net realisable value. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-Item basis.
The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed regularly based on estimated usage and shelf life of products.
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatments, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
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. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised 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.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that
⢠is not a business combination and
⢠at the time of the transaction (i) affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred tax assets recognised or unrecognised are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally
enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
m. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
n. Post-employment, long-term and short-term employee benefits
Defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit under which an entity pays a specific contribution to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Companyâs contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance schemes is charged to the Statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service. The Companyâs contributions towards Provident Fund are deposited with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner under a defined contribution plan. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to these funds.
Defined benefit plan
The Company has gratuity as defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employeeâs length of service and final salary. The liability recognised in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting date net of fair value of plan assets. Management estimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independent actuaries, by adopting the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from re-measurements of the liability are included in other comprehensive income. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
The Company has subscribed to a group gratuity scheme of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Under the said policy, the eligible employees are entitled for gratuity upon their resignation, retirement or in the event of death in lumpsum after deduction of necessary taxes upto a maximum limit of ?2 million. Liabilities in respect of the Gratuity Plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes contributions to the Gratuity Fund.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Company also provides benefit of compensated absences to its employees which are in the nature of longterm benefit plan. Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due and expected to be availed more than one year after the balance sheet date is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method as on the reporting date. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recorded in the Statement of profit or loss in the year in which such gains or losses arise.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits comprise of employee costs such as salaries, bonus etc. is recognized on the basis of the amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employee. Short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
o. Share-based payments
Certain employees of the Company are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined vesting period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant using an appropriate valuation model.
The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such grants. The stock compensation expense is determined based on the Companyâs estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest using fair value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share based payment. The cost is recognised,
together with a corresponding increase in âShare options outstanding accountâ reserves in Equity, over the period in which the performance and / or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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 a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising 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 the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the consolidated financial statements.
Contingent asset is not recognised in standalone financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date
Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised 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.
A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract, which is determined based on the incremental costs of fulfilling the obligation under the contract and an allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract
Basic Earnings Per Share (âEPSâ) is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit (considered in determination of Basic EPS) after considering the effect of interest and other financing costs or income (net of attributable taxes) associated with the dilutive potential equity shares by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included. The number of shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of s

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when services are provided and it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue is not expected to occur.
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price (excluding estimates of variable consideration) that is allocated to that performance obligation.
(i) Revenue from contract with customer is recognized point in time when performance obligation is satisfied. Income from broking activities is accounted for on the trade date of transactions.
(ii) Income from sales of Shares and Securities are
recognized on the date of the relevant transactions.
(iii) Depository services income are accounted as follows: Revenue from depository services on account of annual maintenance charges have been accounted for over the period of the performance obligation.

At the time of squaring off difference between the premium paid and received on squared off transaction is treated as Profit or Loss
(vii) Interest income is accounted on accrual basis and the same is treated as Business Income.
(viii) Dividend income is recognized when the right to
receive the dividend is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(ix) Delayed payment charges (Interest on late payments) are accounted at a point in time of default.
(x) In respect of other heads of Income it is accounted to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made.
24.4 Property, Plant and Equipment
(i) Recognition and Measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at their carrying value being the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or
recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow with the company. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on written down value method, computed on the basis of useful lives as estimated by management which coincides with rates prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
(iii) De-recognition:
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.
Intangible assets (software) are stated in the balance sheet at their carrying value being the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Amortization of intangible assets is provided on Written down value method computed on the basis of useful life estimated at 5 years with zero residual value. Any expenses on such software for support and maintenance payable annually are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
(i) Date of Recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the company''s balance sheet when the company became a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(ii) Initial Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities, with the exception of loans, debt securities, deposits and borrowings are initially recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Recognized financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities 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 recognised immediately in profit or loss Account.
24.7 Classification and Subsequent Measurement
A) Financial Assets
⢠Debt Instruments at Amortized Cost : - A ''debt instrument'' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
(i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
(ii) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
⢠Equity Instruments
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
⢠Mutual funds
All mutual funds in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
(B) Financial Liability
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. The carrying amounts are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently determined based on the EIR method. Interest expense is recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on de-recognition of financial liabilities is also recognised in profit or loss. The Company does not have any financial liability which is measured at FVTPL.
24.8 Reclassification
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, apart from the exceptional circumstances in which the Company acquires, disposes of, or terminates a business line or in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
24.9 De Recognition A) Financial Assets
A financial asset is de-recognized when:
⢠The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or
⢠The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
On De- recognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in OCI is recognised in profit or loss.
(B) Financial Liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
24.10 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognized, if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except in case of revalued assets.
24.11 Retirement and Other Employee Benefits
(i) Provident Fund
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund.

The same is payable at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefit vest after five years of continuous service
The Company''s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior period.
Such benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets, if any, is deducted.
The present value of the obligation under such benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation.
(iii) Compensated Absences
Compensated absences benefits are expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by the employees during the year. These benefits are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service.
The cost of such compensated absences is accounted as under :
(a) In case of accumulated compensated absences, when employees render the services that increase their entitlement of future compensated absences; and
(b) In case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur.
24.12 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to effect current management estimates. Contingent liabilities are recognized when there is possible obligation arising from past events.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.
(i) Current Tax
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid in respect of taxable income for the year in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided 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 tax assets arising mainly on account of carry forward losses.
Deferred tax assets on account of other temporary differences are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Changes in deferred tax assets / liabilities on account of changes in enacted tax rates are given effect to in the statement of profit and loss in the period of the change. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are off set when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
(iii) Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
During the Financial Year, Company has opted for New Scheme u/s 115BAA and accordingly
MAT is not applicable from F.Y 2022-23 and onwards
24.15 Earning Per Share (Basic and Diluted)
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post-tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post-tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying asset are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
24.17 Goods and Services Tax paid on Acquisition of Assets or on incurring Expenses
Expenses and assets are recognized net of GST paid except when the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable/eligible for ITC from the Tax authority, in which case the tax paid is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expenses item as applicable.
The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organization and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management as defined in Ind AS 108 in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities".
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on Settlement of revenue transactions are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

the useful life of the principal item of the relevant assets.
Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed assets is capitalised only if
such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from
such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Fixed assets acquired in full or part exchange for another asset are

intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent
expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is
recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such
expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits
in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such
expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in
which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.

paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised
during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits
include performance incentive and compensated absences which are
expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in
which the employee renders the related service. The cost of such
compensated absences is accounted as under :(a) in case of accumulated

their entitlement of future compensated absences; and(b) in case of
non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur.
1.13 Segment reporting

separate financial information is available and for which operating
profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management
in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with
the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment
expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified
to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating
activities of the segment. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities
which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to
segments on reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated
revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities".
1.14. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or
income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the
weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic
earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares
which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares.
Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their
conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share
from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares
are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless
they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity
shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been
actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the
outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined
independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares
and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits /
reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.
1.15 Taxes on income
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961.Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) is paid in accordance with the
tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of
adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if
there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income
tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet
when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it
will flow to the Company.Deferred tax is recognised on timing
differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the
accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of
reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured
using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted
as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for
all timing differences. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed
depreciation and carry forward of losses are recognised only if there
is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable
income available to realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are
recognised for timing differences of other items only to the extent
that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which these can be realised. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on
income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a
legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their realisability. Current
and deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in equity are
recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in
equity and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.16 Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance
Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
1.17 Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes.
1.18 Derivative contracts
The Company enters into derivative contracts in the nature of foreign
currency swaps, currency options, forward contracts. Futures derivative
contracts are marked-to-market and Profit & Losses are recognised in

when there is no uncertainty in availing / utilising the credits.
1.24 Employee benefit plans
Defined contribution plans
The Company makes Provident Fund contribution for qualifying employees.
Under the Schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified
percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company

cost convention . The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the
previous year .
1.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements are in conformity with
Indian GAAP which requires the Management to make estimates and
assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income
and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the
estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent
and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and
the differences between the actual results and the estimates are
recognised in the periods in which the results are known /
materialise..
1.3 Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)

equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are
subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.4 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of 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 the Company are
segregated based on the available information.
1.5 Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation has been provided on the written down method as per the
rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 .
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life as
follows:
Intangibles  3  5 years (1-2 years remaining as at the Balance Sheet
date)
Amortisation of Product marketing rights over 15 years is based on the
term of the marketing right acquired and the economic benefits that are
expected to accrue to the Company over such period.
The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortisation
period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the
amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern.
1.6 Revenue recognition

Fixed assets, and are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes interest
on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up
to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other
incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Machinery spares which
can be used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose
use is expected to be irregular are capitalised and depreciated over
the useful life of the principal item of the relevant assets.
Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed assets is capitalised only if
such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from
such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Fixed assets acquired in full or part exchange for another asset are
recorded at the fair market value or the net book value of the asset
given up, adjusted for any balancing cash consideration. Fair market
value is determined either for the assets acquired or asset given up,
whichever is more clearly evident. Fixed assets acquired in exchange
for securities of the Company are recorded at the fair market value of
the assets or the fair market value of the securities issued, whichever
is more clearly evident.
The Company has not revalued its assets.
Fixed assets retired from active use and held for sale are stated at
the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are
disclosed separately in the Balance Sheet.
1.9 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises
its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and
any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent
expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is
recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such
expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits
in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such
expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in
which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.
1.10 Foreign currency transactions and translations
Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely
approximate the rate at the date of the transaction. Treatment of
exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on settlement / restatement of short-term
foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its
integral foreign operations are recognised as income or expense in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. The exchange differences on restatement /
settlement of loans to non-integral foreign operations that are
considered as net investment in such operations are accumulated in a
ÂForeign currency translation reserve until disposal / recovery of the
net investment.The exchange differences arising on restatement /
settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items are capitalised
as part of the depreciable fixed assets to which the monetary item
relates and depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets
or amortised on settlement / over the maturity period of such items if
such items do not relate to acquisition of depreciable fixed assets.
The unamortised balance is carried in the Balance Sheet as ÂForeign
currency monetary item translation difference account net of the tax
effect thereon. Accounting of forward contracts
Premium / discount on forward exchange contracts, which are not
intended for trading or speculation purposes, are amortised over the
period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as
at the Balance Sheet date.
1.11 Investments
Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried
individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than
temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are
carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost of

expense as they fall due based on the amount of contribution required
to be made. Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund and
post-employment medical benefits, the cost of providing benefits is
determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial
valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial
gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in
the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised
immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and
otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period
until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation
recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the
defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service
cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset
resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus
the present value of available refunds and reductions in future
contributions to the schemes. Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised
during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits
include performance incentive and compensated absences which are
expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in
which the employee renders the related service. The cost of such
compensated absences is accounted as under :(a) in case of accumulated
compensated absences, when employees render the services that increase
their entitlement of future compensated absences; and(b) in case of
non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur.
Long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve
months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the
related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of
the defined benefit obligation as at the Balance Sheet date less the
fair value of the plan assets out of which the obligations are expected
to be settled. Long Service Awards are recognised as a liability at
the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the Balance
Sheet date.

future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is
convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax.
Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it
is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow
to the Company.Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being
the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income
that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more
subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and
the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences.
Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry
forward of losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty
that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to
realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing
differences of other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty
exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which these can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same
governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for
such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet
date for their realisability. Current and deferred tax relating to
items directly recognised in equity are recognised in equity and not in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in
equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.
1.16. Research and development expenses
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Statement
of Profit and Loss. Development costs of products are also charged to
the Statement of Profit and Loss unless a product's technological
feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is
capitalised. The amount capitalised comprises expenditure that can be
directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis
to creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use.
Fixed assets utilised for research and development are capitalised and
depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Tangible Fixed
Assets and Intangible Assets.
1.17. Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance
Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment
exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets
exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that
an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting
periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
1.18. Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes.
1.19. Derivative contracts
The Company enters into derivative contracts in the nature of foreign
currency swaps, currency options, forward contracts with an intention
to hedge its existing assets and liabilities, firm commitments and
highly probable transactions. Derivative contracts which are closely
linked to the existing assets and liabilities are accounted as per the
policy stated for Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations.
Derivative contracts designated as a hedging instrument for highly
probable forecast transactions are accounted as per the policy stated
for Hedge Accounting. All other derivative contracts are
marked-to-market and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit
and Loss. Gains arising on the same are not recognised, until
realised, on grounds of prudence.
1.20. Insurance claims
Insurance claims are accounted to the extent that there is no
uncertainty in receiving the claims.
1.21. Service tax input credit
Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in
which the underlying services are received and are accounted and when
there is no uncertainty in availing / utilising the credits.
