3. Significant Accounting Policies 3.1 Property, Plant and Equipment

(a) Tangible Assets

(i) Recognition and Measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which include capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any, except freehold land which is carried at historical cost. Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates plus 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 where it is located.

Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.

Any exchange difference arising on translation/ settlement of all foreign monetary items including long term foreign currency monetary items to be recognized as income or expense in profit or loss for the period in which they arise except the scope exclusion provided under Ind AS 21 based on the voluntary exemption given in Ind AS 101. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

The cost of a self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site where it is located.

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.

Useful lives have been determined in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss following the principles of Ind AS-115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

Leasehold land, acquired on thirty years lease basis, from “Adityapur Industrial Development Authority (“AIDA”) for setting up of manufacturing unit at Jamshedpur and all the related expenses & incidental to the acquisition of the leasehold land, up to the date of the commencement of the first phase of the Commercial production was capitalized.

Fixed Assets are reviewed for impairment on each Balance Sheet date.

(ii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

(iii) Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of assets.

(iv) Research and Development Cost

Research and Development Costs that are in the nature of tangible assets and are expected to generate probable future economic benefits are capitalized as tangible assets. Revenue expenditure on research and development is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which it is incurred.

(v) Depreciation/Amortization

Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method in respect of buildings, plant and equipment, furniture and fixtures, office equipment, Vehicle and other assets. Depreciation is generally recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amortization on leasehold land is provided over the period of lease.

Useful lives have been determined in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.

Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted, if appropriate. Based on technical evaluation and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimates of useful lives best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. The useful lives of the Company''s Plant and Equipment are considered on the basis of continuous process plant.

Depreciation on the additions (disposals) to the particular assets, during the year, is provided on a pro-rata basis, from the date of acquisition/ installation/on which the particular asset is put to use (disposedoff).

Depreciation on additions on account of increase or decrease in rupee value due to revalorization of foreign currency loans is being provided at rates of depreciation over the remaining useful life of the said assets.

(b) Capital work-in-progress

Projects under commissioning and other Capital work-in-progress are carried at cost comprising of direct and indirect costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest. Depreciation on assets commences when these assets are ready for their intended use and transferred from Capital work-in-progress Group to Tangible Fixed Assets Group.

[c] Intangible Assets

(i) Initial Recognition and Classification

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amount of amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life of such assets. An asset''s useful life is estimated based on an evaluation of the future economic benefits expected of such assets.

Expenditure incurred on acquisition or development of software and such other Intangible Assets are recognized as Intangible Assets, if it is expected that such assets will generate sufficient future economic benefits.

(ii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values over the estimated useful lives using the

straight line method and is included in depreciation and amortization in Statement of Profit and Loss. The estimated useful lives of computer software are considered not exceeding four years. Amortization method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted, if appropriate.

(iv) Derecognition

An item of intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of asset.

(d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets.

The Company''s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment, if any such indication exists, then the asset recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In respect of assets for which impairment loss has been recognized in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

3.2 Borrowing cost:

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset until such time the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.

3.3 Operating Cycle

Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between purchase of raw materials and their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operation cycle within 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

3.4 Current versus Non- Current Classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/non-current classification.

An asset/ liability is treated as current when it is: -

- Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed or settled in normal operating cycle

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading

- Expected to be realized/ settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities respectively.

3.5 Inventories:

Items of inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realizable value after providing for obsolescence, wherever considered necessary. The Cost of Inventories comprises of all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs including manufacturing overheads incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Cost of Raw materials and components, stores and spares and loose tools are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which these are used are expected to be sold at cost or above cost. Costs are determined on weighted average basis.

Work-in-Progress is valued at raw material cost-plus conversion cost depending upon the stage of completion. Cost includes direct materials and labour cost and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Finished Goods are valued at raw material cost-plus conversion cost & other overheads incurred in bringing the goods to their present condition & location. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Consumable Stores and packing materials are valued at cost plus expenses.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less

estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Excess / shortages, if any, arising on physical verification are absorbed in the respective consumption accounts.

3.6 Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and other bank balances.

3.7 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method whereby the profit before tax is adjusted for the effect of the transactions of a non cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past and future operating cash receipts or payments and items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

3.8 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past events, 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. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:

-a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of

resources will be required to settle the obligation.

-a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible.

Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the Financial Statements.

3.9 Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per equity share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

3.10 Foreign Currency Transactions:

Foreign currency transactions and

balances

i. Initial recognition

The Company''s financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company''s functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.

In case of advance receipts/payments in a foreign currency, the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, shall be the date when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency.

ii. Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Nonmonetary items, which are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

iii. Exchange differences

The Company accounts for exchange differences arising on translation/ settlement of foreign currency monetary items as below:

a) Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to

acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.

b) All other exchange differences are recognized as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise.

For the purpose of (a) above, the Company treats a foreign monetary item as “longterm foreign currency monetary item”, if it has a term of 12 months or more at the date of its origination.

3.11 Investments

Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.

On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.

Current investments are carried in the financial statement at lower of cost of acquisition and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.

Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value of investments is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of investment.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.

3.12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

The Company applies Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the cumulative effect method. The standard is applied retrospectively only to Contract that are not completed as at the date of initial application and the comparative information is not restated in the financial results.

As per this standard, the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further, the Company evaluates the performance

obligations being distinct to enable separate recognition and can impact timing of recognition of certain elements of multiple element arrangements.

Revenue arises from sale of goods and rendering of services.

Sale of products

Most of the Company''s revenue is derived from selling goods with revenue recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services and retains none of the significant risks and rewards of the goods in question.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of goods measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, allowances and trade discounts.

As per Ind AS 115, the Company determines whether there is a significant financing component in its contracts. However, the Company has decided to use practical expedient provided in Ind AS 115 and not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing components in the contracts, where the Company expects, at contract inception that the period of completion of contract terms are one year or less. Therefore, for short-term advances, the company does not account for a financing component. No long-term advances from customers are generally received by the Company.

The Company provides retrospective volume rebates/annual turnover discounts to its customers on products sold to the customer once the quantity of products sold during the period/year exceeds a threshold limit specified in the contract. Retrospective volume rebates give rise to variable consideration. To estimate the variable consideration, the Company considers that the most likely amount method better predicts the amount of variable consideration.

Revenue from export sales are recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on the basis of date of bill of lading.

Export incentives

Revenue from export incentives are accounted for on export of goods on accrual basis if the entitlements can be estimated with reasonable assurance and conditions precedent to claim is fulfilled.

Interest & Other income

Interest income and expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Other income is recognized on accrual basis except where the receipt of income is uncertain.

Profit / loss on sale of investment

Profit/loss on sale of investment is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in investment is transferred.

3.13 Leases:

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease transaction. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 using modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of April 01, 2019 with the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard recognised at the date of initial application. On adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases'' under the principles of Ind AS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee''s normal borrowing rate as of 1 April 2019.

Company as a lessee:

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. Finance leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in Finance Costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the

estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

The Right-of-use Assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

Right-of-use Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate using the normal borrowing rates. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset, are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income on an operating lease is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a straightline basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation, are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

3.14 Retirement and other employee benefits:

Employee benefits include provident fund, pension fund, gratuity and compensated absences.

Defined Contribution Plans Provident Fund:

The Company''s contribution to provident fund and pension fund is considered as defined contribution plan and is charged as an expense as they fall due based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees. The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay contribution in addition to its fixed contribution.

Gratuity:

The Company operates a defined benefit Gratuity Plan with approved Gratuity Fund and

contributions are made to a separately administered approved Gratuity Fund. For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity, the cost of providing benefits is determined using ‘the Projected Unit Credit method'', with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost.

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 recognized during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits include salaries, wages, 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 and other benefits like gratuity which are allowed to be carried forward over a period in excess of 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognized as a non-current liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the Balance Sheet date out of which the obligations are expected to be settled.

3.15 Taxes on Income

Income tax comprises Current and Deferred Tax. It is recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss except to the extent that it relates to

business combination or to an item recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current Tax

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and it is intended to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized in full. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Tax relating to items recognized directly in equity/ other comprehensive income is recognized in respective head and not in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and is adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

3.16 Hedge Accounting:

The Company till date is not using the booking of forward contracts as hedging instrument for covering its risk against currency fluctuations for all the import and export business carried on during the year. In terms of risk management strategy, the Company does not use forward cover contracts for trading & speculative purposes.

3.17 Expenses:

Goods received are accounted as purchases on satisfactory completion of inspection. Discount to customers and price escalation to suppliers, if any, to the extent not settled at the Balance Sheet date are accounted on the basis of reasonable estimates made after considering negotiations with vendors/ customers. Tools, jigs and fixtures costing less than Rs. 5,000/- each, are written off in the year of purchase.

3.18 Equity and Reserves

Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Retained earnings include current and prior period retained profits.

All transactions with owners of the Company are recorded separately within equity.

3.19 Significant Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, the accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

In particular, the Company has identified the following areas where significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are required. Further information on each of these areas and how they impact the various accounting policies are described below and also in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

Contingencies, Judgments and Assumptions

Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence and potential quantum of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgments and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events. In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

The assumptions concerning the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are mentioned herein below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assets recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or Cash Generating Unit''s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. The calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for

publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

Estimation of Defined Benefit Obligations

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active market, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Estimation of Current Tax and Deferred Tax

Management judgment is required for the calculation of provision for income tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company reviews at each Balance Sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to adjustment to the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and Expected Credit Loss (ECL) rates. The Company uses judgments in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

Legal Contingencies

The Company has received various orders and notices from tax authorities in respect of direct and indirect taxes and most of cases are decided in favour of the company. The outcome

of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management regularly analyzes current information about these matters and provides provisions for probable losses including the estimate of legal expenses to resolve such matters. In making the decision regarding the need for loss provisions, management considers the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. The filing of a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the company or the disclosure of any such suit or assertions does not automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate.

3.20 Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as investments in mutual funds, certain other investments etc. at fair value at each Balance Sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 -Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset, which are not at fair value through profit and loss, are added to fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value

through profit or loss are expensed in Statement of Profit and Loss.

(ii) Subsequent Measurement

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it 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.

Financial assets at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through Statement of Profit and Loss.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the Expected Credit Losses (ECL) associated with its assets measured at amortized cost and assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

A financial asset is derecognized when the Company has transferred the right to receive cash flows from the financial assets or retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the Company transfers the financial asset, it evaluates the extent to which it retains the risk and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets. If the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership of the financial asset, the Company shall derecognize the financial asset and recognize separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Company shall continue to recognize the financial asset.

Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial assets. Where the Company retains control of the financial assets, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Financial Liabilities

Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and in case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable cost. Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized 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. Changes in the amortized value of liability are recorded as finance cost.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value and such value may vary from actual realization on future date.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet, if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.

Any exchange difference arising on translation/ settlement of all foreign monetary items including long term foreign currency monetary items to be recognized as income or expense in profit or loss for the period in which they arise except the scope exclusion provided under Ind AS 21 based on the voluntary exemption given in Ind AS 101.
