2.10Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and
the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
A contingent asset is a possible asset arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. Contingent assets are not recognized till the realization of the income is virtually certain. However, the same are disclosed in the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefit is possible.
2.11 Leases
As a Leasee
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 recognizes a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payment made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct cost 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 incentive received.
The ROU asset is subsequently amortized over the useful life of the ROU asset or the period of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as those of Property,
Plant and Equipment. In addition, the ROU asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Company has elected not to recognize right-to- use assets and lease liabilities for short-term lease that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognize the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
1.12 Employee benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬ monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave that are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months are measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method.
Post-employment obligations The Company operates the following post¬ employment schemes:
(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) defined contribution plans such as provident fund.
Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated
annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Gratuity liability of employees is funded with the approved gratuity trusts.
Defined Contribution Plans
Defined Contribution Plans such as Provident Fund, etc., are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
2.13 Borrowing costs
I nterest and other borrowing costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalized. Other interest and borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.14 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the Company
• average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
• the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
• the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.15 Impairment of Assets:
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable Value. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognized in earlier accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount.
2.16 Foreign currency transactions:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses from the settlement of these transactions are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into functional currency at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, the gain or loss arising on such translations are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
2.17 Exceptional items
Exceptional items are disclosed separately in the financial statements where it is necessary to do so to provide further understanding of the financial performance of the Group. These are material items of income or expense that have to be shown separately due to their nature or incidence.
2.18 Cash Flow Statements

and financing activities of the Company. Cash and cash Equivalent presented in the cash flow statement consist of cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.
2.19 Share-based payment arrangements
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.
2.20 Events occurring after the balance sheet date
Assets and liabilities are adjusted for events occurring after the reporting period that provides additional evidence to assist the estimation of amounts relating to conditions existing at the end of the reporting period. Dividends declared by the Company after the reporting period are not recognized as liability at the end of the reporting period. Dividends declared after the reporting period but before the issue of financial statements are not recognized as liability since no obligation exists at that time. Such dividends are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Refer Statement of Changes in Equity for detailed break-up Securities Premium:
The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in Securities Premium Reserve. The reserve is utilised in accordance with the specific provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Retained Earnings:

E0i DISCLOSURE UNDER IND AS 116 - LEASES
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 on “Leases” by applying it to all contracts of leases existing on April 1, 2019 by using modified retrospective approach. The Company has recognised and measured the Right-of-Use (ROU) asset and the lease liability over the remaining lease period and payments discounted using the incremental borrowing rate as at the date of initial application.
ESI FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUES & RISK MANAGEMENT
48.1 Accounting Classifications & Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are measured at the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
All financial instruments are initially recognized and subsequently re-measured at fair value as described below :
1. The fair value of investment in quoted equity shares and mutual funds is measured at quoted price or NAV.
2. Fair values of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short-term maturities of these instruments.
3. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on the evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
4. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps is determined using forward exchange rates and yield curves at the balance sheet date.
The company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair values of financial instruments by
valuation technique:
Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : Inputs other than the quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly.
