(p) Provisions and contingent liabilities:
i. General
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
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.
ii. Contingent laibilities
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
iii. Onerous contracts
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.

The Company’s net worth is fully eroded and the current liabilities exceed its current assets by Rs.3,804.62 as at the reporting date. Existing projects being executed by the Company are nearing completion / or approaching their end of term, which resulted in significant reduction in the Company’s operations over the past three years. The Company has continued to default in payment of various loans to the lenders of the Company, including borrowings from promoter group entities.
As part of its initiaives for resolution of IL&FS Group, the Reconstituted Board of Directors of IL&FS in their reports to National Company Law Tribunal (“NCLT”) categorized the Company under the Group "Red" implying that the Company is unable to meet its contractual, statutory and debt obligations. the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (“NCLAT”) by way of its order on October 15, 2018 (“Interim Order”) in the Company Appeal (AT) 346 of 2018, after taking into consideration the nature of the case, stayed certain coercive and precipitate actions against IL&FS and its group companies including the Company.

Accordingly, the Company is currently not settling liabilities existing prior to October 15 2018, being the cutoff date to its Financial Creditors and the Operational Creditors.
Adverse developments in promoter group entities impacted the operations of the company and also resulted in cancellation/ termination/suspension/foreclosure of certain contracts with customers. The Reconstituted Board and the management of the Company have taken various steps to continue the operations at present level during the period as per the resolution process framework accepted by the Hon’ble NCLAT
In line with the said framework, the Reconstituted Board is in the process of finalizing a comprehensive approach to manage the current situation including sale of existing equity share holding by IL & FS Group. In this process, the Reconstituted Board, as part of resolution process for the Company, has invited expression of interest for acquiring the equity stake in the Company. In January 2022, a bid had been received from an unincorporated Consortium which was subjected to challenge through counter bid under a Swiss Challenge method. The successful bid was submitted to the Committee of Creditors (CoC) for approval and has been duly approved by the CoC during the year. The bid will now be placed before Justice D.K. Jain (Retd.) for approval, followed by submission to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)
The ability of the Company to continue as going concern is solely dependent on positive outcome of resolution process initiated by the Reconstituted Board which would restructure the debt and resume normal operations. Fiancial statements for the year have been prepared on a going concern basis considering the status of the resolution process and steps taken by the Reconstituted Board.

The credit period towards trade receivables generally ranges between 30 to 180 days. Further the customer retains certain amounts as per the contractual terms which usually fall due on the completion of defect liability period (DLP) of contract. These retentions are made to protect the customer from the Company failing to adequately complete all or some of its obligations under the contract.
Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from transfer of goods and services but not billed to customer because the work completed has to meet technical requirements as well as various milestones as set out in the contract with customers. Upon fulfilling the said requirements and acceptance by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received advance payments from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the consideration received. Contract liabilities include advances received from customers towards mobilisation of resources, purchase of materials, etc. and advance billing.

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company. The company is exposed to the credit risk from companie’s receivables from customers, contract assets (Unbilled revenue) and loans and advances given.
Due to development outline in note no. 31(v) the receivable, contract asset and loans given by the company had been substantially impaired/written off in previous years.
Liquidity risk
Due to adverse developments involving promoter group entities, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has imposed a moratorium on the payment of all liabilities that existed as of the cut-off date, i.e., October 15, 2018. Consequently, the company has ceased servicing its financial obligations to lenders and has not settled dues owed to operational creditors for the period prior to the cut-off date.
Under the IL&FS resolution framework, the company has been classified as a "Red Entity", indicating its inability to meet both debt and operational liabilities. The resolution process is currently in progress. Upon successful implementation, it is expected to significantly improve the company’s liquidity position.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The Company’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of liquidity and other market changes.
• Interest rate risk
The company is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. Due to the matters discussed in Note 52, the company has not accrued interest expense post October, 2018. Accordingly, interest rate sensitivity analysis is not disclosed.
The Company’s exposure to interest rates on financial instruments is detailed below:
• Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate. The Company’s presentation currency is the Indian Rupees. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency arises in part when the Company holds financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the entity.
48. In respect of a road project, consequent to arbitration proceedings, the Company has been awarded a favorable Order by the Arbitration Tribunal for an amount of Rs. 703.31. The contractee has preferred an appeal against the said award in Hon’ble High Court of Delhi. The carrying values of assets and liabilities relating to the project was Rs.252.63 [net] which comprises of interest receivable, trade receivable, retention money, mobilization advance and interest payable on said advance. Considering the favorable Order as at the date of reporting, the said amount of Rs.252.63 is considered good for recovery.

Prior to April 1, 2009, the erstwhile promoters had given certain Inter Corporate Deposits (ICDs) to various companies aggregating to Rs. 343.78.

TML, in its Audited Financial Statement for the year ended March 31,2023 continued to disclose as "Suspense Account (Net) Rs. 1,230.40" as disclosed by SCSL earlier.

The Company is confident of recovering the said ICDs together with compensation due thereon from SCSL/TML. Further, based on internal evaluation and legal opinion, documentary evidences available with the Company and in view of the observations of the Special Court in its verdict dated April 9, 2015 on the criminal case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation, confirming that an amount of Rs. 1,425 was transferred to SCSL through the intermediary companies, out of which an amount of Rs. 1,230.40 continues to subsist with SCSL. During the earlier year, the Company had recognised a impairment of Rs. 323.78 towards diminution in the value of these ICD considering the uncertainty in recovering the ICDs in future. The Company has filed a case against the Tech-Mahindra and Ors. for recovery of ICD amounts vide Commercial Suit No. 181/2022 before the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay.
