6) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets:
Provisions are recognized when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) 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.
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist when a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from it.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgment of management / independent experts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current management estimate.
Contingent assets are not recognized, however, disclosed in financial statement when inflow of economic benefits is probable.
7) Revenue recognition:
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of goods comprising Surface Finishings. The revenue of Engineering division is from design, fabrication and manufacture of surface coating equipment and plant. In respect of Mall revenue is derived from Business Conducting/License Fees.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition:
Revenue from contract with customers is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for turnover/product/prompt payment discounts to customer as specified in the contract with the customers. When the level of discount varies with increase in levels of revenue transactions, the Company recognises the liability based on its estimate of the customer's future purchases. If it is probable that the criteria for the discount will not be met, or if the amount thereof cannot be estimated reliably, then discount is not recognised until the payment is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. The Company recognises changes in the estimated amount of obligations for discounts in the period in which the change occurs. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
Use of significant judgements in revenue recognition.
• Judgement is also required to determine the transaction price for the contract. The transaction price could be either a fixed amount of consideration or variable consideration with elements such as turnover/product/prompt payment discounts. Any consideration payable to the customer is adjusted to the transaction price, unless it is a payment for a distinct product or service from the customer. The estimated amount of variable consideration is adjusted in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
• The Company exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
i. Sale of goods:
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized, at a point in time when control is transferred to customer , as per the terms of the contracts and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods. It excludes Goods and Services tax. It is measured at fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
ii. Engineering division:
Equipment manufactured by the Engineering division for use by other divisions is included in the sales at transfer price and are capitalised by other division.
iii. Income from Business conducting/Licence fees:
Income arising out of Business conducting/License fees is accounted at contracted rates, keeping in view, the collectability of the resulting receivables is reasonably assured and is disclosed net of indirect taxes, if any.
iv. Revenue from amenities provided:
Revenue from amenities provided is recognized at value of service and is disclosed net of indirect taxes, if any. Recoveries made against common area maintenance expenses are netted off against expenses.
v. Job contract receipts:
The Company follows the "Percentage of Completion Method" of accounting for all contracts. The revenue from the execution of contracts is recognized proportionately with the degree of completion achieved under each contract, matching revenue with expenses incurred and is accounted over a period of time.
vi. Rendering of services:
Revenue from rendering of services is recognized as per the terms of the contract with customers when related services are performed and when the outcome of the transactions involving rendering of services can be estimated reliably.
vii. Dividend income:
Dividend Income is accounted for when the right to receive the same is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
viii. Interest income:
Interest income on financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
ix. Insurance and other claims:
Insurance and other claims/refunds, due to uncertainty in realisation are accounted for on acceptance/actual receipt basis.
8) Employee benefits:
i. Short term employee benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering services are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc., are recognized during the period in which the employee renders related services and are measured at undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
ii. Long term employee benefits:
The cost of providing long term employee benefit such as earned leave is 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. The expected costs of the benefit is accrued over the period of employment using the same methodology as used for defined benefits post employment plans. Actuarial gains and losses arising from the experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss in which they arise except those included in cost of assets as permitted. The benefit is valued annually by an independent actuary.
iii. Post employment benefits:
The Company provides the following post employment benefits:
i) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
ii) Defined contributions plans such as provident fund.
iv. Defined benefits plans:
The cost of providing benefits on account of gratuity are determined using the projected unit credit method on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of each balance sheet date, which recognises each period of service as given rise to additional unit of employees benefit entitlement and measuring each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The yearly expenses on account of these benefits are provided in the books of accounts.
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 except those included in cost of assets as permitted.
Re-measurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and change in actuarial assumptions, the effect of change in assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan asset (excluding net interest as defined above) are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.
Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss except those included in cost of assets as permitted in the period in which they occur.
v. Defined contribution plans:
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, viz., Provident Fund for eligible employees, and Superannuation benefits are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered the service entitling them to the contribution.
9) Taxes on income:
Income tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
a) Current tax:
Current tax includes provision for Income tax computed under special provision (i.e., Minimum alternate tax) or normal provision of Income Tax Act. Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.
b) Deferred tax:
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unabsorbed losses and unabsorbed depreciation to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences, unabsorbed losses and unabsorbed depreciation can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
10) Segment reporting:
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments of the Company.
11) Financial instruments:
Investments in subsidiaries:
Investments in equity shares of subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment. Impairment is provided for on the basis explained in Para B (iii) above.
Financial assets other than investment in subsidiaries:
Financial assets of the Company comprise trade receivable, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances, investments in equity shares of companies other than in subsidiaries, investment other than equity shares, loans/advances to employee/ related parties/others, security deposit, claims recoverable etc.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the 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. However, Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at Transaction Price. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement:
For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in three categories:
- Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- Financial assets at fair value through OCI
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets measured at amortized cost:-
Bank deposits and Security deposits are measured at amortized cost. Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the financials 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. These financials assets are amortized using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in finance costs.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):-
Any financial asset that does not meet the criteria for classification as at amortized cost or as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition:
The Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
Impairment of financial assets:
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit loss (ECL) model on the following:
- Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost.
- Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
ECL is measured through a loss allowance on a following basis:
- The 12 month expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instruments that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date)
- Full life time expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of financial instruments)
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment on trade receivables or contract assets resulting from normal business transactions. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. However, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, from the date of initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is provided. For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company assesses the credit risk characteristics on instrument-by-instrument basis.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR.
Impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the year is recognized as expense/income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Financial liabilities:
The Company's financial liabilities include loans and borrowings including book overdraft, trade payable, accrued expenses and other payables.
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial liabilities at initial recognition are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement:
The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends upon the classification as described below:-Financial liabilities classified as amortised cost:-
All Financial Liabilities other than derivatives are measured at amortised cost. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of assets is included as Finance costs in Profit or Loss.
Derecognition:
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged / cancelled / expired. When 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 the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c) Derivatives
Derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument and is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Cash flow hedges shall be reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss. If hedge of a forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, then the gain or loss that are accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve is recognised in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability (this is also referred to as "Basis Adjustment”).

During the year ended March 31, 2023, a fire broke out in one of the production units of the Company at Pune resulting in loss of inventories amounting to Rs. 72.28 Lacs. The same has been disclosed as an Exceptional item.
NOTE- 31: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and other equity reserves, long term funds attributable to the Equity Shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company's Capital Management is to maximise shareholders value and keep the debt equity ratio within acceptable range. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial covenants.
NOTE- 32: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities expose it to various financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management assessment and policies and processes are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company by setting appropriate limits and controls and monitoring such risks. The policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk arising from its operating (primarily trade receivables) and investing activities including deposits placed with banks.
The Company exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Credit risk is managed through close monitoring of receivables and having a strict control on allowing the credit period to customers. Additionally, the Company does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks. The Company limits its exposure to credit risk for investments by generally investing in fixed deposits and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating.
Considering that significant part of Company's sales in Surface Finishings division is either with established dealer network where payments are generally in advance/cash on delivery or with direct customers wherein credit worthiness as well as credit limits, wherever possible, are closely monitored on a case to case basis by Management, Company expects a low probability of default on Trade Receivables as on March 31, 2024. Going forward, Management has factored in the uncertainties for deliveries subsequent to March 31, 2024.
The outstanding trade receivable due for period exceeding 180 days as at March 31, 2024 is 10.05% (March 31, 2023 is 13.34%) of the total trade receivables
There are no transaction with single customers which amounts to 10% or more of Company revenue.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity Risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet the financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both, normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation.
The Company has unutilised working capital limits from banks of Rs. 10,893/- Lacs as on March 31, 2024 (Rs. 10,085 Lacs as on March 31, 2023), cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 12,499.28 Lacs as on March 31, 2024 (Rs. 9,561.84 Lacs as on March 31, 2023) and in fixed deposits of Rs. 31,218.92 Lacs as on March 31, 2024 (Rs. 24,652.69 Lacs as on March 31, 2023). Therefore, Company does not expect any material Liquidity risk.
With significant investments in fixed deposits, cash in hand and available borrowing lines as mentioned above, the Company does not envisage any material effect on its liquidity.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes investments, trade payables, trade receivables and loans.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company has insignificant interest bearing borrowings, the exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates is minimal.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company generally enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposures for imports wherever required.
