1.12 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a
present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the
provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an
outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,
no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However,
contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an
inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are
recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
1.13 Revenue Recognition
Sale of goods and services
Revenue is recognized when the Company substantially satisfied its
performance obligation while transferring a promised good or service to its
customers. The company considers the terms of the contract and its
customary business practices to determine the transaction price.
Performance obligations are satisfied at the point of time when the customer
obtains controls of the asset.
Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of
the consideration received or receivable, stated net of discounts, returns and
value added tax. Transaction price is recognized based on the price specified
in the contract, net of the estimated sales incentives/discounts. Accumulated
experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts/ right of return,
using the expected value method.
Unbilled revenue represents amounts recognized based on services
performed in advance of billings in accordance with contract terms and is net
of estimated allowances for uncertainties and provision for estimated losses.
Revenues from annual maintenance contracts are recognized pro-rata over
the period of the contract in which the services are rendered.
Revenue from sale of licenses, hardware and other related items are
recognized when the significant risk and rewards of ownership and title of the
product is transferred to the buyer which generally coincides with
acknowledgement of delivery. The value of sale is net of taxes.
Other Income
Interest Income
Interest Income mainly comprises of interest on Margin money deposit with
banks relating to bank guarantee. Interest income should be recorded using
the effective interest rate (EIR). However, the amount of margin money
deposits relating to bank guarantee are purely current in nature, hence
effective interest rate has not been applied. Interest is recognized using the
time-proportion method, based on rates implicit in the transactions.
1.14 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest, ancillary and other costs that the
Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and interest
relating to other financial liabilities. Borrowing cost also include Exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they
are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use
or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing
costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
1.15 Tax Expenses
Tax expense consists of current and deferred tax.
Income Tax
Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to
the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it
is recognized in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and
any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
forfinancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to
the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the
same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but
they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax
assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
1.16 Earnings per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for
its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the
net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing the profit after tax 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.
1.17 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost using effective interest method, less provision for
impairment, if any.
1.18 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the
Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts
are unsecured and are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not
due within twelve months after the reporting period. They are recognized
initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.
Fair value which is determined for disclosure purposes is calculated based on
the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the
market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market
rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. In
respect of the company’s borrowings that floating rates of interest, their fair
value approximates carrying value.
(a) Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization are based on management estimates of the
future use full lives of the property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets. Estimates may change due to technological developments,
competition, changes in the market conditions and other factors and may
result in changes in the estimated useful life and may result in changes in the
estimated useful life and the depreciation and amortization charges.
(b) Employee benefits
The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of
factors that are determined on an accrual basis using various assumptions.
The assumptions used in determining the net cost/ (income) includes the
discount rate, wage escalation and employee attrition. Any changes in these
assumptions will impact the carrying amount of obligations. The discount rate
is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government and securities
as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.
(c )Trade receivables
The credit worthiness of Trade receivables and the credit terms set are
determined on a case to case basis and the management has factored in the
uncertainties arising out of covid -19, as applicable. Based on other internal
and external sources of information as determined by the management, the
company expects to fully recover the carrying amount of trade receivables
except from certain customers and the company had made the adequate
provision on the same.
The fair value of Trade receivables are not considered to be significantly
different from their carrying values, given their generally short period to
