9. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
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.
10. Cash Flow Statements
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
11. Contingent Liabilities
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation 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 or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised or disclosed in the financial statements.
12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
Standards issued but not yet effective:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.
Ind AS 117 - Insurance Contracts
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has issued a notification dated 12 August 2024 introducing Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts for accounting of insurance contracts which replaces the current standard Ind AS 104, Insurance Contracts. The amendments are applicable with effect from 12 August 2024.
Additionally, amendments have been made to Ind AS 101, First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, Ind AS 103, Business Combinations, Ind AS 105, Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, Ind AS 107, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments and Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to align them with Ind AS 117. The amendments also introduce enhanced disclosure requirements, particularly in Ind AS 107, to provide clarity regarding financial instruments associated with insurance contracts.
The above amendments are not relevant or do not have any impact on the Financial Statements of the company.
Ind AS 116-Leases
On 9 September 2024, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to Ind AS 116 concerning sale and leaseback transactions. The amendment impact how a seller-lessee accounts for variable lease payments that arise in a sale -and leaseback transaction. The amendments introduce a new accounting model for variable payments and will require seller-lessees to reassess and potentially restate sale and- leaseback transactions. The key considerations from the amendments are:
(a) On initial recognition, the seller-lessee includes variable lease payments when it measures a lease liability arising from a sale-and-leaseback transaction.
(b) After initial recognition, the seller-lessee applies the general requirements for subsequent accounting of the lease liability such that it recognises no gain or loss relating to the right of use it retains.
A seller-lessee may adopt different approaches that satisfy the new requirements on subsequent measurement. The amendments are applicable with effect from 1 April 2024. Under Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, a seller-lessee will need to apply the amendments retrospectively to sale and-leaseback transactions entered into or after the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.
The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price (fair value of the consideration given or received). Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company determines the fair value of financial instruments that are quoted in active markets using the quoted bid prices (financial assets held) or quoted ask prices (financial liabilities held) and using valuation techniques for other instruments. Valuation techniques include discounted cash flow method, market comparable method, recent transactions happened in the company and other valuation models.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques, as explained below :
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, units of mutual funds (open ended) and traded bonds that have quoted price. The fair value of till equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all material inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Note 32: Financial risk management
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates risk, interest rates risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The group has a risk management policy which covers the foreign exchange risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The risk management policy broadly aims to identify risks, evaluate and measure the risk and sensitivity to operations, decide the process of management of these risks establish a process for monitoring and control of risks, create an efficient process for reporting to top management, take the regulatory approvals if required.
i) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
li) Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The Company has financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, the Company is exposed to the risk that the exchange rate of the Indian Rupee relative to foreign currencies may change in a manner which has a material effect on the reported values of the Company’s assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by assessing its exposure to exchange rate risks.
(ill) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity for changes in variable interest rates. Any movement in the reference rates could have an impact on the
Company's cash flows as well as costs. The Company is not subject to variable interest rates. Accordingly, there would be no
impact due to interest rate movements. The Company invests temporary cash surplus in fixed interest deposits with banks and in liquid funds of
mutual funds. The interest rate sensitivity is calculated by aggregation of all the fixed deposits, intercorporate deposits and 3taff loans and a simultaneous parallel Interest rates shift by 1%.
1% increase/ decrease of the average interest rate of the Company would result in increase/decrease in the Company’s net income before tax / equity by approximately Rs. 18.34 (in ’000) (for 31st March 2024 Rs.76.36 (in ’000)).
