o. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable 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. 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 recognized as a finance cost. When the unavoidable costs of meeting obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract (onerous contract), the present obligation under the contract is recognized and measured as a provision.
Contingent liability is disclosed in the notes to accounts when in case of a present obligation arising from past events, it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the same is not possible.
Contingent assets are disclosed in the notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
p. Impairment of Assets Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures. The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12- month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
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. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) during the period if any, is recognized as expense/income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-Financial Assets Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Property
As at each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired based on external and internal factors and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognized in the previous periods. If any indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is determined, at the higher of the assets’ fair value less cost to sell and value in use; and - In case of cash generating unit if any, (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of cash generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specified to the asset. In determining fair value less cost to sell, recent market transaction are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation taken to OCI if any. For such properties, the impairment is recognized in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.
q. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per equity share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax (before considering other comprehensive income) for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share, if any, is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity share outstanding during the period except when the results would be anti-dilutive.
r. Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method in accordance with Ind AS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows', whereby profit after tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows are segregated into operating, investing and financing activities.
s. Cash and Cash Equivalents
