17 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent
assets

A. Provisions

A provision is recognised if

• the Company has present legal or
constructive obligation as a result of an
event in the past;

• it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation; and

• the amount of the obligation has been
reliably estimated.

Provisions are measured at the management''s
best estimate of the expenditure required to
settle the obligation at the end of the reporting
period. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted to reflect its
present value using a current pre-tax discount
rate that reflects the current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the obligation. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognised as a finance cost.

The Company provides for general repairs of
defects that existed at the time of sale, as required
by the law. Provision for warranty related costs
are recognised when the product is sold to
the customer. Initial recognition is based on
historical experience. The estimate of warranty
related costs is revised annually.

If the Company has a contract that is onerous,
the present obligation under the contract is
recognised and measured as a provision. However,
before a separate provision for an onerous
contract is established, the Company recognises
any impairment loss that has occurred on assets
dedicated to that contract. An onerous contract is
a contract under which the unavoidable costs (i.e.,
the costs that the Company cannot avoid because
it has the contract) of meeting the obligations
under the contract exceed the economic benefits
expected to be received under it. The unavoidable
costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of
exiting from the contract, which is the lower of
the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or
penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. The cost of
fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate
directly to the contract (i.e., both incremental
costs and an allocation of costs directly related to
contract activities).

B. 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 the obligation or a reliable
estimate of the amount cannot be made.

A contingent liability recognised in a business
combination is initially measured at its fair value.
Subsequently, it is measured at the higher
of the amount that would be recognised in
accordance with the requirements for provisions
above or the amount initially recognised less,
when appropriate, cumulative amortisation
recognised in accordance with the requirements
for revenue recognition.

C. Contingent assets

A contingent asset is a possible asset that
arises from past events and whose existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of
the entity. A contingent asset is not recognised
but disclosed where an inflow of economic
benefit is probable.

18 Employee benefits

A. Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non¬
monetary benefits that are expected to be settled
wholly within 12 months after the end of the
period in which the employees render the related
service are recognised in the same period in

which the employees renders the related service
and are measured at the amounts expected to be
paid when the liabilities are settled.

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund
is a defined contribution plan. The Company
has no obligation, other than the contribution
payable to the provident fund. The Company
recognises contribution payable to the provident
fund scheme as an expense, when an employee
renders the related services. If the Contribution
payable to the scheme for service received before
the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution
already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme
is recognised as a liability after deducting the
contribution already paid. If the contribution
already paid exceeds the contribution due for
services received before the balance sheet
date, then excess is recognised as an asset to
the extent that the prepayment will lead to a
reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

B. Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave
are not expected to be settled wholly within
12 months after the end of the period in which
the employees render the related service. They
are therefore 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 using the projected unit
credit method. The benefits are discounted using
the market yields at the end of the reporting
period that have terms approximating to the
terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements
as a result of experience adjustments and
changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised
in the statement of profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities
in the balance sheet if the entity does not have
an unconditional right to defer settlement for
atleast twelve months after the reporting period,
regardless of when the actual settlement is
expected to occur.

C. Post-employment obligations

The Company operates the following post¬
employment schemes

(a) defined benefit plans - gratuity and obligation
towards shortfall of Provident Fund Trusts

(b) defined contribution plans - Provident fund
(RPFC Contributions), superannuation and
pension

Defined benefit plans :

The liability or asset recognised in the balance
sheet in respect of defined benefit plans is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation
at the end of the reporting period less the fair
value of plan assets excluding non-qualifying
asset (reimbursement right). The defined benefit
obligation is calculated annually by actuaries
using the projected unit credit method. The
present value of the defined benefit obligation is
determined by discounting the estimated future
cash outflows by reference to market yields at
the end of the reporting period on government
bonds that have terms approximating to the terms
of the related obligation. 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. Remeasurement gains and
losses arising from experience adjustments and
changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised
in the period in which they occur, directly in other
comprehensive income. They are included in
retained earnings in the statement of changes in
equity and in the balance sheet.

Insurance policy held by the Company from
insurers who are related parties are not
qualifying insurance policies and hence the right
to reimbursement is recognised as a separate
assets under other non-current and/or current
assets as the case may be.

Changes in the present value of the defined
benefit obligation resulting from plan
amendments or curtailments are recognised
immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Defined contribution plans :

In respect of certain employees, the Company
pays provident fund contributions to publicly
administered provident funds as per local
regulations. The Company has no further
payment obligations once the contributions have
been paid. Such contributions are accounted for
as employee benefit expense when they are due.
Defined contribution to superannuation fund is
being made as per the scheme of the Company.
Defined contribution to Employees Pension
Scheme 1995 is made to Government Provident
Fund Authority whereas the contributions for
National Pension Scheme is made to Stock
Holding Corporation of India Limited.

D. Share based payment

The Company operates a number of equity
settled, employee share based compensation
plans, under which the Company receives
services from employees as consideration for
equity shares of the Company. Equity settled
share based payment to employees and other
providing similar services are measured at fair
value of the equity instrument at grant date.

The fair value of the employee services
received in exchange for the grant of the
options is determined by reference to the fair

value of the options as at the Grant Date and is
recognised as an ''employee benefits expense''
with a corresponding increase in equity. The
total expense is recognised over the vesting
period which is the period over which the
applicable vesting condition is to be satisfied.
The total amount to be expensed is determined
by reference to the fair value of the options
granted excluding the impact of any service
vesting conditions.

At the end of each year, the entity revises its
estimates of the number of options that are
expected to vest based on the service vesting
conditions. It recognises the impact of the
revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or
loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

If at any point of time after the vesting of the
share options, the right to the same expires
(either by virtue of lapse of the exercise period
or the employee leaving the Company), the fair
value of the options accruing in favour of the said
employee are written back to the retained earning
in the reporting period in which the right expires.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is
reflected as additional share dilution in the
computation of diluted earnings per share

Pursuant to the scheme of demerger, the
employees also have benefits available in
the other group entity. The Company records
as a cross charge for such employee share
based compensation.

19 Trade credits
Suppliers'' credit

Supplier''s credit also includes amounts payable
towards vendor financing entered into with the
suppliers. Under this arrangement, the supplier is
eligible to receive payment prior to the expiry of
extended credit period by assigning such invoices to
a third-party purchaser bank based on security in the
form of an undertaking issued by the Company to
the bank. Further, the supplier charges interest to the
Company for the extended credit period which has
been presented under Finance Cost.

These are normally settled up to four months. Where
these arrangements are for goods used in the normal
operations of the Company with a maturity of up to four
months, the economic substance of the transaction
is determined to be operating in nature and these
are recognised as operational suppliers'' credit and
disclosed on the face of the balance sheet under trade
credits. Payments made to vendors are treated as cash
item and disclosed as cash flow from operating activity
depending on the nature of the underlying transaction.

Customers'' credit

Customer credits include receivables which are subject
to factoring arrangements and channel financing
facilities. Under this arrangement the Company has
transferred the relevant receivables to the factor
in exchange for cash. The Company continues to
recognise the transferred assets in their entirety in its
balance sheet with the corresponding liability under
customer credits.

20 Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company
that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating
results are regularly reviewed by the entity''s chief
operating decision maker to make decisions about
resources to be allocated to the segment and assess
its performance and for which discrete financial
information is available.

Operating segments often exhibit similar long-term
financial performance if they have similar economic
characteristics. Two or more operating segments are
aggregated by the Company into a single operating
segment if aggregation is consistent with the core
principle of Ind AS 108, the segments have similar
economic characteristics, and the segments are similar
in aspects as defined by Ind AS.

The Company reports separately, information about
an operating segment that meets any of quantitative
thresholds as defined by Ind AS. Operating segments
that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds,
are considered reportable and separately disclosed,
only if management of the Company believes that
information about the segment would be useful to
users of the financial statements

Information about other business activities and
operating segments that are not reportable
separately are combined and disclosed in an ''all other
segments'' category

21 Dividends

The Company recognises a liability to pay dividend
to equity holders when the distribution is authorised
and is no longer at the discretion of the Company.
As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is
authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A
corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
Interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date
of declaration by the Company''s Board of Directors.

22 Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

The Company classifies non-current assets and
disposal Companys as held for sale if their carrying
amounts will be recovered principally through a sale
rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets
and disposal Companys classified as held for sale are
measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair

value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental
costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset
(disposal Company), excluding finance costs and
income tax expense.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as
met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset
or disposal Company is available for immediate sale
in its present condition. Actions required to complete
the sale/ distribution should indicate that it is unlikely
that significant changes to the sale will be made or that
the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management
must be committed to the sale and the sale expected
within one year from the date of classification. For
these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges
of non-current assets for other non-current assets
when the exchange has commercial substance. The
criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met
only when the assets or disposal Company is available
for immediate sale in its present condition, subject
only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of
such assets (or disposal Companys), its sale is highly
probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned.

The Company treats sale of the asset or disposal
Company to be highly probable when:

• The appropriate level of management is
committed to a plan to sell the asset (or
disposal Company),

• An active programme to locate a buyer
and complete the plan has been initiated
(if applicable),

• The asset (or disposal Company) is being actively
marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in
relation to its current fair value,

• The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as
a completed sale within one year from the date of
classification, and

• Actions required to complete the plan indicate
that it is unlikely that significant changes
to the plan will be made or that the plan
will be withdrawn.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible are not
depreciated, or amortised assets once classified as
held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held
for sale are presented separately from other items in
the balance sheet.

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results
of continuing operations and are presented as a single
amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued
operations in the statement of profit and loss. All other
notes to the financial statements mainly include amounts
for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned.

23 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing
the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of

equity shares outstanding during the year. Earnings
/ (loss) considered in ascertaining the Company''s
earnings per share is the net profit / (loss) for the
year. The weighted average number equity shares
outstanding during the year and all year presented is
adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than
the conversion of potential equity shares, that have
changed the number of equity shares outstanding,
without a corresponding change in resources. For the
purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the
net profit of loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of
share outstanding during the year is adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

24 Investment in Associate

Investment in associates are accounted at cost in
accordance with Ind AS 28.

25 All amounts disclosed in the standalone financial
statements and notes have been rounded off to
the nearest lakh (upto two decimals) as per the
requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

1C NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS

The Company applied for the first-time certain standards
and amendments, which are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 April 2024. The Company has not
early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment
that has been issued but is not yet effective.

(i) Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts

The Ministry of corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the
Ind AS 117, Insurance Contracts, vide notification
dated 12 August 2024, under the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024,
which is effective from annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 April 2024.

Ind AS 117 Insurance Contracts is a comprehensive
new accounting standard for insurance contracts
covering recognition and measurement, presentation
and disclosure. Ind AS 117 replaces Ind AS 104
Insurance Contracts. Ind AS 117 applies to all types of
insurance contracts, regardless of the type of entities
that issue them as well as to certain guarantees and
financial instruments with discretionary participation
features; a few scope exceptions will apply. Ind AS 117
is based on a general model, supplemented by:

• A specific adaptation for contracts with direct
participation features (the variable fee approach)

• A simplified approach (the premium allocation
approach) mainly for short-duration contracts

The application of Ind AS 117 had no impact on the
Company''s standalone financial statements as the
Company has not entered any contracts in the nature
of insurance contracts covered under Ind AS 117.

(ii) Amendment to Ind AS 116 Leases - Lease
Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

The MCA notified the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024, which
amend Ind AS 116, Leases, with respect to Lease
Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.

The amendment specifies the requirements that a
seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising
in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-
lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss
that relates to the right of use it retains. The amendment
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 April 2024 and must be applied retrospectively
to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the
date of initial application of Ind AS 116.

The amendment does not have any impact on the
Company''s standalone financial statements

STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

There are no standards that are notified and not yet
effective as on the date.

CLIMATE RELATED MATTERS

The Company considers climate-related matters
in estimates and assumptions, where appropriate
and based on its overall assessment, believes that
the climate-related risks might not currently have a
significant impact on the Company. However, the
Company will continue to closely monitor relevant
changes and developments, such as any new climate-
related legislation as and when they become applicable

1D SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS
AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of standalone financial statements requires
the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will
seldom equal the actual results. The management also needs
to exercise judgment in applying the Company''s accounting
policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that
involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of
items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to
estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than
those originally assessed. Detailed information about each
of these estimates and judgments is included below.

1 Warranty provision

The Company generally offers 1-2 years standard
warranties for its products. The Company has taken
warranty insurance under which most of the products
are covered. The Company recognises warranty
provision basis assumptions, on serviceable sales
and cost to service those serviceable sales. The
warranty insurance premium paid is charged off to
the statement of profit and loss account and warranty
insurance assets is created on an estimated basis. The
insurance claims received are then netted against the
said warranty insurance assets.

The Company also sells certain lighting fitting to its
customers. In few lighting fittings products, the drivers
are an essential part and are expected to last for a
longer period. In such cases, the Company provides
warranties beyond fixing defects that existed at the
time of sale. Basis this, the Company recognises this
as a separate performance obligation and recognises
revenue only in the period in which such service is
provided based on time elapsed.

2 Impairment allowance for trade receivables

The Company makes allowances for doubtful
accounts receivable using a simplified approach
which is a dual policy of an ageing based provision
and historical / anticipated customer experience.
Management believes that this simplified model
closely represents the expected credit loss model to be
applied on financial assets as per Ind AS 109. Further,
in case of operationally closed projects, Company
makes specific assessment of the overdue balances
by considering the customer''s historical payment
patterns, latest correspondences with the customers
for recovery of the amounts outstanding and credit
status of the significant counterparties where
available. Accordingly, a best judgment estimate is
made to record the impairment allowance in respect of
operationally closed projects.

3 Project revenue and costs

Revenue from construction contracts is recognised
based on the stage of completion determined with
reference to the actual costs incurred up to reporting
date on the construction contract and the estimated
cost to complete the project. The percentage-of-
completion method places considerable importance
on accurate estimates to the extent of progress
towards completion and may involve estimates on
the scope of deliveries and services required for
fulfilling the contractually defined obligations. These
significant estimates include total contract costs, total
contract revenues, contract risks, including technical,
political and regulatory risks, and other judgments.
The Company re-assesses these estimates on periodic
basis and makes appropriate revisions accordingly.

4 Fair value measurement

When the fair values of financial assets and financial
liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be
measured based on quoted prices in active markets,
their fair value is measured using appropriate valuation
techniques. The inputs for these valuations are taken
from observable sources where possible, but where
this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required
in establishing fair values. Judgements include
considerations of various inputs including liquidity
risk, credit risk, volatility etc. Changes in assumptions/
judgements about these factors could affect the
reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer Note
34 of financial statements for the fair value disclosures
and related sensitivity.

5 Employee benefits

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other
post-employment leave benefits are determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves
making various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These include
the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities
involved in the valuation and its long-term nature,
a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to
changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are
reviewed at each reporting date. The mortality rate is
based on publicly available mortality tables. Those
mortality tables tend to change only at interval in
response to demographic changes. Future salary
increases are based on expected future inflation rates.
Refer note 21 of financial statements for disclosure.

6 Leases

Estimates are required to determine the appropriate
discount rate used to measure lease liabilities. The
Company cannot readily determine the interest rate
implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental
borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The
IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would
have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a
similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset
of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar
economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects
what the Company ''would have to pay'', which requires
estimation when no observable rates are available or
when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms
and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates
the IBR using observable inputs (such as market
interest rates, bank rates to the Company for a loan of a
similar tenure, etc). The Company has applied a single
discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in
similar economic environment with a similar end date.

7 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date,
whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual
impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount.
An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an
asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) fair value less
costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable
amount is determined for an individual asset, unless
the asset does not generate cash inflows that are
largely independent of those from other assets or
Companys of assets. When the carrying amount of
an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the
asset is considered impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs

of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into
account. If no such transactions can be identified,
an appropriate valuation model is used. These
calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples,
quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or
other available fair value indicators.

The Company bases its impairment calculation on
detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which
are prepared separately for each of the Company''s
CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated.
These budgets and forecast calculations generally
cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long¬
term growth rate is calculated and applied to project
future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash
flow projections beyond periods covered by the most
recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates
cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or
declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an
increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth
rate does not exceed the long-term average growth
rate for the products, industries, or country or countries
in which the Company operates, or for the market in
which the asset is used.

Impairment losses of continuing operations, including
impairment on inventories, are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss, except for properties
previously revalued with the revaluation surplus
taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment is
recognised in OCI up to the amount of any previous
revaluation surplus.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made
at each reporting date to determine whether there is
an indication that previously recognised impairment
losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such
indication exists, the Company estimates the asset''s
or CGU''s recoverable amount. A previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the assumptions used to determine the
asset''s recoverable amount since the last impairment
loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that
the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined, net of depreciation,
had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried
at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is
treated as a revaluation increase.

8 Retailer Bonding Program

The Company has a loyalty points program, "Retailer
Bonding Program", which allows customers to
accumulate points that can be redeemed for free
products, upto a limited time period. The loyalty points
give rise to a separate performance obligation as they
provide a material right to the customer. A portion of
the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points
awarded to customers based on relative stand-alone
selling price and recognized as deferred revenue

until the points are redeemed. Revenue is recognized
upon redemption of products by the customer. When
estimating the stand-alone selling price of the loyalty
points, the Company considers the likelihood that
the customer will redeem the points. The Company
considers various judgement and estimates like
determination of cost of redemption, redeemed points,
expiry date, etc. The Company updates its estimates on
a quarterly basis and any adjustments to the deferred
revenue are charged against revenue.

9 Share based payments

The Company initially measures the cost of cash-
settled transactions with employees using a binomial
model to determine the fair value of the liability
incurred. Estimating fair value for share-based
payment transactions requires determination of the
most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent

on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate
also requires determination of the most appropriate
inputs to the valuation model including the expected
life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield
and making assumptions about them.

10 Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax
losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the losses can
be utilised. Significant management judgement is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax
assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely
timing and the level of future taxable profits together
with future tax planning strategies.

11 For judgements relating to contingent liabilities,
refer note 40(a).

Nature and purpose of reserves
Securities Premium

Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013.

General Reserve

Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified
percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in
a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the
total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer
a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the
general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.

Share options outstanding account

The fair value of the equity-settled share based payment transactions is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss with corresponding
credit to Employee Stock Options Outstanding Account.

Effective Portion of Cashflow Hedges

The Company uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated on
borrowings. For hedging foreign currency and interest rate risk, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, cross
currency swaps, foreign currency option contracts and interest rate swaps. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in
fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges. Amounts recognised in the effective
portion of cash flow hedges is reclassified to the statement of profit and loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Amalgamation adjustment reserve

The Company creates amalgamation adjustment reserve on account of business combination pursuant to any schemes for
merger/demerger, etc.

Note 17 : Other Equity (Contd..)

Retained earnings

Retained earnings are the profits/(loss) that the Company has earned/incurred till date, less any transfers to general reserve,
dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings include re-measurement loss / (gain) on defined benefit
plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Capital reserve

In case of business combinations, if the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred,
the Company re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews
the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess
of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in OCI and
accumulated in equity as capital reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain purchase, the entity recognises the gain
directly in equity as capital reserve, without routing the same through OCI.

Capital redemption reserve

The Company in the past had redeemed certain preference shares of H 1,000.00 lakhs. The Company had set aside an equal amount
from retained earnings into capital redemption reserve. Further, the said capital redemption reserve was used for issue of bonus
shares in the year ended March 31, 2008 and an amount of H 864.29 lakhs was utilised from the said reserve.

Note 18 : Borrowings

There are no borrowings outstanding as at 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024.

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise of trade payables, trade credits, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities. The
main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the entity''s operations and to provide support for its operations. The Company''s
principal financial assets include trade receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents and bank balances, loans and other financial
assets, that derive directly from its operations.

The Company lays down appropriate policies and procedures to ensure that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in
accordance with the entity''s policies and risk objectives.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, which are explained in detail below:

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Credit risk encompasses the direct risk of default, the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The
Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities mainly in relation to trade and other receivables and bank deposits
and investments.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and credit risk is managed through credit approvals and
periodical monitoring of the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms. In respect of trade receivables,
the Company typically operates in two segments:

Consumer products

The Company sells the products mainly through various channels i.e. dealers and distributors, institutions and e-commerce and
through government sector. The appointment of dealers, distributors, institutions is strictly driven as per the standard operating
procedures and credit policy followed by the Company. In case of government sector, the credit risk is low.

Lighting Solutions

In case of Business to Consumer (B2C) sub-segment, the credit risk of the receivables are similar to consumer products.

In case of Business to Business (B2B) sub-segment, the Company undertakes projects for government institutions (including local
bodies) and private institutional customers. The credit concentration is more towards government institutions. These projects
are normally of duration of 6 months to 1 year. Such projects normally are regular tender business with the terms and conditions
agreed as per the tender. The Company enters into such projects after careful consideration of strategy, terms of payment, past
experience etc.

In case of private institutional customers, before tendering for the projects company evaluate the creditworthiness, general feedback
about the customer in the market, past experience, if any with customer, and accordingly negotiates the terms and conditions
with the customer.

The Company assesses its trade and other receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether
an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data
indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such trade and other receivables. In respect of trade
receivables the Company has a provisioning policy that is commensurate to the expected losses. The provisioning policy is based
on past experience, customer creditability, and also on the nature and specifics of business. In case of B2B sub-segment in Lighting
Solutions, the Company also provides on more case-to-case basis.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is the carrying value of such trade and other
receivables as shown in note 6, 8 and 13 of the standalone financial statements.

Bank deposits & Investments

The Company maintains its cash and bank balances with credit worthy banks and financial institutions and reviews it on an on-going
basis. Moreover, the interest-bearing deposits are with banks and financial institutions of reputation, good past track record and high-
quality credit rating. Hence, the credit risk is assessed to be low. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2025 and March
31, 2024 is the carrying value of such cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as shown in note 8, 12 and 13 of the financials.

B) Liquidity risk

The Company has a central treasury department, which is responsible for maintaining adequate liquidity in the system to fund
business growth, capital expenditures, as also ensure the repayment of financial liabilities. The department obtains business plans
from business units including the capex budget, which is then consolidated and borrowing requirements are ascertained in terms
of long term funds and short-term funds. Treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit
lines in the form of fund based and non-fund based (LC and BG) limits.

The limits sanctioned and utilised are then monitored monthly, fortnightly and daily basis to ensure that mismatches in cash flows
are taken care of, all operational and financial commitments are honoured on time and there is proper movement of funds between
the banks from cashflow and interest arbitrage perspective.

(C) 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 risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as commodity risk.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates.

The Company operates in the global market and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency
transactions, primarily with respect to the US Dollar (''USD''), Euro (''EUR''), Great Britain Pound (''GBP''), Chinese Yuan Renminbi
(''RMB''), United Arab Emirates Dirham (''AED''), and Canadian Dollar (''CAD''). Exposure is largely in exports receivables and
Imports payables arising out of trade in the normal course of business. As these commercial transactions are recorded in
currency other than the functional currency (INR), the Company is exposed to Foreign Exchange risk arising from future
commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The Company is a net importer as its imports and other forex
liabilities exceeds the exports. It ascertains its forex exposure and bifurcates the same into forex receivables and payables.
These exposures are covered by taking appropriate forward cover from the banks.

The Company takes a forward cover based on the underlying liability for the estimated period which would be closed to
the likely maturity date of the forex liability proposed to be hedged. On maturity date, the forward contracts are utilized for
settlement of the underlying transactions or cancelled.

(ii) 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. In case of short term borrowings, the interest rate is fixed in a large number of cases. Hence, interest rate
risk is assessed to be low. Accordingly, the sensitivity / exposure to change in interest rate is insignificant

(iii) Commodity Price risk

The Company''s revenue is exposed to market risk of price fluctuations related to the sales of its products. Market forces
generally determine the prices for the products sold by the Company. This prices may be influenced by the factors such as
supply, demand, production cost (including the cost of raw materials), regional and global economic conditions and growth.
Adverse changes in any of the factors may reduce the revenue that Company earns from sale of its products. The Company is
therefore subject to fluctuations in prices for the purpose of raw materials like Aluminium, Copper and other raw material inputs.

Commodity hedging is used primarily as a risk management tool to secure the future cash flow in case of volatility by entering
into commodity forward contracts. The Company has entered into commodity forward contracts for aluminium and Copper.
Hedging the price volatility of forecast aluminium and copper purchases is in accordance with the risk management strategy
outlined by the Board of Directors. Hedging commodity is based on procurement schedule and price risk. Commodity is
undertaken as a risk offsetting exercise and depending upon market conditions, hedges may extend beyond the financial year.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign
exchange and commodity forward contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions (i.e.,
notional amount and expected payment date). The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships
as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts are identical to the hedged risk components.
To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair
value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.

The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:

• Differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments

• Different indexes (and accordingly different curves) linked to the hedged risk of the hedged items and hedging instruments

Note 35: Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd..)

• The counterparties'' credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items

• Changes to the forecasted amount of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments
There are no commodity future contracts held as on 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024.

There are no hedging transactions during the year ended as on 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024.

There are no hedging gain/loss during the year ended as on 31st March 2025 and 31st March 2024.

Note 36: Capital Management

The Company has cash surplus and has no capital other than equity and reserves.

The cash surpluses are currently invested in income generating debt instruments (including through mutual funds) and money market
instruments depending on economic conditions in line with the guidelines set out by the Management. Safety of capital is of prime
importance to ensure availability of capital for operations. Further the objective of the Company''s capital management is to safeguard
its ability to continue as going concern, maintain strong credit rating, preserve cash and to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital
structure and maximize shareholder value.

The Company does not have any borrowings and does not borrow funds unless circumstances require. To maintain or adjust the capital
structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company is not subject to any
externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the
year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Nature and purpose of reserves Securities Premium

Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

General Reserve

Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.

Share options outstanding account

The fair value of the equity-settled share based payment transactions is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss with corresponding credit to Employee Stock Options Outstanding Account.

Effective Portion of Cashflow Hedges

The Company uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated on borrowings. For hedging foreign currency and interest rate risk, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps, foreign currency option contracts and interest rate swaps. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges. Amounts recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges is reclassified to the statement of profit and loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Amalgamation adjustment reserve

The Company creates amalgamation adjustment reserve on account of business combination pursuant to any schemes for merger/demerger, etc. Retained earnings

Retained earnings are the profits/(loss) that the Company has earned/incurred till date, less any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings include re-measurement loss / (gain) on defined benefit plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Capital reserve

In case of business combinations,if the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Company re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity as capital reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain purchase, the entity recognises the gain directly in equity as capital reserve, without routing the same through OCI.

Capital redemption reserve

The Company in the past had redeemed certain preference shares of Rs 1,000.00 lakhs. The Company had set aside an equal amount from retained earnings into capital redemption reserve. Further, the said capital redemption reserve was used for issue of bonus shares in the year ended March 31, 2008 and an amount of H 864.29 lakhs was utilised from the said reserve.

However the two trusts namely Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (for Chakan employees) and Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (for H.O. employees) are independent trusts.

The Company assesses its trade and other receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such trade and other receivables. In respect of trade receivables the Company has a provisioning policy that is commensurate to the expected losses. The provisioning policy is based on past experience, customer creditability, and also on the nature and specifics of business. In case of B2B sub-segment in Lighting Solutions, the Company also provides on more case-to-case basis.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is the carrying value of such trade and other receivables as shown in note 6, 8 and 13 of the standalone financial statements.

Bank deposits & Investments

The Company maintains its cash and bank balances with credit worthy banks and financial institutions and reviews it on an ongoing basis. Moreover, the interest-bearing deposits are with banks and financial institutions of reputation, good past track record

and high-quality credit rating. Hence, the credit risk is assessed to be low. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is the carrying value of such cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as shown in note 8 and 12 of the financials.

B) Liquidity risk

The Company has a central treasury department, which is responsible for maintaining adequate liquidity in the system to fund business growth, capital expenditures, as also ensure the repayment of financial liabilities.The department obtains business plans from business units including the capex budget, which is then consolidated and borrowing requirements are ascertained in terms of long term funds and short-term funds. Treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines in the form of fund based and non-fund based (LC and BG) limits.

The limits sanctioned and utilised are then monitored monthly, fortnightly and daily basis to ensure that mismatches in cash flows are taken care of, all operational and financial commitments are honoured on time and there is proper movement of funds between the banks from cashflow and interest arbitrage perspective.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company operates in the global market and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US Dollar (''USD''), Euro (''EUR''), Great Britain Pound (''GBP''), Chinese Yuan Renminbi (''RMB''), United Arab Emirates Dirham (''AED''), and Canadian Dollar (''CAD''). Exposure is largely in exports receivables and Imports payables arising out of trade in the normal course of business. As these commercial transactions are recorded in currency other than the functional currency (INR), the Company is exposed to Foreign Exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The Company is a net importer as its imports and other forex liabilities exceeds the exports. It ascertains its forex exposure and bifurcates the same into forex receivables and payables. These exposures are covered by taking appropriate forward cover from the banks.

The Company takes a forward cover based on the underlying liability for the estimated period which would be closed to the likely maturity date of the forex liability proposed to be hedged. On maturity date, the forward contracts are utilized for settlement of the underlying transactions or cancelled.

(ii) 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. In case of short term borrowings, the interest rate is fixed in a large number of cases. Hence, interest rate risk is assessed to be low. Accordingly, the sensitivity / exposure to change in interest rate is insignificant

(iii) Commodity Price risk

The Company''s revenue is exposed to market risk of price fluctuations related to the sales of its products. Market forces generally determine the prices for the products sold by the Company. This prices may be influenced by the factors such as supply, demand, production cost (including the cost of raw materials) , regional and global economic conditions and growth. Adverse changes in any of the factors may reduce the revenue that Company earns from sale of its products. The Company is therefore subject to fluctuations in prices for the purpose of raw materials like Aluminium, Copper and other raw material inputs.

Commodity hedging is used primarily as a risk management tool to secure the future cash flow in case of volatility by entering into commodity forward contracts. The Company has entered into commodity forward contracts for aluminium and Copper. Hedging the price volatility of forecast aluminium and copper purchases is in accordance with the risk management strategy outlined by the Board of Directors. Hedging commodity is based on procurement schedule and price risk. Commodity is undertaken as a risk offsetting exercise and depending upon market conditions, hedges may extend beyond the financial year.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions (i.e., notional amount and expected payment date). The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.

The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:

• Differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments

• Different indexes (and accordingly different curves) linked to the hedged risk of the hedged items and hedging instruments

• The counterparties'' credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items

• Changes to the forecasted amount of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments

The Company has cash surplus and has no capital other than equity and reserves.

The cash surpluses are currently invested in income generating debt instruments (including through mutual funds) and money market instruments depending on economic conditions in line with the guidelines set out by the Management. Safety of capital is of prime importance to ensure availability of capital for operations. Further the objective of the Company''s capital management is to safeguard its ability to continue as going concern, maintain strong credit rating, preserve cash and to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and maximize shareholder value.

The Company does not have any borrowings and does not borrow funds unless circumstances require. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

b. Commitments

i. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed in capital account (net of capital advances) is Rs 755.58 lakhs (March 31, 2023, Rs 2876.60 lakhs).

The contract assets and contract liabilities balances mentioned above pertain to the B2B sub-segment Lighting Solutions Unit of the Company. The Company executes the work as per the terms and agreements mentioned in the contracts. The Company receives payments from the customers based on the milestone achievement and billing schedule as established in the contracts.

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from supply of materials and erection services provided when the performance obligation is met. Upon achievement and acceptance of milestones mentioned by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.

Contract liabilities are relates to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and billing in excess of contract revenue recognised. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company satisfies the performance obligation under the contract.

(iii) Performance obligations

Information about the Company''s performance obligations under Consumer Products & Lighting Solutions segment are summarised below:

Consumer Product and B2C sub-segment of Lighting Solutions Segment:

a) Delivery of goods:

The Company sells fans, appliances and lighting products to the customers. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognised on dispatch of the goods to the customers. The stand alone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable consideration and right to return. The contracts do not have a significant financing component. The Company offers standard warranty on selected products. The Company makes provision for same as per the principles laid down under Ind AS 37. The payment is generally due within 30 to 60 days across various streams of customers.

b) Loyalty program:

The Company operates a customer loyalty program (for retailers), where the customer is awarded certain points on purchase of selected products from the Company. The customer (retailer) can redeem these points in future. The Company treats the redemption of customer loyalty points as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the revenue is recognised by allocating the total transaction price on the stand alone selling prices of sale of goods and loyalty points.

c) Extended warranties:

The Company provides a warranty beyond fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. These service-type warranties are bundled together with the sale of products. Contracts for bundled sales of products and a service-type warranty comprise two performance obligations because the product and service-type warranty are both sold on a stand-alone basis and are distinct within the context of contract. Using the relative stand-alone selling price method, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and recognised as deferred revenue. Revenue for service-type warranties is recognised over the period in which the service is provided based on the time elapsed.

B2B sub-segment of Lighting Solutions:

The performance obligations is the supply of materials and erection services. The supply of materials and erection services are promised goods and services which are not individually distinct. Hence both of them are counted as a single performance obligation under the contract. The satisfaction of this performance obligation happens over time, as the performance or enhancement of the obligation is controlled by the customer. Also, the performance of the obligation creates an asset without any alternative use to the customer. The Company uses the input method to determine the progress of the satisfaction of the performance obligation and accordingly recognises revenue.

The standalone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable consideration and significant financing component ."

The Company for the consumer products segment, generally takes godowns on lease to store the goods at various locations. These godowns generally have a term of 1 year to 3 years. There are few godowns with a longer lease period of 5 years or more also. Further, the Company has few guest houses, residential premises and office premises also on leases which generally for a longer period ranging from 2-5 years.

The Company''s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor''s title to the leased assets. Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases for which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets, on the commencement of the lease. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The leases which the Company enters, does not have any variable payments. The lease rents are fixed in nature with gradual escalation in lease rent.

Apart from the above, the Company also has various leases which are either short term in nature or the assets which are taken on the leases are generally low value assets (e.g. printers). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Merger of Nirlep Appliances Private Limited (NAPL) into the Company

The Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, vide its order dated March 01, 2024 ("Order") [passed in the matter of Company Scheme Petition No. C.P (C.A.A)/250(MB)2023 connected with C.A. (CAA)/246(MB)2022) ("Petition") in respect of the Scheme], has inter-alia approved the Scheme of Merger by Absorption of Nirlep Appliances Private Limited ("Transferor Company") with Bajaj Electricals Limited ("Transferee Company") and their respective shareholders under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Scheme").

Accordingly, the Company had accounted for the merger under the pooling of interest method retrospectively for all periods presented as prescribed in IND AS 103 Business Combinations of entities under common control. The previous year numbers have been accordingly restated.

The Company has recorded the assets and liabilities, of the Transferor Company vested in it pursuant to this Scheme, at the carrying values as appearing in the consolidated financial statements of the Transferee Company. The identity of the reserves of the Transferor Company has been preserved and the Transferee Company has recorded the reserves of the Transferor Company in the same form and at the carrying amount as appearing in the consolidated financial statements of Transferee Company. The Impact of the merger on these standalone financial statements is as under:

Demerger of EPC segment

During the current year, Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (""NCLT"") had approved the Scheme of Arrangement between Bajaj Electricals Limited "Demerged Company") and Bajel Projects Limited ("Resulting Company") and their respective shareholders (""Scheme""). On July 5, 2023, the Company had received a certified true copy of the order dated June 8, 2023 (""Order"") passed by the Hon''ble NCLT approving the Scheme. The Company has completed the the process of obtaining the requisite consent, approval or permission of the appropriate authorities, which by applicable law or contract, agreement, were necessary for the effective transfer of business and/or implementation of the Scheme. The Scheme, has been made effective from September 1, 2023.

Accordingly, effect of the de-merger has been considered in the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024. The assets and liabilities relating to the demerged undertaking have been de-recognised from the books and have been adjusted against the retained earnings in the said standalone financial statements. For the previous year, the same has been shown as discontinued operations.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company has performed its annual impairment test and determined that there is no impairment. The recoverable amounts of the CGU''s have been determined on the basis of the value in use calculations. The calculation uses cash flow projections based on budgets approved by the management, discounting rate and terminal growth rate. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the specific CGU''s recoverable amount is based would not cause its carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

Nature and purpose of reserves Securities Premium

Securities Premium Reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares and is utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR)

The Indian Companies Act requires companies that issue debentures to create a debenture redemption reserve (DRR) from annual profits until such debentures are redeemed. Companies are required to maintain 25% as a reserve of outstanding redeemable debentures. Accordingly, the Company creates DRR at 25% in the penultimate year to the year in which the repayment obligation arises on the Company. The amounts credited to the debenture redemption reserve will not be utilised except to redeem debentures.

General Reserve

Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.

Share options outstanding account

The fair value of the equity-settled share based payment transactions is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss with corresponding credit to Employee Stock Options Outstanding Account.

Effective Portion of Cashflow Hedges

The Company uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated on borrowings. For hedging foreign currency and interest rate risk, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps, foreign currency option contracts and interest rate swaps. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges. Amounts recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges is reclassified to the statement of profit and loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Amalgamation adjustment reserve

The Company creates amalgamation adjustment reserve on account of business combination pursuant to any schemes for merger/demerger, etc.

Disclosure of defined benefit plans are as given below :

A. Gratuity :

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (Funded) for its employees, which requires contribution to be made to a separately administered fund. Company had an unfunded Gratuity Liability towards employees of erstwhile HLL Demerged Undertaking, which has been completely paid off during FY. 2021-22 on account of their VRS from the Company. During the FY. 2022-23, the company also passed a resolution to fund the liability pertaining to employees of entities joining-in under the schemes of business combinations

The description of plans ability to affect the amount, timing and uncertainty of the entity''s future cash flows

a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The scheme is managed on funded basis. Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is being made to approved gratuity fund, which fully covers the same under Cash Accumulation Policies of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Ltd. (BALIC). Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Company. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Company.

d) Asset liability matching strategies

For gratuity, the Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance company, as part of the policy terms, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset)

B. Provident Fund (Defined Benefit Plan) :

Bajaj Electricals Limited operates in two schemes for the compliance of provident fund statute - (i) Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust & Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (defined benefit plan) and (ii) RPFC Contributions for provident fund (defined contribution plan).

For exempt provident fund, the defined benefit obligation of the Company arises from the possibility that during anytime in the future, the scheme may earn insufficient investment income to meet the guaranteed interest rate declared by government / EPFO / relevant authorities as well as for fund assets shortfall as against the liabilities of the Trusts

The net defined benefit obligation as at the valuation date represents the excess of accumulated fund value (determined on actuarial basis) plus interest rate guaranteed liability over the fair value of plan assets or vice-a-versa

The company''s compliances for provident fund is governed by Employees'' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Responsibility for governance of the plans, including investment decisions and contribution schedules lies jointly with the company and the board of trustees. The board of trustees are composed of representatives of the company and plan participants in accordance with the plan''s regulations

The present value of obligation of Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust represents the aggregate of accumulated fund value of H 19,574.05 lakhs (As on March 31, 2022 - H 17,391.82 lakhs) and interest rate guarantee H 305.92 lakhs (As on March 31, 2022 - H 320.92 lakhs). Of the above, the interest rate guarantee is recognised as provision in the Company''s books, while the accumulated fund value is recognised by the Trust. The interest rate guarantee so recognised in the Company''s books is considered as non-current liability.

Since interest rate guarantee is already accounted in BEL''s books, the liability of H 19,574.05 lakhs which is Accumulated Fund Value of H 122.23 lakhs in excess of Fair Value of Plan Assets of H 19,451.82 lakhs is accounted by BEL as payable to Trust on shortfall of plan assets. During the financial year 2021-22, out of the liability which had arisen mainly on account of negative return on plan assets contributed by negative return on Trust''s investment in IL&FS as well as DHFL in past years; the partial recovery in the form of fresh debt security units and cash has happened from DHFL and the differential value is funded by BEL to the Trust. BEL has also recorded full liability towards IL&FS which is to be paid by BEL to the Trust to the extent of unrecovered balances from IL&FS

Bajaj Electricals Limited can offset an asset relating to one plan against a liability relating to another plan when, and only when, Bajaj Electricals Limited has a legally enforceable right to use a surplus in one plan to settle obligations under the other plan; and intends either to settle the obligations on a net basis, or to realize the surplus in one plan and settle its obligation under the other plan simultaneously. However the two trusts namely Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (for Chakan employees) and Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (for H.O. employees) are independent trusts.

The description of plans ability to affect the amount, timing and uncertainty of the entity''s future cash flows a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The scheme is managed on funded basis. Payment for present liability of future payment of PF is made by the Company towards shortfall of Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust and Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust. The investments for the same are managed by

Trustees as per advice and recommendations of a professional consultant and in compliance of obligatory pattern of investments as per government notification in official gazette for the pattern of investment for EPF exempted establishments. Any deficit in the assets of PF Trusts is funded by the Company. The provident fund for certain employees is a defined contribution plans covered under RPFC Contributions

Assumptions:

Stock Price: Closing price on National Stock Exchange on the date of grant has been considered

Volatility: The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility, adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. The volatility is calculated considering the daily volatility of the stock prices on National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE), over a period prior to the date of grant corresponding with the expected life of the options.

Risk-free rate of return: The risk-free interest rate being considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero-coupon yield curve for Government Securities

Exercise Price: Exercise Price of each specific grant has been considered.

Time to Maturity: Time to Maturity / Expected Life of options is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live.

Expected divided yield: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for five financial years preceding the date of the grant

There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period.

Note a

In case of Bharat Innovation Fund, the fair value has been determined based on the NAV (net asset value) as per the statement issued by Bharat Innovation Fund.

Note b

The Company has given long term loans and advances to Nirlep Appliances Private Limited. The Company has determined the amount of loss allowance as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109. Based on independent valuation performed by an external valuer based on the discounted cash flow model, the Company has determined that no liability has materialised as at March 31, 2023. The valuation has been performed using the below stated significant unobservable inputs as at March 31,2023.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company''s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

A cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise of trade payables, borrowings, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the entity''s operations and to provide support for its operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and bank balances, loans and other financial assets, that derive directly from its operations.

The Company lays down appropriate policies and procedures to ensure that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the entity''s policies and risk objectives.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, which are explained in detail below:

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk encompasses the direct risk of default, the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities mainly in relation to trade and other receivables and bank deposits. Further, the Company is also exposed to credit risk arising from its loans, advances and investments of its affiliate companies.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and credit risk is managed through credit approvals and periodical monitoring of the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms.

In respect of trade receivables, the Company typically operates in two segments:

Consumer products & Lighting Solutions

The Company sells the products mainly through various channels i.e. dealers and distributors, institutions and e-commerce and through government sector. The appointment of dealers, distributors, institutions is strictly driven as per the standard operating procedures and credit policy followed by the Company. In case of government sector, the credit risk is low.

Engineering and projects

The Company undertake projects for government institutions (including local bodies) and private institutional customers. The credit concentration is more towards government institutions. These projects are normally of long term duration of two to three years. Such projects normally are regular tender business with the terms and conditions agreed as per the tender. These projects are fully funded by the government of India through Rural Electrification Corporation, Power Finance Corporation, and Asian Development Bank etc. The Company enters into such projects after careful consideration of strategy, terms of payment, past experience etc.

In case of private institutional customers, before tendering for the projects company evaluate the creditworthiness, general feedback about the customer in the market, past experience, if any with customer, and accordingly negotiates the terms and conditions with the customer.

The Company assesses its trade and other receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such trade and other receivables. In respect of trade receivables the Company has a provisioning policy that is commensurate to the expected losses. The provisioning policy is based on past experience, customer creditability, and also on the nature and specifics of business especially in the engineering and projects division. In case of engineering projects, the Company also provides on more case-to-case basis, since they are large projects in individuality.

Bank deposits

The Company maintains its cash and bank balances with credit worthy banks and financial institutions and reviews it on an on-going basis. Moreover, the interest-bearing deposits are with banks and financial institutions of reputation, good past track record and high-quality credit rating. Hence, the credit risk is assessed to be low. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31,2023 and March 31,2022 is the carrying value of such cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as shown in note 8 and 12 of the financials.

Loans, advances and investments with affiliate companies

The Company has given loans and advances to its affiliate company (Nirlep Appliances Private Limited) to meet their capex and working capital requirements. Further, the Company also has made strategic investments (equity investments) in this entity. All such loans / advances / investments and their respective terms and conditions are duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. These entities also act as a strategic source of product supply to the Company.

The exposure on these loans / advances / investments are reviewed on regular basis for their recoverability on the basis of their business plan, future profitability, cash flow projections, market value of the assets, etc. Such assessment is performed by the management through an independent external valuer based on which any expected credit losses are provided for in the books. (Refer Note 5 and 14)"

(B) Liquidity risk

he Company has a central treasury department, which is responsible for maintaining adequate liquidity in the system to fund business growth, capital expenditures, as also ensure the repayment of financial liabilities. The department obtains business plans from business units including the capex budget, which is then consolidated and borrowing requirements are ascertained in terms of long term funds and short-term funds. Considering the peculiar nature of EPC business, which is very working capital intensive, treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines in the form of fund based and non-fund based (LC and BG) limits.

The limits sanctioned and utilised are then monitored monthly, fortnightly and daily basis to ensure that mismatches in cash flows are taken care of, all operational and financial commitments are honoured on time and there is proper movement of funds between the banks from cashflow and interest arbitrage perspective.

Bank overdraft facilities are sanctioned for a period of one year which are then enhanced / renewed from time to time. Though the Bank overdrafts are repayable on demand as per the terms of sanction, these are usually renewed by all banks in normal circumstances. Hence Bank overdraft facilities are available for use throughout the year.

The Company operates in the global market and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US Dollar (‘USD''), Euro (‘EUR''), Great Britain Pound (‘GBP''), Chinese Yuan Renminbi (‘RMB''), United Arab Emirates Dirham (‘AED''), Kenyan Shillings (‘KES''), Zambian Kwacha (‘ZMW'') and Canadian Dollar (‘CAD''). Exposure is largely in exports receivables and Imports payables arising out of trade in the normal course of business. As these commercial transactions are recorded in currency other than the functional currency (INR), the Company is exposed to Foreign Exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The Company is a net importer as its imports and other forex liabilities exceeds the exports. It ascertains its forex exposure and bifurcates the same into forex receivables and payables. These exposures are covered by taking appropriate forward cover from the banks.

The Company takes a forward cover based on the underlying liability for the estimated period which would be closed to the likely maturity date of the forex liability proposed to be hedged. On maturity date, the forward contracts are utilized for settlement of the underlying transactions or cancelled.

(C) 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 risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as commodity risk.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

(ii) 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. In case of short term borrowings, the interest rate is fixed in a large number of cases. Hence, interest rate risk is assessed to be low. Accordingly, the sensitivity / exposure to change in interest rate is insignificant

(iii) Commodity Price risk

The Company''s revenue is exposed to market risk of price fluctuations related to the sales of its products. Market forces generally determine the prices for the products sold by the Company. This prices may be influenced by the factors such as supply, demand, production cost (including the cost of raw materials) , regional and global economic conditions and growth. Adverse changes in any of the factors may reduce the revenue that Company earns from sale of its products. The Company is therefore subject to fluctuations in prices for the purpose of raw materials like Aluminium, Copper and other raw material inputs.

Commodity hedging is used primarily as a risk management tool to secure the future cash flow in case of volatility by entering into commodity forward contracts. The Company has entered into commodity forward contracts for aluminium and Copper. Hedging the price volatility of forecast aluminium and copper purchases is in accordance with the risk management strategy outlined by the Board of Directors. Hedging commodity is based on procurement schedule and price risk. Commodity is undertaken as a risk offsetting exercise and depending upon market conditions, hedges may extend beyond the financial year.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions (i.e., notional amount and expected payment date). The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.

The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:

• Differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments

• Different indexes (and accordingly different curves) linked to the hedged risk of the hedged items and hedging instruments

• The counterparties'' credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items

• Changes to the forecasted amount of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments

For the purposes of Company''s capital management, Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company and all other equity reserves.

The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to safeguard its ability to continue as going concern and to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants.

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31,2023 and March 31,2022.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

Under the E-waste Rules the Company is responsible for collection and safe disposal of end of life CFL/FTL in terms of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligation set out therein. In the 57th meeting of Technical Review Committee of Central Pollution Control Board ("CPCB"), the compliances and implementation of EPR Authorisation conditions including targets under the E-waste Rules for the existing producers of CFL/ FTL were deferred till May 01, 2017. Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers Association of India (ELCOMA), on behalf of all its members, has filed the Writ Petition (C) 5461 of 2016 ("Writ Petition") in the Hon''ble Delhi High Court challenging the inclusion of ‘fluorescent and mercury containing lamps'' under E-waste Rules. The Hon''ble Delhi High Court by its order dated September 28, 2016, directed the producers of CFL/FTL, to apply for EPR Authorisation without prejudice to their rights and contentions in the said Writ Petition. Subsequently, vide a later order (dated August 5, 2019) the Hon''ble Delhi High Court directed that the said interim order (dated September 28, 2016) shall continue to be operative during the pendency of the Writ.

The Company has entered into agreements with Trans Thane Creek Waste Management Association and GATI Logistics for collection and disposal of E-waste."

x. The Company has investments, loans and advances given to Nirlep Appliances Private Limited (NAPL). Management has determined the enterprise value of NAPL based on the discounted cash flow projections for a period of 5 years. The enterprise value is greater than the value of the external debt of NAPL and considering the sensitivity around the assumptions used, the exposure in this regard is considered to be ‘possible'' and disclosed as contingent liability (Refer Note 34). There are no guarantees outstanding as on March 31,2023.

xi. These represent legal claims filed against the Company by various parties and these matters are in litigation. Management has assessed that in all these cases the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable.

xii. The Company had in earlier years terminated employment agreements of few die casting workmen at the Chakan plant. On 3rd July, 2018, the Honourable Hight Court of Bombay had awarded the appeal in favour of the Company. On 27th June, 2019, the appeal on the matter has been admitted in the Honourable Supreme Court. Management has assessed that the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable and has accordingly considered the claim of H 323.22 lakhs as contingent liability.

b. Commitments

i. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed in capital account (net of capital advances) is H 2,876.60 lakhs (March 31,2022, H 787.45 lakhs).

• increase in metal prices,

Considering the foreseeable loss on the project basis March 31,2022 rates, the Company had recorded a loss of H 2,213 lakhs in the year ended March 31,2022. During the current year, the Company has reversed the loss if H 2,034.65 lakhs towards the same project.

The contract assets and contract liabilities balances mentioned above pertain to the EPC segment of the Company. The Company executes the work as per the terms and agreements mentioned in the contracts. The Company receives payments from the customers based on the milestone achievement and billing schedule as established in the contracts.

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from supply of materials and erection services provided when the performance obligation is met. Upon achievement and acceptance of milestones mentioned by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.

Contract liabilities are relates to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and billing in excess of contract revenue recognised. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company satisfies the performance obligation under the contract.

(iii) Performance obligations

Information about the Company''s performance obligations under CP and EPC segment are summarised below:

Consumer Product and Lighting Solutions Segment:

a) Delivery of goods:

The Company sells fans, appliances and lighting products to the customers. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognised on dispatch of the goods to the customers. The stand alone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable consideration and right to return. The contracts do not have a significant financing component. The Company offers standard warranty on selected products. The Company makes provision for same as per the principles laid down under Ind AS 37. The payment is generally due within 30 to 60 days across various streams of customers.

b) Loyalty program:

The Company operates a customer loyalty program (for retailers), where the customer is awarded certain points on purchase of selected products from the Company. The customer (retailer) can redeem these points in future. The Company treats the redemption of customer loyalty points as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the revenue is recognised by allocating the total transaction price on the stand alone selling prices of sale of goods and loyalty points.

c) Extended warranties:

The Company provides a warranty beyond fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. These service-type warranties are bundled together with the sale of products. Contracts for bundled sales of products and a service-type warranty comprise two performance obligations because the product and service-type warranty are both sold on a stand-alone basis and are distinct within the context of contract. Using the relative stand-alone selling price method, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and recognised as deferred revenue. Revenue for service-type warranties is recognised over the period in which the service is provided based on the time elapsed.

Engineering, procurement and construction:

The performance obligations in EPC segment is the supply of materials and erection services. The supply of materials and erection services are promised goods and services which are not individually distinct. Hence both of them are counted as a single performance obligation under the contract. The satisfaction of this performance obligation happens over time, as the performance or enhancement of the obligation is controlled by the customer. Also, the performance of the obligation creates an asset without any alternative use to the customer. The Company uses the input method to determine the progress of the satisfaction of the performance obligation and accordingly recognises revenue.

The standalone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable consideration and significant financing component .

Note 42: Leases:

The Company for the consumer products segment, generally takes godowns on lease to store the goods at various locations. These godowns generally have a term of 1 year to 3 years. There are few godowns with a longer lease period of 5 years or more also. Similarly, the Company also takes on lease, storage places at various EPC sites to store the inventories which are used for construction. These leases are generally short term in nature, with very few contracts having a tenure of 1-2 years. Further, the Company has few guest houses, residential premises and office premises also on leases which generally for a longer period ranging from 2-5 years.

The Company''s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor''s title to the leased assets. Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases for which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets, on the commencement of the lease. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The leases which the Company enters, does not have any variable payments. The lease rents are fixed in nature with gradual escalation in lease rent.

Apart from the above, the Company also has various leases which are either short term in nature or the assets which are taken on the leases are generally low value assets (e.g. printers). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has determined leasehold lands also as, right of use assets and hence the same has been classified from property, plant and equipment to right of use assets.

Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR)

The Indian Companies Act requires companies that issue debentures to create a debenture redemption reserve (DRR) from annual profits until such debentures are redeemed. Companies are required to maintain 25% as a reserve of outstanding redeemable debentures. Accordingly, the Company creates DRR at 25% in the penultimate year to the year in which the repayment obligation arises on the Company. The amounts credited to the debenture redemption reserve will not be utilised except to redeem debentures.

General Reserve

Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable results for that year. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilised only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.

Share options outstanding account

The fair value of the equity-settled share based payment transactions is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss with corresponding credit to Employee Stock Options Outstanding Account.

Effective Portion of Cashflow Hedges

The Company uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated on borrowings. For hedging foreign currency and interest rate risk, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps, foreign currency option contracts and interest rate swaps. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges. Amounts recognised in the effective portion of cash flow hedges is reclassified to the statement of profit and loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Note e : The Company has used the borrowings from banks and financial institutions for the specific purpose for which it was taken. Further, the Company has borrowings from banks or financial institutions on the basis of security of current assets and has filed quarterly returns / statement of current assets with banks or financial institutions which are in agreement with the books of accounts.

A. Gratuity :

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India (Funded) for its employees, which requires contribution to be made to a separately administered fund. Company had an unfunded Gratuity Liability towards employees of erstwhile HLL Demerged Undertaking, which has been completely paid off during FY 2021-22 on account of their VRS from the Company

a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The scheme is managed on funded basis. Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is being made to approved gratuity fund, which fully covers the same under Cash Accumulation Policies of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Ltd. (BALIC). Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Company. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Company.

d) Asset liability matching strategies

For gratuity, the Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance company, as part of the policy terms, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset)

B. Provident Fund (Defined Benefit Plan) :

Bajaj Electricals Limited operates in two schemes for the compliance of provident fund statute - (i) Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust & Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (defined benefit plan) and (ii) RPFC Contributions for provident fund (defined contribution plan).

For exempt provident fund, the defined benefit obligation of the Company arises from the possibility that during anytime in the future, the scheme may earn insufficient investment income to meet the guaranteed interest rate declared by government / EPFO / relevant authorities as well as for fund assets shortfall as against the liabilities of the Trusts

The net defined benefit obligation as at the valuation date represents the excess of accumulated fund value (determined on actuarial basis) plus interest rate guaranteed liability over the fair value of plan assets or vice-a-versa

The company''s compliances for provident fund is governed by Employees'' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Responsibility for governance of the plans, including investment decisions and contribution schedules lies jointly with the company and the board of trustees. The board of trustees are composed of representatives of the company and plan participants in accordance with the plan''s regulations

Note 21 : Employee Benefit Obligations (Contd..)

The present value of obligation of Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust represents the aggregate of accumulated fund value of H 433.36 lakhs (As on March 31, 2021 - H 412.07 lakhs) and interest rate guarantee H 8.00 lakhs (As on March 31, 2021 - H 10.92 lakhs). Of the above, the interest rate guarantee is recognised as provision in the Company''s books, while the accumulated fund value is recognised by the Trust. The interest rate guarantee so recognised in the Company''s books is considered as non-current liability

The present value of obligation of Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust represents the aggregate of accumulated fund value of H 17,391.82 lakhs (As on March 31, 2021 - H 16,274.54 lakhs) and interest rate guarantee H 320.92 lakhs (As on March 31, 2021 - H 431.35 lakhs). Of the above, the interest rate guarantee is recognised as provision in the Company''s books, while the accumulated fund value is recognised by the Trust. The interest rate guarantee so recognised in the Company''s books is considered as non-current liability.

Since interest rate guarantee is already accounted in BEL''s books, the liability of H 163.68 lakhs which is Accumulated Fund Value of H 17,391.82 lakhs in excess of Fair Value of Plan Assets of H 17,227.94 lakhs is accounted by BEL as payable to Trust on shortfall of plan assets. During the year, out of the liability which had arisen mainly on account of negative return on plan assets contributed by negative return on Trust''s investment in IL&FS as well as DHFL in past years; the partial recovery in the form of fresh debt security units and cash has happened from DHFL and the differential value is funded by BEL to the Trust. BEL has also recorded full liability towards IL&FS which is to be paid by BEL to the Trust

Bajaj Electricals Limited can offset an asset relating to one plan against a liability relating to another plan when, and only when, Bajaj Electricals Limited has a legally enforceable right to use a surplus in one plan to settle obligations under the other plan; and intends either to settle the obligations on a net basis, or to realize the surplus in one plan and settle its obligation under the other plan simultaneously. However the two trusts namely Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (for Chakan employees) and Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust (for H.O. employees) are independent trusts. Accordingly, surplus assets of trust for Chakan employees cannot be offset against liability relating to trust for H.O. employees

The description of plans ability to affect the amount, timing and uncertainty of the entity''s future cash flows a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The scheme is managed on funded basis. Payment for present liability of future payment of PF is made by the Company towards shortfall of Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees'' Provident Fund Trust and Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees'' Provident Fund Trust. The investments for the same are managed by Trustees as per advice and recommendations of a professional consultant and in compliance of obligatory pattern of investments as per government notification in official gazette for the pattern of investment for EPF exempted establishments. Any deficit in the assets of PF Trusts is funded by the Company. The provident fund for certain employees is a defined contribution plans covered under RPFC Contributions

Assumptions:

Stock Price: Closing price on National Stock Exchange on the date of grant has been considered

Volatility: The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility, adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information. The volatility is calculated considering the daily volatility of the stock prices on National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE), over a period prior to the date of grant corresponding with the expected life of the options.

Risk-free rate of return: The risk-free interest rate being considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero-coupon yield curve for Government Securities

Exercise Price: Exercise Price of each specific grant has been considered.

Time to Maturity: Time to Maturity / Expected Life of options is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live.

Expected divided yield: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for five financial years preceding the date of the grant

Note 35: Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprise of trade payables, borrowings, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the entity''s operations and to provide support for its operations. The Company''s principal financial assets include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and bank balances, loans and other financial assets, that derive directly from its operations.

The Company lays down appropriate policies and procedures to ensure that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the entity''s policies and risk objectives.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, which are explained in detail below:

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk encompasses the direct risk of default, the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities mainly in relation to trade and other receivables and bank deposits. Further, the Company is also exposed to credit risk arising from its loans, advances and investments of its affiliate companies.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and credit risk is managed through credit approvals and periodical monitoring of the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms.

In respect of trade receivables, the Company typically operates in two segments:

Consumer products

The Company sells the consumer products mainly through various channels i.e. dealers and distributors, institutions and e-commerce and through government sector. The appointment of dealers, distributors, institutions is strictly driven as per the standard operating procedures and credit policy followed by the Company. In case of government sector, the credit risk is low.

Engineering and projects

The Company undertake projects for government institutions (including local bodies) and private institutional customers. The credit concentration is more towards government institutions. These projects are normally of long term duration of two to three years. Such projects normally are regular tender business with the terms and conditions agreed as per the tender. These projects are fully funded

i m ic j j . i manual i uiv maiia^cmciii uujcliivco anu pvuvico \v_vji i iu ../

by the government of India through Rural Electrification Corporation, Power Finance Corporation, and Asian Development Bank etc. The Company enters into such projects after careful consideration of strategy, terms of payment, past experience etc.

In case of private institutional customers, before tendering for the projects company evaluate the creditworthiness, general feedback about the customer in the market, past experience, if any with customer, and accordingly negotiates the terms and conditions with the customer.

The Company assesses its trade and other receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such trade and other receivables. In respect of trade receivables the Company has a provisioning policy that is commensurate to the expected losses. The provisioning policy is based on past experience, customer creditability, and also on the nature and specifics of business especially in the engineering and projects division. In case of engineering projects, the Company also provides on more case-to-case basis, since they are large projects in individuality.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 is the carrying value of such trade and other receivables as shown in note 6, 8 and 13 of the standalone financial statements.

Note 35: Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd..)(B) Liquidity risk

The Company has a central treasury department, which is responsible for maintaining adequate liquidity in the system to fund business growth, capital expenditures, as also ensure the repayment of financial liabilities. The department obtains business plans from business units including the capex budget, which is then consolidated and borrowing requirements are ascertained in terms of long term funds and short-term funds. Considering the peculiar nature of EPC business, which is very working capital intensive, treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines in the form of fund based and nonfund based (LC and BG) limits.

The limits sanctioned and utilised are then monitored monthly, fortnightly and daily basis to ensure that mismatches in cash flows are taken care of, all operational and financial commitments are honoured on time and there is proper movement of funds between the banks from cashflow and interest arbitrage perspective.

Bank deposits

The Company maintains its cash and bank balances with credit worthy banks and financial institutions and reviews it on an on-going basis. Moreover, the interest-bearing deposits are with banks and financial institutions of reputation, good past track record and high-quality credit rating. Hence, the credit risk is assessed to be low. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31,2022 and March 31,2021 is the carrying value of such cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as shown in note 12 of the financials.

Loans, advances and investments with affiliate companies

The Company has given loans and advances to its affiliate companies (Nirlep Appliances Pvt Ltd and Starlite Lighting Limited) to meet their capex and working capital requirements. Further, the Company also has made strategic investments (equity and preference investments) in these entities. All such loans / advances / investments and their respective terms and conditions are duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. These entities also act as a strategic source of product supply to the Company.

The exposure on these loans / advances / investments are reviewed on regular basis for their recoverability on the basis of their business plan, future profitability, cash flow projections, market value of the assets, etc. Such assessment is performed by the management through an independent external valuer based on which any expected credit losses are provided for in the books. (Refer Note 5, 10 and 14)

(C) 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 risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as commodity risk.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company operates in the global market and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US Dollar (''USD''), Euro (''EUR''), Great Britain Pound (''GBP''), Chinese Yuan Renminbi (''RMB''), United Arab Emirates Dirham (''AED''), Kenyan Shillings (''KES''), Zambian Kwacha (''ZMW'') and Canadian Dollar (''CAD''). Exposure is largely in exports receivables and Imports payables arising out of trade in the normal course of business. As these commercial transactions are recorded in currency other than the functional currency (INR), the Company is exposed to Foreign Exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The Company is a net importer as its imports and other forex liabilities exceeds the exports. It ascertains its forex exposure and bifurcates the same into forex receivables and payables. These exposures are covered by taking appropriate forward cover from the banks.

The Company takes a forward cover based on the underlying liability for the estimated period which would be closed to the likely maturity date of the forex liability proposed to be hedged. On maturity date, the forward contracts are utilized for settlement of the underlying transactions or cancelled.

(ii) 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. In case of short term borrowings, the interest rate is fixed in a large number of cases. Hence, interest rate risk is assessed to be low. Accordingly, the sensitivity / exposure to change in interest rate is insignificant

(iii) Commodity Price risk

The Company''s revenue is exposed to market risk of price fluctuations related to the sales of its products. Market forces generally determine the prices for the products sold by the Company. These prices may be influenced by the factors such as supply, demand, production cost (including the cost of raw materials) , regional and global economic conditions and growth. Adverse changes in any of the factors may reduce the revenue that Company earns from sale of its products. The Company is therefore subject to fluctuations in prices for the purpose of raw materials like Aluminium, Copper and other raw material inputs.

Commodity hedging is used primarily as a risk management tool to secure the future cash flow in case of volatility by entering into commodity forward contracts. The Company has entered into commodity forward contracts for aluminium and Copper. Hedging the price volatility of forecast aluminium and copper purchases is in accordance with the risk management strategy outlined by the Board of Directors. Hedging commodity is based on procurement schedule and price risk. Commodity is undertaken as a risk offsetting exercise and depending upon market conditions, hedges may extend beyond the financial year.

There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions (i.e., notional amount and expected payment date). The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and commodity forward contracts are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.

The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:

• Differences in the timing of the cash flows of the hedged items and the hedging instruments

• Different indexes (and accordingly different curves) linked to the hedged risk of the hedged items and hedging instruments

• The counterparties'' credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items

• Changes to the forecasted amount of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments

Note 36: Capital Management

For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders.

The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to its shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on management''s judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. Management considers the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manages the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders (buyback) or issue new shares.

The Company''s policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure. The management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders.

ix. The Company''s fluorescent and mercury containing lamps (CFL/FTL) fall within the purview of the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016 (the "E-waste Rules") which has come in force with effect from October 01,2016. Under the E-waste Rules the Company is responsible for collection and safe disposal of end of life CFL/FTL in terms of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligation set out therein. In the 57th meeting of Technical Review Committee of Central Pollution Control Board ("CPCB"), the compliances and implementation of EPR Authorisation conditions including targets under the E-waste Rules for the existing producers of CFL/ FTL were deferred till May 01, 2017. Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers Association of India (ELCOMA), on behalf of all its members, has filed the Writ Petition (C) 5461 of 2016 ("Writ Petition") in the Hon''ble Delhi High Court challenging the inclusion of ''fluorescent and mercury containing lamps'' under E-waste Rules. The Hon''ble Delhi High Court by its order dated September 28, 2016, directed the producers of CFL/FTL, to apply for EPR Authorisation without prejudice to their rights and contentions in the said Writ Petition. Subsequently, vide a later order (dated August 5, 2019) the Hon''ble Delhi High Court directed that the said interim order (dated September 28, 2016) shall continue to be operative during the pendency of the Writ.

The matter was supposed to be listed in March, 2020 but progress of the case was stalled due to lockdown as courts were only taking up extremely urgent cases through video conferences and since then no development has taken place in the matter.

The Company has been granted EPR authorization under E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 by Central Pollution Control Board for Electricals and Electronic Equipment with a collection target of 986.67 MT for FY 2019-20. The Company has entered into agreements with Trans Thane Creek Waste Management Association and GATI Logistics for collection and disposal of E-waste.

x. The Company has investments, loans and advances given to Starlite Lighting Limited (SLL) and Nirlep Appliances Private Limited (NAPL). Management has determined the enterprise value of SLL & NAPL based on the discounted cash flow projections for a period of 5 years. The enterprise value is greater than the value of the external debt of SLL & NAPL and considering the sensitivity around the assumptions used, the exposure in this regard is considered to be ''possible'' and disclosed as contingent liability (Refer Note 34).

xi. These represent legal claims filed against the Company by various parties and these matters are in litigation. Management has assessed that in all these cases the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable.

xii. The Company had in earlier years terminated employment agreements of few die casting workmen at the Chakan plant. On 3rd July, 2018, the Honourable Hight Court of Bombay had awarded the appeal in favour of the Company. On 27th June, 2019, the appeal on the matter has been admitted in the Honourable Supreme Court. Management has assessed that the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable and has accordingly considered the claim of H 307.75 lakhs as contingent liability.

b. Commitments

i. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed in capital account (net of capital advances) is H 787.45 lakhs (March 31, 2021, H 1,474.86 lakhs).

ii. The Company has entered into an agreement with Bharat Innovation Fund (Category 1 Alternative Investment Fund - Venture Capital Fund) amongst IDBI Trusteeship Services Limited (the trustee) and CIIE Advisors Private Limited (the fund manager), for a contribution of H 1,300 lakhs. As on March 31,2022, only H 418.94 Lakhs has been drawn down by Bharat Innovation Fund.

iii. During the year the Company has successfully won bidding for the Transmission line package of Ghatampur, Hapur and Indirapuram with Substation at Mohanlalganj. The cost estimated to complete the project has significant exceeded the cost expected at the time of bidding on account of

• Delay in awarding the project;

• increase in metal prices,

Considering the foreseeable loss on the project basis March 31, 2022 rates, the Company has recorded a loss of H 2,213 lakhs in the year ended March 31, 2022

The contract assets and contract liabilities balances mentioned above pertain to the EPC segment of the Company. The Company executes the work as per the terms and agreements mentioned in the contracts. The Company receives payments from the customers based on the milestone achievement and billing schedule as established in the contracts.

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from supply of materials and erection services provided when the performance obligation is met. Upon achievement and acceptance of milestones mentioned by the customer, the amounts recognised as contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables.

Contract liabilities are relates to payments received in advance of performance under the contract and billing in excess of contract revenue recognised. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company satisfies the performance obligation under the contract.

(iii) Performance obligations

Information about the Company''s performance obligations under CP and EPC segment are summarised below:

Consumer Product Segment:

a) Delivery of goods:

The Company sells fans, appliances and lighting products to the dealers and distributors. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognised on delivery of the goods to the dealer and distributor. The stand alone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable consideration and right to return. The contracts do not have a significant financing component. The Company offers standard warranty on selected products. The Company makes provision for same as per the principles laid down under Ind AS 37. The payment is generally due within 30 to 60 days across various streams of dealers and distributors.

b) Loyalty program:

The Company operates a customer loyalty program (for retailers), where the customer is awarded certain points on purchase of selected products from the Company. The customer (retailer) can redeem these points in future. The Company treats the redemption of customer loyalty points as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the revenue is recognised by allocating the total transaction price on the stand alone selling prices of sale of goods and loyalty points.

c) Extended warranties:

The Company provides a warranty beyond fixing defects that existed at the time of sale. These service-type warranties are bundled together with the sale of products. Contracts for bundled sales of products and a service-type warranty comprise two performance obligations because the product and service-type warranty are both sold on a stand-alone basis and are distinct within the context of contract. Using the relative stand-alone selling price method, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and recognised as deferred revenue. Revenue for service-type warranties is recognised over the period in which the service is provided based on the time elapsed.

Engineering, procurement and construction:

The performance obligations in EPC segment is the supply of materials and erection services. The supply of materials and erection services are promised goods and services which are not individually distinct. Hence both of them are counted as a single performance obligation under the contract. The satisfaction of this performance obligation happens over time, as the performance or enhancement of the obligation is controlled by the customer. Also, the performance of the obligation creates an asset without any alternative use to the customer. The Company uses the input method to determine the progress of the satisfaction of the performance obligation and accordingly recognises revenue.

The standalone selling price of the performance obligation is determined after taking the variable consideration and significant financing component .

Note 42: Leases:

The Company for the consumer products segment, generally takes godowns on lease to store the goods at various locations. These godowns generally have a term of 1 year to 3 years. There are few godowns with a longer lease period of 5 years or more also. Similarly, the Company also takes on lease, storage places at various EPC sites to store the inventories which are used for construction. These leases are generally short term in nature, with very few contracts having a tenure of 1-2 years. Further, the Company has few guest houses, residential premises and office premises also on leases which generally for a longer period ranging from 2-5 years.

The Company''s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor''s title to the leased assets. Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases for which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets, on the commencement of the lease. There are several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The leases which the Company enters, does not have any variable payments. The lease rents are fixed in nature with gradual escalation in lease rent.

Apart from the above, the Company also has various leases which are either short term in nature or the assets which are taken on the leases are generally low value assets (e.g. printers). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 44: Business combination on demerger of manufacturing undertaking of the Hind Lamps Limited into the Group

During the previous year, the Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench vide its order dated May 21, 2020 had approved the scheme of arrangement for demerger of the manufacturing undertaking of the Hind Lamps Limited (associate of the Company) into the Company, which has been filed with the Registrar of Companies on June 30, 2020. The Company has accounted for the demerger as a business combination under Ind AS 103 as per the Scheme and accounted for the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. Consequently, the Company has derecognised its existing 19% of the proportionate investment in the manufacturing undertaking of Hind Lamps Limited, resulting in a gain of H 1,176.12 lakhs which has been disclosed as an exceptional items in the financial statements. As per the Ind AS 103 and the Scheme, the difference of H 165.18 lakhs, between the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the consideration has been credited to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as capital reserve.

The financial statements are approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 23, 2018

1B ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

The amendments to standards that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2017 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 amending the following standard:

Issue of Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 on March 28, 2018, which has notified the following new Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers accounting standard and is applicable for accounting periods commencing on or after April 01, 2018

Ind AS 115 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition standard Ind AS 18 Revenue, Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts when it becomes effective. The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

- Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

- Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in contract

- Step 3: Determine the transaction price

- Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

- Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Under Ind AS 115, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018.

The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the same on the financial statements.

Amendments to Ind AS 112 - disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in Ind AS 112, other than those in paragraphs B10-B16, apply to an entity’s interest in a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate (or a portion of its interest in a joint venture or an associate) that is classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale.

The requirements of the amendment have no impact on the financial statements as there are no subsidiary, joint venture or an associate that has been classified as held for sale.

Amendments to Ind AS 12 Recognition of deferred Tax Assets for unrealised Losses

The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount.

Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact.

These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018. These amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the Company.

Transfers of Investment Property — Amendments to Ind AS 40

The amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. The amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A mere change in management’s intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use.

Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to changes in use that occur on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendments. An entity should reassess the classification of property held at that date and, if applicable, reclassify property to reflect the conditions that exist at that date. Retrospective application in accordance with Ind AS 8 is only permitted if it is possible without the use of hindsight.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018. The Company does not have any investment property. Accodingly there is no impact.

Ind AS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - Clarification that measuring investees at fair value through profit or loss is an investment-by-investment choice

The amendments clarify that:

- An entity that is a venture capital organisation, or other qualifying entity, may elect, at initial recognition on an investment-by-investment basis, to measure its investments in associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss.

- If an entity, that is not itself an investment entity, has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity method, elect to retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture to the investment entity associate’s or joint venture’s interests in subsidiaries. This election is made separately for each investment entity associate or joint venture, at the later of the date on which: (a) the investment entity associate or joint venture is initially recognised;

(b) the associate or joint venture becomes an investment entity; and (c) the investment entity associate or joint venture first becomes a parent.

The amendments should be applied retrospectively and are effective from April 01, 2018. These amendments are not applicable to the Company.

Appendix B to Ind AS 21 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The Appendix clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or nonmonetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

Entities may apply the Appendix requirements on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply these requirements prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in its scope that are initially recognised on or after:

(i) The beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix, or

(ii) The beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the Appendix.

The Appendix is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018. However, the Company does not expect any significant effect on its financial statements.

1C SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. The management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included below.

1 Warranty provision

The Company generally offers 1 to 2 year warranties for its consumer products. Based on the evaluation of the past warranty trends, management has estimated that warranty costs for 25% of sales arises in the year of sale itself, warranty costs for 50% of the sales in Year 1 and the balance 25% in Year 2. Based on the same, the related provision for future warranty claims has been determined. The assumptions made in relation to serviceable sales and related warranty provision estimation for the current period are consistent with those in the prior years.

2 Impairment allowance for trade receivables

The Company makes allowances for doubtful accounts receivable using a simplified approach which is a dual policy of an ageing based provision and historical / anticipated customer experience. Management believes that this simplified model closely represents the expected credit loss model to be applied on financial assets as per Ind AS 109.

3 Project revenue and costs

Revenue from construction contracts is recognised based on the stage of completion determined with reference to the actual costs incurred up to reporting date on the construction contract and the estimated cost to complete the project. The percentage-of-completion method places considerable importance on accurate estimates to the extent of progress towards completion and may involve estimates on the scope of deliveries and services required for fulfilling the contractually defined obligations. These significant estimates include total contract costs, total contract revenues, contract risks, including technical, political and regulatory risks, and other judgments. The Company re-assesses these estimates on periodic basis and makes appropriate revisions accordingly.

4 Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using appropriate valuation techniques. The inputs for these valuations are taken from observable sources where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of various inputs including liquidity risk, credit risk, volatility etc. Changes in assumptions/judgements about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer Note 34 of financial statements for the fair value disclosures.

5 Employee benefits

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment leave benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases are based on expected future inflation rates.

6 For judgements relating to contingent liabilities, refer note 40(a).

(i) Leased assets

The Company has given the following assets on operating lease to third parties, the gross block, accumulated depreciation and net book value is as mentioned below:

The Company is in the process of filing the scheme with the National Company Law Tribunal.

Transferred receivables

The carrying amount of trade receivables, include receivables which are subject to factoring arrangements and channel financing facilities. Under this arrangement the Company has transferred the relevant receivables to the factor in exchange for cash. The said facilities are with recourse to company. The Company therefore continues to recognise the transferred assets in their entirety in its balance sheet. The amount repayable under the factoring agreement is presented as unsecured borrowings / other current liabilities.

Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity analysis is determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occuring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The description of plans ability to affect the amount, timing and uncertainty of the entity’s future cash flows

a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The scheme is managed on funded basis. Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is being made to approved gratuity fund, which fully covers the same under Cash Accumulation Policies of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Ltd. (BALIC). Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Company. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Company.

b) Expected Contribution during the next annual reporting period

c) Maturity Profile of Defined Benefit Obligation

d) Asset Liability Matching Strategies

For gratuity, the Company has purchased insurance policy, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance company, as part of the policy terms, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset)

B. Provident Fund (Defined Benefit Plan) :

Bajaj Electricals Limited operates in two schemes for the compliance of provident fund statute - (i) Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees’ Provident Fund Trust & Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees’ Provident Fund Trust (defined benefit plan) and (ii) RPFC Contributions for provident fund (defined contribution plan).

For exempt provident fund, the defined benefit obligation of the Company arises from the possibility that during anytime in the future, the scheme may earn insufficient investment income to meet the gauranteed interest rate declared by government / EPFO / relevant authorities.

The net defined benefit obligation as at the valuation date represents the excess of accumlated fund value (determined on actuarial basis) plus interest rate guaranteed liability over the fair value of plan assets or vice-a-versa The benefit valued under PF obligation are summarised below:

A deterministic approach is considered to estimate the value of Interest Rate Guarantee on the Exempt Provident Fund. The per annum cost of guarantee at which Interest Rate Guarantee Liability has been valued is mentioned below

The company’s compliances for provident fund is governed by Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Responsibility for governance of the plans, including investment decisions and contribution schedules lies jointly with the company and the board of trustees. The board of trustees are composed of representatives of the company and plan participants in accordance with the plan’s regulations

The present value of obligation of provident fund of trusts represents the aggregate of accumulated fund value of Rs.1,233,622,385 (As on March 31, 2017 - Rs.1,089,833,403) and interest rate guarantee Rs.20,443,944 (As on March 31, 2017 - Rs.17,272,606). Of the above, the interest rate guarantee is recognised as provision in the Company’s books, while the accumulated fund value is recognised by the Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees’ Provident Fund Trusts. The interest rate guarantee so recognised in the Company’s books is considered as non-current liability

The description of plans ability to affect the amount, timing and uncertainty of the entity’s future cash flows

a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The scheme is managed on funded basis. Payment for present liability of future payment of PF is made by the Company towards shortfall of Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees’ Provident Fund Trust and Matchwel Electricals (India) Ltd Employees’ Provident Fund Trust. The investments for the same are managed by Trustees as per advice and recommendations of a professional consultant and in compliance of obligatory pattern of investments as per government notification in official gazette for the pattern of investment for EPF exempted establishments. Any deficit in the assets of PF Trusts is funded by the Company. The provident fund for certain employees is a defined contribution plans covered under RPFC Contributions

b) Expected Contribution during the next annual reporting period

c) Asset Liability Matching Strategies

For PF Trust Investments, the same are managed by Trustees as per advice and recommendations of a professional consultant. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, Ministry of Labour, Government of India, vide its notification in official gazette notified the pattern of investment for EPF exempted establishments, which depicts the obligatory pattern of investments of PF contributions and interests. The pattern mandates to invest as below :

The Leave Encashment Schemes, superannuation and pension schemes are managed on unfunded basis, hence Asset Liability Matching Strategies are not applicable

Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled within 60 days from the time they are contractually due.

Information as required to be furnished as per Section 22 of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (MSMED Act, 2006) is given below. This information has been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis of information available with the Company.

* Sale of products includes excise duty collected from customers of Rs.894.05 lakh (March 31, 2017 - Rs.3,654.68 lakh). Sale of goods net of excise duty is Rs.280,882.80 lakh (March 31, 2017 - Rs.287,179.82 lakh). Revenue from operations for periods upto June 30, 2017 includes excise duty. From July 01, 2017 onwards, the excise duty and most indirect taxes in India have been replaced by Goods and Service Tax (GST). The Company collects GST on behalf of the Government. Hence, GST is not included in revenue from operations. In view of the aforesaid change in indirect taxes, revenue from operations for the year ended March 31, 2018 is not comparable to March 31, 2017.

** Other operating revenue mainly comprises of scrap sales amounting to Rs.1,097.77 lakh (March 31, 2017 -Rs.725.43 lakh)

Assumptions:

Stock Price: Closing price on National Stock Exchange on the date of grant has been considered

Volatility: The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility, adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publically available information. The volatility is calculated considering the daily volatility of the stock prices on National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE), over a period prior to the date of grant corresponding with the expected life of the options.

Risk-free rate of return: The risk-free interest rate being considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero-coupon yield curve for Government Securities

Exercise Price: Exercise Price of each specific grant has been considered.

Time to Maturity: Time to Maturity / Expected Life of options is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live.

Expected divided yield: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for five financial years preceding the date of the grant

All other current financial assets and current financial liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts due to their short term nature. Further all other non-current financial assets and non-current financial liabilities have fair values that approximates to their carrying amounts as it is based on the net present value of the anticipated future cash flows.

NOTE 2 : FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of borrowings, trade and other payables, channel financing liability and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the entity’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds investments (measured at FVTPL and amortised cost) and enters into derivative transactions (other than for speculative purposes).

The risk management committee of the Company lays down appropriate policies and procedures to ensure that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the entity’s policies and risk objectives.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, which are explained in detail below :

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk encompasses the direct risk of default, the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities mainly in relation to trade and other receivables and bank deposits. Further, the Company is also exposed to credit risk arising from its loans, advances and investment in preference shares of its affiliate companies.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and credit risk is managed through credit approvals and periodical monitoring of the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms. In respect of trade receivables, the Company typically operates in two segments:

Consumer products

The company sells the consumer products mainly through three channels i.e. dealers and distributors, institutions and e-commerce and through government sector. The appointment of dealers, distributors, institutions is strictly driven as per the standard operating procedures and credit policy followed by the company. In case of government sector, the credit risk is low.

Engineering and projects

The Company undertake projects for government institutions (including local bodies) and private institutional customers. The credit concentration is more towards government institutions. These projects are normally of long term duration of two to three years. Such projects normally are regular tender business with the terms and conditions agreed as per the tender. These projects are fully funded by the government of India through Rural Electrification Corporation, Power Finance Corporation, and Asian Development Bank etc. The Company enters into such projects after careful consideration of strategy, terms of payment, past experience etc.

In case of private institutional customers, before tendering for the projects company evaluate the creditworthiness, general feedback about the customer in the market, past experience, if any with customer, and accordingly negotiates the terms and conditions with the customer.

The company assesses its trade and other receivables for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the company makes judgements as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from such trade and other receivables. In respect of trade receivables the Company has a provisioning policy that is commensurate to the expected losses. The provisioning policy is based on past experience, customer creditability, and also on the nature and specifics of business especially in the engineering and projects division. In case of engineering projects, the Company also provides on more case-to-case basis, since they are large projects in individuality.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 is the carrying value of such trade and other receivables as shown in note 5, 7 and 12 of the financials.

Bank deposits

The company maintains its cash and bank balances with credit worthy banks and financial institutions and reviews it on an on-going basis. Moreover, the interest-bearing deposits are with banks and financial institutions of reputation, good past track record and high-quality credit rating. Hence, the credit risk is assessed to be low. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 is the carrying value of such cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as shown in note 11 of the financials.

Loans, advances and investments in preference shares with affiliate companies

The Company has given loans and advances to its affiliate companies (Starlite Lighting Limited and Hind Lamps Limited). Further, the Company also has made strategic investments (equity and preference investments) in these entities. All such loans / advances / investments and their respective terms and conditions are duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. These entities also act as a strategic source of product supply to the Company.

The exposure on these loans / advances / investments are reviewed on regular basis for their recoverability on the basis of their business plan, future profitability, cash flow projections, market value of the assets, etc. Such assessment is performed by the management through an independent external valuer based on which any expected credit losses are provided for in the books.

As on the date of reporting, the Company does not have any expected credit loss on its loans / advances / investments in Hind Lamps Limited except for those provided in the books, based on the asset valuation done by the external valuer. In respect of Starlite Lighting Limited, the Company has fully impaired its exposure as at March 31, 2018 in its financial statements (Refer Note 43).

(B) Liquidity risk

The company has a central treasury department, which is responsible for maintaining adequate liquidity in the system to fund business growth, capital expenditures, as also ensure the repayment of financial liabilities. The department obtains business plans from business units including the capex budget, which is then consolidated and borrowing requirements are ascertained in terms of Long term funds and short-term funds. Considering the peculiar nature of EPC business, which is very working capital intensive, treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines in the form of fund based and non-fund based (LC and BG) limits.

The limits sanctioned and utilised are then monitored monthly, fortnightly and daily basis to ensure that mismatches in cash flows are taken care of, all operational and financial commitments are honoured on time and there is proper movement of funds between the banks from cashflow and interest arbitrage perspective.

(i) Financing arrangements

The company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period Bank overdraft facilities are sanctioned for a period of one year which are then enhanced / renewed from time to time. Though the Bank overdrafts are repayable on demand as per the terms of sanction, these are usually renewed by all banks in normal circumstances. Hence Bank overdraft facilities are available for use throughout the year.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:

(C) 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 risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as commodity risk.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The company operates in the global market and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US Dollar (‘USD’), Euro (‘EUR’), Great Britain Pound (‘GBP’), Chinese Yuan Renminbi (‘RMB’) and United Arab Emirates Dirham (‘AED’). Apart from exports receivables and Imports payables arising out of trade in the normal course of business, the company also has foreign exchange exposures in terms of buyer’s credit, packing credit, foreign currency term loans, etc. As these commercial transactions are recorded in currency other than the functional currency (‘), the company is exposed to Foreign Exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The company is a net importer as its imports and other forex liabilities exceeds the exports. It ascertains its forex exposure and bifurcates the same into forex receivables and payables. The export collections are received in EEFC account, which provides some natural hedge. Other exposures are covered by taking appropriate forward cover from the banks.

The company has a forex policy, which is duly approved by the Board of Directors. All forex hedging is done as per the said approved forex policy. The company has also taken Board approval for authorising certain company officials for entering into hedge transactions. The forex policy is flexible in terms of the hedging the overall forex exposure, as also the instrument to be used for hedging. The company takes a forward cover for the period which matches the maturity date of the forex liability which is proposed to be hedged. On maturity date, the forward contracts are utilised for settlement of the underlying transactions.

(a) Foreign currency risk exposure:

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in ‘, are as follows :

b) Sensitivity

The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financial instruments is given below

The company also has an exposure in EUR, CAD, RMB, JPY and AUD, the impact of sensitivity of which is very negligible.

(ii) 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. The Company does not have any long term borrowings except sales tax deferral loan which is interest free. Also in case of short term borrowings, the interest rate is fixed in a large number of cases and linked to the LIBOR in a few cases. Hence, interest rate risk is assessed to be low. Accordingly, the sensitivity / exposure to change in interest rate is insignificant

(iii) Price risk

I n case of the consumer product business, the company manufactures LED bulbs and Tubes and small quantity of ceiling fans. All other products are procured from the vendors. The terms of payment with vendors is on cost plus basis. Hence, the price risk is assessed to be low.

The Company is also into EPC segment, wherein it takes turnkey contracts for transmission line towers, rural electrification, high masts and poles, street lighting, etc. This exposes the Company to commodity price risk for products such as copper, aluminium, plastic, steel, zinc etc. The company has contractual right to pass the commodity price risk to the customer, hence the price risk is assessed to be low.

NOTE 3 : CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

For the purpose of capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders.

The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to its shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on management’s judgement of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. Management considers the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manages the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders (buy-back) or issue new shares.

The Company’s policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure. The management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

Total debt (total borrowings including current maturities of long term borrowings) divided by total equity (as shown in the balance sheet excluding debenture redemption reserve, capital reserve and capital redemption reserve)

note 4 : segment reporting

The Company has, pursuant to the provisions of Ind AS 108, identified its business segments as its primary reportable segments, which comprises of Consumer Products; Engineering & Projects and Others. “Consumer Products” includes Appliances, Fans and Consumer Lighting Products; “Engineering & Projects” includes Transmission Line Towers, Telecommunication Towers, High Masts, Poles, Special Projects including Rural Electrification Projects and Luminaires; and “Others” includes Wind Energy.

The operating segment results includes depreciation and amortisation of Rs.1,551.16 lakh (March 31, 2017 -Rs.1,557.54 lakh) for consumer products, Rs.1,676.25 lakh (March 31, 2017 - Rs.1,391.33 lakh) for EPC and Rs.38.26 lakh (March 31, 2017 - Rs.72.02 lakh) for others.

1) Segment Assets :

Segment assets are measured on the same principles as they have been for the purpose of these financial statements. These assets are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.

The capital expenditure incurred for consumer products is Rs.330.34 lakh (March 31, 2017 - Rs.355.79 lakh), for EPC is Rs.1,103.64 lakh (March 31, 2017 - Rs.1,347.04 lakh) and for others is Rs.2,659.22 lakh (March 31, 2017 - Rs.5,507.32 lakh).

2) Segment Liabilities :

Segment liabilities are measured on the same principles as they have been for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s borrowings and derivative financial instruments are not considered to be segment liabilities but are managed by the treasury function.

* Outstanding balance Is net of impairment allowance created in the books.

# As the future liability for defined benefit obligations and other long term employment benefits is provided on an actuarial basis for the Company as a whole, the amounts pertaining to key managerial personnel is not ascertainable and hence not included above.

** Transactions with related parties have been made on an arm length basis and are in the ordinary course of the business of the Company. All outstanding balances are unsecured and are repayable in cash.

viii. The Company’s fluorescent and mercury containing lamps (CFL/FTL) fall within the purview of the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016 (the “E-waste Rules”) which has come in force with effect from October 01, 2016. Under the E-waste Rules the Company is responsible for collection and safe disposal of end-of life CFL/FTL in terms of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligation set out therein. In the 57^th meeting of Technical Review Committee of Central Pollution Control Board (“CPCB”), the compliances and implementation of EPR Authorisation conditions including targets under the E-waste Rules for the existing producers of CFL/ FTL were deferred till May 01, 2017.

Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers Association of India (ELCOMA), on behalf of all its members, has filed the Writ Petition (C) 5461 of 2016 (“Writ Petition”) in the Hon’ble Delhi High Court challenging the inclusion of ‘fluorescent and mercury containing lamps’ under E-waste Rules. The Hon’ble Delhi High Court by its order dated September 28, 2016, directed the producers of CFL/FTL, to apply for EPR Authorisation without prejudice to their rights and contention in the said Writ Petition and the Company has accordingly submitted its application for the EPR Authorisation to CPCB.

However, in view of pendency of the Writ Petition, the financial obligations which may arise in the event of the Hon’ble High Court passing adverse order against ELCOMA and its member, is unascertainable at this point of time and hence the same is disclosed as contingent liability.

ix. The Company has given guarantees / letter of comfort for all borrowings (long term / short term) taken by its joint venture, Starlite Lighting Limited (SLL). As at March 31, 2018, SLL is in breach of its loan covenants as per the terms of the loan agreements, resulting in the loans becoming payable on demand. However, as at the date of approval of these financial statements, the lenders of SLL have not called for the loan repayment. Further, the management of the Company has obtained loan covenant waiver from the lenders of SLL. Accordingly, the exposure in this regard is considered to be ‘possible’ and disclosed as contingent liability.

x. These represent legal claims filed against the Company by various parties and these matters are in litigation. Management has assessed that in all these cases the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable.

b. Commitments

i. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed in capital account (net of capital advances) is Rs.501.95 lakh (March 31, 2017, Rs.562.35 lakh).

c. Leases

NOTE 5 : EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS:

Pursuant to continuous reduction in the CFL business and future outlook, Company has re-assessed the recoverability of its investments and loans provided to Starlite Lighting Limited (Joint Venture) and consequently impaired it fully in standalone financial statements.

The details of the investments and loans and advances which are impaired are as below :

* This pertains to impairment allowance on interest income accreted during the year.

The valuation has been performed by an independent external valuer based on which the equity value (enterprise value less external debt) is negative. Accordingly, all investments and loans have been fully impaired. For assumption used in valuation refer note 34.

1A ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Amendments to Ind AS 102, Share-based Payment:

The amendment to Ind AS 102 clarifies the measurement basis for cash-settled share-based payments and the accounting for modifications that change an award from cash-settled to equity-settled. It also introduces an exception to the principles in Ind AS 102 that will require an award to be treated as if it was wholly equity-settled, where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee’s tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority.

The amendment is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2017 and early adoption of the same is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and the impact on the financial statements is being evaluated.

Amendments to Ind AS 7, Cash Flow Statements:

The amendment to Ind AS 7 introduces an additional disclosure that will enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. This includes changes arising from:

- Cash flows, such as drawdowns and repayments of borrowings; and

- Non-cash changes (i.e. changes in fair values), changes resulting from acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries/businesses and the effect offoreign exchange differences.

The amendment to Ind AS 7 does not prescribe any specific disclosure format. However, it suggests that a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities would meet the disclosure requirement. Where a reconciliation is used, the disclosure should provide sufficient information to link items included in the reconciliation to the balance sheet and statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2017 and early adoption of the same is not permitted. The said amendment will not have any impact on the Company’s cash flow, since the amendment requires only additional disclosures.

1B SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ESTIMATES & JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. The management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included below.

1 Share based payment

The Company operates a number of equity settled, employee share based compensation plans, under which the Company receives services from employees as consideration for equity shares of the Company. The Company has granted stock options to its employees under the Growth Plan as well as Loyalty Plan.

The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is determined by reference to the grant date fair value of the options granted. The estimate also includes a forfeiture rate. At the end of each year, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates. Such assumptions and judgments may change in the future thereby causing a material adjustment to such expense in profit and loss account.

2 Warranty expenses provision

The Company generally offers 1 to 2 year warranties for its consumer products. Management estimates the related provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information, as well as recent trends that might suggest that past cost information may differ from future claims. The assumptions made in relation to the current period are consistent with those in the prior years. Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the success of the Company’s productivity and quality initiatives. Such assumptions and judgments may change in the future thereby causing a material adjustment to such expense in profit and loss account and carrying value of warranty provision in the balance sheet.

3 Provision for trade receivables

The Company makes allowances for doubtful accounts receivable using simplified approach. Significant judgment is used to estimate doubtful accounts. In estimating doubtful accounts historical and anticipated customer performance are considered. Changes in the economy, industry, or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in the financial statements.

4 Deferred taxes

The company recognizes that net future tax benefit related to deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is probable that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Assessing the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the company to make significant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, which may have a scope of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts ofassets and liabilities.

5 Revenue from construction contracts

a Recognition of revenue

Revenue from construction contracts is recognized based on the stage of completion determined with reference to the costs incurred on construction contracts and their estimated total costs. The determination of stage of completion requires the Company to estimate the costs incurred till date as a proportion of total costs for the construction contract and such determination of stage of completion involves critical judgment of cost incurred which is attributable to the portion of work completed.

b Provision for foreseeable loss on construction contracts

The company recognizes in full all foreseeable losses which may arise on account of the construction contract immediately in the books of account which goes well with the basic accounting principle of prudence. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected losses are recognized as an expense immediately by the company. The amount of such a loss is determined irrespective of whether work has commenced on the contract; the stage of completion of contract activity; or the amount of profits expected to arise on other contracts which are not treated as a single construction contract.

In doing so, the management estimates various aspects like analysis of the total contract revenue, estimated total contract costs on a contract-by-contract basis, analysis of the cumulative progress billings, cumulative total actual costs incurred, contractually agreed timeline set out in the contracts to identify any major delays and/ or cost overruns which might result in profitable contracts becoming loss-making, expected penalty and liquidated damages estimate etc.

Such assumptions and judgments may change in the future thereby causing, either an improvement, whether material or not, to the margin and profitability or recognizing further losses in addition to recognized earlier, in respect of the said construction contracts which were earlier tested for recognition of foreseeable losses.

6 Provision for sales incentive schemes

The Company records provision for sales incentives as a reduction of revenue in its financial statements. The Company offers on-going trade promotion programmes with customers, distribution tie up programmes, festive schemes, retailer bonding schemes, etc. that require the Company to estimate and accrue the expected costs of such programmes.

Estimated sales incentives are calculated and recorded at the time related sales are made and are based primarily on historical rates and consideration of recent promotional activities. The determination of sales incentive liabilities requires the Company to use judgment for estimates that include current and past trade-promotion spending patterns, status of trade-promotional activities and the interpretation of historical spending trends by customer and category. BEL reviews the assumptions and adjust the sales incentives provision at each reporting dates. Our financial statements could be materially impacted if the actual promotion rates fluctuate from the estimated rate.

7 Impairment of investment in joint venture

The Company has invested in its joint venture, Starlite Lighting Limited through equity capital, preference capital and loans and advances. The JV manufactures lighting products and appliances viz CFL bulbs, LED bulbs, water heaters for the Company and also manufactures air conditioning units for Voltas Limited. It has plan to manufacture few more appliances viz Mixers, Room Coolers and LED fittings and luminaries for the Company.

To ascertain the recoverability of the investment made by the Company in the JV, the Company and the JV have jointly prepared a business plan and the impairment testing of the investment made by the Company in the JV is done on the basis of financial projections and future cash flows prepared jointly by the management of both the companies. The achievement of the business plan and the financial projections are based on some assumptions about future business scenario like demand for the products, technology changes, raw material availability, prices of inputs etc.

8 Inventories

The impairment of inventories is done on the basis of its aging, discontinuance of products/model, damage conditions of goods, obsolesce, expected salability. The value is written down at its estimated realizable value less cost to sell.

9 Fair value of financial guarantee given

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment that is due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

For assessment of the fair value of the financial guarantee given to the lenders of our JV Starlite Lighting Limited, the Company has considered the future projections of the JV basis which the loan repayments by JV are considered. Also the loan rate at which the JV would have got the borrowings facility independently is assessed by the Company on the basis of spreads in bps over FIMMDA-PDAI Gilt Curve for valuation of corporate bonds as announced by CRISIL in its monthly valuation matrix as at 31 March 2015

For the financial guarantees given, the Company may be required to make payments to banks / financial institutions only in the event of a default in accordance with the terms of the instrument that is guaranteed. Accordingly, cash shortfalls are the expected payments to reimburse the bankers I financial institutions for a credit loss that may incur less any amounts that the Company expects to receive from the JV or any other party on behalf of JV. At present, the Company has estimated no default of any loans by JV and hence there is no estimated liability by the Company on behalf of the said guarantee given.

10 Contingent liabilities

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigations and other claims against the Company. Where the potential liabilities have a low probability of crystallising or are very difficult to quantify reliably, the Company treats them as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on our financial position or profitability.

11 Non-current assets classified as held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. Upon relocation of Company’s employees to new office premises in Mumbai, the leasehold immovable property together with buildings and structure standing thereon was lying vacant. The said transaction involves the transfer of leasehold rights. The Company has made an estimate of the fair value of the leasehold right in the land, the valuation for which is based on the unobservable inputs which involves the estimation of consideration made by the management of the Company.

1C FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS

These are Bajaj Electricals Limited’s (“BEL” or “Company”) first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in this financial statements have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2015 (date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, BEL has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (“previous GAAP” or “Indian GAAP” or “IGAAP”). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected BEL’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.

Explanation 1 - Exemptions and exceptions availed

Explanation 2 - Total Comprehensive Income Reconciliation for the year ended 31 March 2016

Explanation 3 - Equity Reconciliation as at the date of transition (April 1, 2015) and as at 31 March 2016

Explanation 4 - Impact on cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2016

Explanation 1 - Exemptions and exceptions availed

Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

Ind AS Optional exemptions

- Deemed Cost

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets

Accordingly, BEL has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying values.

- Share-based payment transactions

Ind AS 102 deals with the accounting and disclosure requirements related to share-based payment transactions. Under Ind AS 101, a firsttime adopter is encouraged, but not required, to apply Ind AS 102 Share-based payment to equity instruments that vested before date of transition to Ind ASs. However, if a first-time adopter elects to apply Ind AS 102 to such equity instruments, it may do so only if the entity has disclosed publicly the fair value of those equity instruments, determined at the measurement date, as defined in Ind AS 102.

The Company operates a number of equity settled, employee share based compensation plans, under which the Company receives services from employees as consideration for equity shares of the Company. The Company has granted stock options to its employees under the Growth Plan as well as Loyalty Plan.

Accordingly, BEL has elected this optional exemption and hence Ind AS 102 Share-based payments has not been applied to equity instruments that vested before the date of transition.

- Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

When an entity prepares separate financial statements, Ind AS 27 requires it to account for its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates either at cost; or in accordance with Ind AS 109.

If a first-time adopter measures such an investment at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27, it shall measure that investment at one of the following amounts in its separate opening Ind AS Balance Sheet:

(a) cost determined in accordance with Ind AS 27; or

(b) deemed cost.

The deemed cost of such an investment shall be its:

(i) fair value at the entity’s date of transition to Ind ASs in its separate financial statements; or

(ii) previous GAAP carrying amount at that date.

A first-time adopter may choose either (i) or

(ii) above to measure its investment in each subsidiary, joint venture or associate that it elects to measure using a deemed cost.

Accordingly BEL has an investment in a joint venture Starlite Lighting Limited (“SLL”) and in an associate Hind Lamps Limited (“HLL”) which are disclosed at previous GAAP carrying amount at the date of transition

- Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Ind AS 105 requires non-current assets (or disposal groups) that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are held for distribution to owners and operations that meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued and carried at lower of its carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell on the initial date of such identification.

A first time adopter can:

(a) measure such assets or operations at the lower of carrying value and fair value less cost to sell at the date of transition to Ind ASs in accordance with Ind AS 105; and

(b) recognize directly in retained earnings any difference between that amount and the carrying amount of those assets at the date of transition to Ind ASs determined under the entity’s previous GAAP.

BEL has certain non-current assets that qualify to be classified as non-current assets held for sale under Ind AS 105. Accordingly, BEL has measured such assets at the carrying value at the date of transition to Ind AS determined under the entity’s previous GAAP. Also since the carrying value is lesser as compared to the fair value less cost to sell on the initial date of such identification, there is no impact on retained earnings.

Ind AS mandatory exceptions

- De-recoanition of financial assets and liabilities Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity’s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.

BEL has a factoring and channel financing facility for its trade receivables. Such trade receivables under the respective facilities do not meet derecognition criteria as there is a final recourse on BEL. Since BEL has the necessary information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognised as a result of past transactions, BEL has chosen to apply the same for outstanding transactions as at the transition date.

Hence such factored trade receivables are grossed up and the corresponding amount is shown as short term borrowings under current financial liabilities. In case of channel financing facility, the corresponding amount is shown as current liabilities.

- Estimates

An entity’s estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at 1 April 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP.

- Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets (investment in debt instruments) on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. Accordingly classification and measurement of financial assets have been made based on the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS

- Government loans

A company shall classify all government loans received as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with Ind AS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. A first time adopter shall apply the requirements in Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, and Ind AS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, prospectively to government loans existing at the date of transition to Ind ASs and shall not recognize the corresponding benefit of the government loan at a below-market rate of interest as a government grant. Consequently, if a first-time adopter did not, under its previous GAAP, recognize and measure a government loan at a below-market rate of interest on a basis consistent with Ind AS requirements, it shall use its previous GAAP carrying amount of the loan at the date of transition to Ind ASs as the carrying amount of the loan in the opening Ind AS Balance Sheet. An entity shall apply Ind AS 109 to the measurement of such loans after the date of transition to Ind AS.

However, an entity may apply the requirements in Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 20 retrospectively to any government loan originated before the date of transition to Ind ASs, provided that the information needed to do so had been obtained at the time of initially accounting for that loan.

The company has sales tax deferral loan at the transition date which is to be paid in installments to the state government authorities. Accordingly it has chosen to apply the requirements of Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 20 prospectively to such kind of loans.

(A) Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 increased by Rs. 331.76 lakh. There is no impact on the total equity as at 31 March 2016.

(B) Equity-settled employee share-based plan

Under the previous GAAP, the cost of equity-settled employee share-based plan was recognized using the intrinsic value method. The options are granted at closing price on the exchange where there is highest trading volume on working day prior to the date of grant, resulting in no intrinsic value. Under Ind AS, the cost of equity settled share-based plan is recognized based on the fair value of the options as at the grant date. Consequently, the amount recognized in share option outstanding account is Rs.967.80 lakh as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - Rs. 555.56 lakh). The profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 decreased by Rs.467.75 lakh. There is no impact on total equity.

(C) Financial guarantee contracts

Under the previous GAAP, financial guarantee given was disclosed as a contingent liability. Under Ind AS, financial guarantee contracts are considered as financial liabilities and are measured at initial recognition at fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at an amount initially recognized less the cumulative amount of income recognized under Ind AS. Consequently, at the transition date, a financial guarantee obligation was recognized of the value Rs.622.02 lakh and the corresponding value is added to the cost of investment in Joint Venture ‘Starlite Lighting Limited’. The profit for the year and total equity as at 31 March 2016 has increased to the extent of Rs.136.47 lakh on account of finance income on the financial guarantee obligation. Accordingly, the balance of financial guarantee obligation is Rs.485.55 lakh as at 31 March 2016.

(D) Investment in preference shares of a Starlite Lighting Limited (joint venture) and Hind Lamps Limited (associate)

The Company has investment in preference shares which are either redeemable at premium or carry a cumulative rate of interest. Under the previous GAAP, the said investments were classified as long term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period. These investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Under Ind AS, the said investments are considered as financial assets and classified as per the business model under which they are held. Thereby these investments are either classified at fair value through profit or loss or at amortized cost. The company measures preference shares of HLL and 0% Non-convertible preference shares of SLL at amortized cost and both issues of 9% non-convertible preference shares of SLL at fair value through profit or loss. These shares have been recognized at their fair value at initial recognition with a corresponding adjustment made to equity in case of SLL and to investment in equity of HLL in case of HLL. Consequently, total equity as at 1 April 2015 has increased by Rs.654.38 lakh. The interest income in respect of preference shares held at amortized cost is Rs.392.87 lakh and the fair value gain recognized is Rs.205 lakh for the year ended 31 March 2016. Accordingly, the profit for the year has increased by Rs.597.87 lakh and total equity as at 31 March 2016 has increased by Rs.1,252.25 lakh.

(E) Financing arrangements

(i) Borrowings:

Ind AS 109 requires transaction costs incurred towards origination of borrowings to be deducted from the carrying amount of borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognized in the profit or loss over the tenure of the borrowing as part of the interest expense by applying the effective interest rate method. Under previous GAAP, these transaction costs were charged to profit or loss as and when incurred. Accordingly, borrowings as at 31 March 2016 have been reduced by Rs.12.75 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.28.71 lakh) with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. The total equity increased by an equivalent amount. The profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 reduced by Rs.15.96 lakh as a result of the additional interest expense.

(ii) Fair valuation of forward contracts:

Under previous GAAP, premium on forward contracts was amortized over the life of the contract. Under Ind AS, forward contracts are measured at fair value (MTM). Accordingly, there is an increase in equity of Rs. 51.33 lakh (1 April 2015- Rs.94.65 lakh) as at 31 March 2016. The net profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 has reduced by Rs.43.33 lakh.

The derivatives asset are marked to market at each reporting date. Accordingly, there is a decrease in equity of Rs.52.11 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.96.83 lakh) as at 31 March 2016. The net profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 has increased by Rs.44.72 lakh.

(iii) Fair valuation of currency swap:

Under previous GAAP, changes in fair value of currency swap were recognized only to the extent of losses. Under Ind AS, derivative contracts are required to be measured at fair value (i.e. Marked-to-market). Accordingly, currency swaps are marked to market and a fair value gain of Rs.58.34 lakh has been recognized for the year ended 31 March 2016 and total equity has increased by that amount as at 31 March 2016.

(F) Net Impact on Profit or Loss due to discounting of Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities

(i) Warranty provision and expense

Under the previous GAAP, long term provisions were not discounted. Under Ind AS, where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision shall be the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. Accordingly, the warranty provision is recorded at its present value using an appropriate discount rate. Ind AS also provides that the discounted liability is to be increased in each period to reflect the unwinding effect of passage of time. The said increase is recognized as finance cost. Consequently, the warranty provision has decreased by Rs.229.86 lakh for the year ended 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - Rs.249.63 lakh). The total equity has increased by Rs.249.63 lakh as at 1 April 2015. The profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 has reduced to the extent of Rs.142.53 lakh as a result of the finance cost recognized and has increased to the extent Rs.122.76 lakh on account of discounted value of warranty expense for the year ended 31 March 2016. The net decrease in profit is of Rs.19.77 lakh for the year ended 31 March 2016.

(ii) Interest-free refundable security deposits

Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required at initial recognition at fair value. Accordingly, the company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognized as prepaid rent under non-current assets. Consequent to this change, the amount of security deposits decreased by Rs.193.86 lakh as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - Rs.289.86 lakh). The prepaid rent increased by Rs.173.23 lakh as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015 - Rs.271.75 lakh). Total equity decreased by Rs.20.63 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.18.11 lakh) for the year ended 31 March 2016. The profit for the year decreased by Rs.2.52 lakh due to amortization of the prepaid rent of Rs.98.52 lakh which is partially off-set by notional interest income of Rs.96 lakh.

(iii) Retention Receivable

Under the previous GAAP, contract revenue was recognized on the basis of consideration received or receivable. Under Ind AS, contract revenue should be recognized on the basis of fair value of consideration received or receivable. Where there is a significant financing component in the revenue, the fair value of the consideration would be the discounted value of revenue. The company has long term retention receivables from construction contracts. Accordingly, contract revenue has been discounted to its present value to the extent of long term retention receivables to reflect its fair value. The carrying amount of retention receivable is increased by the interest amount to reflect the passage of time. This income is recorded as finance income in the profit and loss statement. If a trade receivable is received earlier than its due date, the revenue increases to the extent of the difference between the transaction value and carrying value. Consequently, long term trade receivables have reduced by Rs.1,237.36 lakh as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015- Rs.3,239.48 lakh) and equity has increased by an equivalent amount. The revenue for the year ended 31 March 2016 has increased by Rs.363.93 lakh and the interest income has increased by Rs.1,638.19 lakh. Accordingly, the profit and total equity for the year ended 31 March 2016 has increased by Rs.2,002.12 lakh.

(iv) Retention payable

The company has long term retention payables in respect of subcontracting and erection expenses. Under previous GAAP, these amounts were recognized at the transaction value. Under Ind AS, financial liabilities are recognized at fair value at initial recognition and subsequently carried at amortized cost. Accordingly, the company has discounted its retention payable. The carrying value of retention payable will be increased by the interest expense each year to reflect the passage of time. This interest expense is recognized as finance cost. If retention payable is paid earlier than its due date, the difference between the transaction value and carrying amount is recognized as additional erection expense. Consequently, retention payable for the year ended 31 March 2016 has reduced by Rs.150.60 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.430.08 lakh) and equity has increased by an equivalent amount. The subcontracting expense for the year has increased by Rs.92.74 lakh and the interest expense recognized for the year is Rs.186.74 lakh. Accordingly, profit for the year has reduced by Rs.279.48 lakh.

(G) Other Adjustments

(i) Revaluation Reserve

Under previous GAAP, the company had revalued some items of its property, plant and equipment (buildings and premises on ownership basis) and had recognized a revaluation reserve. Under Ind AS, the company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment at their previous GAAP carrying value. Accordingly, the revaluation reserve of Rs.808.60 lakh is no longer required and has been transferred to retained earnings at the transition date. The profit has reduced by Rs.21.01 lakh for the year ended 31 March 2016 as there is no revaluation reserve to absorb the increase in depreciation due to revaluation of property, plant and equipment. There is no impact on total equity for the year ended 31 March 2016 or 1 April 2015.

(ii) Non-Current Assets held for sale

The company is intending to sell its Naperol Tower and Reay road property and has located buyers for the same. Under previous GAAP, the concept of assets held for sale does not exist. Ind AS requires noncurrent assets to be identified as held for sale if the carrying amount will recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. Ind AS 105 lays down detailed guidelines and criteria in this regard. Based on the assessment performed by the management, it has been determined that the assets and liabilities of Naperol Tower and Reay Road should be presented as held for sale under Ind AS. Consequently, the assets and liabilities of the above mentioned assets held for sale have been presented separately from the other assets and other liabilities respectively in the balance sheet and depreciation on those non-current assets has been ceased. Accordingly, depreciation of Rs. 7.05 lakh has been reversed for the year ended 31 March 2016 resulting which profit and total equity have increased by an equivalent amount. Based on above, the following assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale as at 31 March 2016:

(H) Deferred Tax

Under previous GAAP, deferred tax was accounted based on the differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Under Ind AS, entities are required to use a balance sheet approach, which is based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. Deferred tax shall also be created on various transitional adjustments. For transactions and other events recognized in profit or loss, any related tax effects are also recognized in profit or loss. For transactions and other events recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), any related tax effects are also recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively). Consequently, deferred tax assets (net) have increased by Rs.642.41 lakh with an equivalent increase in equity as at 1 April 2015. The company has recognized deferred tax liability (net) of Rs.853.95 lakh for the year ended 31 March 2016 in the profit and loss account and other comprehensive income has increased to the extent of'' 107.12 lakh on account of deferred tax asset created. Accordingly, total equity as the 31 March 2016 has reduced by Rs.104.42 lakh.

(I) Other comprehensive income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as ‘other comprehensive income’ consist of remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP. Consequently, the other comprehensive income has decreased by Rs.224.64 lakh (net of deferred tax) on account of remeasurement of defined benefit plans for the year ended 31 March 2016.

(J) Retained Earnings

Retained earnings as at 1 April 2015 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

(K) Proposed dividend

Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend of Rs. 1,819.16 lakh (inclusive of dividend distribution tax of Rs.307.73 lakh) as at 1 April 2015 included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity as at 1 April 2015 increased by an equivalent amount. The said dividend has been paid in the financial year 2015-16. There was no proposed dividend as at 31 March 2016.

Ind AS Adjustments having no effect on profit or total equity.

12. Provision for discounts and schemes:

Under previous GAAP, provision for discounts and schemes were classified as provisions. Under Ind AS, these have been netted off from trade receivables since they are considered as crystallized liability. Accordingly, trade receivables has reduced by Rs.3,541.31 lakh as at 31 March 2016 (1 April 2015- Rs.2,204.10 lakh).

Similarly cash discount under previous GAAP was considered as an expense. Under Ind AS, revenue is to be shown net of all discounts, rebates, etc. Accordingly the cash discount has been netted against sales. This has reduced the sales and expenses by Rs.3,185.26 lakh for the year ended 31 March 2016. This however has no impact on profit.

13. Excise Duty

Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented exclusive of excise duty. Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. The excise duty paid is presented on the face of the statement of profit and loss as part of expenses. This change has resulted in an increase in total revenue and total expenses for the year ended 31 March 2016 by Rs.3,640.55 lakh.

14. Commercial Paper

Under previous GAAP, the amount payable on maturity was recognized as borrowings and the difference between amount received from holders of commercial paper and amount payable on maturity was recognized as prepaid expense. Under Ind AS, borrowings are financial liabilities which are measured at amortized cost using effective interest rate. Accordingly, prepaid interest has been net off from borrowings to reflect the amortized cost and borrowings has reduced by Rs.45.43 lakh as at 1 April 2015. There is no commercial paper as at 31 March 2016.

15. Factoring and Channel Financing

The company offers its dealers and distributors a channel financing facility using which they customers can discount bills drawn on them by the company using the company’s line of credit. The interest will be borne by the company. This facility has 100% recourse to the Company. It also offers the facility of factoring. This facility is with full recourse to the company. Under previous GAAP, bills discounted and factoring were disclosed as contingent liability. Under Ind AS, trade receivables should be derecognized only if it meets the derecognition requirements of Ind AS. Accordingly, trade receivables have increased by Rs.7,215.36 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.6,440.81 lakh) with a corresponding increase in borrowings of Rs.5,082.40 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.4,604.23 lakh) in relation to factoring and an increase of Rs.2,132.96 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.1,836.58 lakh) in other financial liabilities in relation to channel financing as at 31 March 2016.

16. Acceptances

The company offers its vendors a facility using which vendors can discount bills drawn on the company using the company’s line of credit. The interest will be borne by the company. Under previous GAAP, these acceptances from vendors were classified under trade payables. However, they are in the nature of short term borrowings from the bank. Accordingly, acceptances have been reclassified to borrowings from trade payables. Accordingly, acceptances of Rs.50,118.89 lakh (1 April 2015 - Rs.57,329.76 lakh) have been reclassified to borrowings as at 31 March 2016.

17. Loan to an associate (Hind Lamps Limited)

The company has extended a loan of Rs.1,152 lakh to its associate company Hind Lamps Limited. The said loan has also been provided to the extent of Rs. 1,000 lakh and net amount was reflected under the previous GAAP under loans and advances. This loan had no repayment terms and carried a mandated rate of 6% through its term. Under Ind AS, where there are such loans which are given to subsidiary, associate or joint venture, without any repayment terms the same is considered as a capital infusion in such subsidiary, associate or joint venture. Accordingly, the loan of Rs.1,152 lakh has been added as an investment in the associate and the same has been impaired to the extent of Rs.1,000 lakh. This classification does not have any impact on equity.

Description of Risk Exposures

Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the employee benefit. The assumptions are as follows:

Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.

Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term benefit payouts. This may arise due to non availability of enough cash I cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.

Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.

Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.

Regulatory Risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in the maximum limit on gratuity of Rs. 10,00,000).

Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liability is longer compared to duration of assets, exposing the Company to market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

Asset Volatility Risk: Gratuity funds are with the Insurance Companies and those are subject to interest rate risk and the Insurance Company’s fund managers manage interest rate risk with derivatives to minimize risk to an acceptable level. A portion of the funds are invested in equity securities and in alternative investments which have low correlation with equity securities. The company intends to maintain the current investment mix in the continuing years.

For PF Trust Managed Assets, the plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. The plan asset investments are in fixed income securities with high grades. The company has a risk management strategy for PF Fund Investments where the aggregate amount of risk exposure on a portfolio level is maintained at a fixed range. Our PF funds are managed by PF trust and the investment decisions are taken by Trustees as per advice and recommendations of 2 professional consultants. Any deviations from the range are corrected by rebalancing the portfolio.

Asset Liability Matching Strategies

The Company has purchased insurance policy from renowned insurance companies, which is basically a year-on-year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The insurance company, as part of the policy rules, makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of funds under the policy). The policy, thus, mitigates the liquidity risk. However, being a cash accumulation plan, the duration of assets is shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus, the Company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in particular, the significant fall in interest rates, which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in the asset).

But insurers has ensured that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching (ALM) framework to achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans.

As far as the PF Trust Investments are concerned, the same are managed by Trustees as per advice and recommendations of 2 professional consultants. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization, Ministry of Labour, Government of India, vide its notification in official gazette notified the pattern of investment for EPF exempted establishments, which depicts the obligatory pattern of investments of PF contributions and interests. The pattern mandates to invest as below :

The Leave Encashment Schemes, superannuation and pension schemes are managed on unfunded basis, hence Asset Liability Matching Strategies are not applicable

Effect of any Amendments, Curtailments and Settlements

In connection with the closure of Kosi factory, a curtailment loss was incurred and a settlement arrangement agreed with the employees which were settled for all retirement benefit plan obligations relating to the employees of that factory. The terminated employees were not eligible for gratuity, nonetheless, they were paid an adhoc ex-gratia towards curtailment and retrenchment of their services. Likewise the terminated employees were paid off for their due Leave Balances. The terminated employees of Kosi Unit were covered under RPFC and thus Bajaj Electricals Limited had no liability towards settlement of their PF Claims

Sensitivity Analysis

The readers of the annual report should note that the sensitivity analysis presented here may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. There is no change in the method of valuation for the prior period.

* The present value of obligation of provident fund represents the aggregate of accumulated fund value of Rs. 1,089,833,403 (As on 31 March 2016 - Rs. 934,407,118, As on 1 April 2015 - Rs.798,772,150) and interest rate guarantee Rs.17,272,606 (As on 31 March 2016 - Rs. 14,162,803, As on 1 April 2015 - Rs. 11,938,286). Of the above, the interest rate guarantee is recognized as provision in the Company’s books, while the accumulated fund value is recognized by the Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees’ Provident Fund Trusts. The interest rate guarantee so recognized in the Company’s books is considered as non-current liability.

# The Fair Value of Non-Qualifying Insurance Policy (being a Reimbursement Right as is with Bajaj Allianz) is spilt in current and non current basis the expected cash flows (on undiscounted basis) over the next 1 year as forming part of maturity profile of Defined Benefit Obligation of Gratuity based on the Actuarial Valuation of Gratuity. The Fair Value of Qualifying Insurance Policy (Plan Asset’s Fair Value) is ignored for this split of Reimbursement Right into current and non-current assuming all the payouts shall be done from Non-Qualifying Insurance Policy during 1 year from the reporting date.

The payment of gratuity is required by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Responsibility for governance of the plans, including investment decisions and contribution schedules lies with the company. Though the investments for gratuity fund are managed by an insurance company, the company owns the accountability and responsibility of the fund.

For Bajaj Electricals Limited, the gratuity benefit payable to the employees of the Company is greater of the two :

(i) The provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or (ii) The Company’s gratuity scheme as described below.

The description of plans ability to affect the amount, timing and uncertainty of the entity’s future cash flows

a) Funding arrangements and Funding Policy

The scheme is managed on funded basis. Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is being made to approved gratuity fund, which fully covers the same under Cash Accumulation Policies of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Ltd. (BALIC). Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Company. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Company.

Bajaj Electricals Limited operates in two schemes for the compliance of provident fund statute - (i) Bajaj Electricals Limited Employees’ Provident Fund Trust (defined benefit plan) and (ii) RPFC Contributions for provident fund (defined contribution plan). An Exempt Provident Fund Scheme is a defined benefit plan, the accounting for which has to be done on an actuarial basis.

The net defined benefit obligation as at the valuation date thus represents the excess of accrued account value plus interest rate guaranteed liability over the fair value of plan assets.

A deterministic approach is considered to estimate the value of Interest Rate Guarantee on the Exempt Provident Fund. The per annum cost of guarantee at which Interest Rate Guarantee Liability has been valued is mentioned above.

The company’s compliances for provident fund is governed by Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Responsibility for governance of the plans, including investment decisions and contribution schedules lies jointly with the company and the board of trustees. The board of trustees are composed of representatives of the company and plan participants in accordance with the plan’s regulations.

Any deficit in the assets of PF Trust is funded by the Company. The provident fund for certain employees is a defined contribution plans covered under RPFC Contributions.

The Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (DRS) submitted by HLL to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) envisaging its revival was approved in January 2012 and according to which HLL has repaid to the Company loans of Rs. 520 lacs during the year and the loan amount of Rs. 700 lacs would be converted into Non Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares in FY 2012-13.

In terms of the Scheme approved by BIFR, HLL has sold its Kosi Unit and the proceeds received from the sale are being utilized to reduce part of its high cost debt obligations and to meet working capital requirements. Further, HLL has approached various authorities for grant of other reliefs as per the scheme approved by BIFR. With these reliefs the management of HLL is confident in executing the revival plan successfully to turn around its operations.

1. Providend Fund Liability

In case of certain employees, the Providend Fund contribution is made to a trust administered by the Company. In terms of the Guidance note issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India, the Actuary has provided a valuation of Providend Fund liability based on the assumptions listed below and determined net liability of Rs. 28.67 Lacs as at 31st March 2012, the same has been provided for in the books of accounts of the Company.

The assumptions used in determining the present value of obligation of the interest rate guarantee under deterministic approach are :- Remaining term of maturity - 6.89 years Expected Guaranteed interest rate - 8.25%

Discount rate for the remaining term to maturity of interest portfolio - 8.60%

The volatility is calculated considering the daily volatility of the stock prices on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange Limited over a period prior to the date of grant corresponding with the expected life of the options.

In respect of Options granted under the Employee Stock Options Plan, in accordance with guidelines issued by the SEBI, the accounting value of the options is accounted as deferred employee compensation, which is amortised on a straight line basis over a period between the date of grant of options and eligible dates for conversion into equity shares.

The above disclosures have been made consequent to the issue of Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in the year 2005 and applicable for the period on or after 1st April 2005.

Stock Options exercised after the Balance Sheet date rank pari passu with the equity shares as on the Balance Sheet date and hence are entitled to dividend, if exercised before the dividend is declared. Accordingly proposed dividend includes dividend on such equity shares issued and allotted up to the date these financial statements are drawn up. Dividend on subsequently allotted equity shares is accounted under "Appropriations" as 'Dividend paid on exercise of Stock Options'.

Note 4. Previous year figures

The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011 had been prepared as per the then applicable, pre-revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956. Consequent to the notification of Revised Schedule VI under the Companies Act, 1956, the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012 are prepared as per Revised Schedule VI. Accordingly, the previous year figures have also been reclassified to confirm to this year's classification. The adoption of Revised Schedule VI for previous year figures does not impact recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements.
