1 Company overview and Material Accounting Policies

1.1 Corporate Information

BLB Limited (the Company) is a listed entity incorporated in India having CIN: L67120DL1981PLC354823.

Ganj, New Delhi - 110002, India.

investment in shares, securities & commodities. The financial statements for the year ended 31st March
2025 were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 20th May 2025.

1.2 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards
(IndAS), under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments
which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') (to the extent
notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The IndAS are
prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended from time to time.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and
services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

All assets and liabilities are classified as Current and Non-Current as per company''s normal operating
cycle of 12 months which is based on the nature of business of the Company. Current Assets do not
include elements which are not expected to be realised within one year and Current Liabilities do not
include items which are due after one year, the period of one year being reckoned from the reporting
date.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is
initially adopted or are vision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting
policy hitherto in use.

1.3 Rounding off

All amounts in the financial statement and accompanying notes are presented in Lacs unless stated
otherwise.

1.4 Use of Estimates and Judgement

The preparation of financial statements requires management to exercise judgement and make
estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and
liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/materialise.

The areas involving significant estimates and judgement include determination of useful life of Property,
Plant and Equipment (Refer note 1.5), measurement of defined benefit obligations (Refer note 1.13),
recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies (Refer note 37) and recognition of
deferred tax assets/liabilities (Refer note 6).

1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated
depreciation and impairment, if any. For this purpose, cost includes deemed cost which represents the
carrying value of Property, Plant and Equipment recognised as at 1st April, 2016 measured as per the
previous GAAP.

Cost is inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses related to acquisition. In
respect of major projects involving construction, related pre-operational expenses form part of the value
of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised also include applicable borrowing costs for qualifying assets,
if any. All Upgradation / enhancements are charged off as revenue expenditure unless they bring similar
significant additional benefits.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or
retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The useful lives have been determined based on technical evaluation done by the expert''s which are in
line those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013. The residual values are not more than 5%
of the original cost of the asset. The depreciation methods, asset''s residual values and useful lives are
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance
Sheet date is classified as capital advances under Other Non-Current Assets and the cost of assets not
put to use before such date is disclosed under ''Capital work-in-progress''.

The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or
retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.

1.6 Investment Properties

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not
occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property.

Investment property is measured at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable
borrowing costs less depreciation and impairment if any.

Depreciation on building is provided over it''s useful life using the written down value method, in a manner
similar to PPE.

1.7 Leases:

The Company, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for its leasing
arrangements, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. The contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, if it involves the use of an identified asset and
the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and has right to direct
the use of the identified asset. The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise of the amount of the
initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the
commencement date plus any initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use assets is subsequently
measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and
adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the
straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-
of-use asset.

The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at
the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit
in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company
uses incremental borrowing rate. For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease
payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.8 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are
amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date
they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a
number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic
factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of
maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.

1.9 Investments

Investments are classified as Current or Non-Current based upon management intent at the time of
acquisition. Investments that are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of
acquisition are classified as Current Investments. All other investments are classified as Non-Current
Investments.

1.10 Inventories

The shares and securities acquired with the intention of trading are considered as Stock in trade and
disclosed as Current Assets.

The shares and securities are valued as per the provisions of ICDS as under:-

i) quoted shares and securities are valued at lower of aggregate cost or aggregate market price.

ii) The unquoted shares and securities are valued at lower of aggregate cost or aggregate net asset
value.

The cost is determined on First In First Out (FIFO) basis. The equity shares lend by the company are
considered as part of inventories in the financial statements. Bonus shares received free of cost on
shares held as part of stock in trade, are recorded at zero value in the books.

The management converts shares held as Stock in Trade to Investments at fair market value prevalent on
the NSE Portal as on the date of its conversion as per the provisions of section 28(via) read with
Explanation 1 to Section 2(42A)(ba) of the Income Tax Act.

accounted in the financial statements at closing rates and are shown under the head ''Liabilities on
sale of borrowed securities under SLB Segment''.

iii) the equity shares lent by the company are considered as part of inventories in the financial
statements.

1.11 Financial Instruments. Financial Assets, Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments
Recognition

Financial assets include Investments, Trade receivables, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and Cash
Equivalents. Such assets are initially recognised at transaction price when the Company becomes party
to contractual obligations. The transaction price includes transaction costs unless the asset is being fair
valued through the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Classification

Management determines the classification of an asset at initial recognition depending on the purpose for

which the assets were acquired. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on such
classification.

Financial assets are classified as those measured at:

Amortised cost

Where the financial assets are held solely for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal
and/ or interest.

Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)

Where the financial assets are held not only for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal
and interest but also from the sale of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value,
with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income.

Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Where the assets are managed in accordance with an approved investment strategy that triggers
purchase and sale decisions based on the fair value of such assets. Such assets are subsequently
measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

Measurement

Trade receivables, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and cash equivalents etc. are classified for
measurement at amortised cost while investments may fall under any of the aforesaid classes. However,
in respect of particular investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value
through profit or loss, an irrevocable election at initial recognition may be made to present subsequent
changes in fair value through other comprehensive income.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets
carried amortized cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109
Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of
the receivables.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

- The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or

- Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual
obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is
derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of
the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retained substantially all risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained
control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is
continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Income Recognition

Dividend income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive dividend is
established.

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there
is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be
contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of
default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Financial Liabilities

i) Trade Payables and Other Financial Liabilities

Trade Payables and Other Financial Liabilities are initially recognised at the value of the respective
contractual obligations. Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are
unsecured and presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the
reporting period.

ii) Borrowings

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability
that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any
non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as other
gains/(losses).

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a
breach of a material provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting
period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity
does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before
the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the
breach.

Equity Instruments

Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares
or options are shown in equity as deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

1.12 Revenue Recognition

(a) Sale of Shares & Securities

Revenue from sales is recognized at the completion of each settlement of the capital market segment of
the Stock Exchange.

In respect of non-delivery based transactions in capital market segment, the profit/loss is accounted for
at the end of each settlement.

Revenue from Shares borrowed under Securities Lending and Borrowing Scheme (SLBS)

i) the borrowed equity shares sold and repurchased during the year are considered as sales in the
financial statements.

ii) the borrowed equity shares sold but not yet purchased at the end of the financial year are valued at
closing rates and shown in the financial statements as Obligation of Borrowed Shares & Securities under
SLB Segment under the head ''Purchase of Stock-In-Trade.

Revenue from derivative market segment:¬
- in respect of settled contracts the difference between the transaction price and settlement price is
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss; and

- in respect of open interests as on the balance sheet date, the derivatives are valued at fair value, and
the difference between the fair value and the transaction price, is recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss.

Income from Dividend is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Income from
Bonus shares is recognised at the time of actual sales on FIFO basis.

(b) Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied, net
of returns, if any. Revenue from the sale of goods is net of direct taxes, etc.

(c) Other Income

Gain on Sale of Investment is recorded on transfer of title from the Company and is determined as the
difference between the sale price and carrying value of the investment.

The revenue from Interest & Other Income is recognized on accrual basis as part of Other Income in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.13 Employee Benefits

a. Short-term Obligations

Liabilities for wages, salaries and bonus, 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 respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at
the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current
employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

b. Post-Employment Obligations

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

- defined benefit plans for gratuity, and

- defined contribution plans for provident fund.

Defined Benefit Plans

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan
assets. 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. 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

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.
The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised
as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the
extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.14 Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company enters
into certain derivative contracts to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are
accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in Net Gain on Settlement of Future
Contracts (Refer Note no: 16)

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

- defined benefit plans for gratuity, and

- defined contribution plans for provident fund.

Defined Benefit Plans

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. 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. 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

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.

The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.14 Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company enters into certain derivative contracts to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in Net Gain on Settlement of Future Contracts (Refer Note no: 17)

1.15 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1.16 Borrowing Costs

Borrowings are measured at amortized cost. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

1.17 Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred tax are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, respectively.

(i) Current tax:

Current tax expenses are accounted in the same period to which the revenue and expenses relate. Provision for current income tax is made for the tax liability payable on taxable income after

considering tax allowances, deductions and exemptions determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the prevailing tax laws.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

(ii) Deferred tax :

Deferred income tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

1.18 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the management of the company. The Board of Directors assesses the financial performance and position of the Company and makes strategic decisions.

1.19 Earnings Per Share

a. Basic Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

- the profit attributable to owners of the Company

- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year

b. Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1 Company overview and Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Company Overview

BLB Limited (the company) is a public company domiciled in India and is incorporated under the provisions of Indian Companies Act. Its shares are publicly traded on the National Stock Exchange (“NSE”) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (“BSE”). The registered office of the Company is situated at SCO (shop-cum-office) No.22, Spring Field Colony Extn No.1, Near Sector 31-32, Faridabad - 121003, India.

The Company is member of NSE & BSE and engaged in the business of trading and investment in shares & securities. These financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on dated 30th May,2018.

1.2 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

These are company’s first financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 that has been prepared in accordance with Ind AS notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended by the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2016, read with Ind AS based on Schedule III, under the Companies Act, 2013.

For all periods up to and including for the year ended 31 March 2018, the company’s financial statements have been prepared complying with all material aspects of the accounting standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rule, 2014.

The Company has consistently applied the accounting policies used in the preparation of its opening Ind AS Balance Sheet at April 1, 2016 throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect and are covered by Ind AS 101 ‘‘First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards”. The transition was carried out from accounting principles generally accepted in India (‘‘Indian GAAP”) which is considered as the previous GAAP, as defined in Ind AS 101. The reconciliation of effects of the transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS is disclosed in Note no. 2.2 to these financial statements.

The Company’s financial statements provide comparative information in respect to the previous year. In addition, the company presents Balance Sheet as at the beginning of the previous year, which is the transition date to Ind AS.

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make Judgements, estimates and assumptions. Actual results could vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision effects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future years.

1.3 Critical Accounting Estimates Property. Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the Company’s assets are determined by the Management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

Fair Value Measurement and Process

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected option to measure its property and plant & machinery on fair value as at 1 April 2016 and use that fair value as the deemed cost of the property and other Equipments

The Company has setup a valuation committee to determine the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurement. In estimating the fair value of a PPE as at 1 April 2016, the Company engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The valuation committee worked closely with the qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation technique and inputs to the model.

The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Where such information is not available, the Company considers such information from current prices in an active market for properties of different nature or recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect those differences.

1.4 Property. Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. For this purpose, cost includes deemed cost which represents the carrying value of property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1st April, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP

Cost is inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses related to acquisition. In respect of major projects involving construction, related pre-operational expenses form part of the value of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised also include applicable borrowing costs for qualifying assets, if any. All Upgradation / enhancements are charged off as revenue expenditure unless they bring similar significant additional benefits.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to fair value all of its property, plant and machinery & equipment recognised as at 1 April 2016 and use that fair value as deemed cost of the property, plant and machinery & equipment (Refer note 2). The Company depreciates PPE over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Depreciation on additions/ (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from/(up to) the date on which asset is ready for use/(disposed of).The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

The useful lives have been determined based on technical evaluation done by the management’s expert which are in line those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The depreciation methods, assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under Other Non-Current Assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such date is disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’.

The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.5 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its intangible assets recognised as at 1 April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.

Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end. The estimated useful lives for intangible assets are 5 years.

1.6 Inventories

The shares and securities acquired with the intention of trading are considered as Stock in trade and disclosed as Current Assets.

The stock in trade of quoted securities is valued at the lower of cost or market price, the cost is determined on First In First Out (FIFO) basis.

The Units of open-ended Mutual Fund Schemes are valued at lower of the cost or closing NAV, the cost is determined on First In First Out (FIFO) basis.

1.7 Financial Instruments, Financial Assets, Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Recognition

Financial assets include Investments, Trade receivables, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and cash equivalents. Such assets are initially recognised at transaction price when the Company becomes party to contractual obligations. The transaction price includes transaction costs unless the asset is being fair valued through the Statement of Profit and Loss. Classification

Management determines the classification of an asset at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on such classification.

Financial assets are classified as those measured at:

(a) Amortised cost

Where the financial assets are held solely for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and/ or interest.

(b) Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)

Where the financial assets are held not only for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and interest but also from the sale of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income.

(c) Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Where the assets are managed in accordance with an approved investment strategy that triggers purchase and sale decisions based on the fair value of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

Measurement

Trade receivables, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and cash equivalents etc. are classified for measurement at amortised cost while investments may fall under any of the aforesaid classes. However, in respect of particular investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss, an irrevocable election at initial recognition may be made to present subsequent changes in fair value through other comprehensive income.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried amortized cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

Derecognition of Financial Assets A financial asset is derecognised only when

- The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or

- Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Income Recognition

Dividend income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive dividend is established. Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Financial Liabilities

i) Trade Payables and Other Financial Liabilities

Trade payables and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at the value of the respective contractual obligations. Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

ii) Borrowings

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as other gains/(losses).

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.

Equity Instruments

Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

1.8 Investment in Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost. The cost comprises price paid to acquire investment and directly attributable cost.

1.9 Revenue Recognition

(a) Sale of Goods

Revenue from sales is recognized at the completion of each settlement of the capital market segment of the Stock Exchange.

In respect of non-delivery based transactions in capital market segment, the profit/loss is accounted for at the end of each settlement.

Revenue from derivative market seament:-

- in respect of settled contracts the difference between the transaction price and settlement price is recognized in the Statement of profit and Loss and

- in respect of open interests as on the balance sheet date, the derivatives are valued at fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the transaction price , is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Income from Dividends is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

(b) Other Income

Rental income is recognised as part of Other Income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The revenue from interest & other income is recognized on accrual basis.

1.10 Employee Benefits

a. Short-term Obligations

Liabilities for wages, salaries and bonus, 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 respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

b. Post-Employment Obligations

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

- defined benefit plans for gratuity, and

- defined contribution plans for provident fund.

Defined Benefit Plans

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. 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.

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

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. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.11 Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company enters into certain derivative contracts to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in other gains/ (losses).

1.12 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the Statement of Profit and Loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

1.13 Borrowing Costs

Borrowings are measured at amortized cost. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

1.14 Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) is applicable to the Company. Credit of MAT is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as MAT credit entitlement.

1.15 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Chairman of the Company assesses the financial performance and position of the Company, and makes strategic decisions.

1.16 Earnings Per Share

a. Basic Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

- the profit attributable to owners of the Company

- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year

b. Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

- the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.17 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
