a. 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.

a.1 Ind AS optional exemptions a.1.1 Business Combinations

Ind AS 101 provides the option to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date.

The Company elected to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively to business combinations occurring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated. The Company has applied same exemption for investment in associate.

a.1.2 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 recognised 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. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Asset.

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

a.1.3 Designation of previously recognised financial instruments

Ind AS 101 allows an entity to designate investments in equity instruments at FVOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS.

The Company has elected to apply this exemption for its investment in equity instruments. a.1.4 Measurement of Investment in Joint Venture

Ind AS 101 allows a first time adopter to measure investment in joint venture at cost determined in accordance with Ind AS 27 or at deemed cost i.e. fair value of such investments at the entity''s date of transition or previous GAAP carrying amount at the date of transitions.

Accordingly, the Company has adopted previous GAAP carrying amount of investment in joint venture at cost. The Company has elected to apply this exemption for its investment in joint venture.

a.2 Ind AS mandatory exceptions a.2.1 Estimates

An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS 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 1st April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:

i. Investment in equity instruments carried at FVOCI; ii. Investment in debt instruments carried at FVPL; and iii. Biological asset measured at fair value less cost to sell. a.2.2 Classification and measurement of financial assets

f. Notes to first-time Adoption

Note i: Fair valuation of Investments

Under the Indian GAAP, investments in equity instruments and mutual funds were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and readability. Long-term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments (other than equity instruments designated as at FVOCI) have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ended 31st March 2017.

Fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments designated as at FVOCI have been recognised in FVOCI - Equity investments reserve as at the date of transition and subsequently in the other comprehensive income for the year ended 31st March 2017.

Note ii: Inventories

Finished Goods : Under previous GAAP, tea stock has been valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprise all costs of purchase/production of green leaf, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Under Ind AS, cost of inventories comprise cost of purchase of green leaf, fair value of green leaf at the time of harvest less cost to sell, conversion cost (i.e 40 % of factory cost) and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Note iii: Biological Assets (i.e. unplucked leaf on tea bushes)

Under previous GAAP, biological assets i.e. unplucked leaf on tea bushes has neither been valued nor recognised in the financial statements. Under Ind AS, unplucked leaf on tea bushes has been measured at its fair value less cost to sell.

Note iv: Expected Credit Loss Model

Ind-AS 109 requires to recognize loss allowances on trade receivable and other financial assets of the Company, at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss or the 12 month expected credit loss based on the increase in the credit risk.

Note v: Deferred Revenue

Under Indian GAAP, grants received from government agencies against specific fixed assets (Property, Plant and Equipment) are adjusted to the cost of the assets. Under IND AS the same has been presented as deferred revenue being amortised in the statement of profit & loss on a systematic basis.

Note vi: Deferred Tax

Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP. In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity.

Note vii: Re-Classifications

The Company has done the following rectifications as per the requirements of Ind-AS:

a. Assets / liabilities which do not meet the definition of financial asset / financial liability have been reclassified to other asset/ liability.

b. Remeasurement gain/loss on long term employee defined benefit plans are re-classified from statement of profit and loss to OCI.

Note viii: Other Comprehensive Income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognised 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 recognised in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as ''other comprehensive income'' includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans and fair value gains or (losses) on FVOCI equity instruments. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.

52. Previous GAAP figures have been reclassified/regrouped to confirm the presentation requirements under IND AS and the requirements laid down in Division-ll of the Schedule-Ill of the Companies Act, 2013.
