Notes to Accounts of Kajaria Ceramics Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

o. Provisions, contingent liabilities and
contingent assets

Provisions are recognised when the Company
has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past events and it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are discounted using
a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:

• a present obligation arising from past
events, when it is not probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation;

• a present obligation arising from

past events, when no reliable

estimate is possible

Provisions, contingent liabilities and

contingent assets are reviewed at each
balance sheet date.

p. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per equity share is
calculated by dividing the net profit for the
year attributable to equity shareholders by
weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, the net profit for the
year attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average numbers of shares
outstanding during the year are adjusted for
the effects of all dilutive potential equity share

q. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance
sheet comprise cash at banks, on hand and
short-term deposits with an original maturity
of three months or less, which are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and short-term deposits, as defined above.

r. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that
gives rise to a financial asset of one entity
and a financial liability or equity instrument
of another entity.

a) Financial assets
Classification

The Company classifies financial
assets as subsequently measured at
amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income or fair value
through profit or loss on the basis of
its business model for managing the
financial assets and the contractual
cash flows characteristics of the
financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised
initially at fair value plus, in the case of
financial assets not recorded at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs
that are attributable to the acquisition
of the financial asset. However, Trade
Receivables that does not contain a
significant financial component are
measured at transaction price.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent
measurement financial assets are
classified in below categories:

• Financial assets carried at
amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently
measured at amortised cost if it is
held within a business model whose
objective is to hold the asset in order
to collect contractual cash flows and
the contractual terms of the financial
asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.

• Financial assets at fair value through
other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently
measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income if it
is held within a business model
whose objective is achieved by both
collecting contractual cash flows
and selling financial assets and the
contractual terms of the financial
asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding. The Company
has made an irrevocable election for

its investments which are classified
as equity instruments to present the
subsequent changes in fair value in
other comprehensive income based
on its business model.

• Financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified
in any of the above categories are
subsequently fair valued through
profit or loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset is primarily
derecognised when the rights to
receive cash flows from the asset
have expired or the Company has
transferred its rights to receive cash
flows from the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses impairment
based on expected credit losses
(ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss, the
calculation of which is based on
historical data, on the financial assets
that are trade receivables or contract
revenue receivables and all lease
receivables.

b) Financial liabilities
Classification

The Company classifies all financial
liabilities as subsequently measured
at amortised cost, except for financial
liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss. Such liabilities, including
derivatives that are liabilities, shall be
subsequently measured at fair value.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognised

initially at fair value and, in the case of
loans and borrowings and payables,
net of directly attributable transaction
costs. The Company''s financial liabilities
include trade and other payables,
loans and borrowings including bank
overdrafts, and derivative financial
instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities
depends on their classification, as
described below:

• Financial liabilities at

amortised cost

After initial recognition, interest¬
bearing loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the Effective Interest Rate
(EIR) method. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the
liabilities are derecognised as well as
through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount or
premium on acquisition and fees or
costs that are an integral part of the
EIR. The EIR amortisation is included
as finance costs in the statement of
profit and loss.

• Financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss include financial
liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial
recognition as at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial liabilities
are classified as held for trading if
they are incurred for the purpose of
repurchasing in the near term. This
category also includes derivative

financial instruments entered
into by the Company that are not
designated as hedging instruments
in hedge relationships as defined by
Ind AS 109. Separated embedded
derivatives are also classified as held
for trading unless they are designated
as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held
for trading are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognised
when the obligation under the liability
is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is
replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing
liability are substantially modified,
such an exchange or modification is
treated as the derecognition of the
original liability and the recognition
of a new liability. The difference in
the respective carrying amounts
is recognised in the statement of
profit and loss.

c) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities
are offset and the net amount is
reported in the balance sheet if there
is a currently enforceable legal right to
offset the recognised amounts and there
is an intention to settle on a net basis, to
realize the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously

d) Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial
instruments, such as forward currency
contracts, interest rate swaps, full
currency swaps and forward commodity

contracts, to hedge its foreign currency
risks, interest rate risks and commodity
price risks, respectively. Such derivative
financial instruments are initially
recognised at fair value on the date on
which a derivative contract is entered
into and are subsequently remeasured
at fair value. Derivatives are carried as
financial assets when the fair value is
positive and as financial liabilities when
the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes
in the fair value of derivatives are taken
directly to statement of profit and loss.

s. Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company
assesses whether there is any indication
based on internal/external factors, that an
asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset
or the cash generating unit is estimated. If
such recoverable amount of the asset or cash
generating unit to which the asset belongs is
less than its carrying amount. The carrying
amount is reduced to its recoverable amount
and the reduction is treated as an impairment
loss and is recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. If, at the reporting date there
is an indication that a previously assessed
impairment loss no longer exists, the
recoverable amount is reassessed and the
asset is reflected at the recoverable amount.
Impairment losses previously recognised
are accordingly reversed in the statement of
profit and loss.

t. Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments
such as derivatives and certain investments,
at fair value at each balance sheet date.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value
is measured or disclosed in the financial

statements are categorized within the fair
value hierarchy, described as follows, based
on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market
prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which
the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable

• For assets and liabilities that are recognised
in the balance sheet on a recurring basis, the
Company determines whether transfers have
occurred between levels in the hierarchy by
re-assessing categorization (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole) at the end of
each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the
Company has determined classes of assets
and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or
liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy
as explained above.

D. Significant accounting judgements, estimates
and assumptions

The preparation of the Company''s financial
statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets
and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures,
and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. Estimates
and assumptions are continuously evaluated
and are based on management''s experience
and other factors, including expectations of

future events that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require a material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in
future periods.

In particular, the Company has identified the
following areas where significant judgements,
estimates and assumptions are required. Further
information on each of these areas and how
they impact the various accounting policies are
described below and also in the relevant notes to
the financial statements. Changes in estimates are
accounted for prospectively.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Company''s
accounting policies, management has made
the following judgements, which have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements:

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary
course of business in relation to claims against
the Company, including legal, contractor,
land access and other claims. By their nature,
contingencies will be resolved only when one or
more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur.
The assessment of the existence, and potential
quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the
exercise of significant judgments and the use of
estimates regarding the outcome of future events.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and
other key sources of estimation uncertainty at
the reporting date that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year, are described below. The
Company based its assumptions and estimates
on parameters available when the standalone
financial statements were prepared. Existing

circumstances and assumptions about future
developments, however, may change due to
market change or circumstances arising beyond
the control of the Company. Such changes are
reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(a) 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 CGU''s fair value less costs of
disposal and its value in use. It is determined
for an individual asset, unless the asset does
not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets or
groups of assets. Where 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 subsidiaries
or other available fair value indicators.

(b) Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other
post-employment benefits and the present
value of such 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, mortality
rates and future pension increases. 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.

(c) Useful lives of depreciable/
amortisable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the
useful lives of depreciable/amortisable
assets at each reporting date, based on the
expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties
in these estimates relate to technical and
economic obsolescence that may change
the utility of assets.

(d) 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 valuation techniques
including the DCF model. The inputs to
these models are taken from observable
markets where possible, but where this is not
feasible, a degree of judgment is required in
establishing fair values. Judgements include
considerations of inputs such as liquidity
risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in
assumptions about these factors could affect
the reported fair value of financial instruments.

(e) Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial
assets are based on assumptions about
risk of default and expected loss rates. The
Company uses judgments in making these
assumptions and selecting the inputs to the
impairment calculation, based on Company''s
past history, existing market conditions as
well as forward looking estimates at the end
of each reporting period.

(f) Estimation of current tax and
deferred tax

Management judgement is required for the
calculation of provision of income- taxes
and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The
Company reviews at each balance sheet
date the carrying amount of deferred tax
assets. The factors used in estimates may
differ from actual outcome which could lead
to adjustment to the amounts reported in
these financial statements.

(g) Right-of-use assets and lease liability

The Company has exercised judgement
in determining the lease term as the no
cancellable term of the lease, together with
the impact of options to extend or terminate
the lease if it is reasonably certain to be
exercised. Where the rate implicit in the
lease is not readily available, an incremental
borrowing rate is applied. This incremental
borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest
that the lessee would have to pay to borrow
over a similar term, with a similar security,
the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a
similar nature and value to the right-of-use

asset in a similar economic environment.
Determination of the incremental borrowing
rate requires estimation.

(h) Share based payment transactions

The fair value of employee stock options is
measured using the Black-Scholes model.
Measurement inputs include share price on
grant date, exercise price of the instrument,
expected volatility (based on weighted
average historical volatility), expected life of
the instrument (based on expected exercise
behaviour), expected dividends, and the
risk free interest rate (based on government
bonds). The details of variables used are
given in note 43.

E. Recent pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies
new standards or amendments to the
existing standards under Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules as issued
from time to time. For the year ended 31
March 2025, MCA has not notified any new
standards or amendments to the existing
standards applicable to the Company.

C. Terms/rights attached to equity shares

The Company has only one class of equity share having face value of B 1 per share. The holder of the equity
shares is entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time. The dividend proposed by the Board of
Directors is subject to approval of the shareholders in ensuing annual general meeting. The holder of share is
entitled to voting rights proportionate to their share holding.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive assets of
the Company remaining after settlement of all liabilities. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of
equity shares held by the shareholders.

The interim dividend for B 5 per share (previous year B 6 per share) has been distributed to the shareholders
on approval of Board of Directors. During the year, the final dividend for B 6 per share (previous year B 3 per
share) has been distributed to the shareholders of the Company.

D. Shares reserved for issue under options

Information relating to Kajaria Ceramics Employee Stock Option Plan, 2015, including details of options
issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and options outstanding at the end of the reporting
period, is set out in note 43.

F. Details of shares issued pursuant to contract without payment being received in cash, allotted as fully
paid up by way of bonus shares and brought back during the last 5 years for each class of shares

The Company has issued equity shares aggregating 334,290 (up to 31 March 2024 : 320,300) shares of
B 1 each fully paid during the financial years 2018-2019 to 2022-23 (2017-18 to 2021-22) on exercise of
option granted under the employee stock option plan wherein part consideration was received in form of
employee service.

Nil equity shares (31 March 2024: Nil) bought back pursuant to section 68, 69 and 70 of the Companies Act, 2013
The Company has issued Nil equity shares (31 March 2024 : Nil) as fully paid up bonus shares for which
entire consideration not received in cash.

Nature and purpose of reserves -

a) General reserve

General reserve is created from time to time by way of transfer of profits from retained earnings for
appropriation purposes. General reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to
another and is not an item of other comprehensive income.

b) Securities premium

This reserve is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve will be utilised in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

c) Capital redemption reserve

This reserve was created on redemption of preference shares in the financial year 2001-02. The reserve
will be utilised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

d) Share options outstanding account

The reserve is used to recognise the grant date fair value of the options issued to employees under
Kajaria Ceramics Employee Stock Option Plan, 2015.

e) Capital reserve

The reserve was created on Scheme of Arrangement (the Scheme) between the Company and erstwhile
Kajaria Securities Private Limited (''KSPL'') in financial year 2017-18 and erstwhile Kajaria Tiles Private
Limited (''KTPL'') in the financial year 2021-22.

f) Retained earnings

Created from profit/loss of the Company, as adjusted for distributions to owners in the form of dividend
and transfer to other reserve.

36 Employee benefits

The Company has following post-employment benefit plans:

A) Defined contribution plan

Retirement benefits in the form of provident fund, superannuation fund and national pension scheme are
defined contribution schemes. Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the
provident fund.

The Company''s contribution to the provident fund is B11.59 crores (31 March 2024: B10.48 crores)

B) Defined benefit plans - Gratuity (funded)

The Company has defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees where annual contributions are
deposited to an insurer to provide gratuity benefits by taking a scheme of insurance, whereby these
contributions are transferred to the insurer. Gratuity is computed as 15 days last drawn salary, for every
completed year of service or part thereof in excess of 6 months and is payable on retirement / termination
/ resignation. The benefit vests on the employee completing 5 years of service. The Company makes
provision of such gratuity asset/liability in the books of accounts on the basis of actuarial valuation as
per the projected unit credit method. Plan assets also include investments and bank balances used to
deposit premiums until due to the insurance company.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the statement of
profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the gratuity plan:

The management assessed that fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate
their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the
financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company determines fair values of financial assets or liabilities by discounting the contractual cash inflows
/ outflows using prevailing interest rates of financial instruments with similar terms. The initial measurement of
financial assets and financial liabilities is at fair value. Further, the subsequent measurements of all assets and
liabilities (other then investments in mutual funds) is at amortised cost, using effective interest rate method.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The carrying amount of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents
are considered to be same as their fair values, due to short term in nature. The carrying value of the amortised
financial assets and liabilities are approximate to the fair values on the respective reporting dates.

Investment in subsidiaries and joint venture as at the close of the year ended March 31,2025 are carried at
cost, per the option availed by the Company under the relevant provision of Ind AS.

45 Fair value hierarchy

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial
position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into
three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and
liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Assets of disposal company classified as held for sales (AHFS): AHFS has been valued at fair value of
consideration receivable from other shareholders of the disposal company as agreed between the Company
and other shareholders of disposal group. Therefore sensitivity analysis is not available and accordingly
not disclosed.

The carrying amount of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents
are considered to be the same as their fair value, due to their short term nature.

46 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s management
oversees the management of these risks. The Company''s senior management is supported by a Risk
Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance
framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company''s management
that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that
financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk
objectives. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are
summarised below:

I. 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, trade payables, interest bearing
deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analyses of the above mentioned risk in the following sections exclude the impact of movements
in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions;
and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The analysis for contingent liabilities is
provided in note 38.

A. 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''s exposure to the risk of changes in market
interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates. However the
risk is very low due to negligible borrowings. The Company manages its interest rate risk by monitoring the
movements in the market interest rates closely.

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial
instruments at the end of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the
financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating
rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is based on the currently observable market environment,
showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the entity''s interest bearing financial instrument is as
its fair value:

The movement in the pre-tax effect on profit and loss is a result of a change in the fair value of
derivative financial instruments not designated in a hedge relationship and monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in INR, where the functional currency of the entity is a currency other
than INR.

II. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other
balances with banks, loans and other receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with
counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company''s exposure and credit ratings of its
counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread
amongst the counterparties.

The Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial
instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied
natures and purpose, there is no trend that the Company can draw to apply consistently to entire population.
For such financial assets, the Company ''s policy is to provides for 12 month expected credit losses upon
initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk.
The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering
their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such
financial assets. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial
assets recognized at reporting date.

A. Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy,
procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is
assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this
assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. At the year end the Company does
not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk other than that disclosed in note 12.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The
calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the
carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 44. The Company does not hold collateral
as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its
customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

B. Financial instruments and cash deposits

The management considers the credit quality of current accounts and deposits with banks to be good and
reviews the banking relationships on an on-going basis.

The Company does not require any security in respect of the above financial assets. There are no impairment
provisions as at each statement of financial position date against these financial assets, except as disclosed
in respect of trade receivables above. The management considers that all the above financial assets that
are not impaired or past due for each of the statement of financial position dates under review are of good
credit quality.

III. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments
associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity
risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the
use of bank overdrafts. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company''s financial liabilities
based on contractual undiscounted payments.

47 Capital Management

The Company''s capital management objectives are:

a) to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as going concern; and

b) to provide an adequate return to stakeholders

As at 31 March 2025, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has low debt. Consequent to
such capital structure, there are no externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain or achieve
an optimal capital structure, the Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment
into business based on its long term financial plans.

o. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of:

• a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;

• a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

p. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per equity share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average numbers of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity share

q. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks, on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above.

r. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

a) Financial assets Classification

The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, Trade Receivables that does not contain a significant financial component are measured at transaction price.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in below categories:

• Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose

objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

De-recognition

A financial asset is primarily derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss, the calculation of which is based on historical data, on the financial assets that are trade receivables or contract revenue receivables and all lease receivables.

b) Financial liabilities Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities,

including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

• Financial liabilities at amortised cost

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the

near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

c) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously

d) Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps, full currency swaps and forward commodity contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are

initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to statement of profit and loss.

s. Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication based on internal/ external factors, that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit is estimated. If such recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount. The carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If, at the reporting date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. Impairment losses previously recognised are accordingly reversed in the statement of profit and loss.

t. Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives and certain investments, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

• For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the balance sheet on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

D. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management''s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

In particular, the Company has identified the following areas where significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are required. Further information on each of these areas and how they impact the various accounting policies are described below and also in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgments and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market change or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(a) 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 CGU''s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where 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 subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

(b) Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such 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, mortality rates and future pension increases. 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.

(c) Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of assets.

(d) 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 valuation techniques including the DCF

model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

(e) Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgments in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(f) Estimation of current tax and deferred tax

Management judgement is required for the calculation of provision of income- taxes and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The factors used in estimates may differ from actual outcome which could lead to adjustment to the amounts reported in these financial statements.

(g) Right-of-use assets and lease liability:

The Company has exercised judgement in determining the lease term as the no cancellable term of the lease, together with the impact of options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily available, an incremental borrowing rate is applied. This incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar nature and value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires estimation.

(h) Share based payment transactions

The fair value ofemployee stock options is measured using the Black-Scholes model. Measurement inputs include share price on grant date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historical volatility), expected life of the instrument (based on expected exercise behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk free interest rate (based on government bonds). The details of variables used are given in note 43.

E. Recent pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

39 Scheme of Arrangement

The Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal, vide its order dated 26 November 2021, approved a Scheme of Arrangement (the ''Scheme'') between the Company and Kajaria Tiles Private Limited (''erstwhile KTPL''). Pursuant to the Scheme, all the properties, assets, rights, claims and obligations of the erstwhile KTPL were transferred and vested in the name of Company on a going concern basis w.e.f. 1 April 2019. The Company had accounted for the merger under the pooling of interest method retrospectively for all periods presented and accordingly these numbers had been restated as prescribed in Appendix-C of Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations of entities under common control.

41 Segment information

According to Ind AS 108 ''Operating Segment'', identification of operating segments is based on Chief Operating Decision Maker (''CODM'') approach for making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. In Company, the decision makers view the operating results internal division wise (Ceramic, Glazed, Polished). Accordingly, such segments may be presented under Ind AS 108. However, these segments have been aggregated because the core principles, economic characteristics, nature of products, production process, distribution method, regulatory environment and type of customers in all the divisions are similar. Hence the disclosure requirement of Ind AS 108 is not considered applicable.

45 Fair value hierarchy

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

46 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company''s senior management is supported by a Risk Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company''s management that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

I. 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, trade payables, interest bearing deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analyses of the above mentioned risk in the following sections exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The analysis for contingent liabilities is provided in note 38.

other receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company''s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

A. 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''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates. However the risk is very low due to negligible borrowings. The Company manages its interest rate risk by monitoring the movements in the market interest rates closely.

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

The Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied natures and purpose, there is no trend that the Company can draw to apply consistently to entire population. For such financial assets, the Company ''s policy is to provides for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk. The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each subcategory of such financial assets. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at reporting date.

A. Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. At the year end the Company does not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk other than that disclosed in note 12.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 44. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

II. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other balances with banks, loans and

B. Financial instruments and cash deposits

The management considers the credit quality of current accounts and deposits with banks to be good and reviews the banking relationships on an on-going basis.

The Company does not require any security in respect of the above financial assets. There are no impairment provisions as at each statement of financial position date against these financial assets, except as disclosed in respect of trade receivables above. The management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the statement of financial position dates under review are of good credit quality.

III. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

47 Capital Management

The Company''s capital management objectives are:

a) to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as going concern; and

b) to provide an adequate return to stakeholders

As at 31 March 2024, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has low debt. Consequent to such capital structure, there are no externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment into business based on its long term financial plans.

(B) The Company has not received any fund from any person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign entities (Funding Party) with the understanding (whether recorded in writing or otherwise) that the Company shall:

a) directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding Party (Ultimate Beneficiaries) or

b) provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the ultimate beneficiaries

(iii) Compliance with number of layers of companies:

The Company has complied with the number of layers prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013.

b) provide any guarantee, security or the like to or on behalf of the ultimate beneficiaries.

57 Corporate social responsibility (''CSR'')

As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, Schedule VII and Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014, the Company was required to spend B9.09 Crores (31 March 2023: B8.27 Crores) for Corporate Social Responsibility activities. The Company has incurred CSR expenditure of B8.43 Crores during the current financial year (after adjustments of B0.06 Crores being excess CSR incurred in previous years) (31 March 2023: B7.43 Crores) on the projects/activities for the benefit of the public in general and in the neighbourhood of the manufacturing facilities of the Company. Further the Company has provided an amounting to B0.60 Crores (31 March 2023: B0.88 Crores) against the projects in hand of CSR in accordance with requirements of the Act.

58 Post reporting date events

No adjusting or significant non-adjusting event has occurred between 31 March 2024 and the date of authorisation of Company''s standalone financial statements. However, the Board of Directors of the Company have recommended a final dividend of B 6 per share (31 March 2023: B 3 per share) on equity shares of B1 each for the year ended 31 March 2024, subject to the approval of shareholders at the ensuing annual general meeting.

59 The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has prescribed a new requirement for companies under the proviso to Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, inserted by the Companies (Accounts) Amendment Rules 2021 requiring companies, which uses accounting software for maintaining its books of accounts, shall only use such accounting software which has a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in the books of account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled. The new requirement is applicable with effect from the financial year beginning on 01 April 2023.

The Company uses SAP S/4 HANA as the primary accounting software. During the current financial year, the audit trail (edit log) feature for any direct changes made at the database level was not enabled for the accounting software SAP S/4 HANA used for maintenance of all the accounting records by the Company.

Gratuity is computed as 15 days last drawn salary, for every completed year of service or part thereof in excess of 6 months and is payable on retirement / termination / resignation. The benefit vests on the employee completing 5 years of service. The Company makes provision of such gratuity asset/liability in the books of accounts on the basis of actuarial valuation as per the projected unit credit method. Plan assets also include investments and bank balances used to deposit premiums until due to the insurance company.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the gratuity plan:

a. ) The discount rate is based upon the market yield available on government bonds at the accounting date relevant to currency

of benefits payments for a term that matches the liability.

b. ) The estimates for future salary increase rate taxes amount of inflation, seniority, promotion, business plan, human resource

policy and other relevant factors on long term basis."

c. ) The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972.

The sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.

Sensitivities due to mortality are insignificant and hence ignored.

Sensitivities as to rate of inflation, rate of increase of pensions in payments, rate of increase of pensions before retirement and life expectancy are not applicable being a lump sum benefit on retirement.

Effect of plan on Company''s future cash flows (a) Funding arrangements and funding Policy

The Company has purchased an insurance policy to provide payment of gratuity to the employees. 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.

Company has certain litigations involving customers, vendors and based on legal advice of in-house legal team, the management believes that no material liability will devolve on the Company in respect of these litigations.

39. Scheme of Arrangement

The Hon''ble National Company Law Tribunal, vide its order dated 26 November 2021, approved a Scheme of Arrangement (the ''Scheme'') between the Company and Kajaria Tiles Private Limited (''erstwhile KTPL''). Pursuant to the Scheme, all the properties, assets, rights, claims and obligations of the erstwhile KTPL were transferred and vested in the name of Company on a going concern basis w.e.f. 1 April 2019. The Company had accounted for the merger under the pooling of interest method retrospectively for all periods presented and accordingly these numbers had been restated as prescribed in Appendix-C of Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations of entities under common control.

41. Segment information

According to Ind AS 108 ''Operating Segment'', identification of operating segments is based on Chief Operating Decision Maker (''CODM'') approach for making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. In Company, the decision makers view the operating results internal division wise (Ceramic, Glazed, Polished). Accordingly, such segments may be presented under Ind AS 108. However, these segments have been aggregated because the core principles, economic characteristics, nature of products, production process, distribution method, regulatory environment and type of customers in all the divisions are similar. Hence the disclosure requirement of Ind AS 108 is not considered applicable.

45. Fair value hierarchy

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.

There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value as at 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022.

The management assessed that fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company determines fair values of financial assets or liabilities by discounting the contractual cash inflows / outflows using prevailing interest rates of financial instruments with similar terms. The initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is at fair value. Further, the subsequent measurements of all assets and liabilities (other then investments in mutual funds) is at amortised cost, using effective interest rate method.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

- The fair value of the Company''s interest bearings borrowings are determined using discount rate that reflects the entity''s discount rate at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at the reporting period is assessed to be insignificant.

- The fair value of unquoted instruments and other financial assets and liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates using rates currently applicable for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Assets of disposal company classified as held for sales (AHFS): AHFS has been valued at fair value of consideration receivable from other shareholders of the disposal company as agreed between the Company and other shareholders of disposal group. Therefore sensitivity analysis is not available and accordingly not disclosed.

The carrying amount of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair value, due to their short term nature.

46. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company''s senior management is supported by a Risk Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company''s management that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

I. 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, trade payables, interest bearing deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analyses of the above mentioned risk in the following sections exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The analysis for contingent liabilities is provided in note 38.

A. 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''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates. However the risk is very low due to negligible borrowings. The Company manages its interest rate risk by monitoring the movements in the market interest rates closely.

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company''s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

The Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied natures and purpose, there is no trend that the Company can draw to apply consistently to entire population. For such financial assets, the Company ''s policy is to provides for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk. The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at reporting date.

A. Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. At the year end the Company does not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk other than that disclosed in note 12.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 44. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

B. Financial instruments and cash deposits

The management considers the credit quality of current accounts and deposits with banks to be good and reviews the banking relationships on an on-going basis.

The Company does not require any security in respect of the above financial assets. There are no impairment provisions as at each statement of financial position date against these financial assets, except as disclosed in respect of trade receivables above. The management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the statement of financial position dates under review are of good credit quality.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

47. Capital Management

The Company''s capital management objectives are:

a) to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as going concern; and

b) to provide an adequate return to stakeholders

The management assessed that fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

- The fair value of the Company''s interest bearings borrowings are determined using discount rate that reflects the entity''s discount rate at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at the reporting period is assessed to be insignificant.

- The fair value of unquoted instruments and other financial assets and liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates using rates currently applicable for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

45. Fair value hierarchy

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.

There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value as at 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Investments (Non current): Discounted Cash flow method using risk adjusted discount rate.

Investments (Current): The investments in mutual fund have been fair valued per net assets value (NAV) as at reporting date.

The carrying amount of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair value, due to their short term nature.

46. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company''s senior management is supported by a Risk Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company''s management that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

I. 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, trade payables, interest bearing deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analyses of the above mentioned risk in the following sections exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The analysis for contingent liabilities is provided in note 38.

A. 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''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

The movement in the pre-tax effect on profit and loss is a result of a change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated in a hedge relationship and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in INR, where the functional currency of the entity is a currency other than INR.

II. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company''s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

The Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied natures and purpose, there is no trend that the Company can draw to apply consistently to entire population. For such financial assets, the Company''s policy is to provides for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk. The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at reporting date.

A. Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. At the year end the Company does not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk other than that disclosed in note 12. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 44. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

III. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Board of the Directors of the Company in its meeting held on August 26, 2019, passed a resolution to approve the Scheme of Amalgamation amongst Kajaria Tiles Private Limited (Formerly known as Kajaria Floera Ceramics Private Limited), (Wholly-owned Subsidiary Company/Transferor Company) and Kajaria Ceramics Limited, (Holding Company/Transferee Company) and their respective shareholders and creditors'' ("Scheme") on a going concern basis, with effect from April 1,2019 or such other date as may be approved by the competent authority.

Next hearing date is fixed on 30^th July 2021. As the Scheme is pending with NCLT, no effect of the Scheme has been given in these financial statements.

41. Segment information

According to Ind AS 108 ''Operating Segment'', identification of operating segments is based on Chief Operating Decision Maker (''CODM'') approach for making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. In Company, the decision makers view the operating results internal division wise (Ceramic, Glazed, Polished). Accordingly, such segments may be presented under Ind AS 108. However, these segments have been aggregated because the core principles, economic characteristics, nature of products, production process, distribution method, regulatory environment and type of customers in all the divisions are similar. Hence the disclosure requirement of Ind AS 108 is not considered applicable.

The management assessed that fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company determines fair values of financial assets or liabilities by discounting the contractual cash inflows / outflows using prevailing interest rates of financial instruments with similar terms. The initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is at fair value. Further, the subsequent measurements of all assets and liabilities (other than investments in mutual funds) is at amortised cost, using effective interest rate method.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

- The fair value of the Company''s interest bearings borrowings are determined using discount rate that reflects the entity''s discount rate at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at the reporting period is assessed to be insignificant.

- The fair value of unquoted instruments and other financial assets and liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates using rates currently applicable for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

45. Fair value hierarchy

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.

There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value as at 31^st March, 2021 and 31^st March, 2020.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Investments (Non current): Discounted Cash flow method using risk adjusted discount rate.

Investments (Current): The investments in mutual fund have been fair valued per net assets value (NAV) as at reporting date.

The carrying amount of trade receivables, trade payables, capital creditors and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair value, due to their short term nature.

46. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company''s senior management is supported by a Risk Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company''s management that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

I. 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, trade payables, interest bearing deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments

The sensitivity analyses of the above mentioned risk in the following sections exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The analysis for contingent liabilities is provided in note 38.

A. 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''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates. However the risk is very low due to negligible borrowings. The Company manages its interest rate risk by monitoring the movements in the market interest rates closely.

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

designated in a hedge relationship and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in INR, where the functional currency of the entity is a currency other than INR.

II. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company''s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

The Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied natures and purpose, there is no trend that the Company can draw to apply consistently to entire population. For such financial assets, the Company ''s policy is to provides for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk. The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at reporting date.

A. Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. At the year end the Company does not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk other than that disclosed in note 12.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 44. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

B. Financial instruments and cash deposits

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The management considers the credit quality of current accounts and deposits with banks to be good and reviews the banking relationships on an on-going basis.

The Company does not require any security in respect of the above financial assets. There are no impairment provisions as at each statement of financial position date against these financial assets, except as disclosed in respect of trade receivables above. The management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the statement of financial position dates under review are of good credit quality.

III. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

47. Capital Management

The Company''s capital management objectives are:

a) to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as going concern; and

b) to provide an adequate return to stakeholders

As at 31^st March, 2021, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has low debt. Consequent to such capital structure, there are no externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment into business based on its long term financial plans.

51. Post reporting date events

No adjusting or significant non-adjusting event has occurred between 31^st March, 2021 and the date of authorisation of Company''s consolidated financial statements.

52.

Post the outbreak of COVID-19, The Company has made an assessment of the likely adverse impact on economic environment in general and potential impact on its operations including the carrying values of its current and non current assets including property, plant and equipment''s and other financial exposure. The Company has also evaluated its liability to meet the financial commitments. The Company as of the reporting date has used internal and external sources on the expected sources on the expected future performance of the Company and accordingly does not expect any long term adverse impact of COVID-19 on its ability to recover the carrying value of assets and meeting its financial obligation. However, given the nature of the COVID-19, the Company continues to monitor developments to identify and manage any significant uncertainties relating to its future economic outlook.

53. The standalone financial statements for the year ended 31^st March, 2021 were approved by the Board of Directors on 14^th June 2021.

8. Share Based Payments

Kajaria Ceramics Employee Stock Option Plan, 2015 (‘ESOP 2015’ or the ‘Plan’) was approved by the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company on 7 September 2015. The plan entitles employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase shares in the Company at the stipulated exercise price, subject to compliance with vesting conditions. A description of the share based payment arrangement of the Company is given below:

Stock options will be settled by issue of equity shares. As per the Plan, holders of vested options are entitled to purchase one equity share for every option at an exercise price of Rs.850 per option which is 7.42 % below the stock price i.e. Rs.918.10 per share on the date of grant, i.e. 20 October 2015.

During the year ended 31 March 2017, face value of equity shares of the Company was sub-divided to Rs.1 per share from Rs.2 per share. Accordingly, the exercise price also reduced to Rs.425 per share from Rs.850 per share and number of stock options increased to 458,000 equity shares from 229,000 equity shares. The number and weighted average exercise price of share options are as follows:

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. The fair values of options granted were determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account factors specific to the share incentive plans along with other external inputs. Expected volatility has been determined by reference to the average volatility for comparable companies for corresponding option term. The following principal assumptions were used in the valuation:

The management assessed that fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company determines fair values of fianncial assets or liabilities by discounting the contractual cash inflows / outflows using prevailing interest rates of financial instruments with similar terms. The initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is at fair value. Further, the subsequent measurements of all assets and liabilities (other then investments in mutual funds) is at amortised cost, using effective interest rate method.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

- The fair value of the Company’s interest bearings borrowings are determined using discount rate that reflects the entity’s discount rate at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at the reporting period is assessed to be insignificant.

- The fair value of unquoted instruments and other financial assets and liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates using rates currently applicable for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

9. Fair value hierarchy

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.

There are no financial liabilities measured at Fair Value as at 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017.

The financial assets measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as on 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 as follows:

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Investments: Discounted Cash flow method using risk adjusted discount rate.

10. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s senior management is supported by a Risk Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company’s management that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

I. 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, trade payables, interest bearing deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analyses of the above mentioned risk in the following sections exclude the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The analysis for contingent liabilities is provided in note 35.

A. 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’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s debt obligations with floating interest rates. However the risk is very low due to negligible borrowings. The Company manages its interest rate risk by monitoring the movements in the market interest rates closely.

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting year and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

B. Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency risk senstivity is the impact on the Company’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

The movement in the pre-tax effect on profit and loss is a result of a change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated in a hedge relationship and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in INR, where the functional currency of the entity is a currency other than INR.

II. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company’s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

The Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied natures and purpose, there is no trend that the Company can draw to apply consistently to entire population. For such financial assets, the Company ‘s policy is to provides for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provide for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk. The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at reporting date.

A. Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. At the year end the Company does not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk other than that disclosed in note 11.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 41. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

B. Financial instruments and cash deposits

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The management considers the credit quality of current accounts and deposits with banks to be good and reviews the banking relationships on an on-going basis.

The Company does not require any security in respect of the above financial assets. There are no impairment provisions as at each statement of financial position date against these financial assets, except as disclosed in respect of trade receivables above. The management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each of the statement of financial position dates under review are of good credit quality.

III. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

11. Capital Management

The Company’s capital management objectives are:

a) to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as going concern; and

b) to provide an adequate return to stakeholders

As at 31 March 2018, the Company has only one class of equity shares and has low debt. Consequent to such capital structure, there are no externally imposed capital requirements. In order to maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment into business based on its long term financial plans.

12. Unhedged foreign currency exposure

The Company has no outstanding derivative instrument at the year end. The amount of foreign currency exposure that are not hedged by derivative instruments or otherwise are as under -

13. Research and development expenditure

Research and Development expenditure incurred during the year ended 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 is as follows:

14. Corporate social responsibility (‘CSR’)

As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, Schedule VII and Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014, the Company was required to spend Rs.6.70 crore (31 March 2017: Rs.5.19 crore) for Corporate Social Responsibility activities. The company has incurred CSR expenditure of Rs.3.98 crore during the current financial year (31 March 2017: Rs.3.37 crore) on the projects/activities for the benefit of the public in general and in the neighborhood of the manufacturing facilities of the Company.

15. Post reporting date events

No adjusting or significant non-adjusting event has occurred between 31 March 2018 and the date of authorisation of Company’s standalone financial statements. However, the Board of Directors of the Company have recommended a final dividend of Rs.3 per share (31 March 2017: Rs.3 per share) on equity shares of Rs.1 each for the year ended 31 March 2018, subject to the approval of shareholders at the ensuing annual general meeting.

16. Scheme of Arrangement

The Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, vide its order dated 22 February 2018, approved a Scheme of Arrangement (the ‘Scheme’) between the Company and Kajaria Securities Private Limited (‘KSPL’). Pursuant to the Scheme, all the properties, assets, rights, claims and obligations of the erstwhile KSPL have been transferred and vested in the Company on a going concern basis. Pursuant to the Scheme, existing equity shares of the Company held by KSPL stand cancelled and the Company has issued 64,669,867 equity shares of Rs.1 each to shareholders of erstwhile KSPL in proportion of their shareholding in KSPL and authorised share capital of KSPL has been transferred to the authorised share capital of the Company. Accordingly, authorised share capital of the Company has increased to Rs.129.10 crore which consist of 520,000,000 equity shares of Rs.1 each and 7,710,000 preference shares of Rs.100 each.

Since there is no specific guidance for accounting of such arrangements under Indian Accounting Standards, accounting has been done as per the accounting treatment stated in the Scheme. Accordingly, the difference between the net assets acquired and reserves of KSPL that vested with the Company has been debited to capital reserves. The Company has acquired net assets amounting to Rs.0.29 crore and reserves amounting to Rs.66.49 crore and Rs.66.20 crore has been debited to capital reserves. Further during the year ended 31 March 2017, dividend was distributed to KSPL amounting to Rs.19.31 crore which has been adjusted against retained earnings.

17. The standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 were approved by the Board of Directors on 8 May 2018.

1. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management''s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

In particular, the Company has identified the following areas where significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are required. Further information on each of these areas and how they impact the various accounting policies are described below and also in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

Judgments

In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal, contractor, land access and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgments and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market change or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(a) 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 CGU''s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where 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 subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

(b) Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such 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, mortality rates and future pension increases. 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.

(c) 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 valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

(d) Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgments in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

Notes:

# Loans are non-derivative financial assets which generate a fixed or variable interest income for the Company. The carrying value may be affected by changes in the credit risk of the counterparties.

* Represents loans given to subsidiary companies and include Rs,62.18 crores (March 31, 2016: Rs,40.24 crores, April 1, 2015: Rs,24.37 crores) given to "Kajaria Bathware Private Limited” in which directors of the company are also directors.

B. Terms/Rights attached to equity shares

The company has only one class of equity share having face value of Re 1/- per share ( 31 March 2016: Rs,2/- refer note ''C'').The holder of the equity shares is entitled to receive dividend was declared from time to time. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to approval of the shareholders in ensuing annual general meeting. The holder of share is entitled to voting rights proportionate to their share holding.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive assets of the Company remaining after settlement of all liabilities. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

C. Share Spilt during the current year

The equity shares of the Company were split off from face value of ''2/- each to ''1/- each. In this regard, the Board of Directors of the Company has accorded its approval at its meeting held on June 16, 2016 and shareholders have approved the same at the Annual General Meeting held on August 24, 2016. Accordingly, NSE & BSE have changed the face value of equity shares of the Company w.e.f. October 4, 2016 and consequently equity shares of the company changed from 7,94,69,000 of ''2/- each to 15,89,38,000 of ''1/- each.

E. Consolidation of promoter group Companies

Pursuant to the Composite Scheme of Arrangement approved by the Hon''ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana on April 29, 2016, the erstwhile promoter companies namely, Kajaria Exports Private Limited, Pearl Tile Marketing Private Limited and Cheri Ceramics Private Limited stands merged (''Merged entities'') with another promoter company i.e. Kajaria Securities Private Limited (KSPL). Accordingly, the shareholding of the merged entities in the Company have been transferred to KSPL.

F. Preference share capital

The Company also has authorized preference share capital of 10,00,000 shares (31 March 2016: 10,00,000, 1 April 2015: 10,00,000) of Rs,100 each

2. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

According to Ind AS 108, identification of operating segments is based on Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) approach for making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. In Kajaria Ceramics Limited, the decision makers view the operating results internal division wise (Ceramic, Glazed, Polished). Accordingly, such segments may be presented under Ind AS 108. However, these segments have been aggregated because the core principles, economic characteristics, nature of products, production process, distribution method, regulatory environment and type of customers in all the divisions are similar. Hence the disclosure requirement of Ind AS 108 of "Segment Reporting” is not considered applicable.

6. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

Description of share based payments arrangements

During the year, the Company granted stock options to certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has the following share-based payment arrangements for employees.

Kajaria Ceramics Employee Stock Option Plan 2015 (ESOP 2015)

The ESOP 2015 ("the Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and the shareholders on 7th September 2015. The plan entitles employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase shares in the Company at the stipulated exercise price, subject to compliance with vesting conditions. Stock options will be settled by issue of equity shares. As per the Plan, holders of vested options are entitled to purchase one equity share for every option at an exercise price of Rs,850, which is 7.42% below the stock price i.e. Rs,918.10 at the date of grant, i.e., 20th October, 2015.

The management assessed that fair value of short term financial assets and liabilities significantly approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company determines fair values of fianncial assets or liabilities by discounting the contractual cash inflows / outflows using prevailing interest rates of financial instruments with similar terms. The initial measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities is at fair value. The fair value of investments in mutual funds is determined using quoted net assets value of the funds. Further, the subsequent measurements of all assets and liabilities (other then investments in mutual funds) is at amortised cost, using effective interest rate method.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

- The fair value of the Company''s interest bearings borrowings are determined using discount rate that reflects the entity''s discount rate at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at the reporting period is assessed to be insignificant.

- The fair value of unquoted instruments and other financial assets and liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates using rates currently applicable for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Security Deposit and interest free loan: Discounted Cash flow method using risk adjusted discount rate

7. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company''s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise , trade and other payables, security deposits, employee liabilities. The Company''s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, inventories and cash and short-term deposits/ loan that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s management oversees the management of these risks. The Company''s senior management is supported by a Risk Management Compliance Board that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk committee provides assurance to the Company''s management that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.

I. 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. Financial instruments affected by market risk include , deposits.

The sensitivity analyses of the above mentioned risk in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016.

The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on: the carrying values of gratuity and other postretirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The analysis for contingent liabilities is provided in Note 34.

The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses:

- The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016.

A. 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''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s debt obligations with floating interest rates. However the risk is very low due to negligible borrowings by the Company.

The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

B. Foreign currency sensitivity

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency risk sensitivity is the impact on the Company''s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

The movement in the pre-tax effect on profit and loss is a result of a change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated in a hedge relationship and monetary assets and liabilities denominated in INR, where the functional currency of the entity is a currency other than INR.

8. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

II. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions.

Credit risk from investments with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Treasury functions in accordance with the management policies. Investments of surplus funds are only made with approved counterparties who meet the appropriate rating and/or other criteria, and are only made within approved limits. The management continually re-assess the Company''s policy and update as required. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty failure.

The maximum credit risk exposure relating to financial assets is represented by the carrying value as at the Balance Sheet date

A. Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

At the year end the Company does not have any significant concentrations of bad debt risk other than that disclosed in note 9.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 39. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

B. Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company''s treasury department in accordance with the Company''s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties.

III. Liquidity risk

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company''s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

13. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS Exemptions applied:

1. Mandatory exceptions;

a) Estimates

The estimates at 1 April 2015 and at 31 March 2016 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with Previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies) apart from the following items where application of Previous GAAP did not require estimation:

- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model

The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with Ind AS reflect conditions at 1 April 2015, the date of transition to Ind AS and as of 31 March 2016.

b) De-recognition of financial assets:

The company has applied the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS.

c) Classification and measurement of financial assets:

i. Financial Instruments:

Financial assets like security deposits received and security deposits paid, has been classified and measured at amortized cost on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. Since, it is impracticable for the Company to apply retrospectively the effective interest method in Ind AS 109, the fair value of the financial asset or the financial liability at the date of transition to Ind AS by applying amortized cost method, has been considered as the new gross carrying amount of that financial asset or the financial liability at the date of transition to Ind AS.

d Impairment of financial assets: (Trade receivables and other financial assets)

At the date of transition to Ind AS, the Company has determined that there significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition of a financial instrument would require undue cost or effort, the Company has recognized a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date until that financial instrument is derecognized (unless that financial instrument is low credit risk at a reporting date).

Optional exemptions;

A. Deemed cost-Previous GAAP carrying amount: (PPE and Intangible)

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 and investment property covered by Ind AS 40 Investment Properties.

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

B. Lease:-

Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected to be not material.

The company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts/arrangements.

C. Business combinations:

Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter not to apply Ind AS 21 Effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates retrospectively for business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to Ind AS. In such cases, where the entity does not apply Ind AS 21 retrospectively to fair value adjustments and goodwill, the entity treats them as assets and liabilities of the acquirer entity and not as the acquire.

The company has elected to apply this exemption.

D. Investment in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in Standalone financial statements :

At transition date, entity may choose to account for its investment at:

- Cost as per Ind AS 27 determined at transition date.

- Fair value as per Ind AS 113 (only on transition date).

- Previous GAAP carrying amount.

- Fair value as per Ind AS 109 (recurring fair valuation without recycling).

The company has elected to apply previous GAAP carrying amount exemption.”

E. Share based payments :

A first-time adopter is encouraged, but not required, to apply Ind AS 102 to equity instruments that vested before the date of transition to Ind ASs. If a first-time adopter elects to apply Ind AS 102 to equity instruments that vested before the date of transition to Ind ASs, 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.

Under Previous GAAP, a company could have used the intrinsic value method or the fair value method. However, Ind AS 102 requires all types of share-based payments and transactions to be measured at fair value and recognized over the vesting period.

However Ind-AS 101 provides that requirements of Ind-AS 102 can be applied to the options that have been vested only if the company has publically disclosed the fair value. For options that have not yet vested as at the transition date the company will need to apply the requirements of Ind-AS 102 retrospectively.

Footnotes to the reconciliation of equity as at 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016 and profit & loss for the year ended 31 March 2016

1 Security deposits

Under Previous GAAP, the security deposits paid for lease rent are shown at the transaction value whereas under Ind AS, the same are initially discounted and subsequently recorded at amortized cost at the end of every financial reporting period. Accordingly, the difference between the transaction and discounted value of the security deposits paid towards lease rent is recognized as deferred lease expense and is amortized over the period of the lease term. Further, interest is accreted on the present value of the security deposits paid for lease rent.

14 RECONCILIATION OF PROFIT OR LOSS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016 (contd...)

15 Deferred tax assets

Previous GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the profit and loss account 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 relating to various transition adjustments which are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings as a separate component in equity.

16 Government grant - interest free loan

Under the previous GAAP, interest free loan from the government has been presented in the Balance Sheet by showing it as a part of borrowings, Government grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are required to be presented in the balance sheet by setting up the grant as deferred income in the liability side of balance sheet. The grant set up as deferred income is recognized in profit & loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Accordingly, unamortized government grants till transition date is recognized as deferred government grant and is amortized.

17 Expected credit loss model

Under the previous GAAP, provision for bad debt was recognized for the doubtful debtors on a case to case basis. However, under Ind AS, the Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are trade receivables accounting for both nonpayment and delay of receivable. According to the past estimates, the Company has recognized 0.1% of good debtors as the additional provision under ECL model.

Footnotes to the reconciliation of profit & loss for the year ended 31 March 2016

18 Sale of goods

Under Previous GAAP, sale of goods was presented as net of excise duty. However, under Ind AS, sale of goods includes excise duty. Excise duty on sale of goods is separately presented on the face of statement of profit and loss. Thus sale of goods under Ind AS has increased with a corresponding increase in other expense. There is, however, no impact on profit for the year on account of the same.

19 Other operating income :Sale of power from windmill

Under Previous GAAP, the windmill rental received from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation was recognized as income in the respective period. However, as per the arrangement contains a lease within the scope of Ind AS 17. An asset (the facility) is explicitly identified in the arrangement and fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the facility. Therefore, the management has estimated an amount of 5% of WDV as the rental income from finance lease.

20 Other income

Security Deposit Interest unwinding- Interest on present value of security deposit is recognized as income at the average borrowing rate for the corresponding period. Impact of the same is ''0.42 Crore.

21 Finance expense

Interest expense on interest free government loan has been recognized at the average borrowing rate of the Company. Additional interest expense amounting to ''0.0008 crore has been recognized for the year ended 31 March 2016

22 Rent expense

Rent expense: Differed lease expense has been recognized on a straight line basis over the life of security deposits for the term of the deposit. Impact Rs,0.40 Crore for FY ended 31 March 2016.

23 Defined benefit liabilities

Both under Previous GAAP and Ind AS, the company recognized costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Previous GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit & loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements [comprising of actuarial gains and losses, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability] are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI.

24 Share-based payments

Under Previous GAAP, the Company recognized only the intrinsic value for the long-term incentive plan as an expense. Ind AS requires the fair value of the share options to be determined using an appropriate pricing model recognized over the vesting period. An additional expense of Rs,0.66 crore has been recognized in profit & loss for the year ended 31 March 2016.

25 ECL for trade receivables

Under the previous GAAP, provision for bad debt was recognized for the doubtful debtors on a case to case basis. However, under Ind AS, the Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are trade receivables accounting for both nonpayment and delay of receivable. According to the past estimates, the Company has recognized 0.1% of good debtors as the additional provision under ECL model. Impact on trade receivables due to extra provision is Rs,0.06 crore.

26 Other comprehensive income

Under Previous GAAP, the company has not presented other comprehensive income (OCI) separately. Hence, it has reconciled Previous GAAP profit & loss to profit or profit & loss as per Ind AS. Further, Previous GAAP profit & loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

27 Re-classification

The company has reclassified previous year figures to conform to Ind AS classification.
