3. Summary of material accounting policies
3.01 Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with Ind ASs notified under
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard)
Rules, 2015, as amended, and the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe
Actâ), as applicable.
3.02 Use of Estimates
The preparation of separate financial
statements in conformity with the recognition
and measurement principles of Ind AS
requires the management of the Company to
make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported balances of assets and liabilities,
disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as
at the date of the separate financial statements
and the reported amounts of income and
expense for the periods presented.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the
period in which the estimates are revised and
future periods are affected.
3.02.01 Construction activities
Construction activities includes long¬
term contracts for construction of
infrastructure facilities or projects priced
on a time and material basis etc. Revenues
from construction activities are recognised
over time using percentage of completion
method. Such percentage of completion
is determined as a proportion of the cost
incurred for work performed to date
relative to the total estimated contract costs.
The Company follows the policy ofrecognizing
the contract revenue as soon as the work is
completed, irrespective of the certification.
However, whenever the work gets certified,
the Company takes the certified portion of the
previously uncertified revenue and deducts the
same amount from the uncertified portion of
the revenue of the respective financial year.
Foreseeable losses on such contracts are
recognized when probable using the most
likely outcome or expected value method, as
the case may be, in the particular circumstance.
3.02.02 Hotel Operations
Revenue is recognised at the transaction price
that is allocated to the performance obligation.
Revenue includes room revenue, food and
beverage sale and other services which is
recognised once the rooms are occupied, food
and beverages are sold and other services have
been provided as per the contract with the
customer.
3.02.03 Other services / activities
Revenues from agricultural activities is
recognized at a point in time when the
agricultural produce is sold to the customers.
Revenue from trading activities is recognised
at a point in time when the goods is sold to the
customers.
3.02.04 Other Income
Interest: Interest income is recognized on
time proportion basis taking into account the
amount outstanding and the effective interest
rate applicable.
3.03 Employee Benefits
3.03.01 Short-term benefits
Short term employee benefits are recognised
as an expense at the undiscounted amount in
the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in
which the related service is rendered.
3.03.02 Defined retirement benefits
The cost ofproviding defined benefit retirement
benefits are determined using the projected
unit credit method. The Company provides
gratuity benefits to its employees. Gratuity
liabilities are not funded. Remeasurements,
comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on
plan assets excluding amounts included in net
interest on the net benefit liability (asset) and
any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (if
applicable) are recognised in the balance sheet
with a charge or credit recognised in other
comprehensive income in the period in which
they occur. Remeasurement recognised in the
comprehensive income are not reclassified
to profit and loss but recognised directly in
the retained earnings. Past service costs are
recognised in profit and loss in the period in
which the amendment to plan occurs. Net
interest is calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net defined liability or asset at the
beginning of the period, taking into account
of any changes in the net defined benefit
liability(asset) during the period as a result of
contribution and benefit payments.
Defined benefit costs which are recognised in
profit and loss are categorised as follows:
- service cost (including current service
cost, past service cost, as well as
gains and losses on curtailments and
settlements); and
- net interest expense or income; and
The retirement benefit obligation recognised
in the separate financial statements represents
the actual deficit or surplus in the Companyâs
defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting
from this calculation is limited to the present
value of any economic benefits available in the
form of refunds from the plans or reduction in
future contributions to the plans.
The liability for termination benefit is
recognised at the earlier of when the entity can
no longer withdraw the offer of the termination
benefit and when the entity recognises any
related restructuring costs.
3.04 Taxation
i) Current tax
Current tax is the amount of tax
payable on the taxable profit for the
year as determined in accordance with
the provisions of the Income Tax Act,
1961. Taxable profit differs from âProfit
Before Taxâ as reported in the Statement
of Profit and Loss because of items of
income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and items that
are never taxable or deductible. The
current tax is calculated using tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting
period.
ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary
differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in
the separate financial statements and
the corresponding tax bases used in
the computation of taxable profits.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognised for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are
generally recognised for all deductible
temporary differences to the extent
that is probable that taxable profits
will be available against which those
deductible temporary differences can
be utilised. Such deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not recognised if
the temporary difference arises from
the initial recognition (other than in a
business combination) of assets and
liabilities in a transaction that affects
neither the taxable profit nor the
accounting profit. In addition, deferred
tax liabilities are not recognised if the
temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of goodwill.
The carrying amount of deferred tax
assets is reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset
to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets
are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the period in
which the liability is settled or the asset
is realised, based on tax rates (and
tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantially enacted by the end of the
reporting period.
iii) Minimum alternate tax
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid
in accordance with the tax laws, which
gives future economic benefits in the
form of adjustment to future income tax
liability, is recognised as an asset in the
balance sheet when there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay
normal income tax during the specified
period and it is probable that future
economic benefit associated with it will
flow to the Company.
iv) Current tax and deferred tax
Current tax and deferred tax are
recognised in Statement of Profit
and Loss, except when they relate
to items that are recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income or directly in
equity, in which case, the current and
deferred tax are also recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income or directly in
equity respectively. The current and
deferred tax arising from the initial
accounting for business combination,
are included in the accounting for the
business combination.
3.05 Property, Plant and equipment
Land, buildings, Plant and equipment,
Furniture and Fixtures, Vehicles, Office
equipments held for use in the operations,
or for administrative purposes are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land
is not depreciated. Cost includes purchase cost
of materials, including import duties and non¬
refundable taxes, any directly attributable
costs of bringing an asset to the location and
condition of its intended use and borrowing
costs capitalised in accordance with the
Companyâs accounting policy.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write
off the cost of assets (other than freehold
land) less their residual values over the
useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation of assets commences when the
assets are ready for their intended use. The
estimated useful lives, residual values and
depreciation method are reviewed at the end
of each reporting period, with the effect of any
changes is accounted as change in estimate on
a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected to arise from
the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss
arising on the disposal or retirement of an item
of property, plant and equipment is recognised
in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Upto March 31, 2019, assets acquired under
finance leases are depreciated over their
expected useful lives on the same basis as
owned asset. When there is no reasonable
certainty that ownership will be obtained by
the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated
over the shorter of the lease term and their
useful lives.
Estimated useful lives of the assets are as
follows:
Buildings : 30 to 60 years
Plant and equipment : 3 to 15 years
Furniture and Fixtures : 10 years
Office Equipments : 3 to 5 years
Computers : 3 years
Motor Vehicles : 5 to 8 years
An item of property, plant and equipment is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected to arise from
the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss
arising on the disposal or retirement of an item
of property, plant and equipment is recognised
in profit and loss.
The Company has elected to continue with
the carrying value of all of its property, plant
and equipment recognized as of April 1, 2016
measured as per the previous GAAP and use
that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the
transition date.
3.06 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing cost attributable to the acquisition
of qualifying assets is added to the cost up
to the date when such assets are ready for
their intended use. Other borrowing costs are
recognized as expenses in the period in which
these are incurred.
3.07 Impairment of tangible and intangible
assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the
Company reviews the carrying amounts of
its tangible and intangible assets (Other than
goodwill) to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered
any impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of
the impairment loss (if any). When it is not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount
of an individual asset, the Company estimates
the recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair
value less costs of disposal and value in use.
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 risks specific to the asset for
which the estimates of future cash flows have
not be adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash
generating unit is estimated to be less than the
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the
asset or cash generating unit is reduced to its
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognised immediately in profit and loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently
reverses, the carrying value of the asset or
cash generating unit is increased to the revised
estimate of its recoverable amount, but so
that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset or cash generating unit
in prior years. Any reversal of an impairment
loss is recognised immediately in profit and
loss.
3.08 Inventories
Raw materials, stores and spares, finished
goods, other construction materials and fuel
are valued at lower of cost and net realisable
value after providing for obsolescence and
other losses, where considered necessary. Cost
includes purchase price, non-refundable taxes
and duties and other directly attributable costs
incurred in bringing the goods/services to the
point of sale. Work-in-progress is valued at
cost.
Value of inventories are generally ascertained
on the âFIFOâ basis.

the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The financial statements have been
prepared on accrual basis under historical cost convention. The
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial
statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year.
1.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognized in the periods in which
the results are known / materialize.
1.3 Inventories
The stock of raw materials, stores and spares, other construction
materials and fuel are valued at cost under FIFO method or net
realizable value whichever is lower.
Work-in-progress is valued at cost.
1.4 Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash
equivalents are short- term balances (with an original maturity of
three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and
which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.5 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraor- dinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of
past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are
segregated based on the available information.
1.6 Depreciation
i) Tangible Fixed Assets
a) Depreciation is provided from the date the assets are ready to be
put to use, on straight line method as per the useful life of the
assets as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act,
2013 except for the Plant & Machinery and Cycles purchased before FY
2004-05 where the management has estimated that there were no useful
life of the aforementioned assets and thus differs from the useful life
prescribed under the Act.
For the aforementioned assets, the company has charged amount of Rs.
40,43,060/- as depreciation in statement of profit & loss instead of
deducting it from retained earnings for fair & better presentation of
financial statements.
1.7 Revenue recognition
Income from services
Revenues from contracts priced on a time and material basis are
recognized when services are rendered and related costs are incurred.
Revenues from turnkey contracts, which are generally time bound fixed
price contracts, are recognized over the life of the contract using the
proportionate completion method, with contract costs determining the
degree of completion. Foreseeable losses on such contracts are
recognized when probable.
Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognized pro-rata over the
period of the contract.
Contract Income
a. The company follows the policy of recognizing the revenue as soon
as the work is completed, irrespective of the certification. However,
whenever the work gets certified, the company takes the certified
portion of the previously uncertified revenue in the turnover and
deducts the same amount from the uncertified portion of the revenue of
the respective financial year.
b. It is to be noted that out of the total revenue of Rs.
6,08,33,560/- in the financial year 2014- 15, an amount of Rs.
5,94,17,000/- is pending for certification.
Income from Hotel
Income from hotel is recognized on accrual basis. Profit before
depreciation from hotel business is recognized as income in statement
of profit and loss. Depreciation and Taxes related to Hotel Business is
shown under respective heads of statement of profit and loss.
1.8 Other income
Interest: Interest income is generally recognized on time proportion
basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate
applicable. Maintenance & Hire Charges : Income from Maintenance and
Hire Charges is recognized on accrual basis.
1.9 Tangible Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The
cost of fixed assets comprises its purchase price, directly
attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended
use, other incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable
to acquisition or construction of qualifying fixed assets, up to the
date the asset is ready for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure
on fixed assets after its purchase/completion is capitalised only if
such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from
such assets beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
1.10 Investments
a. Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried
individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than
temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are
carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost of
investments includes acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and
duties. Investment in Lands are carried individually at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any.
1.11 Employee Benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, ESI and gratuity.
Contribution to Provident fund, ESI, Medical reimbursement etc. is
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
The provision for gratuity has been made, without any actuarial
valuation, and also not paid to any gratuity fund.
1.12 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing cost attributable to the acquisition of qualifying assets is
added to the cost up to the date when such assets are ready for their
intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the
period in which these are incurred.
1.13 Segment reporting
As per Accounting Standard (AS) 17 on "Segment Reporting", segment
information has been provided under the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
1.14 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss)
after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if
any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit
/ (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary
items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to
expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by
the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving
basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity
shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be
dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the
net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential
dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning
of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The
dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds
receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e.
average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential
equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are
adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as
appropriate.
1.15 Taxes on income
"Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961".
Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the differences
between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in
one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for all timing differences. Deferred tax
assets are recognized for timing differences of items other than
unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent
that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which these can be realized. However, if
there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred
tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty that there
will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise the
assets.
1.16 Joint Venture Operations
In respect of contracts executed in Integrated Joint Ventures under
profit sharing arrangement (assessed as AOP under Income tax laws), the

other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential
equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted

conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity
shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity
shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary
operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be
converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been
issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are
adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually
issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding

profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of
extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and
other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential
equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted
average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity
shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity
shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary
operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted
as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a
later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the
proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value
(i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive
potential equity shares are determined independently for each period
presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity
shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus
shares, as appropriate.

exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is
arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that

periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of
impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
