Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and
it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated, will be required to settle such an obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash
flows to net present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect
the current best estimate.
A present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are
also disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by
the occurrence or non -occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.
Claims against the Company where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as
contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of
economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of
economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the year in
which they are incurred.
Borrowing costs consists of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues
and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Companyâs chief operating decision maker to
make decisions for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the management approach as defined in Ind
AS 108, the chief operating decision maker evaluates the Companyâs performance and allocates resources based on an
analysis of various performance indicators by geographic segments.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity
shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with banks
having the maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash Flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions
of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income
or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities of the Company are segregated.
The Company recognises a liability to make dividend distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is
authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution
is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS
requires the management of the Company to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances
of assets and liabilities, disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expense for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the
following notes:
(i) Impairment of non - financial assets - Note 2.3(f)
(ii) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - Note 2.3(d) and (e)
(iii) Valuation of deferred tax assets - Note 2.3(j)(ii)
(iv) Defined benefit plans - Note 2.3(m)(iii)(a)
(v) Provisions and contingent liabilities - 2.3(n)
(vi) Fair value measurement - 2.3(b)
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCAâ) 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, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117
Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the
Company w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined
that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a face value of H 10. Each holder of the equity
share is entitled to one vote per share.
The Shareholders are entitled to receive dividend in proportion to the amount of paid up equity shares held by them. The
dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting,
except in case of interim dividend which is recognised on approval by board of directors.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares are entitled to receive the remaining assets of the
Company after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion of the number of shares held by
the shareholders.
There is no Holding Company or Ultimate Holding Company of the Company. Accordingly, disclosures pertaining to shares
of the Company held by held by holding company or its ultimate holding company including shares held by subsidiaries or
associates of the holding company or the ultimate holding company is not applicable.
The employees'' gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial
valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit
of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation for leave
encashment is recognised in the same manner.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions
occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented below may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit
obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the
assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the below sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has
been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as
applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing of "Formulation (Finished Dosage Form)â which in the
context of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 108 on Operating Segments constitutes a single reportable segment.
In accordance with Ind AS 108 "Operating Segmentsâ, segment information has been given in the consolidated financial statements
of the Company and therefore no separate disclosure on segment information is given in these financial statements.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are 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 has established the fair value hierarchy that categorises the values into 3 levels. For the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments refer Note No. 2.3(b)
There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are
a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Management does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would
be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the
requirements of the financial covenants. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total
capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less
cash and cash equivalents, excluding discontinued operations. The company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is total
debt divided by total capital plus debt.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Companyâs capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets
financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in
meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches
in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current year.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31,2025 and
March 31, 2024.
The Companyâs principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial
liabilities is to finance the Companyâs operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Companyâs principal
financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Companyâs business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely market risks, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company''s senior management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk
management framework. The top management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management
policies. The Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to
set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price
of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk
is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, borrowings, foreign
currency receivables and payables.
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 Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to the
Company''s long-term debt as well as short-term obligations with floating interest rates.
In order to manage it interest rate risk the Company diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the risk
management policies.
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the
Company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led
to approximately an additional H 45.31 Lakhs gain for year ended March 31, 2024 (H 22.71 Lakhs gain for year ended
March 31, 2024) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been
outstanding for the entire reporting.
Foreign currency risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency,
which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign
exchange rates relates primarily to the borrowings, import of raw materials, exports of Formulations and the Companyâs
net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those
derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows
established risk management policies. It uses derivative instruments like foreign currency forwards to hedge exposure
to foreign currency risk.
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded
price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments. The Company is exposed
to price risk arising mainly from investments in equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI. As at March 31, 2025, the
carrying value of such equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI amounts to H 5.26 Lakhs (March 31, 2024 H 5.26
Lakhs). The details of such investments in equity instruments are given in Note 6(a) and 6(b).
The Company is mainly exposed to change in market rates of its investments in equity investments recognised at
FVTOCI. A sensitivity analysis demonstrating the impact of change in market prices of these instruments from the
prices existing as at the reporting date is given below:
If the equity prices had been higher / lower by 10% from the market prices existing as at March 31, 2025, Other
Comprehensive Income for the year ended March 31, 2025 would increase / decrease by H Nil Lakhs (March 31,
2024 H Nil Lakhs) with a corresponding increase/decrease in Total Equity of the Company as at March 31, 2025. 10%
represents management''s assessment of reasonably possible change in equity prices.
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does 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 / investing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and
financial guarantees. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the Company''s established policy, procedures and
control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on a detailed study of
credit worthiness and accordingly individual credit limits are defined/ modified.
Total Trade receivable as on March 31, 2025 is H 9,192.12 Lakhs (March 31, 2024 H 8,780.30 Lakhs). The average credit
period on sale of goods is 90 to 180 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number
of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is
based on exchange losses historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of
each class of financial assets. 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 industries and
operate in largely independent markets.
The Company has used expected credit loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the Company
uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and
internal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The
Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without
incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions.The following
table shows the maturity analysis of the Company''s financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash
flows as at the Balance Sheet date.
Dues to micro, small and medium enterprises have been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis
of information collected by the management.
As per section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, amount required to be spent by the Company during the year ended March 31,
2025 and 2024 is H 61.99 lakhs and H 54.63 lakhs, respectively, computed at 2% of its average net profit for the immediately
preceding three financial years, on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The Company incurred an amount of H66.00 lakhs and
H 54.00 lakhs during the year ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, towards CSR expenditure for purposes other than
construction / acquisition of any asset.
More than 10% of the Revenues is from one customer aggregating to H 3,837.29 Lakhs representing approximately 14.28% of the
Companyâs revenue from operations from sale of products, for the year ended March 31, 2025.
More than 10% of the Revenues is from one customer aggregating to H 4,414.36 Lakhs representing approximately 13.30% of the
Companyâs revenue from operations from sale of products, for the year ended March 31, 2024.
53 During the previous year, on January 12, 2022, the Company had allotted 49,59,999 equity shares of face value H 10/- each at a
price of H 255/- per equity share (including premium of H 245/- per equity share) aggregating to H 12,648.00 lakhs on preferential
basis under chapter V of SEBI (Issue of capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 as amended and other applicable
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and relevant Rules thereunder. Out of the net proceeds of preferential issue, the Company
and its subsidiary Kopran Research Laboratories limited ad utilised H 12,408.49 lakhs upto March 31,2023 towards the purposes
specified in the private placement offer letter.
54 Dividend paid during the year ended March 31, 2025 of H 3 per equity share is towards final dividend for the year ended March
31, 2024. Dividend paid during the year ended March 31, 2025 of H 3 per equity share is towards final dividend for the year ended
March 31, 2024.
Dividends declared by the Company are based on the profit available for distribution. On May 15, 2025, the Board of Directors of
the Company have recommended a dividend of 30% i.e., H 3.00 per equity share of face value of H 10 each for the financial year
ended March 31, 2025 subject to the approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, and if approved, would result in a
cash outflow of approximately H 1,448.57 lakh.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, borrowings, foreign currency receivables and payables.

As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the Company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led to approximately an additional H 22.71 Lakhs gain for year ended March 31, 2024 (H 27.66 Lakhs gain for year ended March 31,2023) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been outstanding for the entire reporting.
ii) Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the borrowings, import of raw materials, exports of Formulations and the Companyâs net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows established risk management policies. It uses derivative instruments like foreign currency forwards to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
Foreign exchange risk sensitivity:
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the Company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led to approximately an additional H 70.12 Lacs net loss/Profit for year ended March 31, 2024 (H 41.97 Lacs net profit/ loss for year ended March 31, 2023) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
iii) Other Price Risk Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments. The Company is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI. As at March 31, 2024, the carrying value of such equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI amounts to H 5.26 Lakhs (March 31, 2023 H 5.26 Lakhs). The details of such investments in equity instruments are given in Note 6(a) and 6(b).
The Company is mainly exposed to change in market rates of its investments in equity investments recognised at FVTOCI. A sensitivity analysis demonstrating the impact of change in market prices of these instruments from the prices existing as at the reporting date is given below:
If the equity prices had been higher / lower by 10% from the market prices existing as at March 31, 2024, Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended March 31, 2024 would increase / decrease by H Nil Lakhs (March 31, 2023 H Nil Lakhs) with a corresponding increase/decrease in Total Equity of the Company as at March 31, 2024. 10% represents management''s assessment of reasonably possible change in equity prices.
b) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does 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 / investing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and financial guarantees. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
Trade receivables:
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on a detailed study of credit worthiness and accordingly individual credit limits are defined/ modified.
Total Trade receivable as on March 31, 2024 is H 8,780.30 Lakhs (March 31, 2023 H 8,381.25 Lakhs). The average credit period on sale of goods is 90 to 180 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on exchange losses historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. 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 industries and operate in largely independent markets.
The Company has used expected credit loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and internal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
Information about major customers:
More than 10% of the Revenues is from one customer aggregating to H 4,414.36 Lakhs representing approximately 13.30% of the Companyâs revenue from operations from sale of products, for the year ended March 31, 2024.

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated, will be required to settle such an obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
A present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non -occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.
Claims against the Company where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Borrowing costs consists of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Companyâs chief operating decision maker to make decisions for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the management approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the chief operating decision maker evaluates the Companyâs performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by geographic segments.
(q) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with banks having the maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash Flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
The Company recognises a liability to make dividend distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires the management of the Company to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
(i) Impairment of non - financial assets - Note 2.3(f)
(ii) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - Note 2.3(d) and (e)
(iii) Valuation of deferred tax assets - Note 2.3(j)(ii)
(iv) Defined benefit plans - Note 2.3(m)(iii)(a)
(v) Provisions and contingent liabilities - 2.3(n)
(vi) Fair value measurement - 2.3(b)
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 01,2023, as below:
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.
* The corporate Affairs Committee, a Board Committee of the Company in its meeting held on February 12, 2021, had forfeited 1,996 partly paid-up Equity Shares of '' 10 each, as the call amount outstanding at the rate of '' 20 per share (consisting of '' 5 towards face value and '' 15 towards securities premium) had remained unpaid. The same was disclosed under the head Equity Share Capital. During the year 2021-22, the management had cancelled the aforesaid forfeited 1996 equity shares aggregating to '' 0.10 Lacs as the same shall not be reissued and the same was transferred to "Capital Reserve" under the head "Other Equity".
The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a face value of '' 10. Each holder of the equity share is entitled to one vote per share.
The Shareholders are entitled to receive dividend in proportion to the amount of paid up equity shares held by them. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting, except in case of interim dividend which is recognised on approval by Board of Directors.

On February 28, 2019, the Honorable Supreme Court of India delivered a judgement in the case of ''Vivekananda Vidyamandir and Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengalâ in relation to nonexclusion of certain allowances from the definition of "basic wages" of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund under the Employeesâ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The Employeesâ Provident Fund Organisation also issued a circular (Circular No. C-1/1(33)2019/Vivekananda Vidyamandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 in relation to aforesaid matter. There is uncertainty and ambiguity in interpreting and giving effect to the guidelines of Honourable Supreme Court vide its ruling in February 2019, in relation to the scope of compensation on which the organisation and its employees are to contribute towards Provident Fund. The Company will evaluate its position and act, as clarity emerges.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented below may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the below sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing of "Formulation (Finished Dosage Form)" which in the context of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 108 on Operating Segments constitutes a single reportable segment.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Companyâs capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current year.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31,2022.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companyâs activities.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, borrowings, foreign currency receivables and payables.
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 Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to the Companyâs long-term debt as well as short-term obligations with floating interest rates.
In order to manage it interest rate risk the Company diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the risk management policies.
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the Company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led to approximately an additional '' 27.66 Lacs gain for year ended March 31,2023 ('' 36.68 Lacs gain for year ended March 31,2022) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.

As at March 31,2023, the carrying value of such equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI amounts to '' 5.26 Lacs (March 31,2022''5.52 Lacs). The details of such investments in equity instruments are given in Note 6(a) and 6(b).
The Company is mainly exposed to change in market rates of its investments in equity investments recognised at FVTOCI. A sensitivity analysis demonstrating the impact of change in market prices of these instruments from the prices existing as at the reporting date is given below:
If the equity prices had been higher / lower by 10% from the market prices existing as at March 31,2023, Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended March 31,2023 would increase / decrease by '' Nil Lacs (March 31, 2022 '' Nil Lacs) with a corresponding increase/decrease in Total Equity of the Company as at March 31,2023. 10% represents management''s assessment of reasonably possible change in equity prices.
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does 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 / investing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and financial guarantees.

Rate of Interest on buyers credit - Libor 0.50% p.a to Libor 1.50% p.a.
b) The Supreme Court in the case of Regional Provident Fund Commissioner Vs. Vicekananda Viday Mandir and Ors [LSI-62-SC-2019(NDEL)] has rendered a decision dated 28.02.2019 with reference to The Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 on a common question of law as to whether special allowance paid by an establishment to its employees would fall within the expression of âbasic wagesâ under section 2(b) (ii) read with section 6 of the Act for the purpose of computation of deduction towards provident Fund. The Supreme Court has held that in order to exclude the allowance from the ambit of basic wages, there must be evidence to show that the workman concerned has become eligible to get the extra amount beyond the normal work which he was otherwise required to put in. The test laid down by the Supreme Court will now have to be applied to each and every allowance to examine whether the allowance is excluded from the purview of wages or not. If the test for exclusion is met, then the said allowance would not form part of wages for the purpose of contribution under the Act. The Company is evaluating the impact of the decision of the Supreme Court on provident fund liability on account of various allowances to its employees. Pending necessary clarifications on the subject, no provision is considered necessary.
b) Defined benefit plan
The employeesâ gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation for leave encashment is recognised in the same manner.
Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

ii. Fair value measurements
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are 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 has established the fair value hierarchy that categorises the values into 3 levels. For the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments refer Note No. 2.3(b)
Notes:
There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period Financial instrument measured at amortised cost
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Management does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
7) Disclosures pursuant to Ind AS 1 âpresentation of financial statementsâ- capital management Capital includes issued equity capital and share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The primary objective of the companyâs capital management is to maximize the shareholder value.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Companyâs capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current year.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.
8) Disclosures pursuant to Ind AS 107 âFinancial Instruments Disclosuresâ- Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Companyâs principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Companyâs operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Companyâs principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Companyâs business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely market risks, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs senior management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Companyâs risk management framework. The top management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Companyâs risk management policies. The Companyâs risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companyâs activities.
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, borrowings, foreign currency receivables and payables.
i) 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 Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to the Companyâs long-term debt as well as short-term obligations with floating interest rates.
In order to manage it interest rate risk The Company diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the risk management policies.
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the Company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led to approximately an additional Rs. 49.68 Lakhs gain for year ended March 31, 2019 (Rs. 51.34 Lakhs gain for year ended March 31, 2018) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been outstanding for the entire reporting
ii) Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the borrowings, import of raw materials, exports of Formulations and the Companyâs net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows established risk management policies. It uses derivative instruments like foreign currency forwards to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
Foreign exchange risk sensitivity:
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the Company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led to approximately an additional Rs.11.41 Lakhs net gain for year ended March 31, 2019 (Rs. 7.37 Lakhs net loss for year ended March 31, 2018) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
iii) Other price risk
a) Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments. The Company is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI. As at March 31, 2019, the carrying value of such equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI amounts to Rs. 1.90 Lakhs (March 31, 2018 Rs. 4.51 Lakhs). The details of such investments in equity instruments are given in Note 6(a) and 6(b).
The Company is mainly exposed to change in market rates of its investments in equity investments recognised at FVTOCI. A sensitivity analysis demonstrating the impact of change in market prices of these instruments from the prices existing as at the reporting date is given below:
If the equity prices had been higher / lower by 10% from the market prices existing as at March 31, 2019, Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended March 31, 2019 would increase / decrease by Rs. Nil Lakhs (March 31, 2018 Rs. 0.27 Lakhs) with a corresponding increase/decrease in Total Equity of the Company as at March 31, 2019. 10% represents managementâs assessment of reasonably possible change in equity prices.
b) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does 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 / investing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and financial guarantees. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
Trade receivables:
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the Companyâs established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on a detailed study of credit worthiness and accordingly individual credit limits are defined/ modified.
Total Trade receivable as on March 31, 2019 is Rs. 4,459.01 Lakhs (March 31, 2018 Rs. 2,013.03 Lakhs). The average credit period on sale of goods is 90 to 180 days. No interest is charges on trade receivables.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on exchange losses historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. 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 industries and operate in largely independent markets.
The Company has used expected credit loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and internal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions.The following table shows the maturity analysis of the Companyâs financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows as at the Balance Sheet date.
Dues to micro, small and medium enterprises have been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis of information collected by the management.
9) Corporate Social Responsibility
As per section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, amount required to be spent by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is Rs. 8.77 lakhs and Rs. Nil, respectively, computed at 2% of its average net profit for the immediately preceding three financial years, on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The Company incurred an amount of Rs. 8.40 lakhs and Rs. Nil during the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, towards CSR expenditure for purposes other than construction / acquisition of any asset.

Application of new and revised Ind ASs
Ministry of corporate affairs (âMCAâ) through companies (Indian accounting standards) amendment Rules, 2018 has notified the following new and amendments to Ind ASs which the company has not applied as they are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018:
Ind AS 115 revenue from contracts with customers Ind AS 21 The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates
The company is evaluating the impact of these pronouncements on the financial statements.
(a) Ind AS 115 - Revenue from contracts with customers
On March 28, 2018, Ministry of corporate affairs (âMCAâ) has notified the Ind AS 115, revenue from contract with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entityâs contracts with customers.
The standard permits two possible methods of transition:
- Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8- accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors.
- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch-up approach). The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018.
The company is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of Ind AS 115 upon initial application.
(b) Appendix B to Ind AS 21, foreign currency transactions and advance consideration
The amendment clarifies on the accounting of transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The appendix explains that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.
The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of April 01, 2016 (the transition date) by recognizing all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognizing items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying certain items from Previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under the Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in the measurement of recognized assets and liabilities. However, this principle is subject to certain mandatory exceptions and certain optional exemptions availed by the company as detailed below:
2.1 First time adoption of Ind AS
The accounting policies set out in Note No. 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.
Exemptions and exceptions availed
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS as at the transition date, i.e. April 01, 2016.
(a) Ind AS optional exemptions
(i) Deemed cost
Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the Previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets 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.
(ii) Designation of previously recognized financial instruments
Ind AS 101 allows an entity to designate investments in equity instruments at FVOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS.
The company has elected to apply this exemption for its investment in equity instruments.
(iii) Leases
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.
(iv) Impairment of financial assets
The company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101, it has used reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to determine the credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially recognized in order to compare it with the credit risk at the transition date. Further, the company has not undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining, at the date of transition to Ind ASs, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind AS 101.
(v) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
The company has elected to measure investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures at cost.

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

9) Disclosures pursuant to Ind AS 107 âfinancial Instruments disclosuresâ- financial risk management objectives and policies
The companyâs principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the companyâs operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The companyâs principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The companyâs business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely market risks, credit risk and liquidity risk. The company''s senior management has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the company''s risk management framework. The top management is responsible for developing and monitoring the company''s risk management policies. The company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the company''s activities.
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, borrowings, foreign currency receivables and payables.
i) 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 companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to the company''s long-term debt as well as short-term obligations with floating interest rates.
In order to manage its interest rate risk The company diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the risk management policies.
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led to approximately an additional Rs. 51.34 Lakhs gain for year ended March 31, 2018 (Rs. 56.19 Lakhs gain for year ended March 31, 2017) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been outstanding for the entire reporting
ii) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the borrowings, import of raw materials, exports of cormulations and the companyâs net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure.
The company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The company follows established risk management policies. It uses derivative instruments like foreign currency forwards to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
Foreign exchange risk sensitivity:
As an estimation of the approximate impact of the interest rate risk, with respect to financial instruments, the company has calculated the impact of a 1% change in interest rates. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have led to approximately an additional Rs. 7.37 Lakhs net loss for year ended March 31, 2018 (Rs. 0.81 Lakhs net gain for year ended March 31, 2017) in Interest expenses. A 1% increase in interest rates would have led to an equal but opposite effect.
iii) Other price risk
a) Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Other price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments. The company is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI. As at March 31, 2018, the carrying value of such equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI amounts to Rs. 4.51 Lakhs (March 31, 2017 Rs. 4.48 Lakhs and Rs. 4.31 Lakhs as at April 01, 2016). The details of such investments in equity instruments are given in Note 7(a) and 7(b).
The company is mainly exposed to change in market rates of its investments in equity investments recognised at FVTOCI. A sensitivity analysis demonstrating the impact of change in market prices of these instruments from the prices existing as at the reporting date is given below:
If the equity prices had been higher / lower by 10% from the market prices existing as at March 31, 2018, other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2018 would increase / decrease by Rs. 0.27 Lakhs (March 31, 2017 Rs. 0.26 Lakhs, April 01, 2016 Rs. 0.25 Lakhs) with a corresponding increase/decrease in total equity of the company as at March 31, 2018. 10% represents managementâs assessment of reasonably possible change in equity prices.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does 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 / investing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and financial guarantees. The company has no significant concentration of credit risk with any counterparty.
Trade receivables:
Credit risk arising from trade receivables is managed in accordance with the companyâs established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on a detailed study of credit worthiness and accordingly individual credit limits are defined/ modified.
Total trade receivable as on March 31, 2018 is Rs. 2,013.03 Lakhs (March 31, 2017 Rs. 3,833.47 Lakhs, April 01, 2016 Rs. 1,813.78 Lakhs). The average credit period on sale of goods is 90 to 180 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on exchange losses historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. 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 industries and operate in largely independent markets.
The company has used expected credit loss (ECL) model for assessing the impairment loss. For the purpose, the company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss amount. The provision matrix takes into account external and internal risk factors and historical data of credit losses from various customers.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions.The following table shows the maturity analysis of the company''s financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows as at the balance sheet date.
Notes on reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS Excise duty
Under the previous GAAP, excise duty was netted off against sale of products. However, under Ind AS, excise duty is included in sale of products and is separately presented as expense in the statement of profit and loss under the head âother expensesâ.
Financial guarantee obligation
Under previous GAAP, no income is recognised in statement of profit and loss on the corporate guarantee given by the company on behalf of the Subsidiary. Under Ind AS, the financial guarantee income is required to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the respective periods in respect of the guarantee given by company with corresponding debit to the investments made in the respective subsidiary.
Amortization of loan
Under previous GAAP, the loan processing fees paid to the Bank at the time of disbursing the loan and is charged to statement of profit and loss in the year in which it is incurred. Under Ind AS, the same are amortised over the period of loan and required to be charged to the statement of profit and loss in the respective periods under the head âfinance costsâ.
Expected credit loss
Under previous GAAP, the company had created provision for doubtful debts based on specific amount for incurred losses. Under Ind AS, the allowance for doubtful debts has been determined based on expected credit loss model.
Employee benefits
Under previous GAAP, actuarial gains and losses were recognised in statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses form part of remeasurement of net defined benefit liability / asset which is recognised in other comprehensive income in the respective periods. As a result of this change there is no impact on the total equity as at March 31, 2017.
Other comprehensive income
The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP. Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognised during the year should be included in profit or loss for the year, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognised in profit or loss are shown in the statement of profit and loss as âother comprehensive incomeâ. OCI for the company includes remeasurement of defined benefit plans and fair value of equity instruments.
Deferred tax assets
Under previous GAAP, deferred tax assets have not been recognised as there was no virtual certainity supported by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable income against such deferred tax assets can be realised. Under Ind AS, as concept of virtual certainty does not exist, the deferred tax assets has to be recognised. Accordingly, deferred tax assets is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Redeemable preference shares
The company has issued non convertible non cumulative redeemable preference shares. Under previous GAAP, the preference shares were classified as equity. Under Ind AS, preference shares are classified as liability based on the terms of the contract. Thus, the preference share capital is reduced by Rs. 858 Lakhs as at March 31, 2017 (April 1, 2016 Rs. 858 Lakhs) with a corresponding increase in borrowings as liability component.
Effect of transition to Ind AS on cash flow statement for the year ended March 31, 2017
Ind AS adjustments are either non cash adjustments or are regrouping among the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and has no impact on the net cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2017 as compared with the previous GAAP
