Provisions are recognised for present obligation (legal
or constructive) of certain timing or amount arising as
a result of past event where a reliable estimate can be
made and it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation.
When it is not probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required or the
amount cannot be estimated reliably the obligation
is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the
possibility of outflow of resources embodying
economic benefit is remote.
Possible obligations, whose existence will only be
confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of
one or more uncertain future events, not wholly
with in the control of entity are also disclosed as
contingent liabilities.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are
disclosed in notes.
Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when
the realization of income is virtually certain, then the
related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is
recognised as an asset.
The Company''s operating segments are established
on the basis of those components of the company
that are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors
(the ''Chief Operating Decision Maker'' as defined in
Ind AS 108 - ''Operating Segments''), in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or
loss and is measured consistently with the profit or
loss in the financial statements.
The Operating Segments have been identified on the
basis of the nature of products/services.
a) Segment revenue includes sales and other
income directly identifiable with/allocable to the
segment including inter segment revenue.
b) Expenses that are directly identifiable with/
allocable to segments are considered
for determining the segment results.
Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole
and not allocable to segments are included under
unallocable expenditure.
c) Income which relates to the Company as a whole
and not allocable to segments are included under
unallocable income.
d) Segment result includes margin on inter segment
sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit
before tax of the Company.
e) Segment assets & liabilities include those
directly identifiable with the respective segments.
Unallocable assets & liabilities represent the
assets and liabilities that relate to the Company
as a whole and not allocable to any segment.
Inter-Segment transfer pricing
Segment revenue resulting from transactions with
other business segments is accounted on the basis
of transfer price agreed between the segments.
Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a
desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis and
are on an arm''s length basis in a manner similar to
transactions with third parties.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the
net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during
the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for
events, such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights
issue and shares split that have changed the number
of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources. For the purpose of calculating
Diluted Earnings per share, the net profit or loss for
the period attributable to the equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period is adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby profit for the year 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 considers all
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
Borrowings are initially recognised at net of
transaction costs incurred and measured at amortised
cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption amount is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over
the period of the borrowings using the effective
interest method.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable
on a specific date are classified as liabilities.
The dividend on these preference shares is recognised
in Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of qualifying assets, which
are assets that necessarily take a substantial period
of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are
added to the cost of the assets, until such time as
the assets are substantially ready for their intended
use or sale. Borrowing costs consist of interest and
other costs that an entity incurs in connection with
the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes
exchange differences to the extent regarded as an
adjustment to the borrowing costs.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in Statement
of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The Company measures financial instruments, such
as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. The fair value measurement is
based on the presumption that the transaction to sell
the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
⢠In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
⢠In the absence of a principal market, in most
advantageous market for the asset or liability and
the Company has access to the principal or the
most advantageous market.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured
using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that
market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset
takes into account a market participant''s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in
its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its
highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value,
maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is
measured or disclosed in the financial statements are
categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described
as follows, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the
financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between
levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation
(based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of
each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company
has determined classes of assets & liabilities on the
basis of the nature, characteristics and the risks of
the asset or liability and the level of the fair value
hierarchy as explained above. This note summarizes
accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related
disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
The Company considers all highly liquid financial
instruments, which are readily convertible into known
amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant
risk of change in value and having original maturities
of three months or less from the date of purchase,
to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted
for withdrawal and usage.
For the purposes of the presentation of cash flow
statement, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with
banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are
repayable on demand, book overdraft as they being
considered as integral part of the Company''s cash
management system.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to
a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity.
All financial assets and liabilities are initially
measured at fair value except for trade receivables
which are initially measured at transaction price.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial
liabilities, which are not classified as subsequently
measured at fair value through profit or loss, are
adjusted to the fair value on initial measurement.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial
assets are classified in following categories:
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if
it is held within a business model whose objective
is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual
cash flows and the contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
b) Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is
held within a business model whose objective
is achieved by both collecting contractual
cash flows and selling financial assets and the
contractual terms of the financial asset give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding. Interest income
for these financial assets is included in other
income using the effective interest rate method.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of
the above categories are measured at FVTPL.
B. Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are
measured at fair value. Where the company decided to
make an irrevocable election to present the fair value
gain and loss (excluding dividend) on non-current
equity investments in other comprehensive income,
there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gain
and loss to profit and loss even on sale of investments.
However, the group may transfer the cumulative gain
or loss within equity. The group makes such election
on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
The company elected to measure the investment in
subsidiary, associate and joint venture at cost.
The company assesses on a forward- looking basis
the expected credit losses associated with the
assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt
instruments. The impairment methodology applied
depends on whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk. If credit risk has increased
significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent
period, credit quality of the instrument improves such
that there is no longer a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts
to recognising impairment loss allowance based on
12-month Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Note No.41.6
details how the group determines whether there has
been significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables, the company applies the
simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109
"Financial Instruments" which requires expected life
time losses to be recognised from initial recognition
of receivables. The Company uses historical default
rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio
of trade receivables. At every reporting date these
historical default rates are reviewed and changes in
the forward looking estimates are analysed
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value
and in case of loans, net of directly attributable cost.
Fees of recurring nature are directly recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using
the effective interest method. For trade and other
payables maturing within one year from the balance
sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair
value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the
transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.
A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability)
is derecognized from the Company''s Balance Sheet
when the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged or cancelled or expires.
F. Reclassification of financial assets
The company determines classification of financial
assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial
recognition, no reclassification is made for financial
assets which are equity instruments and financial
liabilities. For financial assets which are debt
instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is
a change in the business model for managing those
assets. Changes to the business model are expected
to be infrequent. The company''s senior management
determines change in the business model as a result
of external or internal changes which are significant
to the company''s operations. Such changes are
evident to external parties. A change in the business
model occurs when the company either begins or
ceases to perform an activity that is significant to
its operations. If the company reclassifies financial
assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively
from the reclassification date which is the first day
of the immediately next reporting period following
the change in business model. The company does
not restate any previously recognised gains, losses
(including impairment gains or losses) or interest.
G. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset
and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet
if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset
the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously.
The preparation of the financial statement in
conformity with Ind AS 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
recognised in the periods in which the results are
known / materialize.
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 current and / or future
periods are affected.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other
post-employment medical benefits and the present
value of the gratuity obligation are determined using
actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves
making various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These include
the determination of the discount rate, future salary
increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities
involved in the valuation and its long-term nature,
a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to
changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are
reviewed at each reporting date. (Refer note 2.10)
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial
liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be
measured based on quoted prices in active markets,
their fair value is measured using valuation techniques
including the DCF model. The inputs to these models
are taken from observable markets where possible, but
where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is
required in establishing fair values. Judgements include
considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit
risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about
these factors could affect the reported fair value of
financial instruments. (Refer note 2.17)
The Preparation of the Company''s financial statements
requires management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the
accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities.
The following are the critical judgements, apart from
those involving estimations that the Management
have made in the process of applying the
Company''s accounting policies and that have most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements.
Valuation of Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent
it is considered probable that those assets will be
recoverable. This involves an assessment of when
those deferred tax assets are likely to reverse and a
judgment as to whether or not there will be sufficient
taxable profits available to offset the tax assets when
they do reverse. The Company reviews the carrying
amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each
reporting period. Any change in the estimates of
future taxable income may impact the recoverability
of deferred tax assets (Refer note 2.11.).
Key source of estimation uncertainty at the date of
the financial statements, which may cause a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect
of impairment of investments, provisions and
contingent liabilities.
The areas involving critical estimates are:
Useful lives and residual values of property, plant
and equipment
Useful life and residual value of property, plant and
equipment are based on management''s estimate of
the expected life and residual value of those assets.
These estimates are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period. Any reassessment of these may
result in change in depreciation expense for future
years (Refer note no 2.5).
The recoverable amount of the assets has been
determined on the basis of their value in use.
For estimating the value in use it is necessary to project
the future cash flow of assets over its estimated useful
life. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying
amount, the impairment loss is accounted for in
statement of profit or loss. (Refer note no 2.5).
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period
when it becomes probable that there will be a future
outflow of funds resulting from past operations or
events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably
estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification
of the liability requires the application of judgement
to existing facts and circumstances, which can be
subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions
and liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to
take account of changing facts and circumstances.
Company has only one class of Equity shares having a face value of C10/-. Each holder of Equity shares is entitled to one
vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors
is subject to approval of shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. The holder of equity shares is entitled to
receive dividend only after distribution of dividend to the holders of Preference Shares, if any.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the
company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of shares held
by the equity shareholders.
This reserve represents undistributed accumulated earnings of the Company as on the balance sheet date.
This represents appropriation of profit after tax by the company.
Amount received on issue of shares in excess of the par value has been classified as securities premium. The reserve is
utilised in accordance with the provision of the companies Act, 2013.
Preference share capital redemption reserve
Preference Share Capital Redemption reserve is created against the redemption of Cumulative Preference Shares.
Capital reserve
Capital reserve arises from erstwhile amalgamation of Asian Knitwear''s Limited with the Company.
This reserve represents the cumulative effective portion of changes in Fair Value of derivatives that are designated as
Cash Flow Hedges. It will be reclassified to profit or loss or included in the carrying amount of the non-financial asset in
accordance with the Company''s accounting policy.
(iii) All secured loans are repayable in quarterly installments except ECLGS 1,2 and 2 (extention) which are repayable on
monthly installments basis.
(iv) Unsecured loan from related party, carries a rate of interest of 9.25% per annum on mutually agreed terms between
both the parties, repayable in 6 years by way of twelve(12) equal quarterly installments after a moratorium period of
3 years (previous year loan is repayable in 5 years by way of eight (8) equal quarterly installments after a moratorium
period of 3 years).
(v) Some of the lenders follow the practice to recover suo motto, payment of both principal as well as interest repayable
on credit facilities from the working capital facilities availed by the company, under instructions from the Company. It is
regarded as accepted practice that the due date for payment shall be the date next following the date when interest
is charged. Any delay on part of the lender to recover payment, either in line with past practice or specific instructions
given in this regard by the Company, is not attributable to default on part of the Company Accordingly, there is no
default in repayment of the principal and interest repayable on credit facilities.
(vi) Working capital loan from banks, repayable on demand, are secured by way of hypothecation through first charge,
ranking pari-passu, on stocks of raw material, stock in process, finished goods, book debts / receivables and all current
assets stored in the company''s factory premises, at all plants and / or elsewhere including those in transit covered by
documents of title thereto, local and export usance bills and second charge on pari-passu basis on the entire movable
and immovable assets of the Company (fixed assets), both present and future.
(vii) Working capital facilities from banks, are secured by pledge of stipulated promoter''s equity shareholding, constituting
36% of the issued equity capital, in favour of lenders on pari-passu basis.
(viii) Due to Covid-19 pandemic, Govt. notified the scheme of ECLGS 1, 2 & 2 (extension) to mitigate the working capital
crisis and as per scheme, during the year company have been sanctioned and received a Loan of C NIL. (previous year
C337.00 Lakh )
Basic earnings per equity share has been computed by dividing net profit after tax by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding for the year.
The Company is currently operating into three business segments i.e., Yarn, Fabric and Garment. These segments offer
different products and require different technology and marketing strategies.
The Board of Directors has been identified as Chief Operation Decision Maker who monitors the operating results of its
business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial
statements. Accounting policy in respect of segments is in conformity with accounting policy of the company as a whole.
Inter segment Transfer
Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted for on the basis of transfer
price agreed between the segments. Transfer prices between operating segments are on arm''s length basis in a manner
similar to transactions with third parties.
Segment Revenue & Results
The Revenue and Expenditures in relation to the respective segments have been identified and allocated to the extent
possible. Other revenue and expenditures non allocable to specific segments are disclosed separately as unallocated and
adjusted directly against total income of the Company.
Segment Assets & Liabilities
Segment Assets includes all operating assets used by the operating segment and mainly consists of property, plant &
equipment, trade receivables, inventory and cash & cash equivalents etc. Segment Liabilities primarily include trade payables
and other liabilities. Common assets & liabilities which can not be allocated to specific segments are shown as a part of
net unallocable assets/liabilities.
The Company makes contributions towards provident fund and superannuation fund, to defined contribution retirement
benefit plans for qualifying employees. The provident fund plan is operated by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner
and the Superannuation fund is administered by Trustees of ''Maral Overseas Limited Senior Executive Superannuation
Fund''. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement
benefit schemes to fund the employee benefits.
The Company makes annual contributions towards funding the defined benefit plans for qualifying employees and also
contributes towards the insurance scheme of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co. Ltd. The scheme provides for lump sum
payment to vested employees on retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment, an amount
equivalent to 15 days salary (last drawn monthly salary) payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess
of six months. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service.
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most
relevant data available. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are recognised at the amount that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1) Fair value of cash and deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current financial assets and liabilities
measured at amortised cost is approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of
these instruments. The fair value of other non-current financial assets and liabilities (security deposit taken/given
and advance to employees) carried at amortized cost is approximately equal to fair value. Hence carrying value and
fair value is taken same.
2) Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables / borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters
such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, credit risk and other risk characteristics. Fair value of variable
interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying values. For fixed interest rate borrowing fair value is determined
by using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the issuer''s borrowings rate. Risk of
non-performance for the company is considered to be insignificant in valuation.
3) The fair values of derivatives are estimated by using pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based
on readily observable market parameters basis contractual terms, period to maturity, and market parameters such
as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and volatility. These models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as
the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement, and inputs thereto are readily observable from
actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its
derivative counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.
4) The fair values of the quoted equity shares have been done on quoted price of stock exchange as on reporting date.
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks which includes market risk (including currency risk, interest
rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company''s focus is to ensure liquidity which is sufficient to meet the Company''s operational requirements.
The Company monitors and manages key financial risks so as to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial
performance. The Company has a risk management policy which covers the risks associated with the financial assets
and liabilities. The details for managing each of these risks are summarised ahead.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market prices, which comprises of three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as
equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings,
deposits, investments, and derivative financial instruments.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rate.
The Company derives significant portion of its revenue in foreign currency, exposing it to fluctuations in currency
movements. The Company has laid down a foreign exchange risk policy as per which senior management team reviews
and manages the foreign exchange risks in a systematic manner, including regular monitoring of exposures, proper advice
from market experts, hedging of exposures, etc.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate foreign
exchange related risk exposures. Derivative financial instruments relating to a firm commitment or a highly probable
forecast transaction, are marked to market at every reporting date. The company does not use forward contracts for
speculative purposes.
In management''s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the
exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
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. In order to optimize the Company''s position with regard to interest income and interest
expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management
by balancing the proportion of the fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio .
The company''s exposure to price risk arises from the investment held by the company . To manage its price risk arising from
investments in marketable securities, the company has very limited exposure and is done in accordance with the company''s
policy. The company''s major investments are actively traded in markets. Therefore no sensivity is provided for the same.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the company. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking
into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of
accounts receivable.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of assets and whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is significant increase
in credit risk, it considers reasonable and supportive forward looking information such as:
i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business;
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty;
iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty''s ability to meet
its obligation;
iv) Significant increase in credit risk and other financial instruments of the same counterparty;
v) Significant changes in the value of collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third party guarantees or
credit enhancements.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the company''s short, medium, and long-term funding and
liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking
facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching
the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of
changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The objective of hedges is to minimize the volatility of Ccash
flows of highly probable forecast transaction. The Company''s risk management policy is to hedge around 70% to 90% of
net exposure with forward exchange contract, having a maturity up to 12 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness
assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including
whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), The MCA notified Ind AS 117 on 9 September 2024 to be applicable from 1
April 2024. However, the same was withdrawn vide notification dated 28 September2024 wherein the applicability of Ind
AS 117 was made subject to notification of IRDAI. IRDAI has not notified Ind AS 117. Therefore, as of now, Ind AS 117 has
been issued but from when it will be applicable is uncertain. The company is evaluating the impactof the standard on its
balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and statement of cash flows.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide its notification no. G.S.R. 291(E) dated 7th May 2025 has issued an amendment to Ind
AS 21 providing guidance on determining exchange rate in case of lack of exchangeability. The amendment is effective
from 1 April 2025. In accordance with the amendment to Ind AS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability, the Company is required to
estimate the exchange rate using the most reliable inputs available in case there is lack of exchangeability. The currencies
in which the company has transacted during the current year or previous year were exchangeable into another currency
within a time frame that allows for a normal administrative delay and through a market or exchange mechanism.
Accordingly, the amendment to Ind AS 21 has no material impact on the financial position, financial performance and
cash flows of the company.
1 In terms of the Master Restructuring Agreement under the CDR Scheme, if, in the opinion of the Lenders, the profitability
and cash flows of the Company so warrant, the Lenders shall be entitled to right of recompense (ROR) for the reliefs
and sacrifices extended by lenders within the CDR mechanism. Since the company has paid recompense amount to
the lenders now there is no recompense amount payable.
The Company had only one class of Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (CRPS) having a par value of C100/-.
There were two series of CRPS, carrying differential dividend coupon rates.
First series of Preference Shares carrying a dividend coupon rate of 8% per annum, allotted to lending banks and
financial institutions, pursuant to the Corporate Debt Restructuring (''CDR'') Package, were redeemed in four equal
annual tranches during 2016-2019.
Second series of Preference Shares carrying a dividend coupon rate of 3% per annum, allotted to promoters, against
infusion of funds, pursuant to the Corporate Debt Restructuring (''CDR'') Package were redeemable in March 2019.
The company has taken necessary approvals from board of directors and shareholders for redemption of aforesaid
Preference Shares in two equal tranches during 2019-2020. First tranche of C600 Lakh were redeemed in March 2019
and for second tranche which was becoming due in March 2020, approval for extension of one (1) year towards
redemption was taken, from the board of directors on 08th August 2019 and from shareholders in the annual general
meeting held on 19th September 2019. consequently the same were to be redeemed in March 2021. The maturity period
of redemption of second tranche of aforesaid CRPS was further extended for a period of one year i.e. from March 2021
to 31 March 2022 after approval was obtained from board of directors in their meeting held on 07th August 2020 and
shareholders accorded approval in the annual general meeting held on 29th September 2020. In the 2021-22, the
second tranche of aforesaid CRPS of C600.00 Lakh was redeemed.
The Company declares and pays dividend in Indian rupees only. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is
subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. Each holder of Preference Shares is
entitled to one vote per share only on resolutions placed before the company which directly affect the rights attached
to Preference Shares. The holders of Preference Shares are entitled to a preferential right of repayment of capital

The provident fund plan is operated by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and the Superannuation fund is administered by Trustees of ''Maral Overseas Limited Senior Executive Superannuation Fund''. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the employee benefits.
The Company makes annual contributions towards funding the defined benefit plans for qualifying employees and also contributes towards the insurance scheme of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co. Ltd. The scheme provides for lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment, an amount equivalent to 15 days salary (last drawn monthly salary) payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date.

Sensitivities as to rate of inflation, rate of increase of pensions in payment, rate of increase of pensions before retirement & life expectancy are not applicable being a lump sum benefit on retirement.
viii) The estimates of future salary increase is considered in actuarial valuation, and also considered inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
ix) The employer ''s best estimate of contribution expected to be paid during the next year is C209.57 Lakh
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as Investment risk, salary risk, discount rate risk,
mortality risk, withdrawals risk.
Salary risk Actual salary increase will increase the Plan''s liability. Increase in assumption of salary
increase rate in future valuations will also increase the liability.
Investment risk If Plan is funded, then assets liabilities mismatch & actual return on investment assets is
lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date, can impact the liability
Discount rate risk Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan''s liability.
Mortality & disability risk Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation
can impact the liabilities.
Withdrawals Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of
withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact Plan''s liability.
The leave obligations cover the Company''s liability for sick and earned leave.
The amount of provision of C9.30 Lakh ( PY C6.63 Lakh) is presented as current liability, since the Company does not have
an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.
The transactions with the related parties are made on terms and conditions similar to those prevailing in arm''s length transactions. The assessment is under taken in each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and in the market in which the related party operates and outstanding balances are unsecured.
The primary objective of the Company''s Capital Management is to maximize the shareholder value and also maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital. In order to manage the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend to shareholders, return on capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.
The company monitors capital on the basis of following gearing ratio, which is net debt (net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by total equity plus net debt.
i) Debt is defined as long and short-term borrowings (excluding derivative, financial guarantee contracts), as described in notes Nos. 18 and 19.
ii) In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group''s 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 call loans and borrowings or charge some penal interest. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the current year and previous year.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value and measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of inputs used in determining fair values, the group has classified its financial instruments into three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are recognised at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Company''s asset and liabilities, for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Other techniques for which all the inputs have a significant effect on the recorded fair values are observable, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are recognised at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1) Fair value of cash and deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost is approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of other non-current financial assets and liabilities (security deposit taken/given and advance to employees) carried at amortized cost is approximately equal to fair value. Hence carrying value and fair value is taken same.
2) Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables / borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, credit risk and other risk characteristics. Fair value of variable interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying values. For fixed interest rate borrowing fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the issuer''s borrowings rate. Risk of non-performance for the company is considered to be insignificant in valuation.
3) The fair values of derivatives are estimated by using pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on readily observable market parameters basis contractual terms, period to maturity, and market parameters such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and volatility. These models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement, and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivative counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.
4) The fair values of the quoted equity shares have been done on quoted price of stock exchange as on reporting date.
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks which includes market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company''s focus is to ensure liquidity which is sufficient to meet the Company''s operational requirements. The Company monitors and manages key financial risks so as to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Company has a risk management policy which covers the risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The details for managing each of these risks are summarised ahead.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, which comprises of three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments, and derivative financial instruments.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate.
The Company derives significant portion of its revenue in foreign currency, exposing it to fluctuations in currency movements. The Company has laid down a foreign exchange risk policy as per which senior management team reviews and manages the foreign exchange risks in a systematic manner, including regular monitoring of exposures, proper advice from market experts, hedging of exposures, etc.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. Derivative financial instruments relating to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction, are marked to market at every reporting date. The company does not use forward contracts for speculative purposes.
In management''s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
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. In order to optimize the Company''s position with regard to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of the fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.
The company''s exposure to price risk arises from the investment held by the company . To manage its price risk arising from investments in marketable securities, the company has very limited exposure and is done in accordance with the company''s policy. The company''s major investments are actively traded in markets. Therefore no sensivity is provided for the same.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of assets and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk, it considers reasonable and supportive forward looking information such as:
i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business;
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty;
iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty''s ability to meet its obligation;
iv) Significant increase in credit risk and other financial instruments of the same counterparty;
v) Significant changes in the value of collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third party guarantees or credit enhancements.
The company''s major exposure is from trade receivables, which are unsecured and derived from external customer Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the company generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in quoted securities and certificates of deposit which are funds deposited with the bank for a specified time period etc. Other loans are majorly provided to the employees which have very minimal risk of loss.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the company''s short, medium, and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following table detail the company''s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the company may be required to pay.
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The objective of hedges is to minimize the volatility of C cash flows of highly probable forecast transaction. The Company''s risk management policy is to hedge around 70% to 90% of net exposure with forward exchange contract, having a maturity up to 12 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs("MCA") notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31st March, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

6. Employee Benefits
A Defined Contribution plans
The Company makes contributions towards provident fund and superannuation fund, to defined contribution retirement benefit plans for qualifying employees. The provident fund plan is operated by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and the superannuation fund is administered by the Trustees of the âMaral Overseas Limited Senior Executive Superannuation Fundâ. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the benefits.
B Defined Benefit plans
The Company makes annual contributions towards funding the defined benefit plans for qualifying employees and also contributes towards the insurance scheme of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co. Ltd.The scheme provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary (last drawn salary) payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date.
Sensitivities due to mortality and withdrawals are not material & hence impact of change not calculated.
Sensitivities as to rate of inflation, rate of increase of pensions in payment, rate of increase of pensions before retirement & life expectancy are not applicable being a lump sum benefit on retirement.
xi. The estimates of future salary increase considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. The above information is certified by the actuary and relied upon by the auditors.
xii. The employer âs best estimate of contribution expected to be paid during the next year is Rs. 128.81 lakhs.
Sensitivities due to mortality and withdrawals are not material & hence impact of change not calculated.
Sensitivities as to rate of inflation, rate of increase of pensions in payment, rate of increase of pensions before retirement & life expectancy are not applicable being a lump sum benefit on retirement.
viii. The estimates of future salary increase considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. The above information is certified by the actuary and relied upon by the auditors.
ix. The employer âs best estimate of contribution expected to be paid during the next year is Rs. 77.47 lakhs
These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as Investment risk, salary risk, discount rate risk, mortality risk, withdrawals risk.
Salary risk Actual salary increases will increase the Planâs liability. Increase in salary increase rate assumption in future valuations will also increase the liability.
Investment risk If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability
Discount rate risk Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the planâs liability.
Mortality & disability risk Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.
Withdrawals Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal rates at subsequent valuations can impact Planâs liability.
B.3. Defined Benefit plans- Leave Obligations
The leave obligations cover the Companyâs liability for sick and earned leave.
The amount of the provision Rs. 1.57 lakhs of (31st March, 2017- Rs. 1.77 lakhs, 1st April 2016- Rs. 23.15 lakhs ) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.
7.1 Terms and Conditions
The transactions with the related parties are made on term equivalent to those that prevail in armâs length transactions. The assessment is under taken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and in the market in which the related party operates. Outstanding balances are unsecured and the settlement will be occured in cash.
8. Financial Instruments
8.1 Capital Management
The primary objective of the Companyâs Capital Management is to maximize the shareholder value and also maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce cost of capital. In order to manage the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend paid to shareholders, return on capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debts.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of following gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus debt.
Note:
i. Debt is defined as long and short-term borrowings (excluding derivative, financial guarantee contracts), as described in notes 19 and 20.
ii. In order to achieve this overall objective, the Groupâs 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 call loans and borrowings or charge some penal interest. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the current years and previous years.
8.2 Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value and measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of inputs used in determining fair values, the group has classified its financial instruments into three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
The fair value 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.
8.2.2 Valuation techniques used to determine Fair value
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1) Fair value of cash and deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of other non-current financial assets and liabilities (security deposit taken/given and advance to employees) carried at amortized cost is approximately equal to fair value. Hence carrying value and fair value is taken same.
2) Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables / borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, credit risk and other risk characteristics. Fair value of variable interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying values. For fixed interest rate borrowing fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the issuerâs borrowings rate. Risk of non-performance for the company is considered to be insignificant in valuation.
3) The fair values of derivatives are estimated by using pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on readily observable market parameters basis contractual terms, period to maturity, and market parameters such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and volatility. These models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement, and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivative counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.
8.2.3 Fair Value Measurement Heirarchy
The fair value 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 following provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Companyâs asset and liabilities, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Other techniques for which all the inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair values are observable, either directly or indirectly
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
8.3 Financial risk management
The Companyâs activities expose it to a variety of financial risks which includes market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Companyâs focus is to ensure liquidity which is sufficient to meet the Companyâs operational requirements. The Company monitors and manages key financial risks so as to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Company has a risk management policy which covers the risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities. The details for managing each of these risks are summarised ahead.
8.4 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments, and derivative financial instruments.
The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.
8.4.1 Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate.
The Company derives significant portion of its revenue in foreign currency, exposing it to fluctuations in currency movements. The Company has laid down a foreign exchange risk policy as per which senior management team reviews and manages the foreign exchange risks in a systematic manner, including regular monitoring of exposures, proper advice from market experts, hedging of exposures, etc.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. Derivative financial instruments relating to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction, are marked to market at every reporting date.
In managementâs opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.
8.4.2 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. In order to optimize the Companyâs position with regard to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of the fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio .
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point increase or decrease represents managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the companyâs: profit for the year ended 31 March, 2018 would decrease/increase by Rs. 18.63 lakhs (31 March, 2017: decrease/increase by Rs. 17.22 lakhs). This is mainly attributable to the companyâs exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
8.4.3 Price risks
The companyâs exposure to price risk arises from the investment held by the company . To manage its price risk arising from investments in marketable securities, the company diversifies its portfolio and is done in accordance with the company policy. The companyâs major investments are actively traded in markets and are held for short period of time. Therefore no sensitive is provided for the same.
8.5 Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of assets and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period. To assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk, it considers reasonable and supportice forward looking information such as:
(i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business.
(ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty.
(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterpartyâs ability to meet its obligation
(iv) Significant increase in credit risk anf other financial instruments of the same counterparty
(v) Significant changes in the value of collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third party guarantees or credit enhancements
The companyâs major exposure is from trade receivables, which are unsecured and derived from external customers. Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units, quoted securities and certificates of deposit which are funds deposited at a bank for a specified time period. Other loans are majorly provided to the subsidiaries and employee which have very minimal risk of loss.
Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits, continuous monitoring of creditworthiness of customers to which the company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company also assesses the financial reliability of customers taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables.
8.6 Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the companyâs short, medium, and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following tables detail the companyâs remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the company can be required to pay.
8.7 Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The objective of hedges is to minimize the volatility of INR cash flows of highly probable forecast transaction. The Companyâs risk management policy is to hedge around 70% to 90% of net exposure with forward exchange contract, having a maturity upto 12 months.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Following table demonstrate the sensitivity in the foreign exchange rate ( USD & EURO) to the Indian Rupees wit all other variable held constant. The Impact on the other component of Equity arises from foreign forward exchange contract designated as cash flow hedge reserve is given below:
Notes to the reconciliaiton
1 Under previous GAAP, long term investments were measured at cost less diminution in value which is other than temporary.Under Ind AS, these financial assets have been classifies as FVTPL. On the date of transition to Ind AS, these financial assets have been measured at their fair value which is lower than the cost as per previous GAAP, resulting in an (decrease)/increase in the carrying amount by â (5.48) lakhs (as at March 31, 2017: Rs. 21.99 lakhs and as at April 1, 2016: Rs. 27.71 lakhs).
2 Under previous GAAP, actuarial gains and losses were recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses form part of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability/ asset which is recognised in other comprehensive income. Consequently, the tax effect of the same has also been recognised in other comprehensive income under Ind AS instead of the statement of profit and loss.
3 Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented exclusive of exise duty. Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusve of excise duty. Th excise duty paid is presented on the face of statement of profit and loss as part of expenses. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.
4 Previous GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deffered taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences, which was not required under previous GAAP.
5 Under Ind AS, effective portion of the cash flow hedge to be recognised in other comprehensive income and however in the previous GAAP same has been recognised under Reserve and Surplus under the head â Cash Flow Hedge Reserveâ.
6 The Company has isssued Cummulative redeemable preference shares. Under previous GAAP, the Preference shares were classifed as equity and dividend payable thereon was treated as distribution of profit. Under Ind AS, these prefeence shares are separated in to liability and equity component based on the terms of the contract. Interest on liability component is recognised using the effective interest method. These shares are classiifed as debt and dividend on shares along with dividend distribution tax has been recognised to statement of profit & loss as interest cost.
7 Under Previous GAAP, there was no concept of other comprehensive income. Under Ind AS, specified items of income, expenses, gains, or losses ae required to be presented in other comprehensive income.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration: On March 28, 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The amendment will come into force from April 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect of this on the financial statements.
Ind AS 115- Revenue from Contract 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 1, 2018.
The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2018 by using the cumulative catch-up transition method and accordingly comparatives for the year ending or ended March 31, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted. The company is evaluatng the effect on adoption of Ind AS 115.

instructions given in this regard by the Company, is not attributable
to default on part of the Company. Accordingly, there is no continuing
default in repayment of the principal loan and interest amounts.

the Corporate Debt Restructuring mechanism (CDR) by the CDR Empowered
group vide their letter dated March 26, 2009 (CDR letter) and

stipulated will be complied with in agreement with the CDR Monitoring
Committee of the lenders. Since some of the lenders were yet to give

as well as interest from the working capital facility advanced by them,
where applicable, or from the current account under instructions from

Madhya Pradesh precluding the local authorities from initiating any
action for recovery of wages after the date of closure. The Honble
High Court has referred matter to the Industrial Tribunal. The
Companys petition before the Honble High Court challenging the terms

filed a Special Leave Petition before the Honble Supreme Court and
obtained stay on further proceedings of the Industrial Tribunal Court.

9) Adjustment relating to previous year includes Expenses Rs.3.22 lacs
and Income Rs. Nil (Previous period Expenses Rs.202.20 lacs and Income
Rs.10.44 lacs).

Deferred taxes arise because of difference in treatment between
financial accounting and tax accounting, known as "Timing differences".
The tax effect of these timing differences is recorded as "deferred tax
assets" (generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit
in future periods) and "deferred tax liabilities" (generally items for
which the Company has received a tax deduction, but have not yet been
recorded in the statement of income).
Recognition of deferred tax assets has been restricted to the extent of

timing differences giving rise to deferred tax liabilities, the
management believes there is requisite degree of virtual certainty that
the deferred tax assets, to the extent recognized, would be realised.
