2. Basis of Preparation, Measurement and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Basis of Preparation and Measurement

(i) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with and in compliance, in all material aspect with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) read along with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended by Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 and other relevant provisions of the Act.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated. All assets and liabilities are classified into current and noncurrent generally based on the criteria of realisation/ settlement within a twelve month period from the balance sheet date.

B. Recent Accounting Developments:

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, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standard or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

C. Significant Accounting Policies:

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the standalone financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

a. Foreign currency transactions and translations

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the standalone financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees ("), which is the functional currency of the Company.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions and translations

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at year end rate. Any resultant exchange differences are taken to the statement of profit and loss, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction.

b. Property, Plant and Equipment

“Property, plant and equipment” are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credit availed, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognises the replaced part, and recognises the new part with its own associated useful life and it is depreciated accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognisation criteria is satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. “Internally manufactured property, plant and equipment” are capitalised at factory cost, including excise duty/ GST, whenever applicable.“Capital work-in-progress” includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation/ development as at the balance sheet date. Property, plant and equipment are eliminated from financial statement, either on disposal or retire from active use. Losses arising in the case of retirement of property, plant and equipment and gains or losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. “Depreciation” on straight line method on the property, plant and equipment is provided over the useful life of assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Property, plant and equipment which are added/ disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the day of addition/ deletion.

c. Investment Properties

Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that are not occupied by the Company, are classified as Investment Property. These are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Subsequent expenditure related to investment properties are added to its book value only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Investment properties being leasehold properties are depreciated over the remaining period of lease period on proportionate basis.

d. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest possible levels for which there are independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). Prior impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill) are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment.

e. Financial Instruments: Financial Assets

Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value, in case of financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction costs are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset. Financial Assets are subsequently classified as measured at:

• amortised cost

• fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

• fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Trade Receivables: Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, these assets are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate (EIR) method net of any expected credit losses. The EIR is the rate that discounts estimated future cash income through the expected life of financial instrument.

Debt instruments: Debt instruments are initially measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’) till derecognition on the basis of (i) the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and (ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Measured at amortised cost: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments: All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are initially measured at fair value, the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument is recognised as other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Amounts recognised in OCI are not subsequently reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition: The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.

Impairment of Financial Asset: Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials assets in FVTPL category. For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind-AS 109, the Company recognises 12 months expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. The Company’s trade receivables do not contain significant financing component and loss allowance on trade receivables, is measured at an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e. expected cash shortfall. The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial Liabilities:

Initial recognition and measurement: Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method (EIR).

Subsequent measurement: Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit and loss statement are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition: A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

f. Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures

Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted at cost less impairment loss, if any, in the separate financial statements.

g. Fair value measurement

The Company classifies the fair value of its financial instruments in the following hierarchy, based on the Inputs used in their valuation

i) Level 1 - The fair value of financial instruments quoted in active markets is based on their quoted closing price at the balance sheet date.

ii) Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques using observable market data. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, standard valuation models based on market parameters for interest rates, yield curves or foreign exchange rates, dealer quotes for similar instruments and use of comparable arm’s length transactions.

iii) Level 3 - The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

h. Inventory

Real Estate: Valued at lower of cost including other attributable expenses or market realisable value.

Shares: Initially it is recorded at purchases price. At year end, it is measured at lower of cost or market value, in case of quoted shares and at lower of cost or book value in case of unquoted shares. Resultant profit or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Finished Goods: Finished goods has been valued at lower of cost or market realisable value. Work-in-Progress: Work-in-progress has been valued at cost incurred up to the stage of completion.

Raw/ Packing Material: Valued at cost.

i. Employee Benefits

(i) Short Term Employee Benefits

All employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the service are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii) Post Employment Benefits

Gratuity Plans: Gratuity is payable to all eligible employees of the Company on death, permanent disablement and resignation in terms of the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or as per the Company’s Scheme, whichever is more beneficial to the employees. Benefit would be paid at the time of separation based on the last drawn basic salary.

Leave Encashment: Eligible employees can carry forward and encash leave up to death, permanent disablement and resignation subject to maximum accumulation allowed as applicable to the concerned division of the Company or individual employee, highest being up to 88 days. Leave accumulated in excess of accumulation allowed will be liable to lapsed. However leave encashment will be allowed at the time of termination of employment for whatsoever reason.

Both benefits are determined through independent actuarial valuation at year end and charged to statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Termination Benefits

Termination Benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they are incurred.

j. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

k. Income Tax

(i) Current Income Tax

Current Income Tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961.

(ii) Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the tax are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current income tax/deferred tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

l. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts stated net of discounts, GST, other taxes and returns. The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities, as described below. The Company bases its estimate of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

(i) Sale of goods and services

Sales are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer as per the terms of contract, which generally coincides with the delivery of the product. Income and fees from services are accounted as per terms of relevant contractual agreements /arrangements. The products are often sold with sales related discounts such as volume discounts, customer rebates, trade support and listing costs and consumer promotional activities as billed by customers. Sales are recorded based on the price specified in the sales contracts, net of the estimated discounts/rebates and returns at the time of sale. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns.

(ii) Rental Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

(iii) Interest Income and Dividend Income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

m. Leases

In view of the implementation of Ind As 116, from 1 April 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the company. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) and variable lease payment, if any, that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the company, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the company:

a) Where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received.

b) Uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the company, which does not have recent third-party financing, and

c) Makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right of use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

a) the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,

b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentive received, and

c) any initial direct costs

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straightline basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

The Company as Lessor

The Company classifies leases as either operating or finance lease. A lease is classified as a financial lease if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the Asset to the lessee, and classifies it as an operating lease otherwise.

n. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs consist of interest, ancillary and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and interest relating to other financial liabilities. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

o. Exceptional Items

Exceptional items are disclosed separately in the financial statements where it is necessary to do so to provide further understanding of the financial performance of the Company. These are material items of income or expense that have to be shown separately due to their nature or incidence.

p. Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

q. Segment Reporting

Segments are identified based on the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews performance. Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill. “Unallocated Corporate Expenses” include revenue and expenses that relate to initiatives/costs attributable to the enterprise as a whole and are not attributable to segments.

r. Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liabilities exist when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence obligation arising from past events, the existence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are appropriately disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised in financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognised.

s. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flow, comprises of cash at bank, in hand, bank overdrafts and short term highly liquid investments/bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

t. Events after the reporting period

Adjusting events are events that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements are adjusted for such events before authorisation for issue. Non-adjusting events are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period. Non-adjusting events after the reporting date are not accounted, but disclosed.

u. Key accounting judgement, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to exercise judgment and to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:

1. Depreciation

Depreciation is based on management’s estimate of the future useful lives of the Property, Plant and Equipments and Investment Properties. Estimates may change due to technological developments, competition, changes in market conditions and other factors and may result in changes in the estimated useful life and in the depreciation and amortisation charges.

2. Employee Benefits

The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using various assumptions. One of the critical assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for these obligations include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of retirement benefit obligations.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

All financial instruments are required to be fair valued as at the balance sheet date, as provided in Ind-AS 109 and 113.

Being a critical estimate, judgement is exercised to determine the carrying values. The fair value of financial instruments that are unlisted and not traded in an active market is determined at fair values assessed based on recent transactions entered into with third parties, based on valuation done by external appraisers etc., as applicable.

C. Significant Accounting Policies:

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the standalone financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

a. Foreign currency transactions and translations

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the standalone financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of

the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (functional currency ). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees ("), which is the functional currency of the Company.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions and translations

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at year end rate. Any resultant exchange differences are taken to the statement of profit and loss, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction.

b. Property, Plant and Equipment

“Property, plant and equipment” are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credit availed, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company derecognises the replaced part, and recognises the new part with its own associated useful life and it is depreciated accordingly. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognisation criteria is satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of the asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. “Internally manufactured property, plant and equipment” are capitalised at factory cost, including excise duty/ GST, whenever applicable.“Capital work-in-progress” includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation/ development as at the balance sheet date. Property, plant and equipment are eliminated from financial statement, either on disposal or retire from active use. Losses arising in the case of retirement of property, plant and equipment and gains or losses arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. “Depreciation” on straight line method on the property, plant and equipment is provided over the useful life of assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Property, plant and equipment which are added/ disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the day of addition/ deletion.

c. Investment Properties

Properties that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that are not occupied by the Company, are classified as Investment Property. These are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Subsequent expenditure related to investment properties are added to its book value only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Investment properties being leasehold properties are depreciated over the remaining period of lease period on proportionate basis.

d. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest possible levels for which there are independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). Prior impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill) are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment.

e. Financial Instruments: Financial Assets

Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value, in case of financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction costs are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset. Financial Assets are subsequently classified as measured at:

• amortised cost

• fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

• fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Trade Receivables: Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, these assets are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate (EIR) method net of any expected credit losses. The EIR is the rate that discounts estimated future cash income through the expected life of financial instrument.

Debt instruments: Debt instruments are initially measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’) till derecognition on the basis of (i) the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and (ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Measured at amortised cost: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments: All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are initially measured at fair value, the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument is recognised as other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Amounts recognised in OCI are not subsequently reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition: The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.

Impairment of Financial Asset: Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials assets in FVTPL category. For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind-AS 109, the Company recognises 12 month expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. The Company’s trade receivables do not contain significant financing component and loss allowance on trade receivables, is measured at an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e. expected cash shortfall. The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial Liabilities:

Initial recognition and measurement: Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method (EIR).

Subsequent measurement: Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit and loss statement are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition: A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

f. Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures

Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted at cost less impairment loss, if any, in the separate financial statements.
