Accounting Policies of Rathi Steel & Power Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2. SIGNIFICANT A CCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements:

The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting standards (Ind AS)
notified under the companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 and Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2016, the
provisions of Companies Act, 2013, and guidelines issued by the securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or
a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) Amount.

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest rupees as required, unless otherwise
stated.

b) Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with Ind AS requires Management to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions. The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses during reporting period. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in
which the results are known/ materialized.

c) Critical accounting judgments, assumptions and key sources of estimation and uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the measurement principle of Ind AS requires management
to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates
could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are
made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the
actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized and, if material, their
effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

In particular, following are the significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in standalone financial statements:

Assessment of useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset-refer note no j below.

Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of
certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes.

Claims are accounted for on determination of certainty of realization thereof.

Impairment allowances for on trade receivables: The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that
trade receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the
customers to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance,
credit-worthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience.

Provisions and Contingencies

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. Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of
contingencies/claim/litigations/ against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with

accuracy. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and
revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.

d) Current v/s non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset is
treated as current when it is:

• Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

• It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

The Company has deemed its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current / noncurrent classification.

e) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the
provisions of contract with the customer. This is achieved when it no longer retains control over the goods sold, the amount
of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to
the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Sale of goods
and services is recognized net of taxes.

The performance obligation in case of sale of goods is satisfied at a point in time i.e., when the material is shipped to the
customer or on delivery to the customer, as may be specified in the contract.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to
the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividend income is accounted for on receipt of payment.

Job work Charges / Conversion charges received are recognized at net of taxes and reported under revenue from Sales /
Services.

Insurance Claim, if any, is accrued in the year when the right to receive is established and is recognized to the extent there
is no uncertainty about its ultimate collection.

f) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and also
whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognized in the previous periods. If any indication exists or
when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment
loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset or Cash-Generating Unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal
and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash
inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is
written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into
account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used

g) Impairment of Financial Assets

In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition
of impairment loss.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The
application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

h) Inventories:

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories is determined on weighted average
basis and comprises of expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such inventories to their location
and includes, where applicable appropriate overheads.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

i) Cash and cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits, which are
subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits as defined
above as they are considered as an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period 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.

j) Property, Plant And Equipment

Leasehold land has been revalued as on 31 st March, 1992. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of
recoverable taxes, trade discounts and rebates less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.

The cost of tangible assets comprises its purchase price, borrowing cost, Trial run Costs, any costs directly attributable to
bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management, initial estimation of any decommissioning obligations and finance cost.

When significant parts of the property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company
derecognizes the replaced part and recognizes the new part with its own associated useful life and depreciated accordingly.

Stores and spares which meet the definition of property, plant and equipment and satisfy recognition criteria of Ind AS 16
are capitalized as property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or
when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included
in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

Capital work-in-progress, if any, includes cost of property, plant and equipment which are not ready for their intended use.

The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end and changes,
if any, are accounted prospectively.

Depreciation on the property, plant and equipment is provided over the useful life of assets as specified in Schedule II to
the Companies Act, 2013 using straight line method on single shift basis. Property, plant and equipment which are
added/disposed of during the year, depreciation is provided on pro rata basis with reference to the month of
addition/deletion.

k) Investments

Trade Investments are the investments meant to enhance the company’s interest. Investments are classified as current or
non-current based on the management’s intention at the time of investment. Long-term investments are stated at cost.
Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investment is made only if such a decline is permanent in nature.

l) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost
of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All
other borrowing costs are charged revenue.

m) Current Tax and Deferred Tax:

Current Tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year, determined in accordance with the provisions
of the Income Tax Act,1961.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance
sheet and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses
being carried forward, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in future against which those
deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized
if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in
a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not
recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. In view of losses incurred in preceding
previous years, company has not calculated deffered tax.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it
is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability
is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end
of the reporting period.

n) Retirement benefits

Actual liability for gratuity is provided in respect of eligible employees. Other employees’ benefits are accounted for as
per Company’s policy.

o) Foreign exchange transactions

Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. All
monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. All
exchange differences arising on translation of monetary items are dealt with in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Rathi Steel And Power Limited (the Company) is a public limited company incorporated in 1971 and engaged in the business of Steel and Steel related products.

2. SIGNIFICANT A CCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements:

The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting standards (Ind AS) notified under the companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 and Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2016, the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, and guidelines issued by the securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) Amount.

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest rupees as required, unless otherwise stated.

b) Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements is in conformity with Ind AS requires Management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during reporting period. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known/ materialized.

c) Critical accounting judgments, assumptions and key sources of estimation and uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the measurement principle of Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

In particular, following are the significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in standalone financial statements:

Assessment of useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset-refer note no j below.

Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes.

Claims are accounted for on determination of certainty of realization thereof.

Estimation of uncertainty related to Global Health Pandemic from COVID-19: The Company has considered the possible effects that may results from pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amount of financial assets including Trade receivable. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in global economic conditions because of the pandemic, the Company as at the date of approval of these financial statement has used internal and external source of information, on the expected future performance of the Company and based on estimates the Company expects that the carrying amount of financial assets will be recovered and the Company do not expect any significant impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial statements as at the date of approval of these Standalone Financial Statements.

Impairment allowances for on trade receivables: The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the customers to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance, credit-worthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience.

Provisions and Contingencies

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. Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/htigations/ against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.

d) Current v/s non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

• Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

• It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

The Company has deemed its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current / noncurrent classification.

e) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of goods when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of contract with the customer. This is achieved when it no longer retains control over the goods sold, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred m respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Sale of goods and services is recognized net of taxes collected on behalf of third parties.

The performance obligation in case of sale of goods is satisfied at a point in time i.e., when the material is shipped to the customer or on delivery to the customer, as may be specified m the contract.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial assets to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividend income is accounted for on receipt of payment.

Job Charges / Conversion charges received are recognized at net of taxes and reported under revenue from services.

Insurance Claim is accrued in the year when the right to receive is established and is recognized to the extent there is no uncertainty about its ultimate collection.

f) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each Balance Sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognized in the previous periods. If any indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset or Cash-Generating Unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used

g) Impairment of Financial Assets

In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

h) Inventories:

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories is determined on weighted average basis and comprises of expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such inventories to their location and includes, where applicable appropriate overheads.

For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits as defined above as they are considered as an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period 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.

j) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Stores and spares which meet the definition of property, plant and equipment and satisfy recognition criteria of Ind AS 16 are capitalized as property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment which are not ready for their intended use.

The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end and changes, if any, are accounted prospectively.

Current Tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year, determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses being carried forward, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in future against which those deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. In view of continuous losses incurred in previous years, company has not calculated deffered tax.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

A contingent liability is disclosed when:

(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company; or

(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because:

(i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or

(ii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
