the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or
services or for administrative purposes, are categorized as investment
properties. 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. The cost
shall also include borrowing cost if the recognition criteria are met. Said assets
are depreciated on straight line basis based on expected life span of assets
which is in accordance with Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013. Significant
parts of the property are depreciated separately based on their specific useful
lives. Any gain or loss on disposal of investment properties is recognized in profit
or loss account
Fair value of investments properties under each category are disclosed in the

accredited external independent valuer applying a recognized and accepted
valuation model or estimation based on available sources of information from
market
Transfers to or from the investment property is made only when there is a
change in use and the same is made at the carrying amount of investment
Property.
2.5 Intangible Assets
a) Intangible Assets are initially recognized at:-
1) In case the assets are acquired separately then at cost.
2) In case the assets are acquired in a business combination then at fair
value.
3) In case the assets are internally generated then at capitalized
development cost subject to satisfaction of criteria of recognition
(identifiability, control and future economic benefit) laid down from
clause 11 to 17 of IND-AS38.
Following initial recognition intangible assets are carried at cost less
any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss.
b) Intangible assets with finite useful life are assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be
impaired. Intangible assets with infinite useful like including goodwill are
tested for impairment annually.
2.6. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
a) An asset is deemed impairable when recoverable value is less than its
carrying cost and the difference between the two represents provisioning
exigency.
b) Recoverable value is the higher of the Value in Use'' and fair value as
reduced by cost of disposal.
c) Test of impairment of PPE, investment in subsidiaries/associates/joint
venture and goodwill are undertaken under Cash Generating Unit (CGU)
concept. For Intangible Assets and Investment Properties it is undertaken in
asset specific context

impairment, if any, from external and internal sources of information outlined
in para - 12 of lnd-AS-36.
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are

period.
2.7. Financial Instruments
(i) Financial Assets
Initial Recognition and Measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of
financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs
that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets measured
at fair value or as financial assets measured at amortised cost
Subsequent Measurement
For purpose of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified in two
broad categories:-
⢠Financial Assets at fair value
⢠Financial Assets at amortised cost
Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognized
entirely in the statement of profit and loss, or recognized in other comprehensive
income.
A financial asset that meets the following two conditions is measured at
amortized cost
⢠Business Model Test: The Objective of the companyâs business model
is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows.
⢠Cash Flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the financial
asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset that meets the following two conditions is measured at fair value
through OCI:-
⢠Business Model Test: The financial asset is held within a business
model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets.
⢠Cash flow characteristics Test: The contractual terms of the financial
asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
All equity investments are measured at fair value in the balance sheet, with value
changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss except for those equity
investments for which the entity has elected irrevocable option to present value
changes in OCI
Investment in associates, joint venture and subsidiaries
The company has accounted for its investment in subsidiaries, associates and
joint venture at cost.
Impairment of financial assets
The company assesses impairment based on Expected Credit Losses (ECL)
model at an amount equal to>
⢠12 Months expected credit losses, or
⢠Lifetime expected credit losses
depending upon whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition.
However, for trade receivables, the company does not tract the changes in credit
risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at
each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
(ii) Financial Liabilities
All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and, in the case of loans
and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value
through profit and loss (FVTPL). A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is
classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or is designated as such on
initial re^agrwfa^p. Financial Liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and
net gain or losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in statement of
profit and loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange
gains and losses are recognized in statement of profit and loss Any gain or loss
on de-recognized is also recognized in statement of profit and loss.
2.8. Fair Value Measurement
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 the most advantageous market for
the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the
company.
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
participantâs 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 recognized in the financial statements on a
recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred
between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at
the end of each reporting period.
The Companyâs Valuation Committee determines the policies and procedures for
both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and
unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring
measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.
2.9 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes
purchase price, duties, transport & handling costs and other costs directly
attributable to the acquisition and bringing the inventories to their present location
and condition.
The basis of determination of cost remains as follows
a) Raw material, Packing Material. Moving Weighted Average Basis.
b) Stores & spares: at standard cost which approximates the cost.
c) Work-in-progress: Cost of input plus overhead upto the stage of completion.
d) Finished Goods: Cost of input plus appropriate overhead.
2.10. Employee Benefits
Liabilities in respect of employee benefits to employees are provided for as
follows:
a) Short term employee benefits
i) Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that
are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the
period in which the employees render the related service are recognized
in respect of employeesâ services up to the end of the reporting period
and are measured at the amounts expected to be incurred when the
liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee
benefit obligations in the balance sheet
ii) ESI is provided on the basis of actual liability accrued and paid to
authorities
b) Post Separation Employee Benefit Plan
i) Defined Benefit Plan
⢠Gratuity Liability on the basis of actuarial valuation as per lnd-AS-19.
Liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of gratuity is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of each
reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit
obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit
credit method. The present value of defined benefit is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market
yield at the end of each reporting period on government bonds that
have terms approximate to the terms of the related obligation. The net
interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net
balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan
assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the
statement of profit and loss.
⢠Company contributes its share of contribution to Employees Provident
Fund Scheme administered by a separate trust with its obligation to
make good the shortfall, if any, in trust fund arising on account of
difference between the return on investments of the trust and the
interest rate on provident fund dues notified periodically by Central
Government.
⢠Actuarial gain/loss pertaining to I & II above and other components of
re-measurement of net defined benefit liability (asset) are accounted
for as OCI. All remaining components of costs are accounted for in
____ statement of profit & loss.
ii) Defined Contribution Plans :
⢠Liability for superannuation fund is provided on the basis of the
premium paid to insurance company in respect of employees
covered under Superannuation Fund Policy.
2.11. Income Tax and Deferred Tax
The liability of company on account of Income Tax is computed considering the
provisions of the Income Tax Act. 1961.
Deferred tax is provided using balance sheet approach on temporary differences
at the reporting date as difference between the tax base and the carrying amount
of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognized subject to the probability that
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be
reversed.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled,
based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized
outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable
right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the
deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority
Deferred tax assets are not recognized for temporary differences between the
carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries, and interest in joint
arrangements where it is not probable that the differences will reverse in the
foreseeable future and taxable profit will not be available against which the
temporary difference can be utilized.
