2.1 Defined Contribution Plans
During the period an amount of Rs.18,24 (Previous year Rs. 43,73) has
been recognised as expenditure towards Defined Contribution Plans of
the Company.
2.2 Post Employment Defined Benefit Plans
I. Gratuity ( Funded)
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan
covering eligible employees. As per the scheme, the Gratuity Trust
Fund, managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and
another insurance company, makes payment to vested employees at
retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an
amount equivalent to the respective employee's eligible salary for
fifteen days for each year of completed service subject to a maximum
limit as laid down under the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972. Vesting
occurs upon completion of five years of service. Liabilities with
regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation as
set out in Note 2.10, based upon which, the Company makes contributions
to the Gratuity Fund.
The following Table sets forth the particulars in respect of the
aforesaid Gratuity Fund of the Company for the six months ended 31
March, 2013:
Notes:
(i) The estimate of future salary increases take into account
inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
(ii) The expected return on plan assets is determined after taking into
consideration composition of the plan assets held, assessed risks of
asset management, historical results of the return on plan assets, the
Company's policy for Plan asset management and other relevant factors.
II. Certain employees of the Company receive benefits from provident
fund, which is a defined benefit plan and administered by the Trust set
up by the Company. Aggregate contributions along with interest thereon
are paid at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of
employment. Both the employees and the Company make monthly
contributions at specified percentage of the employee's salary to such
Provident Fund Trust. The Company has an obligation to fund any
shortfall in return on plan assets over the interest rates prescribed
by the authorities from time to time. In keeping with the guidance on
implementing Accounting Standards (AS) 15 on Employee Benefits issued
by the Accounting Standards Board of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India, a provident fund set up by the Company is treated
as a defined benefit plan since the Company is obligated to meet
interest shortfall, if any. However, as at period end, no shortfall
remains unprovided for. The Actuary has opined that the fund will
remain in a comfortable position to meet the interest liability in
respect of members in service over the next five years and the fund may
be treated as to have no interest liability as at 31 March,2013. During
the period, the Company has contributed Rs.1,80 (Previous year Rs. 4,36
) to the said Provident Fund. [ included under line item " Contribution
to Provident and Other Funds " on Note 25].
3.1 In earlier years, the Company was negotiating with its Consortium
Bankers for an One Time Settlement (OTS) of its dues. Accordingly, in
anticipation of an OTS, the Company did not provide for any interest on
its dues to its Consortium Bankers and SICOM in the financial year
2010-11. However, as indicated in Note 3, the OTS did not materialise
and accordingly as a matter of prudence, the Company has provided for
the interest for the financial year 2010-11 in the financial year
2011-12, although negotiations are on with the Consortium Banks and
SICOM for a fresh settlement of the dues.
The management believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position and result of operations. The Company does not expect any
reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
