l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
1B. Critical Estimates and Judgements
The Preparation of financial statements require the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies. This note indicates existence of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different that those originally assessed.
The major areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
- Estimation of Provisions & Contingent Liabilities
- Estimated useful life of tangible and intangible assets
- Estimation of defined benefit obligation
- Impairment of trade receivables
- Estimated fair value of financial instruments
(IV) Rights, preference and restrictions attached to equity shares
The Company has one class of equity shares having a par value of ? 10 per share. Each shareholder is eligible for one vote per share held. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting,except in case of interim dividend. In the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts,in proportion to their shareholding.
b) Fair Value hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed the accounting standards below:
Level - 1 Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted price. This includes mutual funds & listed Equity shares that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV and listed equity shares are valued at closing market price on the date of reporting.
Level - 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example trade bond, over-the- counter derivatives) is determined using valuation technique which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity -specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level-2.
Level - 3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Financial Risk Management
Financial instruments and cash deposits
The Company maintains exposure in cash and cash equivalents, term deposits with banks and investments in mutual funds and equity shares etc. The Company avoids concentration of credit risk by spreading them over different counter parties which have good credit ratings, good reputation and hence the risk is reduced.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company's established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. On account of adoption of Ind-AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors and the Company's historical experience for customers.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
Market Risk
Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits and derivative financial instruments.
Currency risk
The company's operations are such that all activities are confined to India only.
