2.13 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 the Company 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. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation,
its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is
material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered
from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be
received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
2.14 Financial Instruments
A. Initial recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company entity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted
from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into
known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original
maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
B. Subsequent measurement
I. Non-derivative financial instruments
a. Financial assets carried at amortised cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within
a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
b. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Investment in equity instruments (other than subsidiaries / associates / joint ventures) - All equity
investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity insturments which are hled
for trading are generally classified at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For all other equity
instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either at fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Company makes such election on an
instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on
the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). There
is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company
may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. Dividends on such investments are recognised
in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes
recognized in the P&L.
c. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised
cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
d. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method,
except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently
measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year
from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of
these instruments.
II. Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new
ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
C. Derecognition of financial instruments
The company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under
Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's
Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
2.15 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and
assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods
used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and
dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value
may never actually be realised.
2.16 Impairment of financial assets (other than at fair value)
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial
assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance.
The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that
do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured
at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected
credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition

normal course of business. The Company does not have any long-term commitments/contracts including
