3.8 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities And Contingent Assets
Provisions
Provisions, which required a substantial degree of estimation, are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to a provision is recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
I f 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 in respective expense.
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes. Contingent liabilities are disclosed for possible
obligations which will be confirmed only by the future event not wholly within the control of the Company or present obligations arising from the past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
3.9 Income Tax
I ncome Tax Expenses comprise the sum of Current Tax (including past year tax difference) and Deferred Tax
Current Tax
Provision for current tax is made as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax:
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised 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 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 taxation authority.
3.10Employee Benefits
Short-term Employee Benefits
Employee benefit liabilities such as salaries, wages and bonus, etc. that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at an undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Post-employment benefit plans Defined Contribution Plans:
State governed Provident Fund Scheme and Employees State Insurance Scheme are defined contribution plans since eligible employees are entitled to get benefits and both the Company and eligible employees make monthly contributions towards the same. The contribution paid / payable by the Company under the schemes is recognized during the period in which the employees render the related services.
Defined Benefit Plans:
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The Company recognizes the defined benefit liability in Balance sheet. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan and the related current service cost and, where applicable past service cost is determined based on an actuarial valuation done using the Projected Unit Credit
Method by an independent actuary, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligations are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows.
Re-measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) is reflected immediately in Other Comprehensive Income in the Statement of Profit and loss. All other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit expenses. Re¬ measurements recognized in Other Comprehensive Income will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss hence it is treated as part of retained earnings in the Statement of Changes in Equity.
Other Long Term Employee Benefits:
Other Long Term Employee Benefits such as long term compensated absences are measured at present value of estimated future cash flows to be made by the company and is measured, recognized and presented in the same manner as the defined benefit gratuity plant narrated above.
3.11 Fair Value Measurement
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
• I n 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 to/ by the Company.
Fair Value hierarchy
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised 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) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that has a significant effect on the fair value measurement are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest level input which has a significant effect on the fair value measurement is not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
3.12 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets are recognised 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.
Subsequent measurement:
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are measured in their entirety at either amortised cost of fair value depending on classification of the Financial Asset :
Financial Assets at Amortised Cost
A Financial Assets is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised Cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.
The EIR amortization and losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss. The amortized cost of the financial asset is also adjusted for loss allowance, if any.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
A Financial Asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both the following conditions are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL)
FVTPL is a residual category for Financial Assets.
Any Financial Asset, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at Amortized Cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
I n addition, the company may elect to designate a Financial Asset, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as 'accounting mismatch').
Financial Assets included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
Derecognition:
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
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 on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
• Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e. g. Loans and trade receivables.
• The company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value deducted by, in the case of financial liabilities not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the liability.
Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Company's
financial liabilities include trade payables, borrowings and other financial liabilities.
Under the effective interest method, the future cash payments are exactly discounted to the initial recognition value using the effective interest rate. The cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of the difference between the initial recognition amount and the maturity amount is added to the initial recognition value (net of principal repayments, if any) of the financial liability over the relevant period of the financial liability to arrive at the amortized cost at each reporting date. The corresponding effect of the amortization under effective interest method is recognized as expense over the relevant period of the financial liability in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition:
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the Derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Balance Sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
3.13Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint ventures are carried at cost / deemed cost applied on transition to Ind AS, less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of investment is assessed and an impairment provision is recognised, if required immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of such investments, difference between the net disposal proceeds and carrying amount is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
3.14 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs comprise direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the price at which the inventories can be realised in the normal course of business after allowing for the cost of conversion from their existing state to a finished condition and for the cost of marketing, selling and distribution.
Raw Materials are valued at cost ascertained on a weighted average basis or net realizable value, whichever is lower.
Finished goods produced by the company are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value.
Semi-Finished goods have been valued at lower of Raw Material cost, Direct Labour and appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads, latter being allocated based on normal operating capacity or net realizable value.
Stock of goods purchased for resale purposes are valued at their acquisition cost inclusive of all duties and taxes or Net Realizable Value whichever is lower.
Provisions and / or write-offs are made to cover slow- moving and obsolete items based on historical experience of utilisation on a product category basis and market conditions.
3.15 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short- term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
3.16 Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement of transactions and translation of monetary items are recognized in the statement of Profit or Loss except to the extent, exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest
costs on foreign currency borrowings, are capitalized as part of borrowing costs.
3.17 Forward contracts
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The Company tries to limit the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following risk management policies including use of derivatives. For this the Company enters into forward exchange contracts, where the counter-party is a Bank. Theses forward contracts are not used for trading or speculation purpose.
I n case, of forward contracts the gain or loss arising on exercise of option or settlement or cancellation are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss for the period.
The forwards contracts outstanding as at the end of the reporting period are recognized / restated at forward contract rates for the end date of the contract for a period equivalent to the balance maturity period of the contract as at the end of the reporting period and corresponding exchange gain or loss arising on the same is recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss for the period.
3.18 Revenue Recognition Sale of Products
Revenue from Sale of Products is recognised when control of the products or significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer for a consideration. This usually occurs when the products have been shipped or delivered to the specific location as the case may be, the risks of loss has been transferred, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Sale of products include related ancillary services, if any.
Domestic Sales are recognized at the transaction price of the consideration receivable net of Sales Returns and excluding the Goods and Service Tax (GST) element as well as net of expected volume discounts. Export Sales are recognized at their CIF Value charged to the Customers in Invoices.
Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A liability is recognised for expected volume discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the
reporting period. Any obligation to provide a refund is recognised as a provision.
The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing component and consideration payable to the customer like return and trade discounts.
Sale of Scrap
Revenue from sale of scrap is recognized as and when scrap is sold.
Other income

As the end of the year, the Agency has completed primary Physical Verification of the Property, Plant and Equipment and reconciliation of the same with the data available with a cut-off date of 31st March, 2024 as also a preliminary value allocation of costs and accumulated depreciation. However, the determination the final value-in-use of each item of Property, Plant and Equipment as also the estimated remaining useful lives was still under process given the technicalities involved in the estimations due to Property, Plant and Equipment having remained idle for a long period prior to takeover by new management and also limitation on availability of data in as much a substantial documentation had been seized by CBI and ED during the course of action on erstwhile management during the pre NCLT period. However, now the Company under the new management has been discharged from the cases and hence the documents are expected to be received back soon which will assist in speeding up the completion of the aforesaid exercise. Consequent to the above developments, the exercise is expected to be completed by end of the first quarter of the next fiscal year.
