M. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets
The Company recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event exists and it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of 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.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits. Contingent Assets are not recognized though are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
N. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash equivalents for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement comprise cash and cheques in hand, bank balances and demand deposits with banks where the original maturity is three months or less.
O. Employee Benefits
Short Term Employee Benefits: All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits and they are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit & Loss of the year in which related service is rendered.
Compensated absences: Compensated
absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognized based on actuarial valuation at the present value of the obligation as on the reporting date.
Post-Employment Benefits:
Provident Fund scheme: Retirement benefit in the form of Provident Fund is a defined
contribution scheme and the company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as expenditure when an employee renders the related service. The Company has no obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective funds.
Gratuity scheme: Gratuity liability, being a defined benefit obligation, is provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on Projected Unit Credit method made at the end of each financial year.
Recognition and measurement of Defined Benefit plans: The cost of providing defined benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each reporting date. The defined benefit obligations recognized in the Balance Sheet represent the present value of the defined benefit obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets, if applicable. Any defined benefit asset (negative defined benefit obligations resulting from this calculation) is recognized representing the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
All expenses represented by current service cost, past service cost, if any, and net interest on the defined benefit liability / (asset) are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit obligation, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling, are recognized in other comprehensive income. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to the statement of profit and loss.
P. Leases
The Company as lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. The assessment involves the exercise of judgement about whether (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset through the period of the lease, and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability at
the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The ROU asset is depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the earlier of, the end of the estimated useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate specific to the Company, term and currency of the contract. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability include fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate known at the commencement date; and extension option payments or purchase options payment which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the ROU asset. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “other expenses” in the statement of profit or loss.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made and remeasured (with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset) when there is a change in future lease payments in case of renegotiation,
changes of an index or rate or in case of reassessment of options.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:
The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short term leases as well as low value assets and recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Q. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs, if any, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized, if any. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
R. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders are divided with the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
S. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments of the Company.
T. Rounding Off
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
2. KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES & JUDGEMENTS:
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:
2.1. Significant judgments when applying Ind AS 115
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. The Company exercises judgment in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. The Company considers indicators such as who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
2.2. Useful lives of depreciable assets
As described in the material accounting policies, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period.
2.3. Defined benefit obligation
The cost of post-employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rate of return on assets, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the long term nature of these plans such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.
2.4. Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses impairment based on Expected Credit Losses (ecl) model on trade receivables. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historically observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward¬ looking estimates are analysed.
2.5. Impairment of Investment in Subsidiary
The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the respective company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
2.6. Recoverability of advances/ receivables
At each balance sheet date, based on discussions with the respective counterparties and internal assessment of their credit worthiness, the management assesses the recoverability of
outstanding receivables and advances. Such assessment requires significant management judgement based on financial position of the counterparties, market information and other relevant factor.
2.7.Contingent assets and liabilities, uncertain assets and liabilities
Liabilities that are uncertain in timing or amount are recognized when a liability arises from a past event and an outflow of cash or other resources is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations where a future event will determine whether Company will be required to make a payment to settle the liability, or where the size of the payment cannot be determined reliably. Material contingent liabilities are disclosed unless a future payment is considered remote. Evaluation of uncertain liabilities and contingent liabilities and assets requires judgment and assumptions regarding the probability of realization and the timing and amount, or range of amounts, that may ultimately be incurred. Such estimates may vary from the ultimate outcome as a result of differing interpretations of laws and facts.
15.1 Terms of Repayments
a) Term Loan facilities from banks are secured by first pari-passu charge on the entire fixed assets (both present & future) and Second pari-passu charge on the entire current assets (both present & future) of the Company. Personal guarantee of Puranmal Agrawal, Suresh Kumar Agrawal, Manish Agrawal and Saket Agrawal is given alongwith corporate guarantee of a group company. Corporate Guarantee is restricted to the extent of shares pledged of the promoter group company. The interest rate on the domestic long term borrowings are of 2.90% above 6 months MCLR. The Term Loan facilitated from the bank is repayable in 30 Quarterly Instalments from December 2017. Last instalment due in September 2025.
b) Pursuant to the Resolution Plan approved under the Reserve Bank of India's Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A), the Company executed a Master Framework Agreement with the lenders in 24th January 2018.
The Company had issued 451,970,554 nos. of Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCDs) amounting to H 451,97.05 lakhs during the financial year 2017-18. The OCDs had a moratorium period of 7 years and were repayable in 36 structured quarterly instalments starting from December, 2024 and maturing on September 2033. The OCDs carried a coupon rate of 0.01% pa. payable quarterly till maturity. The OCDs were convertible into Equity at the option of the OCD holders. OCDs may be redeemed alongwith a redemption premium. The redemption premium is inclusive of YTM @ 2.00% p.a. compounded quarterly. As per valuation report and relevant IND AS, PV of OCD as on the OCD issuing date i.e. March 21, 2018 was H 16,690.00 Lakhs which had been treated as financial liability and balance of H 28,506.44 Lakhs had been treated as other equity in the financial year 2017-18.
Further, the interest expenses (the unwinding of the discount) had been booked at market rate (11.5%) to unwind the liability component to the extent of value of OCD at each reporting date.
In addition to the above, the Promoter / Promoters’ group had transferred 12,85,78,044 equity shares, at H 10/- per equity share of H 12,857.80 lakhs, to the lenders, as a part payment of unsustainable debt and the same was treated as unsecured loan.
Upon receipt of conversion notices from OCD holders and approval of shareholders for conversion of Unsecured loans from promoters, the Company has undertaken the following debt-to-equity conversions during the financial year 2024-25:
(a) Conversion of Outstanding OCDs (net of repayments) amounting to H. 45,157.15 lakhs along with YTM of H 6,953.08 lakhs into 14,48,22,208 equity shares of face value H 10 each at a premium.
(b) Conversion of Outstanding Unsecured Loans (net of repayments) amounting to H 12,795.80 Lakhs into 3,65,59,437 equity shares of face value H 10 each at a premium.
30. The Company is subject to Income Tax in India on the basis of Standalone Financial Statements. As per the Income Tax Act, 1961, in the previous year, the Company was liable to pay income tax which is the higher of regular income tax payable and the amount payable based on the provisions applicable for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). However, from the current year, the Company has opted the option u/s 115 BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961; introduced by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019, which gives irreversible option for payment of Income Tax at reduced rate subject to certain conditions.
In view of above, MAT Credit of H 2,648.71 Lakhs accounted for in earlier years has been reversed during the current year. Further, Deferred Tax Assets/Liabilities also have been measured/re-measured at the rates specified under new regime. Due to the change in the applicable income tax rate under the new regime, an impact of H 0.86 Lakhs has been recognised and included in the below reconciliation.
This section gives an overview of the significance of financial instruments for the Company and provides additional information on balance sheet items that contain financial instruments. The details of significant accounting policies, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note F.1 & F.2 to the financial statements.
34. Financial instruments (Contd..)
ii) Fair values hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, as described below:
Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares.
Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities, measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). This level of hierarchy includes Company’s over-the-counter (otc) derivative contracts.
Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
iii) Valuation process and technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
(a) Quoted investments (Equity Shares)- The Quoted Equity Instruments are listed in Calcutta Stock Exchange where the trading is suspended. Value is as determined by Independent Valuer. Fair value estimates of equity investments are included in level-3 and are based on information relating to value of investee company’s net assets methods.
(b) The fair value of investment in unquoted shares are determined by an Independent Valuer. The invetsment in equity shares of H 4,099.86 Lakhs (31.03.2024 - H 4,020.66 lakhs) are not listed. Their fair value estimates are included in level-3 and are based on information relating to value of investee company’s net assets or DCF methods as applicable.
(c) The carrying amount of financial assets (other than investments) and financial liabilities (other than derivative liabilities) measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
(d) The Company’s forward exchange contracts have been valued based on mark to market reports provided by the counterparty bank. Since the valuation uses observable market inputs, but not quoted prices in active markets, the fair value measure has been classified under Level 2.
iv) Valuation inputs and relationships to fair value
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy about the significant unobservable inputs
used in level 3 fair value measurements. Refer (iii)(b) above for the valuation techniques adopted.
35. Financial Risk Management, Objectives and Policies
a) Capital Management
i) Risk Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to
- safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new share, convert outstanding OCD's into equities or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of net debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of overall debt portfolio of the Company.
Net debt implies total borrowings of the Company comprises all components attributable to the owners of the Company
No changes were made in the objective policies & process for expenditure as on 31st March 2025 & 31st March 2024.
ii) Dividends
The company has not declared/paid any dividend for FY 2023-24 and no dividend has been proposed for FY 2024-25.
b) Financial Risk Management
The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, the Company has risk management policies as described below :-
i) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss arising from default / failure by the counterparty to meet financial obligations as per the terms of contract. The Company is exposed to credit risk for receivables, cash and cash equivalents. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risks.
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and reconciled. Based on historical trend, industry practice and the business environment in which the company operates, an impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date for trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 9.
Credit Risk on cash and cash equivalent, deposits with the banks/financial institutions is generally low as the said deposits have been made with the banks/financial institutions who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic rating agencies.
ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company’s treasury team is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date based on contractual undiscounted payments
C) Market Risk
i) Foreign currency risk
The company is primarliy not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions. However, the Company has entered into derivative contracts to hedge its exposure in foreign currency due to swap of INR Loan into USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency.
36. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (Contd..)
The Company, based on a legal opinion from a firm of repute, has re-estimated the amount of RoR amounting to H 10,120 lakhs as compared to H 27,801 lakhs, which states that as per CDR Master Circular dated June 25, 2015 issued by the Corporate Debt Restructuring Cell (CDR) in 2012 & 2015, if any part of principal or interest dues are converted into equity, the same will not be reckoned for computation of recompense. Since all the outstanding OCDs has been converted during the year, accordingly ROR as at 31st March, 2025 has been calculated only on outstanding term loans and short term borrowings.
b) The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code on Social Security, 2020 on November 13, 2020, and has invited suggestions from stakeholders which are under active consideration by the Ministry. The Company will assess the impact of the Code when it comes into effect and will record any related impact in the period when the Code becomes effective.
c) Capital & Other Commitment
The capital & other commitment for the company amounts to H Nil (previous year - H Nil)
37. The Company does not have any charges or satisfaction of which is yet to be registered with ROC beyond the
statutory period as on 31st March 2025.
38. The company has not filed any Scheme of Arrangements in terms of sections 230 to 237 of the Companies Act, 2013 with any Competent Authority.
39. Short Term Leases
The Company’s leasing arrangements are in respect of short term leases for office premises at Kolkata and Raigarh, depot at Raipur & guest houses at Raigarh, Gairkata, Keonjhar, Vishakapatnam and Kolkata. These leasing arrangements which are cancellable, are entered for a period of 11 months and the Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short term leases and recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense. The Company has paid lease rentals of H 267.57 Lakhs ( Previous year - H 157.00 Lakhs). The company also hires equipments on short term contract basis, and has paid H 1,754.16 Lakhs (Previous year - H 1,942.30 Lakhs) against it during the year which is included in other manufacturing expenses.
Defined Benefit Plan: a) Gratuity Plan
The Company has a defined Gratuity Benefit plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to gratuity as per the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Company has got an approved gratuity fund with Life Insurance Corporation of India (lic) to cover the gratuity liabilities.The present value of defined obligation and related current cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuation being carried out at Balance Sheet date.
40. Disclosure pursuant to Indian Accounting Standard - 19 ‘Employee Benefits’ (Contd..)
b) Risk Exposure
Defined benefit plans expose the Company to the following types of actuarial risks:
Interest rate risk: The Plan exposes the company to the risk of fall in interest rates . A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).
Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the company is not able to meet the short term gratuity payouts .This may arise due to non availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.
Salary Escalation Risk: The Present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future . Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.
Demographic Risk: The company has used certain mortality and attrition assumption in valuation of the liability . The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.
Regulatory Risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirement of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (as amended from time to time). There is risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts (e.g. Increase in the maximum limit on gratuity of H 20,00,000).
Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liability is longer compared to duration of assets, exposing the Company to market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.
Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular Investment.
c) Reconciliation Of the net defined benefit (Assets/Liabilities)
The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for the net defined benefit (asset)/ liability and its components:
40. Disclosure pursuant to Indian Accounting Standard - 19 ‘Employee Benefits’ (Contd..)
The Gratuity Scheme is invested in policies offered by Life Insurance Corporation (lic) of India . The information on the allocation of the fund into major asset classes and expected return on each major class are not readily available. The expected rate of return on plan assets is based on market expectations, at the beginning of the period, for returns over the entire life of the related obligation.
i) Asset Liability Matching Strategy
The company has purchased insurance policy which is basically a year on year cash accumulation plan in which the interest rate is declared on yearly basis and is guaranteed for a period of one year. The Insurance company as a part of policy rules makes payment of all gratuity outgoes happening during the year (subject to sufficiency of fund under the policy). The Policy, thus mitigate the liquidity risk. However, being cash accumulation plan the duration of assets shorter compared to the duration of liabilities. Thus the company is exposed to movement in interest rate (in Particular the significant fall in interest rate which should result in a increase in liability without corresponding increase in assets).
** For the year ended March 31, 2025 the Company has paid/ provided managerial remuneration amounting to H 274.11 lakhs to its directors which is in excess of the limit set under section 197 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Company proposes to seek approval of the shareholders by way of special resolution at the ensuing annual general meeting for waiver of recovery of such excess remuneration paid in terms of section 197(10) of the Companies Act, 2013.
Key Managerial Personnel and Relatives of Promoters who are under the employment of the Company are entitled to post employment benefits and other long term employee benefits recognised as per Ind AS 19- ‘Employee Benefits’ in the financial statements. As these employee benefits are lump sum amounts provided on the basis of actuarial valuation, the same is not included above.
The Company has received personal guarantee from Puranmal Agrawal, Suresh Kumar Agrawal, Manish Agrawal & Saket Agrawal in relation to loan taken from banks having outstanding balance of H 24,102.58 lakhs (PY H 31,775.06 lakhs).
