Statement of Significant Accounting policies and Other Explanatory Notes (A) Accounting Policies a) Basis of Preparation i) The Financial Statements have been brpared to comply in all material respects with the notified accounting standards by the Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 specified in section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2013. The financial statements have been brpared under the historical cost convention, on an accrual basis of accounting. The classification of assets and liabilities of the Company is done into current and non-current based on the operating cycle of the business of the Company. The operating cycle of the business of the Company is less than twelve months and therefore all current and non-current classifications are done based on the status of realisability and expected settlement of the respective asset and liability within a period of twelve months from the reporting date as required by Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. ii) Change in Accounting Policy The accounting policies adopted in the brparation of financial statements are consistent with those used in the brvious year. b) Use of Estimates The brparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. c) Inflation Assets and liabilities are shown at historical cost except revalued assets, which are shown at revalued amounts. No adjustments are made for changes in purchasing power of money. d) Fixed Assets i) Tangible / Intangible Assets are recorded at cost of acquisition or construction. Cost of acquisition comprises its purchase price including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Revalued assets are recorded at revalued amounts. ii) Goodwill rebrsents excess of consideration paid for acquisition of business over the fair value of net assets. iii) Capital Work In Progress rebrsents expenditure incurred on capital assets that are under construction or are pending capitalisation and includes Project expenses pending allocation. Project expenses pending allocation are apportioned to the fixed assets of the project proportionately on capitalisation. iv) Cost of borrowing for assets taking substantial time to be ready for use is capitalised for the period up to the time the asset is ready for its intended use. e) Investments Long term Investments are stated at cost. Provisions are made for diminution in value of investments other than temporary in nature. Current Investments are stated at cost or fair value which ever is lower. Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. f) Debrciation, Amortisation and Impairment i) Debrciation on all assets of the Company is charged on straight line method over the useful life of assets mentioned in Schedule II to the Companies Act ,2013 or the useful life brviously assessed by the management based on technical review whichever is lower for the proportionate period of use during the year. Intangible assets are amortised over the economic useful life estimated by the management. The management's estimated useful life/useful life as per schedule II whichever is lower for the various tangible assets are as follows. Assets -Estimated useful life (Years) Leasehold land Period of Lease Buildings 28 to 58 Roads 3 to 10 Plant and machinery and R&D equipments 9 to 20 Office and other equipments 5 Computers 3 to 6 Furniture and fixtures 10 Vehicles 6 to 8 Leasehold improvements Period of Lease ii) The management has estimated the economic useful life for the various intangible assets as follows. Assets Estimated useful life (Years) Brands and Trademarks 4 Technical Know how 4 Software for internal use 4 Goodwill 4 iii) On an annual basis the Company makes an assessment of any indicator that may lead to impairment of assets. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable amount is higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. Value is the brsent value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. iv) Fixed Assets individually costing upto Rs. 5,000/- are fully debrciated in the year of purchase. g) Inventories Items of inventories are valued lower of cost or estimated net realisable value as given below. Raw Materials and Packing Materials Lower of cost and Net realisable value. However materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on First-in-First-out basis. Work-in-process and Finished Goods At lower of cost including material cost net of CENVAT, labour cost and all overheads other than selling and distribution overheads and net realisable value. Excise duty is considered as cost for finished goods wherever applicable. Stores and Spares Stores and spare parts are valued at lower of purchase cost computed on First-in-First-out method and net realisable value. Traded Goods : Traded Goods are valued at lower of purchase cost and net realisable value h) Employee Benefits i) Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme and contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year/period when the contributions are due. ii) Gratuity being a defined benefit obligation is provided on the basis of an actuarial valuation made at the end of each year/period using the projected unit credit method. iii) Leave encashment is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of each year. iv) Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred. v) Leave Travel Assistance (LTA) liability has been provided on the basis of actual accumulated obligation. i) Excise Duty and Cenvat / Service Tax Credit i) The excise duty expenses are bifurcated into three components: excise duty expenses related to sales is reduced from gross sales, excise duty relating to the difference between the closing and opening stock of finished goods is recognized in the material cost and inventory adjustments and the un-recovered excise duty is recognized under other expenses. ii) CENVAT / Service Tax credit utilised during the year is accounted in excise duty and unutilised CENVAT / Service Tax credit at the year end is considered as duties and taxes refundable. j) Government Grants i) Grants and subsidies are recognized when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant or subsidy will be received and that all underlying conditions thereto will be complied with. ii) Grants relating to specific fixed assets are reduced from the gross value of the respective fixed assets. iii) Grants in the nature of promoter's contribution are credited to capital reserve account and treated as a part of shareholders' funds. k) Foreign Exchange Transactions i) Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate on the date of transaction. The exchange gain/loss on settlement / negotiation during the year is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. ii) Foreign currency monetary transactions remaining unsettled at the end of the year are converted at year-end rates. The resultant gain or loss is accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss. iii) Non Monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. iv) The overseas trading and non trading offices are integral foreign operation and are accounted accordingly. v) Exchange difference arising on a monetary item that in substance, forms part of an enterprise's net investments in a non-integral foreign operation are accumulated in foreign currency translation reserve. l) Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting i) The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and currency options to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and forecasted transactions. The Company designates these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges applying the recognition and measurement principles set out in the Accounting Standard 30 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" of the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2006. The use of hedging instruments is governed by the Company's policies approved by the Board of Directors, which provide written principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the Company's risk management strategy. ii) Hedging instruments are initially measured at fair value, and are re-measured at subsequent reporting dates. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in shareholders' funds and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. iii) Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as they arise. iv) Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time for forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in shareholders' funds is retained there until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in shareholders' funds is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period. m) Research and Development Revenue expenditure on research and development is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which it is incurred. Capital expenditure on research and development is considered as an addition to fixed assets. n) Revenue Recognition i) Revenue from sale of goods is recognised net of returns, product expiry claims and trade discount, on transfer of significant risk and rewards in respect of ownership to the buyer which is generally on dispatch of goods. Sales include excise duty but exclude sales tax and value added tax. ii) In respect of incentives attributable to the export of goods, the Company following the accounting principle of matching revenue with the cost has recognised export incentive receivable when all conditions brcedent to the eligibility of benefits have been satisfied and when it is reasonably certain of deriving the benefit. Since these schemes are meant for neutralisation of duties and taxes on inputs pursuant to exports, the same are grouped under material costs. iii) The other export incentives that do not arise out of neutralisation of duties and taxes are disclosed under other operating revenue. iv) Revenue from services is recognised when all relevant activities are completed and the right to receive income is established. v) Revenue in respect of insurance/other claims, commission, etc. are recognised only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made. vi) Interest income is recognised on time proportion method basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. vii) Dividend income is accounted when the right to receive the same is established. o) Borrowing Cost Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. In determining the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization during a period, any income earned on the temporary investment of those borrowings is deducted from the borrowing costs incurred. p) Employee Stock Option Scheme Employee stock options are evaluated and accounted on intrinsic value method as per the accounting treatment brscribed under Guidance Note on "Accounting for Employee Share-based payments" issued by the ICAI read with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme & Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India. Accordingly the excess of market value of the stock options as on the date of grant over the exercise price of the options is recognized as deferred employee compensation and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the options. The un-amortized portion of the deferred employee compensation is reduced from Employee Stock Option outstanding which is shown under Reserves and Surplus. q) Taxation Tax expenses comprise Current Tax and Deferred Tax.: i) Current Tax: Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Income Computation and Disclosure Standards issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes. ii) Deferred Tax: Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet 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 tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities related to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed debrciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available. iii) MAT Credit: Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as "MAT Credit Entitlement." The Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have reasonable certainty that it will pay normal tax during the specified period. r) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a brsent obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its brsent value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent Liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in notes to accounts. Contingent Assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in financial statements. s) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank,cheques on hand, cash in hand and short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. t) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
