In March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2018, notifying amendments to Ind AS 12 ‘Income Taxes’, Ind AS 21, ‘The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates and also introduced new revenue recognition standard Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’. These amendments rules are applicable to the Company from April 1, 2018.

Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ (Ind AS 115)

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’) has notified new standard for revenue recognition which overhauls the existing revenue recognition standards including Ind AS 18 - Revenue. The new standard provides a control-based revenue recognition model and provides a five step application principle to be followed for revenue recognition:

(i) Identification of the contracts with the customer

(ii) Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

(iii) Determination of the transaction price

(iv) Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract (as identified in step ii)

(v) Recognition of revenue when performance obligation is satisfied.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

- Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8

- Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach) The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018.

The management is yet to assess the impact of this new standard on the Company’s financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 21

i) Gratuity scheme

The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, employee who has completed five years of service is entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age.

Encashment can be made during the service, on early retirement, on withdrawal of scheme, at resignation by employee and upon death of employee. The scale of benefits is determined based on the seniority and the respective employee’s salary. The Company records an obligation for such compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.

Re-measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest and if applicable), is reflected immediately in Other Comprehensive Income in the statement of profit and loss.

NOTE 4 : CAPITAL MANAGEMENT_

For the purpose of Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company includes within net debt, interest bearing borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

a) For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company has outstanding mark to market forward contracts amount to Rs. 215.55 lakhs (March 31, 2017: Rs. 1,120.27 lakhs ; April 1, 2016 : Rs. 215.06 lakhs) relating to derivative financial instruments. These commitments with respect to foreign currrency forward contracts have been entered into by the Company to hedge against future receipts from customers in the ordinary course of business. These arrangements are designed to address significant exchange exposures and are reviewed/ renewed by the Management on a revolving basis as required.

b) The following table represents the aggregate contracted principal amount of Company’s Derivative contracts outstanding:

Management has assessed that trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, Interest accrued on borrowings and current maturities of long term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Long-term borrowing includes vehicle loan and corporate loans obtained from banks and Financial institutions. Management determines vehicle loan and corporate loan to be at the market rate of interest as at the reporting date, accordingly, the carrying value of such long-term borrowing approximates fair value.

c) Discount rate used in determining fair value

The interest rate used to discount estimated future cash flows, where applicable, are based on the incremental borrowing rate of borrower which in case of financial liabilities is average market cost of borrowings of the Company and in case of financial asset is the average market rate of similar credit rated instrument. The company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

i) Fair values of the Company’s interest-bearing borrowings, loans and investment in preference shares in subsidiary are determined by using DCF method using discount rate that reflects the rate as at the end of the reporting period.

ii) Fair value for security deposits paid & received (other than perpetual security deposits) has been presented based on the discounting factor as at the reporting date.

iii) Fair value for all other non-current assets and liabilities is equivalent to the amortised cost, interest rate on them is equivalent to the market rate of interest.

iv) For other financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

v) Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

- The fair values of investments In mutual fund units is based on The net asset value (‘NAV’) as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which The issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and The price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.

- Investment in quoted equity instruments of entities other than subsidiaries has been determined on the basis of quoted rates available from securities markets in India.

- The fair value of derivative financial instruments (forward exchange contract) has been determined on the basis of mark to market valuation.

NOTE 6 : FAIR 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.

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities

* Management has assessed that trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, Interest accrued on borrowings and current maturities of long term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments. (refer note 42 c(iv))

NOTE 7 : FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES_

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprises of trade and other payables, borrowings, current maturity of borrowings, interest accrued and capital creditors. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations.

The Company’s principal financial assets includes Investment in mutual funds, loans to related parties, security deposits, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with bank, interest accrued in deposits, receivables from related and other parties and interest accrued thereon.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s senior level management oversees the management of these risks and is supported by Treasury department that advises on the appropriate financial risk governance framework.

A. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk borrowings, short term deposits and derivative financial instruments.

The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to interest rate risk. The Company manages its net exposure to interest rate risk related to borrowings, by balancing a proportion of fixed rate and floating rate borrowing in its total borrowing portfolio. To manage this portfolio mix, the Company may enter into currency rate swap arrangements and/ or interest rate swap arrangements, which allows the company to exchange periodic payments based on a notional amount and agreed upon fixed and floating interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on the portion of borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.

ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency risk senstivity is the impact on the Company’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities on unhedged exposures. The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, EURO and GBP exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

B. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

i) Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables as of the reporting date is as follows:

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 42. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and operate in largely independent markets.

ii) Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks, investment in mutual funds and loan to related parties is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Company’s finance committee. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.

C. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Company’s objective is to, maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate sources of financing including loans from banks at an optimised cost.

This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP financial statements, including the balance sheet as at 1 April 2016 and the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Exemptions applied

Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following exemptions:

a) Mandatory exceptions

iv) Impairment of financial assets: (Trade receivables and other financial assets)

At the date of transition to Ind AS, the Company has determined that there significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition of a financial instrument would require undue cost or effort, the Company has recognised a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date until that financial instrument is derecognised (unless that financial instrument is low credit risk at a reporting date).

b) Optional exemptions

i. Deemed cost-Previous GAAP carrying amount: (PPE and Intangible) :

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP (Indian GAAP) and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities, if any. This exemption can also be used for Intangible Assets covered by Ind AS 38. Accordingly, the company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment, capital work in progress and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.

ii. Leases :

Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires the first-time adopter to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. However, the Company has used Ind AS 101 exemption and assessed all arrangements for embedded leases based on conditions in place as at the date of transition.

iii. Investment in subsidiaries :

Ind AS 101 provide an option to measure investments in subsidiaries at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27 at either fair value on date of transition or Previous GAAP carrying values. The Company has elected to use the carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.

iv. Foreign currency translation

Under Indian GAAP, the Group recognised translation differences on foreign operations in a separate component of equity. Under Ind AS, Cumulative currency translation differences for all foreign operations are deemed to be zero as at 1st April 2016. The resulting adjustment was recognised against retained earnings as at transition date.

v. Business combination

Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter not to apply Ind AS 21 Effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates retrospectively for business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to Ind AS. In such cases, where the entity does not apply Ind AS 21 retrospectively to fair value adjustments and goodwill, the entity treats them as assets and liabilities of the acquirer entity and not as the acquiree.

f) Footnotes to the reconciliation of equity as at April 01, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and profit or loss for the year ended March 31, 2018:

v. Security deposit paid

Under Previous GAAP, the security deposits paid for lease rent are shown at the transaction value whereas under Ind AS, the same are initially discounted and subsequently recorded at amortized cost at the end of every financial reporting period.

Further, interest is accreted on the present value of the security deposits paid for lease rent (along with current and non- current classification).

vi. Security deposit received

Under Previous GAAP, the security deposits received for lease rent are shown at the transaction value whereas under Ind AS, the same are initially discounted and subsequently recorded at amortized cost at the end of every financial reporting period.

Further, interest is accreted on the present value of the security deposits received for lease rent (along with current and non- current classification).

vii. Borrowings

As required under Ind AS 109 transactions cost incurred towards origination of borrowings have been deducted from the carrying amount of borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognised in the profit and loss over the tenure of the borrowing as interest expenses, computed using the effective interest rate method corresponding effect being in Long term borrowings and to the extent attributable to current maturity of long term debts.

Under the previous GAAP, these transaction costs were charged to statement of profit and loss as and when incurred. Consequently, borrowings as at transition date have been reduced with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings.

viii. Proposed Dividend

Under Previous GAAP, proposed dividends and related dividend distribution tax was recognised as a provision in the year to which they relate, irrespective of when they are declared. Under Ind AS, dividends and related dividend distribution tax are recognised as a liability in the year in which it is approved by the shareholders in the Annual General Meeting of the Company.

ix. Excise Duty

Under Previous GAAP, excise duty was netted off against sale of goods. However, under Ind AS, excise duty is included in sale of goods and is separately presented as expense on the face of Statement of Profit and Loss. Thus, sale of goods under Ind AS has increased with a corresponding increase in expenses.

x. Lease equalisation payable

Under Previous GAAP, operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Whereas under Ind AS, lease equalisation reserve is derecognised as operating lease payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost.

xi. Lease Equalisation Receivable

Under Previous GAAP, operating lease payments are recognized as an income in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

xii. Prior period expenses

Under previous GAAP, Company has recognised expenses pertaining to period prior to transition date in the financial year 2016-17. This has been shown as a prior period expenses. However, Ind AS requires the Company to correct the prior period errors retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for the prior period presented in the which the error occurred. Further, where the amount of prior period pertains to the period before the earliest prior period presented, opening balances of the earliest period presented are to be restated.

xiii. Fair valuation of mutual fund

xiv. Employee benefits

Under Ind AS, re-measurements (comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the books with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI.

xv. Income on corporate guarantee

Under previous GAAP, income on corporate guarantee was not recoginised in the statement of Profit and Loss whereas under Ind AS income on corporate guarantee measured at fair value issued to subsidiaries has been recoginised in the statement ofProfit and Loss.

xvi. Deferred tax

Previous GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the Balance Sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the Balance Sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences relating to various transition adjustments which are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings as a separate component in equity.

xvii. Other comprehensive income

Items of income and expense that are not recognised in profit and loss but are shown in ‘other comprehensive income’ includes re-measurements gain/(loss) of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP. As a consequence, re-measurement gain/(loss) of defined benefit plans has been regrouped from employee benefit expense to other comprehensive income.

NOTE 10 : IMPACT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS_

Consequent to the introduction of goods and services Tax (GST) with effect from 1 July 2017, VAT/Sales Tax, Excise Duty etc. have been subsumed into GST and accordingly the GST is not recognised as part of revenue from operations and excise duty as a seperate expense line item as per the requirements of Ind AS. This has resulted in lower reported revenue from operations in the current year in comparison to the revenue from operations reported under the pre-GST structure of indirect taxes. Accordingly, the Revenue from operations for the year ended March 31, 2018 are not comparable with year ended March 31, 2017 presented in the financial results which are reported inclusive of Excise Duty.
